just a honda

[ShawnBoyMoody]

As always Im impressed with the build. Attention to detail is amazing. You must have $50,000 in oem parts in this thing. Are you keeping track of what youve spent so far?

otherwise a very clean tuck.

also not really feeling the gold booster and mount, but i guess its not tooo bad.

Check out redline auto. They make hood struts and mounts that look amazing. Got em on the TBSS and love em.

I have another list with prices when i did stuff to the car before i tore it down. all in all between buying the car, the first go around and this i've dropped about 28k in this car. all in a honda rofllll

[nordic97mist]

got some more work done

fuse box in the glove box!


front bumper and what not on!


testing the power right now. headlights and dash all work. but when i turn the key i dont hear the fuel pump priming. there's no gas in the tank if that would cause that. any suggestions how to check stuff?

[94FormulaBird]

wow...i just read from page one and this build is pretty impressive considering i used to think of ur first post http://www.fastgm.com/phpBB2/viewtop...er=asc&start=0 when i saw ur screen name...

[nordic97mist]

yeahh thats me lol. cant believe thats been 4 yrs ago

[nordic97mist]

header came in. obx. yeah yeah i know its cheap. but dont wanna tear up a good one for now with the stance. flame all you want

[PapaBear]

The TBSS guys are really praising the OBX headers nowadays. Good stainless for a good price. Car looks good man, keep it up.

[03SVTCOBRA]

Ive found alot of times the cheap ones work better than higher priced ones. Not always the case but sometimes exhaust isnt always you get what you pay for.

[///Mcompact]

I agree. Megan O2 housings on the evos compete with anything on the market at 50% of the cost. Even the bigger evo shops gave up trying to compete with it and now just sell ported-out, or ceramic coated Megans.

You have a very impressive build. I think it was posted earlier, but damn...that engine bay is only going to look that good for a couple of months after you start driving it. Maybe you can keep the miles down and keep it clean, but a guy like me can't. I have to drive the shit out of what I work on (just like a read/creased all of my favorite comic books).

Hopefully you keep it a garage/show queen and not a DD, because that would be a waste of all of your effort.

Again, very nice build and I hope that, in the end, it is everything you wanted it to be. It's no LS1 (gods cack, apparently), but it's alright with me.

[nordic97mist]

yeahh i agree for the most part. this header is pretty much just an oem header but better looking. the part about being flamed for it was b/c of the honda forums. we all know how they can be lol.

the car will prolly be my DD. i really only drive to and from work though. most it'll see at one time is going to bigger meets like import alliance in GA and TN. im gonna try to keep it clean and what not lol

engine bay is done as far as visible things

[cfcobalt]

just read through all 11 pages....congrats on an exceptionally clean build!

[CINDERBLOCK]

OBX headers are popular with the Lightning guys also. Keep up the good work and keep the pics coming!

[LXtasy]

obx headers are popular with the silveraldo guys also. But I think that is because we are cheap ass's

True story.

[Illusions]

I would print out all your pics and place them in a book. This is a very impressive build you have. When people look at it in the shows you can show them the book to prove its "built not bought" and it's built right. no hack job like some you see at the import shows. congrats!

[nordic97mist]

thats a pretty good idea. one day i'll work on putting all the pics i have onto a disc and getting them printed. so far theres just under 300 lol. i appreciate it man

got the lip pieces from paint!







paint was done by southern imports off cross county. they did a great job!

[Derek]

Looks like we might have another magazine car in our midst

[ForceFed4g63]

Everything looks good but the wheels don't really work in my mind. But as long as you like them that's all that matters!
