Project Unknown. A walk into the dark!

[JustSomeGuy]

Ok, here's my intro thread and build thread combined. I've built 2 honduh's already. a 93 civic w/ b20vtec setup that ran mid 13's, and a 95 coupe with built b20 on 17lbs boost that ran high 12's on a night that I could get traction. For years I've wanted to try and do the drifting thing. I've been driving a friends s14 with him learning the ropes. Well I was finally GIVEN a s13. So Here we go......

The day I picked it up:




After I cleaned up the car some and went through all the parts that were crammed in there:




Full tank of gas! Guess I should buy a fuel pump and cover piece:


Found this in the hatch area. Smells like bad weed but looks like some sort of tobacco. This shit went in the trash as quick as I could get it out the car!


Parts that were in the car:


Engine Bay:



After I pulled dash to remove all A/C and other un-needed components. This car will not be daily driven so all the lil extra stuff isn't needed/wanted:



Decided what to call it :


The only decisions I've made so far that are set in stone is the engine choice and paint colors. I'm gonna be building a KA-T but that will be last. For the interior, in the front I'm gonna bring the interior back to stock, but the car will stay gutted for backseat and hatch area, sanded and painted a camo pattern.
The engine bay will also be prepped correctly and painted a camo pattern. The exterior of the car is going flat black, and I'm tinting the windows as dark as I can get em. Prolly gonna go with a black wheel and put a dark green lip on them. All opinions, comments, and suggestions are welcome.

this should be renamed project omg,lol. you got alot of work to do man.

[JustSomeGuy]

yep. I agree. But I am more than wiling to put in the time. I have a Honda Accord and a CRV to drive everyday, so there is no hurry on this thing. Although anytime there is some left over money after bills I do plan to use it to make progress on this turd. lol.

i cant wait to see how this goes. hey one mans trash is another mans treasure. i woulda took it for free

[JustSomeGuy]

yeah When he called me and said that I could have it for free, I left work about 10mins later to go get it. I told him on the phone I'll be there within the hour with a truck and dolly. lol.

Since you want to sound like a cunt how about this. My family owns a reputable bodyshop in my area, and this will be my third build, the first two were civics that brought home trophy's from local shows. So yes it will be finished. And rattle can black? umm. no...... actually painted flat black in a paint booth by a professional painter ( my fathers employee ). Whether you think I'm some young kid who is TRYING to do this at home not knowing what he's doing or not is not my concern. But yes I am a very respected tuner/builder/mechanic in my area and NO I am not broke. If you're thinking this won't get finished because I'm broke you're so wrong.... K, Thanx bye....

In case you think I'm bullshitting, www.importtuner.com and www.hondatuning.com has writeups on this 95 Honda Civic I built last summer for a friend of mine. If you need more vouches for proof, go over to www.nostreetracing.org ( local New Orleans forum ), and ask about me and what I have done and can do. My nickname is MNTLKASE. Thats how most people in the area know me.

Bluesharks13:........speaking of someone who can vouch for my work.......

And yeah bro, I had to make it over. lol........see ya at the enxt meet hopefully. Now that I at least have something going on, i'll start showing up again. lol.

Links posted are just homepages that doesnt really say much.You posted you were open to all opinions well that's mine. If u have access to a professional paint why will you paint a 20 yr old car flat black, you will only make it look more like shit and forget about camo.... were not going hunting in a 240. So which rims and kit are you going with that will clear up alot. i would not be surprised if you say s15 front
