FINAL THOUGHT
Just wanna say I've put enormous amount of money into my car as you can see not to mention actual cost of car and maintence I've had to do over the years and i dont plan to stop. Ever.
Currently I am self sponsored and wouldn't mind having a helping hand.
Would love to grace the cover of Honda Tuning magazine when my car is satisfactory.
Thanks for reading.

thanks buddy,
the pics with the cf hood, lip, & wing im running 12mm spacers in the rear only. That was the largest i could find that was grade 8 stainless steel and didn't have other studs.
in the pic in my garage im not using any spacers.

[monjarassi]

hows the clearance up front?

perfect, never rubs cuz ive had them rolled.
not any other problems

Update!
got tuned 185whp, 160lbs of torque!

I've been waiting to pick up my Z1 head that has recently been port an polished with 3 angle valve job.
also going to pick up an a2 or z3 oil pump kit for higher revvs. +arp head studs
also gonna install my stock airbox with Hondata mod K&N filter & add a velocity stack to the bottom opening then wrap it with gold wrap for heat reduction.
Maybe a Morroso baffled oil pan just for kicks depending on how good the new year or taxes treat me.
Then off to Tony for install and tune.
hoping to hit 215whp and 180lbs or torque

DAMN IT'S BEEN 4 YEARS!!

So after a very long time I have my ep back, don't want to get into it but had someone doing a head swap for me and they ended up vanishing so I had to track down my car.

yesterday, I got it back. She needs some professional help.

[spartan]

I'm back! haha not really just here to say hello and I still have my ep. 2021 Will for sure be the year my EP will be turbocharged! Its a EMUSA turbo but the rest of the kit is Greddy with the exception of the Turbo Manifold (log type), TIAL 44mm wastegate, and REVHard Down pipe. I work for a racing shop in Ontario CA and make YouTube vids among other things so if you guys are interested follow Rockstar Garage or I might post it on my personal YouTube.
