Paint looks good, is it og? And Something looks off in the front. I'm probably just used to my foglight covers since I painted them black. They look better in black IMO. And I love boosted single cams.

Ya. I used to hang with a guy that had a boosted built D15B, that little motor hauled ***. If I didn't already have a B16 in my hatch I'd definitely go the SOHC route. But since I already have the B I'm gonna go ahead and boost that. Or maybe even go with the LS/turbo. IDK, I'll see what happens.

Anymore pics of the bay?

Lip is carbon and missing a chunk..I can take both positive and negative comments with embrace, but this is prolly the first time I've seen a spoonie lip take abuse.

Its getting replaced with another fresh carbon "spoon" lip next month when I recover from the high costs of hondata and tuning.

I've been toying with the idea of going oem lip for quite some time now, the only 2 things stopping me are the fact that I feel like I should be down alittle lower to pull it off with some class and the fact that I would have to get my bumper resprayed. As you can imagine the area behind the lip to which it seats at is shot to high hell from hitting ditch after ditch in NYC. Also I've always simply loved the look and feel of the spoonie lip, everyone is entitled to their opinion this one just happens to be mine.

As far as built goes I've done studs, 3mil gasket, full fuel system, maintenance - timing belt, water pump, oil pump, tensioner. Turbo kit install, mild wire tuck, hand polished whatever you see polished and many more odds and ends. All work done by me without any help, the only thing I didn't do was tune.

Thanx for all the positive and negative feedback!

The lip and the wheels ruin it for me I think.

First bodykits and altezzas took a ****, now "jdm" is taking a ****, I can't wait for oem to take a ****. Lol. I've been involved in this game for a decade and seen it all come and go. Trends are gay.

Not knocking negative feedback like I said earlier I embrace it, just being observant.

Car looks great dude! Rims and front lip gotta go, they ruin the front!

More pics of the bay and the paint looks really shiny. Any plans for the valve cover?
