Post stolen caR thoughts

............... Also, one of the head bolts ended up being stripped and I used a Time Sert to repair it, (mind you before that it managed a 108 degree track day at Thunderhill)!

Do you think the engine was cracked open at one point?

My friend bought it form a private seller in San Diego. It had RSX front seats and JDM 16's at that time. Plus no front lip and "happy" carved into the front bumper.

My friend also felt similar about it driving weird and he ended up replacing some suspension arms, but the biggest factor was a wonky axle. Also, one of the head bolts ended up being stripped and I used a Time Sert to repair it, (mind you before that it managed a 108 degree track day at Thunderhill)!

It's great to see more pictures of it before I owned it, thanks!

Did your friend happen to buy it from a honda-tech user "TYPERman2001"?

I do remember him saying they seemed a little sketch lol.
