Game on.

Yea I wish my Coils were not on such a far away back order :x

I forgot some things. I have a 98 rear bumper and I just bought some fogs like hamefacekilla. But I also bought yellow tint for them. Pics when I get em. Tuesday I plan to put on the brakes. We own a paint gun and all the jazzy stuff to paint with so I just need the weather to get nicer so I can Prep the bumper for paint. No garage FTL so hard

You're going to love the Omni-Power coilovers. 220whp goal huh? That's going to be a lot of money and work. Good luck.

 

[Mikeb353]

Yeah! I agree with JDMxDB8 you're going to need alot of money and bigger displacement, but in the long run it will be all worth it... I know my build is already costing over 51/2 k on parts machine shop etc. I learned my lesson with all that money i could easily gotten a k20 swap but its my first build so im enjoying it. but again man best of luck to you keep us updated

 

[rob1570]

yea 220whp, stroker anyone? lol

 

[Campanelli]

yea 220whp, stroker anyone? lol

Edit well now that I think about it 220 is alot, haha

How much did you spend on parts?
Maybe I will just take a loan and K swap it in 1 or 2 years, I don't know though. K swap would be alot cooler, especially in South Dakota. Where nothing really cool happens with Hondas anymore.

Here are some pictures(the effects are from being bored with myspace), no single pictures until I lower it.

Hey guys! My first post!

love your teg, looks like an exciting build!

I noticed in your 2nd picture, the mudguard underneath your car is falling apart cuz its missing a clip. I had that problem too and quickly fixed it with proper clips from a Honda Dealership. Only two screws/clips? for $3. It seems like your missing one on the right-side.

Good luck with it!

 

[Campanelli]

Its falling apart cause I lost control and drove into a ditch and it cut it in half lol

 

[Siturcel]

Damn bro, that really sucks... luckily it didn't get any worse then that right? Hey yo, so you have any plans for the appearance of your teg?
