but got bored very quickly so was looking at a project when this little beauty came along

[nicko]

im doing a full kswap with full ep3 footwork replacing everything for new and uprated as i go

will let the pic do the talking.

picked up full brakes, hub swap and subframe.








then stripped everything down for blasting and bushing

Interesting build.

[pulpmelon_r]

I actually like the little D17 vtec in the EM2, its so smooth and quiet.

A K-swap will bring it to life though
