Well basically.. here is the story, if you dont want to read the story scroll down to the start of the pictures, but im gunna type this up anyways.
So, this is going to be my second project car, I started out with a 92 hatch, but I went through a bunch of things recently which made me scrap that project and go with something that will be less drastic, and cheaper. Basically, my rsx type s got stolen from me while it was parked outside my apartment at my school. I already didnt have very much money at the time, and I didnt have full coverage on that car so i got absolutely nothing back from insurance. I got it back and it had everything gone including the seats and my hockey equipment i had in the trunk. I sold it when i got it back, thats when i decided i was way to deep into the hatch and couldnt ever see myself finishing, or having the money to finish it. So I put it up for sale. Then, of course right at the worst possible time, the perfect deal comes along for a pretty nice em1. It was also recovered but didnt have very much taken from it (guage cluster, climate control, and the head off of the b16). He wanted 700 for it, so i rushed and got the money and bought it from him before he noticed how insane of a deal that was. Then took the rest of the block he had and put it with my b16 head i had and sold my hatch and motor for 1300. which leaves me where i am now.
So here are some pics I took today.
Some newly bought parts:
And last but not least..
Its pretty hard to make progress without very much money, and living an hour away from the car because Im in college.. I plan on doing most of the work to get it running this summer, I just wanted to start this thread up cuz I was just taken pics today..
