Default Some build pics!

I bought the shell for 600$ from the woods of the country in Virginia. I decided I was going to swap an sohc in it and make a aggressive looking daily driver. I will update little things here and there, just wanted a place to keep pictures of it. Thanks guys.

The most updated. I installed my Seeker V2 wing and tilted it with the Alex brackets, put new 205 neogens on the 949's and tinted the windows 20%.


The day I got it-








Started assembling it -

I certainly thought so. I was about to spend $1,000 on a busted coupe. This one was a guy who messaged me off of a Honda Fanpage on Facebook. He left the Enkies on it (sold for $250 the next day), like new pwjdm fenders, GC/KYB suspension (sold for 300$), GSR seats and some ebay steering wheel (sold both combined for 200$) and also had full camber kits, Yonoka exhaust system, wire tuck already done and from what I have examined, appears to be done well. So now I am dailying it in the condition you see in the last two pictures. I plan to swap my H22 swap into it this weekend.

Thanks bro! I am torn, a friend is selling a turnkey H22 swap for 1,000$ with a PLM header, DSS axles, Hasport mounts, LSD trans, ACT clutch and lots of other parts. I was going to buy it and swap this. However I am going to finish my racecar I think.

Your other hatch looks pretty sharp too. A guy I work with has a friend with a hatchback with a k24 in it that's for sale. I was going to look at it, but no heater or a/c isn't going to work for me for a daily driver.

Not bad man, that was my daily for a long time. Comfortable and torquey, especially if you have the b16 transmission still.

It still has the B16 transmission. This is my first Honda so I'm getting used to turning 4 grand at 70 on the highway. The car is lowered, but it doesn't ride too bad.
