I dont no if your trying to be funny about rusting the whole car but that has been done before there are some on google like that. But i have made my mind up and the hood is getting rusted we will see what you guys think when its done.
Yeah, I was just jokin. As I said, haven't seen that before. Understand the whole beat up thing. I've had my car primered for the last few years because can't afford to paint the damned thing. Painted a big smiley on the hood with some extra black primer (hood was grey primer at the time) just because I got tired of it looking all raggedy, multicolor primer and painted panels. Figured looked like a clown car anyway, might as well embrace it.
You're right, you're not going to ruin it any further by rusting it, and can always get replacement later anyway :thumbup:

New corners, six puck clutch,4-1 header, motor mounts, short throw, ARP headstuds, new tensioner, and a feeler gauge to adjust my lifters when i put the head back together.

My last eg was rattlecaned wasent bad bud didnt have money for paint and was alot better than what it did look like. As soon as i replace the quaters in this its getting painted and hood rusted lol. But eventually i am going to get a cf hood when i can spare the cash.

whyd you choose the 4-1 header instead of the 4-2-1 just wondering.
Well it was cheaper lol and i have had problems with all my d series 4-2-1 headers getting loose on the down pipe and leaking so i figured why not try the 4-1 this time.

If you ever have honda issues/questions go see Rob at TotalPerformanceRacing. He's off route 4 in Fairfield. Build is looking good BTW.

Well every car i drive is slammed so i scrape everywhere esp if you just new the roads i was driving on lol. So those cheap 4-2-1 headers just dont stay tight under the stress i put them in. My ek i crashed i got stuck pulling in to speed way had to spin the tires to get it out and i was on three wheels everyone was looking at me.

^ why wouldnt you want to get them?
what cam you thinking about for it?
Well i do but i don't no witch one to run, I was thinking of crower since thats what my head is built with. I also didnt no if the blox intake manifold was worth it because i still need a tb because my stock one has the tps broke on it.
