You are definitely getting it done. Good job man. You got a good thing that I hope to have as well. Get a nice pickup to daily and keep the car for fun. That way you're never bored.

Very inspiring.

Unfortunately the Camaro isn't mine, but I have lots of hours into it. We hope to have it fully finished by August-September.

Within a few weeks I'll have possession of the H. Hopefully by the end of July I'll have it and can start the build process.

I can do exhaust clips of the car with my phone, but the sound quality isn't that great. I'll see what I can do.

Every time I look at your car Im constantly impressed at its simply clean appearance and style.Keep it up!I like it.

Thank you. I really appreciate comments like that from members like yourself who have cars I consider to be classes above mine. It's cars like yours that motivate to build bigger, better and especially outside the box.

As I've stated before, my goal with this car is to highly modify the car, using mostly OEM mixed and matched pieces and basically build a one-off Accord Type R....Nothing new, but what I'm bringing to the table is to build it in such a way that it looks like you could have ordered it straight from the dealership, aside from a few small personal touches I've added.

Basically I want to make this car in it's form and function like a DC2 ITR, but in the CB chassis. Obviously the majority of my swap pieces are from a Prelude, but I have always found the Prelude to be a very uninspiring car. They've never impressed me, and the ones I see all give off a real douchebag vibe.

The CB coupe has such clean lines and a classic shape. It's understated and sophisticated in stock form. But with a few pieces you turn this mild mannered handsome car into a real classy elegant car. To me, CB's don't give off the douche factor other sporty cars like Preludes and Integras do.

Because you don't see many Accord coupes around, I always get asked about "your Prelude." The other day a guy at the gas station complemented my car and asked if it was a Prelude and I said "partially".

keep up the good work, you'll be very happy with the h22. Though i have always hated the way the lude bucket seats are shaped.

After swap and it is near its "type-r" completion, respray in genuine championship white. That would be pretty sick IMO. I just love everything about the car though, keep it up Mike

[crazymikey]

Championship White is exactly what I've got up my sleeve for paint.

this is gonna be badass

I need to stop spending money on my truck haha.

I got the muffler mounted up better. In the videos you can see is straight, but way off to the left almost hitting the bumper. I remedied that with a slight bend in the pipe and then stuck the muffler out on about a 45 degree angle. I think the look suits it. Kinda fills up the hole, and looks pretty decent too.

It's quieter now too. I don't know if the bend has to do with it, or maybe my muffler cement and clamps are mounted better this time, but I am 110% happy with the outcome. From the axle back, it's fitted together with a 2.5" to 2" reducer and a slightly bent 2" piece of exhaust pipe. All slip fitted together, sealed and clamped. Because I'm poor and don't have a welder....and the whole job cost me $12, including the price of the muffler.

[crazymikey]

aww yeah. OEM As Fuck!

[Smokinspeeds]

You're bumper is gonna burn dude.

[crazymikey]

It's not even close to it. I'm not concerned. The pics make it look closer to the side than it really is.

[brsteinbach]

I love the way it looks with the angle!

Can you get a pic from underneath so I can see how you modded it to get the angle.
