The car's no longer mine and there's another thread for it now, but here's a little prequel to this thread http://forums.beyond.ca/st/254523/01-prelude/
Here's what the car looked like the day I picked it up from T&T Honda with 11kms on it. Brand spankin new and unmolested. This was back in 2002.

A little while later after getting sick of just the V-TAK and wanting more power, a MaxRev turbo kit went in. Specs on the turbo: 57 trim T3/T04e, .63AR, stage 3 wheel. It didn't look pretty, but I was somewhat satisfied with the power. This is probably sometime in 2003.

The end result,

And then after a couple exhaust tweaks, 40 more whp!

A few aesthetic parts thrown into the mix, and its starting to coming together. She's ready to rock and roll. This is sometime between 2003 an 2004

Some time later, a couple more subtle changes, and I get used to the power and want more. So I opt for an upgraded turbo in a Precision SC6031, still a .63AR, but upgraded to a 60 trim. A Benson sleeved block: hot tanked, squared and surfaced, Benson Machine sleeves installed with a .003" stepped deck, Benson bored and honed cylinders, Benson balanced and micropolished crank, CP 9:1 pistons and rings, Manley rods, some other goodies.

A little bit of stopping power and new wheels

A respray, a couple more goodies and this is what she starts to look like before I gave up on the project and sold it to Nav

Thanks guys. I always loved the purple :poosie:
No more projects. I threw enough money into this car than I'd like to in my lifetime. I love the car, but I learned my lesson.
