to fix this you need some basic tools and a little mechanical know how
grinder
welder
hammer
a little scrap steal
cut off wheel would be nice but can do with out

Haha I think I like sinister's idea better. My dad has a welder, so I guess next time I'm around his town we'll get it done. Going to block off the antenna, rear sprayer, and rear wiper as well for the hell of it.

Burnt a z6 map to the chipped ecu, runs a lot better. Just need to wire up vtec and setup dizzy timing I guess. Then for boost...and tuning

Pretty clean, good buy. Got some work to do, but nice find

Dr.Boost

That would sell in an afternoon out here for that price. Add a turbo and it would sell for around $75k. :1

Doesn't look too bad. I'm hoping it was boosted at one time or another if it has a boost guage?

Well the boost and afr gauge are both operational, it has 2.5" full turbo exhaust. Had a chipped ecu (I should have downloaded the map before burning a new one), there were spots cut in the lower crossmember, ac was removed, and when the previous owner got the car he said the engine was wore out. I'm pretty sure it was boosted.

The guy had a virgin p28 in the car (he says) but it was running horrible compared to the chipped p28 I put in there with a stock z6 map. Very boggy and slow, ran very rich, no power at all. Now it runs great and only need to hook up vtak. It's smoking white, which is probably the headgasket. Can't a bad map burn out the headgasket? Under what conditions?

Dr.Boost

If it was boosted with a stock P28 I'm sure it has some problems. :P My guess is even if he did have some sort of chipped ECU or something the head gasket is blown. It's a Honda. :P

nice

Jorsher

I think it was boosted with the chipped p28, and when the guy I bought it from bought it and changed out the y8 for a z6 block, he put the virgin p28 in it...which you can't use because the timing is off for the y8 head. I figure that's what fucked the gasket up (if it is fucked up).

Oh yeah, just bought SinisterCRX's turbo setup, so expect some boost in the near future.

I don't know if someone posted already, but the gap between the shift console and the armrest is because.. well the armrest is out of a civic or integra

WTF

one time i pulled my front end out after i crashed into a tree using a tow rope to a sewer grate

(hooked low so it would rip the grate through my face)
