    Just when I start thinking it's time to maybe tone down the modding on my car and maybe part it out to save money, I see something like this!

    I have a rejuvenated excitement about being able to do something like this with my car when I graduate from college :banana:

    Good call on getting rid of the Honda. Engine building is pretty impressive. Are you doing this alone? Either way good job, keep us updated.

    He had to sell the car, but I believe it was pretty much finished. Too bad, because he never really got to enjoy the car either.

    Congrats on the purchase!

    You go to southern poly right? I think i've seen the car there a few times

    Yeah I go to SOPO. Do you go there?

    Update on the car for those who care:
    When I got it there was an oil leak from all hell, the cv boot was busted, exhaust leak, and vacuum leak.
    Since then I have found all the problems and fixed them and have some other plans for the near future. VF30 or 22 is in sight.

    Nah I was there oneday picking up a part from a fellow board member and saw the car there. I had talked to the previous owner and he said it belonged to another now.
