as said in the title. back at it. this is now my 5th honda. had a lil run in with prerunners and hot rods for a bit. just picked up this riced out Eg hatch with a b16 swap. so im looking for parts and i got some body work to do. hope to build it up to ur standards.. well i really dont, im gonna build it clean and quick. im looking for a full interior for this thing, including headliner. i got alotta work to make it nice again and dont expect it to happen overnight. heres a few pics of it. also anybody recognize these 5zigen wheels. are they anything cool or are they junk.
also feel free to correct me on any forum etiquette that im stepping all over.

I drive a more riced out car than that due to having 3 kids and wife and being only one working....in all GOOD work there are no shortcuts, take your time, do it the way you want to....personally its clean, go oem bumpers, get new hood. and its fine. Well side panel trim too.
I'd dip and strip that head and paint it champ white with the car.

Wow it looks pretty clean minus the bumper,headlights and hood. The wheels are alright. You don't need to replace them if you don't want to. Haha. Get some oem side skirts (either ek or eg) maybe some gsr interior. You can buy the headliner straight from honda but they'll charge you a lot. idk about those mirrors either. I think the oem mirrors are the best looking. If you find a junkyard pick a part type deal i'm sure you can find small interior pieces like the door panels and such.
i actually think its pretty clean minuse the bumper lights and hood.... well actually i think the rims are garbage to. butyea nice pick up gl on build looking forward to seeing the finished results....

for now i gotta wire the vtec and some other wiring issues.. kinda hacked swap, but dont worry im going to fix it haha. later i plan on pulling the head and doing a port n polish with a gasket match on the intake and exhuast (did it for 3 years at lc engineering for toyotas) new valve train and some lumpier cam's. later down the road a small turbo kit cause this car is going to be a driver. id be happy seeing 300hp
Trending Topics
300hp is easily achieved with a turbo. No need to do any of the other stuff (unless u do it for urself and its free), u can run b16 intake springs on the exhaust side and run a type r or stage 1 cam and see good gains on a turbo motor. A nice cam,springs, and retainers will run u around a grand and thats just money u could be droping on ur turbo kit. U plannin on beefing up the internals?
car does need some work but i would make/build it to your standards not to the standards of the people on this site or anywhere else my sig says it all.

yeah man the whole interior is going to be replaced.. its all white vinyl right now.. sweat your *** off city.
and when i get the head off ill take a look at the cylinder walls and if they are rough then ill deal with internals. i know thats not a good judge but im a broke *** haha.
this build will take awhile right now it runs fine except for the non hooked up vtec so the motor wont be touched for a bit. gotta clean up the looks and interior.
