i will post interior pics tomorrow!!!
my first thing that i need to do is change the axles
i found out that is what the problem is =/
it shouldnt be that hard..
then i am going to get the new header
then exhaust.
i wanted to keep my wheels but thats why he liked the car so much.
my plans are going to be slow,
this is going to be a slow build.
but i dont see why people dont like these cars....just because you cant throw in a b- series motor in it? wth
the more research i do the more things i learna bout the em2's
they are pretty sick!!!
just wait every one,
once i have enough money i am going to swap the engine, slam it, get some wheels, and every one will be suprised
there arent enough people on here with this generation, i'll show every one what they are missing

It's just not the best of Civic platforms is all. The D17 is sort of the bastard child of Honda motors (for numerous reasons), which is why there aren't many being modded.
Where is the type R lip you mentioned in the OP?
Is it a manual?
Best of luck with the project

I liked your old EK, but that was a pretty fair trade. How many miles are on this one? Car looks super clean, too. With a drop, some nice wheels, no fart can, and a K-Series swap somewhere down the line, it'll definitely be sick. I actually like the look of that generation; it's just the D17 that I don't like. Like everyone else, I am also wondering if it's a stick and where the Type-R lip is? Congrats on the new car man!

OF COURSE THIS IS STICCK!!!
i am going to take picture of the interior soon.
its all black and super clean.
i am not really excited for the engine. i mean it feels like i am driving a kia rio...not gonna lie
thanks Forty04
oh and the type r lip...is in my garage. i will post pictures. but think i am trading it for a set of yellow fogs. i just dont want to try and put it on. i try'd the other day
and having a cast phuckin sucks
i loved my old ek, it was fun. also had a lack of power...d16y7 non vtec...there isnt much there. i could have done alot with it. but i cn do alot with my em2
i wasnt a fan of these either tho!!! intell i drove it.
N0safebetdx i asure you that if you were to drive this car with a nice k-seriers swap you would have much more appreciation. sooo what?? i cant put a b16/b18 in here.
there is plenty more that i can doo!!!

I never said anything abt a b16 nor b18 I just don't like the way they look cosmetically on the outside.... and I can put a K20 in mine too if I wanted to.... but I just dont like them for the way they look end of story on my end!

Eh...needs a real, real, real good clean but not too bad. Need new seats, floor mats, a shift ****, and a steering wheel cover but other than that not too shabby 
And a little part of me died when i saw ur new sig
But i agree with you, these cars have ALOT of potential and i really do hope that you prove people wrong with this. Still glad that u didnt get a four door one tho haha those are just straight up one of the ugliest civics ever produced lmao
Anyway good luck!
Oh almost forgot, i say dont do the lip, swap it for the fogs
a lip on this wont look good as of now...wait til u drop it then we'll decide if it needs a new lip lol

We have greatly varied definitions of the word "clean"
also, it's "until" not "intel." Intel is short for inteligence, "until" is a function word used to show continuance.
ex: "I can't wait UNTIL we've gathered all the INTEL on Sadam!"
