> [@ubengineering](#): > > pretty sweet didnt even know they made these me either until I found this one. I just took it out for about 45 mins to an empty parking lot for some “spirited” driving. Love the handling and i didn’t miss the power steering at all. The struts on the car look new and it felt really solid for being at stock ride height. It does need a rear main seal but my wife is nice enough to take it to my mechanic while I’m gone at AIT and get it patched up. Until I leave I’ll just enjoy the car and keep an eye on the oil. I did notice a leak where the valve cover meets the head. That’ll be an easy fix and it will give me a chance to re-paint the valve cover to my liking. Here’s its specs **ENGINE** JDM DOHC ZC Bored 0.5mm over NPR P29 Pistons ARP Rod bolts new honda head bolts fresh valves head skimmed Cometic Head gasket Crank polished King rod and crank bearings AC removed Power steering removed custom built 4-2-1 header JDM ECU (so it can be tuned for a turbo) 2.5" exhaust piping Honda CRX SI muffler **DRIVETRAIN** factory 6 speed manual AWD **SUSPENSION** new (looking) OEM Acura DC rear shocks/springs new (looking) OEM Acura DA front shocks/springs **INTERIOR/EXTERIOR** Honda EK armrest Blaupunkt head unit 6-1/2" front 3 way speakers 6x9 rear 3 way speakers custom built roof rack and cross-bars more pics just for fun: I’m awaiting a bunch of parts in the mail.

Saw this on Craigslist a while back. Always wanted one of these. These cars are awesome. They’re so ugly and were so purpose built ---

This is my other toy. '08 Yamaha FZ-6 (on the left) It looks a little different now I removed the stickers from the fairing, painted the radiator shroud black, and its got red rear sets. ![https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/1978_1111420983301_1160171357_30342710_2772123_n.jpg](https://fbcdn-sphotos-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/1978_1111420983301_1160171357_30342710_2772123_n.jpg) ---

i wouldnt throw any boost at those p29’s esp with stock head bolts, get your self another d block and throw some eagles and forged slugs or vitaras if you wanna stay within a budget. i had a stock block z6 with arp’s that lasted quite some time on boost. ive always wanted one of these and i could never find a 4wd one let alone a manual 4wd model. dont let it rust away.
