I love that body style, but wow. They couldnt make it MORE obvious, that its been wrecked and the airbags are generic replacements...

Best bet for the 3.5, would be to start with the J32A2, then use the crankshaft, rods, and pistons out of an 04-05 Odyssey. 3.5 stroke shows gains similar to that of a blower on 5-6 psi. If you wanna stay all motor, go with 05 RL pistons, due to higher comp. Otherwise, stick with Odyssey pistons.

edit- if you want it clayed and buffed, I do detailing on the side

Thanks man, yea ill have to hit you up. I just clay bard it, and just waed it. i didnt get to buff it bc i dont have a buffer. lol. So just shoot me your number

And about the airbags part, yea, its been wrecked, the core support has been replaced, but you cant tell looking at it, unless you notice the fact that the core support is black, and the rest of the engine bay is purple, and the airbags, but it doesnt bother me bc im deleting the airbags eventually. And its drives perfect, cant even tell its been wrecked, and i couldnt pass it up for how much i paid for it. Some people on here already kno how much it cost me. Was a very good deal, and couldnt pass it up, for a 2000, with 130k on it, and the a/c still works perfect. lol Considering ones just like this are still going for around 5-7k if not more, and i only paid a qaurter of that price for the car, and its a rare color

probably in an accident and it deployed and then was re-covered.

g35 wheels look decent.
This post comes with a guarantee: I guarantee that I don't care what you think about it.

Can't wait to see how this turns out once you're finished. I hope it looks as good as your Integra did.

Thanks rob, Hopefully it does, im not gonna go as extreme as i did with the teg, but close. Just depends if i swap it or not for a bigger jswap, or stick with the 130, and boost it, but regardless whatever swap it is, its going from an auto to a 6speed hopefully sometime soon, and getting the windows done, exhaust, headers, and a lip kit for now, once the wheels are on. And maybe an 01-02 coupe front bumper with oem jdm fogs. Kinda thought bout doin the SIR front end, but who knows, could happen later on down the road

Those are sweet. Hope to see the 6 speed in it. Don't those J-series automatics fail like every 80k miles?

The OEM lip kit looks great on the coupes. The front definitely does.

I agree 01-02 coupe bumper cover also would look good. Change out the grill and they look badass.
