home made cold air intake.
after market speakers all around
ex stock cd player

im probably forgetting a few other things, but ill post up if i remember.
the good: awesome gas mileage( mid to low 30’s depending), ice cold ac,minimal rust for a wny 1996 honda,doesnt leak or burn a drop of anything
The bad: When the motor was swapped the gas tank was not and it throws a code, some dents scratches and dings, front and rear bumpers are not painted, little bit of rust starting on the drivers side quarter panel, and its a little bouncy over bumps because of the shitty coilovers.
sorry for the night pictures with the old wheels.Ill try to get some newer ones up.
i did all the work to the car. i did the motor swap, with the TB an WP. its got a nice stock clutch and runs real smooth.
this is the solution to the inspection issue http://technet.ff-squad.com/code91.htm
when i did the swap, i didnt even think about the FTPS, and i never got to fix the problem before mike traded cars with me.
this car would benefit ALOT from a real header, and an EX style, under-car catalytic converter. if anyone has questions about the car that mike cant answer, feel free to PM me.
if you read it says im not really looking to sell it, id rather trade it and the inspection issue is not a big deal.Ill prob fix it before i even do anything with this car.
the mileage on the body is unknown because the cluster is swapped. My guess is not too much because there is minimal rust and the underbody is super clean and undercoated.
Thanks brett,I forgot to add this car was owned last by him, and has been well maintained.
pm me a price, i dont have a car to trade so lmk what your looking for and well go from there.
also any paper for the swap, there been alot of random checks on honda latly
let me think of a price and ill pm you when i do. I dont have paper work from the swap.But i know the motor and where it came from. Brett bought it from elmysterioso and then swapped it in. Its a clean legit low mileage swap.
i love the hids in my car, but since the head lights are not projectors they dont have a legitimate cut off. If i keep the car i plan on doing a retro fit. 6k or lower is the best for visability id say. Any higher and they are too colorful and obnoxious.
believe me i know, ive been blinded by many ricers in their golfs around with here non projector head lights.I just dont have the cash right now to do it because im going on vacation at the end of the month.
