    when you rebuild it, it brings it back to 0 miles, depending on how far you go, you replace everything, get it all cleaned etc. costs much less nad you can play around with compression numbers as well with diff pistons and such. It depends on if youw ant to go fast, or look good, if you want vtec, or turbo, all motor etc.

    figure out what you want first. Do you want all motor, turbo, vtec, non-vtec, LS-Vtec? What do you want the car to look like?


    There is a rule I use to build cars with. Would I rather have a car that looks good first and possibly sitting on the side of the road or would I rather have a car that is reliable that I can slowly build up? That is why I always start from the inside out. Engine/suspension, interior, body/wheels

    that is so damn true!!!

    I ask so many people that same question
    especially older model cars

    I helped a guy the other day who couldnt get his car to crank
    it had 22", beutiful paint job clean as hell.......on the outside
    but once i looked under the hood.
    oil was everywhere, hacked up wires, and it was leaking power steering
    "but he was ridin' clean"!!! his words exactly
