I was thinking bout bringing a supra or skyline over so I got on forums.
Read stories of guys spending 20g+ just to bring em over here and to pass emission test .
One horror story I came accross was about a guy who spent 30g and didn't pass emissions. His skyline got impounded and crushed.

Thats nuts.

There's a lot of Security info on Honda-Tech and Cause for Alarm. When I was doing research on getting a Honda I was considering getting kill switches, stealth alarm (with 2 piezo sirens, tilt sensor, glass break sensor, and back-up battery), Escort Entourage GPS tracker, TireLock wheel lock (atleast 2 with 1 covering the lug nuts), removable steering wheel, and clutch lock. If you're planning on leaving it in a garage I've heard of people leaving a baby monitor in there. If you're leaving it in a driveway you can get a Driveway Patrol Sensor and Receiver Kit, it has a motion sensor and chimes when someone or a tow-truck comes into your driveway.

Some good advice, I only got a kill switch on my integra.

It's crazy all the lengths you have to go to just to make sure your car sleeps well at night. That's part of the reason I ended up selling my teg. If I couldn't get into the driveway at night after coming back from the runs or chilling at a shorty's crib there's no way I'd be able to sleep well. Laying on my living room couch and looking through the window every time I heard a car with an exhaust coming down my block. After a while it was just too much. I'm in VA now so I don't know how the thieves get down out here that remains to be seen.

I wonder what it cost to convert the engine into the eg.
I wanna say atleast 10k plus the motor.

 

[josebronx]

yep f20 off a sk2 meaning rwd.
axle idk anyone?
Im shocked because tons of money went into that car.
Im guessing the owner easily spent around 20-25k doing that @$@.

 

[triple5sole]

thx for the advice rican and Premeone . damn these videos just make me want a hatch even more.

and very nice teg rican how many pounds are u running on it?

so lets say i get a hatch with a GSR swap and its not bar'd. i can just take it to the state referee ( theres one at my school ) and just get the inspection and get it bar'd there. Is that correct?

 

[keepzdasneakz]

Well if you're in cali, you're *@!# out of luck. I don't think you can get it bar'd anymore.

 

[dam itz lou]

What u guys think ?

2000 honda civic with a little less then 110k on it for $3200 ? Interior is mint, the paint is nice with a couple scratches here and there but nothing crazy but it needs struts in the back. Runs and sounds great.

 

[dam itz lou]

 

[nyrican23]

Triple5- No problem. I'm running 8 psi

Lou- That price seems good. It's hard to find a stock honda now. Perfect for a swap or any mods you wanna do. I say go for it.
