Bought this 98 EK a few months ago, after gas prices went throught the roof, cost to much to drive my Jeep. Gas bill went from 75/week with the Jeep to 23/week with the Honda. Plus you can only drive over so much s**t!

,

The first thing I did was to get it to sit on the ground. I installed a set of Skunk2 coil overs and set of Skunk2 lower control arms. The ride was totally different going from a Jeep with 3" of lift with 31's to a Honda with 2" drop on 14's.

,

Shortly after I lowered it, my muffler fell off while going down the high way. Made a hell of alot of sparks. When I bought the car, I knew that it had some body damage, nothing major, just door dings and a caved in drive side door. So it was off to the body shop. Car will be two toned, silver over black.

I hate block sanding. Future things to come will be an LS with a turbo and a five speed swap. Hope to have the motor in some time late summer early fall. I will post pictures of the paint when I am done.
