Booo slowstangs haha I heard these cars really are addicting, I'm kinda scared that I'll never be able to get rid of this thing!
 
Hey atleast you'll be a domestic/muscle car guy with some respect for the import/tuner scene. I hate people ragging on my car because it doesn't have a big v8 or some s***.

Yeah I'm def not a fan of Hondas, but you've gotta be able to respect someone elses work if it's done well even if it's not your style, ya know?

PS Sorry for the thread jacking.

heh i say that on cb7tuner and i get chewed out. fan boys to the end i tell ya! but being in both hondas(87 prelude, 91 accord, 94 accord, 95 prelude, 98 crv, 85 accord) i can tell you that they are not as great as they make them out to be. motor wise, yea they are awesome, but body and interior is crap. when i first sat in the p5 i was amazed lol. although i hate to admit, i miss the interior of my 01 b15 sentra (the exterior sucked balls though lol)
 
Nice...is that the motor that was listed on Craigslist in Charlotte...or somewhere up there...where did you get it...
 
yeah it was listed as a 2002 protege 57k miles wrecked all they had left was the motor.
 
well car is back from the dead and im getting her back together.

In the end how much did it cost you, monetary and timewise?

thanks! was originaly midnight blue, in the end labor was free cause i did all the work. in new oem mazda parts and stuff in these forums fs section. prolly 3000.00 total w/free labor. oh btw still not done, still have to buy front grill, new windw switch and some other bs stuff. drivable tho, drove it 50 miles twice to and from paint shop.

thanks!!! yeah i wanted to ditch the hood and go oem but funds were getting low and my painter wanted car cause he had a spot open to paint and time ran out. good thing is oem hoods are plentiful and i still have half a gallon left on paint.
