And what's the point of a new page without pics?

Two small updates.

Ended up selling my TSX and picked up a new Ram during ram truck month for nearly 25k off MSRP. Pretty stoked about it as I've always loved trucks and the idea of being able to go anywhere. First thing I did was ditch the OEM 17's for some Rebel wheels with Toyo Open Country AT2 tires. Next up is to level it and replace the chrome pieces with body colour matched pieces.




I also ended up buying a spare wingless trunk from Jae2k on here since I've been digging the wingless look lately. Huge shoutout to Jael for literally losing his mind to pack and ship the trunk. Toying with the idea of putting a GT wing on the trunk I have, though. I've always lowkey loved the look of a GT wing on our cars. Might have to try and hunt down a J's or Voltex Type 1 locally.

We all know what a trunk looks like, but if you don't.

If you don't have a problem chopping up your car then I would do it. Probably one of my favourite mods to this day, even tho it's not really a "mod". Lol. And thanks, Ricky!

Every time an S2000 gets 17 x 9 +47 CE28Ns installed Honda gets closer to making new sports cars again. This is a non-disputable fact. The data all checks out.

Looks wonderful!

As much as I wanted 17x10 +45 - the x9.5 +47 is just as good.

Thanks Andrew!

As you wish.

So since the S2000 is basically at my personal version of "the perfect S2000" I decided to get another project car (no the S2000 isn't going anywhere) and build something that I've always wanted to do since I got into Honda's. I've owned 21 Honda's - basically everything that they made in the 90's from EG, EK to all the Integra's (ie: GSR, Type-R, RS) and most of them were all either mild builds or flipped for profit. But the one thing I've always wanted to do and never had the chance to do until now is build a K-swap EG hatch. I would look here and there on the classifieds locally to try and find one, but living out here where I am means rusted shitboxes, so I gave up. One of my close friends however owns 2 mint white EG's hatches and had the second one on the back burner due to kids, work, life so I said I'd take it off his hands. What I bought is basically just a shell with a mildly built K20a2 dropped in. That's it. No harness, fuel supply, shift mechanism, driveline, nothing, it's just a motor plopped in. So enough talking, here's the car.
