The ugly duckling (a Sol story)

CURRENTLY:deciding paint job
ALL RIGHT, the time has finally come to get on this project. I've been itching to have a nice boosted honda for over a year now and with a lot (and i mean a LOT) of research and learning and a job, i think i can go ahead and do this thing, and i'de love to take yall along for the ride:)
Time for me to pull my weight around here as much as yall have helped me so i will not only be making this to document my progress, but also to help everyone learn some how-to (whatever i can do with out professional help) and if i screw up, learn from my mistakes, lol.

Ok, where to start, i get a paycheck every 2 weeks so pretty much, long as i start with the cheaper stuff and work up, look for updates through out the weeks, after i get through the cheap, part will come creeping in as i can afford them (turbo, manifold, ect..)
**Prequel... Todd(me), Josh (my cousin)
---Josh: I gots me a GSR, and im going to turbo it and it will dust your stuff
.....Todd: i bet it won't
.....we set a budget, and now IT'S ON.....

**GOALS**
--350HP efficiently--not going to be a daily driven, but I want it to be able to be
--Custom, cleam design-- something to turn heads, but im not a ricer body kit style guy. Custom touches
--inform, learn and stay on budget-- help teach other honda people, learn myself, dont over spend

Current money spent---------------- $950
