post a pic of you! yaay

horrible rims on the ek.

You don't like my watanabe rims?

Actaully that picture is a few months old, I have 13's on it now... and no lip, looking for something different, maybe SIR or CTR lip.



Here is a shot of the interior


The engine is a sohc... and I love it.
Looks kind of like a sleaper and honestly, there's not a single original part left under the hood.
With the money I put in the engine, I could... and probably should have swaped it.
Thing is though, I honestly don't see a point in swapping it. Price of a civic + a legit GSR swap = more than a whole GSR. Might as well buy a teggy if you want that engine.
The only swap that actually temps me is a b20z witha b16 trans.


As for the protege, so far I don't have many plans for it. It needs new doors on the passenger side (the previous owner got hit on the side).
Asside from that, I'm putting some five spoke 14's on it, clear 323 front turnsignals, and maybe a set of mazdaspeed lowering springs, nothing too fance. It's pretty much a base model 1.6 with a 5spd. I don't want to do much to it because I commute to Chicago every day, and everything even remotely nice gets stolen overthere... which is why I can't even drive my civic there

Hondas are stolen like candy. Its like thieves have a master key to them all. It takes like 7 seconds to get in, start it, and be gone.

I now, it's sad.

I have a pager alarm on it with a back up battery, no keyholes in the door doors, kill switches, and I still don't dare to park it downtown.

Just put the 14's on the protege...



I have kind of mixed feelings about these wheels.
I don't hate them nor love them... I guess they're better than steelies, for now.

[Powar]

You don't like my watanabe rims?

No, not at all. I hate them. They're junk. You should send them to me so I can dispose of them properly.

They'd look great on the Miata.

Also... Hot girlfriend.

Thanks, I love her very much.

long post about hondas

you could alwasy do an h22a swap:D. Those are fairly cheap and the mount kits arent horribly expensive.

I had a b18 in my eg and if I'd of kept it long enough for that one to blow I would of gone with the h22

H22's are fairly cheep, and have nice power, but it's kind of a hasle.
It requires hybrid axles, cable shifter instead of the rods and so on, not to mention it's very heavy. And once again, buying a prelude would be cheaper. Almost the same size as a civic and has the engin already in it, not to mention other goodies, like deeper sets, 4 wheel disc brakes, and nicer suspension setup.
I actually came across a complete K20a3 swap for $800, almost got it too, till I saw how much the mounts and axles were going to be... not worth it.
The only reason B20z tempted me is because it's a CRV engine with plenty of torque, and its a direct bolt in in an EK, even the stock mounts fit.

I'm gonna go work on the protege a little bit. My upper radiator brackets are rusted pretty bad, so I'm gonna try the distilled water, baking soda and trickle charger trick to get the rust off.

Nice saab, powar, espececially the '69. Would be a nice weekend cruicer.
