This is finally and officially a build....as some would call it. Some of yall already seen some of these pics...more to come

History:
Bought this car in March 2011. Bouncy as ****. Overheating. But pretty clean body. I blew the engine around end of April lol trying to get to wok asap. Lets say i was able to walk back home and miss work lol. I lost the title moving to my girlfriends apartment (wife now) and it wasnt even under the previous owners name. Nor the three people before him -___- so till this day, its still untitled lol. I deployed in July, and while deployed, checked Craigslist everyday until i came across a Poor-mans Type R. The guy told me it was a legit and real Type R swap. It was bullshit...and now its a Mystery Motor (as i call it) I'm on my way home and after talking to a few enthusiasts, i decided to mildly rebuild it so I KNOW whats in my car. Pics are from day 1 all the way to current day.

Day 1

So there it is...Hoping to make around 180-220 hp...any more recommendations or comments? All feedback is appreciated. Before people say it, i know its a piece of **** honda.

 

So....all of that and still untitled?

You sir, have your priorities in order.

 

ha ha yeah still untitled. my wife bugs me about it saying "why are you spending money on all this and you cant even drive it down the street?"

 

I'm with the wife on this one. Car has potential though.

 

its an si so i really didnt want to let it go down the drain. its rare to find them in El Paso this clean. and i still got more work to do.

 

I like the work so far. I think i would have done something about that engine bay while your were doing the swap though. Nice work though.

 

well since ima pull the motor out to rebuild it with the high compression pistons, im thinking of painting it white. im sure itll look decent no? any recommendations...wheels....interior? ex...

 

It's your car dude so however you want the engine bay it's all you but i think it looks best when it matches the exterior. What wheels do you have on it currently? If you want to change them out sell them to me they look awesome on there xD.

 

theyre DR44s...i dont want them...brand new actually less than 30 miles on them and the tires are toyo 195/50/15 i think. i gotta check the exact...i might post the wheels and the internals of this engine here. im completely rebuilding it so rods, pistons, valves, everyhting internal basically is gonna be for sale used.

 

 

 

washed and waxed, new bike rack but might end up selling it

painted the inside of the fenders blue to match so no more yellow. also painted the tranny and block to match. just little touch ups here and there to make it presentable

 

straighten out the light a lil and now just need my rad stay.

 

hella jdm

 

i ordered some xxrs 531's. the ccw reps. i'd have to be deployed again to have money for ccws. so hopefully they arrive this month

 

Very nice car sir!

was nice before. now... not so much.


and unregistered? screams stolen.

 

No not unregistered faget. In case youve never had to deal with a deployment youd understand that papers get lost when moving cities and moving out of the country. I just settle things with the state of New Mexico and now have my plates. And i love it the way it is now. You didnt build it nor put up with the number of electrical and mechanical problems its given me the past two years ive had this. Thank you very much for your bump though. I know over 1200 people who give me props for what its come so far.

 

So you're saying it was nicer, when it had the single slammer, and yellow paint job? Huh....

Think it looks better now than ever. Just finish the bay and it'll be a quality build. Nice arc intake too btw. Keep it up. Let the haters hate.

 

that yellow paint FYI had fucken glitter. previous owner was a chick. The green bay is glittered too. Think i wanna roll around like that? lol thanks for the compliments. Whether their good or bad, doesnt matter. End of the day, its in my garage, and keys are in my nightstand. Really looking forward to getting rid of the BWR stuff and start loading this with skunk 2 and hoping to get certified. Or spoon the **** outta this
