Great forum you've got yourselves here - Its been an excellent resource for me and hope in the future I can contribute something back..

thanks man!

Gump's gorgeous mugen laden coupe - this car has always been inspirational to me.. Funnily enough I've been looking at a Mugen rep spoiler in EBP thats for sale at the mo - Can't decide. Think I might try without a spoiler for a while
 
defo needs a mugen spoiler, if you getting one then go for a genuine one
 
unfortunately I cant stretch to that kind of monies - saving pennies for an engine swap/build. Everything done to the car has been on a tight budget ;)

is this d series and what engine you going for?
 
no its running a healthy b16a, but looking to either build a b20 or swap for B18cR - keep changing my mind. For now I'm finishing sorting the chassis and then ill be doing the interior and bodywork
 
Nice! The best colour imo for an em1! And thats coming from a guy with a silver one :)
 
Thanks for the comments guys.. I've owned the car for few years, was totally stock when I bought her but in need of some TLC.

I used to think the colour was outdated and was considering a moonrock grey respray - but now I think with so many new grey cars the EBP looks more individual, and I'd rather spend that sponey on other aspects of the motor :) .. Although I am in the middle of replacing dinged/dented panels and will be cutting & polishing when the weather sorts itself out!

For reference - you cant get a door inside a coupe! but the noise is amazing with the boot open..

As for the engine I'd love to build a b20 but having never done internal work before, think I'll probably go for a B18cR out the box - next year I want to start a 3g Civic or CRX bare shell build so might save the b20 for that :)
 
I appreciate the love for the old girl and the warm welcomes.. thanks guys! :)
 
Welcome to the forum. Great coupe you have, I've always liked the EBP.
 
Welcome along. Very nice car. I dont see enough coupes.
