Nice, wheels, and scrape the visor off! No hellaflush pleez! lol
its probably gonna get some BBS LMs and lowered to a nice drivable setting. other than that redo the painted red interior with OEM and carbon fiber parts HID's and Drive the mofo. may boost later.
You got that for a steal. This kid in my class had a 5G too.. I think an '01

im aware i got a steal. guys a friend of mine, ive worked on his car several times. he just wanted the money back outa the 5-speed trans he just put in it. he was also in love with the white SH i had a couple years ago.
BBS LMs on that? :suspect: Nice ride, but I'd never put wheels worth as much as the car on a total beater :p
used or knock offs lol if i said "no name brand" no one would know what i was talking about loli just used brand name equivalent as reference.Quote:

I do despise stickers though.... Even if it's football.
Make sure you burn that visor decal when you scrape it off... :suspect:

I scraped it off already. I basically have to completely redo the interior because it was painted red. FAIL.
You wouldn't believe how many cars in the junkyard had painted interiors. Soooo foul, lol
ordered a carbon fiber interior kit from egay. :P

painted the grill over the weekend, and added a authentic mugen shifter today to get rid of the "kart boy" shifter it had lol. removed all the seats and shampoo'd them, and the carpet and snapped some quick pics with the cell phone.

It's cleaning up nicely. I saw a Corolla with the grille painted red and thought of your 'lude :p
nice lol my fog lights should be in soon to completely rid the front of red.
That looks a lot better already.. Nice work
thanks man. i appreciate it. more to come!
I would have loved to pick one of those up for a beater. I couldnt even find the gen before that one less than $3,000. Looks decent minus the ricey red.
I got lucky. I bought this off of a guy who I helped rebuild this car for him. When I had my white prelude I had a parts car that I sold this guy the door off of and side skirts. I ended up turning wrenches for him for a while then got busy. The reason he sold it? He didn't know how to replace a crank sensor. He GAVE me a OEM crank sensor with the car, so I when ahead and did a timing belt job with it. I also replaced a wheel bearing. But after purchase of the car, wheel bearing and tax and transfer I have 1876.32 invested.

Looks good at that height. Any other fun mods coming?
Front lip, smooth sideskirts, rear lip and maybe a 53 trim turbo at like 5 psi.
