**rbsjnh** · 03-19-2008, 09:27 AM

Hey guys, finally have enough in motion to start this thread. This is gonna be my streetcar. I live in the world of V8's and musclecars, so my intention is to build a car to take advantage of rich old men...gonna make a buck somewhere. I've owned lots of chassis before, but decided the em2 would be best for the lack of love for it.

I purchased the car brand new in late 2001, it is a 2002 model but they are all the same...I drove the car for years, but kept purchasing daily's to save from NH rot...

So here we go....

The car:

yes those are slips...dont hate...they are being sold as I write this and we have some new surprises in route...

Parts Collected So far:

Visteon/King Motorsports DC5 radiator...I work for a visteon dealer so I got a smokin deal...very nice product

supertech flat faced valves...for higher Compression n/a baby, n/a.

brian Crower stage 3 cams, with springs, retainers and clips...

Golden eagle head studs

to many new honda parts to list, more en route...

fidanza flywheel, new starter, heat deflecting img...yes I know that is for a an rsx head, not a tsx...trust me...stay tuned

acl bearings

wiseco 12.5 cr pistons...for k24...thanks Colin

thanks Colin

rsx dash, for pimpin

s2k dash cluster...again thanks Colin

hybrid harness....bosch wideband

ep3 EPS

no I still need the harness and control box...I also need to figure out how to wire it up...no the rods and pistons are ib spec....they are CJM original pistons, before he went to the stroker kit of the gods....

I'm gonna have to modify an rsx dash cluster to make it work, just because of the way the dash is set up...
