Back Story
Just lost my Teg on the way home (11/27) to careless driver. Found out 11/28 the guy who hit me lied about his insurance so sorry for budget but I'm all out of pocket on this. Build\RIP thread on HT https://honda-tech.com/forums/appearanc ... w-3275268/for those curious. Thanks,

Alan

Congrats on the purchase. I look forward to the upcoming build thread.

hey, is that the Type R that needed a new engine or pistons? Looked clean.

Awesome. Now make a rebuild thread.

Yeah, that's the one. It's pretty complete too. I've been pretty impatient to pick something up and start rebuilding after the accident. The seller was pretty cool and had a couple projects of his own going.

The plan is to clean it up, put it together well, then enjoy it as a daily and take it out for HPDE days as often as I can. Reading so many of the great builds here it sets a pretty high bar. In comparison our story won't likely be so grand but I'll do my best to do right by this car and make sure it sees some track time.

Once it arrives I'll take some unloading and inaugural project pics to start a thread.

One shouldn't compare. It's your car, build it as you see fit. The community is behind you to help source parts, offer tips, etc. I know I can share experiences on what not to do from my rebuild project.
