I got this car for $200. It had some z3 fenders projector headlights and a wrecked hood, so i did a 99-00 front end. I plan to get all the dents out and paint it in the spring. The turbo setup and 5speed swap is almost done:).

any internals done to it?That's what i was wondering. Looks like a good size turbo. And knowing most Hondas around here, It's high mileage.

The turbo is pretty small, and yes it has 180xxx miles :D

the point of a daily is reliability and good gas millage
by putting a turbo on a stock high mileage motor, you just killed your reliability and your gas mileage some...
but if your just doing it for the hell of it, and dont really care if ur stuck on the side of the road with a blown motor.... its all good :goodjob:

I turbo'ed my daily and had no problems. 88 CRX Si, 215,000 mile stock d16a6 it ran awesome, and it still had good gas mileage. :goodjob: Then I sold the turbo kit to mr.d16_turbo, later he used it on his old civic he used as a daily.
