I would go JBP all day. but the stupid 04's .. no 05's... I would have to do the hub conversion, the interior , and blah blah... and CGM doesnt give off the LOOK I RACE!

I honestly want another one already. the cost to make it a very well modded car is soo cheap. RWD + mods cheap + MPG = ftmfw
my civic being stolen 2 years ago should have been considered a blessing@:goodjob:
But im getting another sti in august. If I go to crazy on this car I will need to a third one!

I get so jealous everytime I see this thread...lolol
My Aunt and Uncle have a 1985 sr5 coupe. They bought it pretty much new (2nd owner). Factory everything, Maroon paint ( Not a thing wrong with it), Interior is a 9/10, and I can't remember to the exact, but it had right under 90k orginal miles.
I've been trying to get my hands on it for almost a year now.

Make sure you get some sort of heat protection [heat shield, header wrap, etc.] around the header or the distributor cap. The heat will melt that thing away. :yes:

- Moldings (anyone knows of a great place to find new ones tell me!)
- Interior panels.
- Rust day is now SATURDAY! Door jams / under carpet pedal area /
- Steering column needed. Boots are torn to all hell
- Removal of all A/C and PS components
- Pulleys are rusted and nasty. Time for some JDM goodeeeesssssss!!

UPDATE
I spent today getting rid of the junk and the ghetto rigged shit on this car. Im starting to get down the the junk on her. This engine bay gets very roomy fast!
List of stuff completed today
Removed the fan gear and got some acorn nuts on there
Removed all A/C lines and filled holes with grommets for now.
Started removing the P/S parts. More tomm.
Fixed the ghetto loose wiring of the pusher fan
Did a nice temporary setup for the coolant overflow tank.
Tapped and actually attached the intake so its not "floating" in the engine bay.
WHERE WE STARTED THE DAY AT:
