i agree... but i wouldnt do it to an s2k either... hes replacing parts that don't necessarily need replacing, its a bit overboard... why not just go out and buy one in better condition. that's what i am wondering about

Some people just want a project to do, I think the EG is one of my favorite cars ever regardless of how cheap it is or slow or whatever other excuse someone can come up with. He's just super anal about doing it right, I'd rather see this than 75% of the half ass job done builds people do and post about.

To those who are asking WHY? It's a simple answer: He enjoys it.

He obviously has a passion for it. Is that not a good enough reason? I am amazed by his dedication and attention to detail. Phenomenal!

If it was an s2k people would be saying the same thing. Why its only an s2k.
No. RWD, front midship, proper chasis, etc. It's not "just an S2K". It's one of the greatest sportscars ever built.

That project has to cost about a 100 grand!!!
But to put that money into a civic is stupid. Nice build though!
I would have just bought an EVO and sent it to AMS .

Maybe it's just a little premature to fathom dedicating all that time and money on a car like that. Maybe thirty years from now a project like that would be widely accepted or better understood.

I can only wish I had the time and resources to indulge in such a project myself.

umm yeah this kid is doing it by himself.

This kid is doing everything by him self not paying money to AMS or someone else to build your car. thats the easy way out. Also if someone else is building it so it. it dosnt come out the way they want.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. MAD SKILLS
