oh and the car has 1 problem...previous owner said the starter was fucked but its worked everytime for me...the battery(which looks to be only a couple mnths old) will not hold a charge...i dont know if the alt. is shot or if its the battery..
but i have n idea that it might be due to the VC leaking..and the oil getting on the starter and draining the battery..the reason i think this is because my racecar had the same problem...i cleaned up the oil..and fixed the leak and it was fine after that..
so im going to clean it up and hopefully all is well
 
2 questions

1) do you have a license
2) are any of your cars driveable?

I have seen you trade 4 or 5 cars. why don't you just build 1 good one and roll with it for a while?
 
That quarterpanel looks hideous!

Good luck with that thing, hope you didn't get hosed.
yea the paint is bad..mostly the clear coat is peeling off...

no license and yes the cars are driveable...i cant seem to find the car i want..im kinda like B
 
good find. except for the rust...... everything else looks good. you know i was thinking to myself...... everyone knows how jay leno is a car collector....mostly exotic cars and such. if i where in that possition i would have to add some hondas all oem of variouse years and makes to the stable........
 
not really like B, lol. his are all $25k+, drivable, and he keeps them more than a year.

no offense, but you just keep flipping garbage. you should just liquidate everything. cars, parts, shells, engines etc. get like $2500-$3500 saved up and just buy a b16 crx. they are pretty easy to find.
 
nah i hate b16's lol..
im staying sohc.if i swap to anything it be and ls or type-r..
gsr and b16 are my rivals
nd i dont rlly care..im happy wit me cheapo cars..
 
So you like the non-vtec underpowered LS, and the exorbitantly expensive top-end ITR...

And you hate the readily available, reasonably priced b16 and gsr...

I would still like to have a basic EG Si hatch with a GSR. Just the right amount of motor to make a little stockish fun runner.

Sorry but I don't see you ever having the money for anything other than sohc engines if you keep up this cycle of trading crap for crap lol.
 
an eg with gsr and i/h/e is probably my favorite honda. (aside from the obvious nsx, etc)

sometimes you just have to overlook a "favorite car" and see what is reasonable.
 
what do you mean by i wont have the money for anything other than sohc??
maybe you didnt see my old ls swapped crx that i bought everything for???
im staying sohc because its differant in my area and i have a point to prove to some ppl..
i dont like gsr because that is the motor damn near everyone uses here..and i dont like b16 because i never have..b16 tranny and b16 head are all thats good for me..
but anyway i posted the car so ppl could see progress.not for shit talking..so back on topic
 
Sorry if it seemed like I was just busting your balls. Obviously you'll do whatever you want with the car, so just forget I said anything.
 
sorry dude, we aren't trying to talk shit. we are old and experienced with hondas. just trying to help you out with some ideas. maybe you go and build your dream car, maybe you like our ideas and go that route.

we aren't going to tell you something to throw you off track, we just speak from a lot of experience.
 
nah its cool...i understand..
i know what im doing with the car..i know its not the best to start off with..but this is my passion..i love taking pieces of shit and fixing them..
my rex was bad..my ef hatch was even worse..chris saw it while it was under constructuion and it looked 100% better when he saw it than when i got it..and it still looked bad
 
Just make sure you fix the rust, and fix it properly, if this is a long-term car. That's the only thing I'm a hardass about, is rust.
 
def. im going to be buying the replacement panels off ebay...$95 shipped for both..not bad at all...
i plan on having this car for awhile..when i got rid of my last rex i missed it..now that i got the chance to have another i took it and im def. happy with this car..even through how much work it needs..
ill def. keep progress posted..
 
gl wit the car, if i were you honstly.. id keep the sohc do a mild buildand boost it, then paint it flat black.. itd look badass
 
word..i am going to build the piss out of a spare..and boost it..and the car is goin gloss black..
 
no license and yes the cars are driveable...i cant seem to find the car i want..im kinda like B

I don't understand how you even get to own cars without a license. Do you just have your parents title them or what? Whenever I've bought a car I had to show my license when I go to the DMV to turn the old title in and apply for a new one...
