My ED6... weekend racer on a budget

[M.Doban]

Thanks, gents!

So I did some cleaning today. Basically just polished everything up. I'm not going to refinish the wheels or anything, I like the worn look. I did however sand down some rash on a couple of the lips with some 600 grit. Turned out nicely. Tires should be here any day now.





Here's some before and after of the center caps.

Oh my those cleaned up well! They're going to look so fantastic.

Now go ahead and get this thing back on the road, we have racecar(or streetcar in your case ) things to do!

just read the 4 pages!
props to you man, i really enjoyed every part of this thread, you're humble, your car is simple and seems to be more than effective, daily driven, what else?
I wish that there were more threads like this to read!

I really love the 15" Panasport, i always had a soft spot for this look of wheels (RS-watanabe / Compomotive / Minilite / Panasport...) and plan to buy a set in the future.
Can't wait to see the 13" on!

Keep up the great work and keep us updated!

awesome build so far man, love them panasport

[Raarasutra]

just read the whole thread, and I'm loving it buddy! It's a shame that you don't live around here, cause I would gladly trade some of your mechanical knowledge for some of my woodworking knowledge


Anyway, car looks awesome! New (old) wheels are freakin' killing it too man, don't bother listening to the ****** out in the world, cause when they see it they'll understand

UGH. I would absolutely love to take you up on that. Woodworking is something I really plan on learning lots of.
Thank so much for the kind words, man! It feels good to have people say things like that, you know?

THANK YOU. Soon, my friend. Soon.

WOW. Thank you SO much! Means a lot to me. I like your attitude.

I do too. I just love any old school wheel really, but these "banana spoke" wheels really seem to work on these cars.
HEY! Buy my old ones! They're pretty minty.

Again, thanks so much. Best comment in the thread so far.

Thanks, Stu!
It's road legal as of today

We shall do racecar things on Wednesday. Get ready for the fun.


Well everybody, I was pretty bummed out these passed couple days because my tires were supposed to arrive all of those days. BUT TODAY IS THE DAY. I was so excited when the UPS truck pulled up. You all know that feeling. But sadly it was almost 5:00 and that's when everyone closes. But I thought I'd call the tire shop anyways. What do you know? They close at 7:00 today! Cool freakin' beans. So I toted everything down there. Tires went on perfectly, no scratches on the wheels, and no troubles balancing them either.

So here it is. There was no light so the few pictures I have are a little poor. But nevertheless, I present to you my car on 13's.

p.s. It's lower now too. (because of the tires)







I love the look so much. It's got that meaty-ness to it. Looks more a like a track car now and not a show car.

LOOOOVE THE TEAAAAAL!!! Sweet car brotha

[rsingh3g]

Looks so awesome!

[TheCrabMaster]

I diggin this mane, love hatches!

[MrGL2]

Real fun thread to read man !

Props for all you have accomplished so far because I gotta say I was hesitant at first, I'm not a honda guy usually ...

Everything is spot on, love the 13's

[M.Doban]

Thanks, guys! I need to get some better pictures ASAP as possible. But I don't have a nice camera. They will come though. It really looks heaps better in person than on here!

[CrackerTeg]

Wow. I like what I see. What are your ultimate underhood plans? I think I saw something about a mini me setup but are there plans for something bigger and badder or keeping it simple?

[floatingdino]

New wheel + tire setup is meat as. Love it. These old boxy Hondas are SO COOL.
What happened to AWD plans? Doesn't seem to quite line up with a carby engine, also I assume it's not selling any time soon now?
Keep it up, this thing is sick chips.

Thanks so much! I feel like most people on this site aren't Honda fans but whatever. I'm sure not going over to Honda-tech!

Right. I forgot to say something about all that. I decided one day not to sell the current engine. I was about to go yank it out but decided against it. Good thing too because the friend that wanted to buy it didn't actually have the money.

I was like, "Would I rather have a fast car to rip on now in college or a stupid slow car and a couple thousand bucks to last me through college?" NOPE. I'll take the fast car. I'll make the couple thousand later and have my fun now. So I am!

I probably won't be making any more "go fast" mods to this car. It's at the limits of the 4-puck clutch right now. Next step is a twin disk and I cant afford that.

But anyways, thanks so much guys! Glad you like it

In the near future I'll be making an ovalized downpipe and a sick nasty skid plate. Because I drove the car today and let me tell you... it was actually pretty aggravating scraping were there were no visible waves in the road.
