it all started with my Ek3 had the car for a year and ahalf , and enjoyed every single min of it apart from the night i sold it to pursue drifting. was the worst night of my life! the second i saw the buyer drive off i knew id made amistake.
so after owning a few differnt rwd machines (bmw e36 atm....HATE IT!!!!) iv decided to come back to honda

found this eg on ebay, went to bid and someone had already pressed buy it now

emailed he bloke and said if they let him down to let me know....they did, luckly for me.
went 187miles to go see it, got there good condition other than the arches which i already knew about.
went to start it and fuel pump wouldnt prime...gutted. The bloke kept saying he was going to scrap the car and saying sorry to waste my time but i realy didnt want it to be crushed, ended up being the imob wires. sorted it out and meeting the bloke today at 4:30 to pick it up.
anyway enough of the essay

Th reason it was going cheap

not planing on selling/getting rid of this for along time.

The culprit

only went to pick up some driveshafts originaly :roll:
havent got any pics yet but ive striped it down, looks like it may have been run low on oil in the past as the main bearings look alittle worn lol
started tearing it apart at 7:30 tonite and its now pretty much bare and painted.
going to rebuild the head and replace the bearing in the bottom end.
with afew essencials such as acl headbolts, ported oil pump ect ect

Soo updates-

after the nobber whop did the arch first time round i decided to do it properly.
so took the arch off that he had done to find he had scratched "honda shit" and "please scrap me" behind it which had started to go rusty aswell :evil:

heres some of our progress-

when we where welding the arch on the window shatterd

you can see it in the first pic

also finnishd off my wheels which are now for sale -

heres the finnishd produce (i know its crying out to be SLAAAMED which is my next target)
pics dont do the wheels justice (sorry for realy bad pics will get better ones, waiting to borrow a decent camra)

also fitted my tegiwa shifter

so glad its all sorted now im realy happy with how it turned out

So you'll be aiming for about 10psi on the engine build then, dont waste your time on the Log mani they shite, get Ricky to make you a 1/2 ram manifold like i have on mine.

Piston and rods will have to be America as they hard to get hold of in the UK

Ohh and there a lad on a forum i'm on selling a Skunk2 inlet & TB with AEM fuel for an ESI
