No, I dont think so, after Nav bought it, he had some issues, re did some electrical, still had issues, then he sold it.

The previous owner apparantly blew the built motor, sold the car, this kid installed a stock H22.

I haven't seen the car in about 2 or 3 years lol

[rage2]

Oh what? The built motor blew up???

[navdeep]

that car is problems , for some reason me and toma could never make power with it i redid the hole top end, still notting over 300whp

[Toma]

Yeah, you never know. They showed up with the vauum line that goes to the fuel pressure regulator looped around and connected from one port in the itnake to another port in the intake, and nothing on the regulator lol

[rage2]

Ya I remember tuning that car, and made no top end power like VTEC wasn't kicking in. Turned off VTEC and lost even more power so it definately wasn't VTEC engagement haha.

Really bizarre. Even Leo's ghetto lude was making more power. It was the most frustrating car I worked with over the years.

[buh_buh]

It made decent power with the stock block. It just never ran the same after the engine build and the wires got ripped out on my way to Toma's. At the time, it was the highest whp stock block H22. After that people started making 400whp on it. But at the time, nobody thought you could make close to 300whp on a stock block H22. Props to Rage for that.

I think if the engine harness was replaced, that'll solve the problems with it.

Not sure which clutch is in it now, but I put in a 4 puck clutch that was good for 600whp.

Man, I feel like if I'd kept my EG longer it would have been another legendary basketcase Honda.

[2000impreza]

Couple years ago, I heard the owner was having issues with the block. I guess he didn't figure it out since it the motor eventually blew.

Back in the day, buh_buh put some serious coin into building this car. lol.

good to see an og car still around
