CHILD'S *EK* ... finally i have an EK

[fresh.gen]

im a little late replying, but i agree with the 0 toe alignment. toe in, even a little bit puits unecessary strain on suspension/tires under different loads. These loads can come from track useage (extreme), and daily driven use ('normal'). setting the toe out/in promotes unneeded traits for a car thats going to be daily'd. Im sure Child has a suspension setup that he can customize when a track day arises anyways.

^yeah um... We already went over all that, and then some...

Dood! Awesome video man! Your boy's teg is rediculously clean! I bet you can't wait to prowl the streets with that k under the hood, good job editing too, I enjoyed that

Thanks a lot man! Yeah, i kept telling him that his ride makes me anxious to finish mine. Plus he wants to see how mine stacks up versus his. He has the older tsx k24a2 and few parts here and there that aren't as aggressive as mine. So we'll see. Wish i had the cash to just do it all right now! haha

^no kidding, after watching it Ive been on hybrid racing and k20a.org playing with the idea of parking mine and getting a 2nd car to daily, then waiting to tear down my hatch a d start from scratch! That would take forever though :0

Forever has only been a year and a half for me so far lol. It's not so bad. Honestly, most just get caught up with trying to go overboard with everything, somewhat like myself and K-N-2-EK. There's soo many things you don't "need" but you end up telling yourself, "why not" since it may be awhile before it's complete.

 

[96romaCX]

That's awesome^

Yeah I feel that, deffinately doing it right. I just don't really have the funds, or else I'd have done just a b16 swap already lol. I have to live vicariously through your clubcivic forum hahaha

 

[ReedMann]

Well done video. That is a super clean teg

 

[K-N-2-EK]

That's the sad truth! Now on the other hand what's another $200 when youve spent what we have already lol!

So I was just thinking today.. What do you have planned after this car is "done"?

I haven't seen any other heavily modified cars in your garage or anything, so do you plan on just stopping until you decide to build something else down the road? Or do you plan on starting another build and keeping this car?

Just curious.

Im a long way from finishing what I have planned, but I just want to get an early 90's nsx.
