How is it over there right now? Nice looking car by the way. Any plans?
where in oki are you
ok just seeing which base you were on if you wanted a hand one day are something
the big drag though is not being able to bring them back stateside when you PCS/ETS One reason I never got into the whole BMW/Mercedes thing when I was in Germany.
you could turbo the d-series that is in there, and make 200whp easily. not to mention, you could see 40-50mpg. theres a guy on honda-tech that did a build in a coupe and was getting something like 50mpg on the freeway. those VTEC-E engines are perfect for the task youre presenting.
im working on that actually. im going to Torii this week and imma see if there is a way to bring the shell back to the US in my houseing goods. this car weighs about 2300lbs with motor and everything maybe if i was to say drop the engine and the windows and what not and take the doors off it and send it back that way. like a rolling shell. then say its a kit car.
If you dismantle it you might be able to get all the pieces back, but you will never be able to legally register it.
I wouldn't take it up too high in rpms regularly. You're just asking for a dropped valve or something.this car has a D15B 3 Stage VTEC. with CVT, i love the CVT because once it has reached 7000 rpm it never has to shift and it just climbs the speedometer. but other then the normal bolt ons I/E/H what else can i do? turbo isnt what i want with this.
Because that's a federal offence.why legally register it? just buy a junked hatch and swap out the vin plates. and rebuild it at home.
