Glad to hear you found a painter. What color are you going with? Hope it comes out slick and with a quick turnaround!
Going with the OEM VSM color. I hope it turns out well too! Fingers crossed

Just went through the thread, and man… The detail and parts you’re putting into it are awesome. Can’t wait to see it once you get it all dialed in.

Thank you! Slowly but surely!
Wow, I’m envious. Really nice build so far.
I swapped a B16B with the CTR trans into my EM1, here is my experience so far. Keep in mind the EM1 is obviously a lot heavier than your hatch, and I’m still running AC, Etc.
It aint fast. Its not speedy, or even quick for any type of modern car. But its super fun. And its a bit of history, hand built, way before its time, and not something you see often anymore.
If the goal is to have a fun car that’s not going to break any land speed records, its great.
Great build so far.

That’s exactly why I wanted the B16b or the B18c- fun reliability and it’s an iconic engine.

They said 3-4 weeks. It needed a lot of love. I’m ok waiting- as long as it’s done right

Yeah same here. Can’t rush people if you want good results.

I broke down and made an IG for the build. Seems
Like an easy platform to keep things up to date.
