Some shots of a few of my DSM's past and present. Through various stages of their builds.
I get what your saying. I don't respect guys that pay to have everything done either. But I've budget built for years. Now that I had the extra cash to build something that I always wanted to build people automatically think that I'm not a greasy gear-head. I'm the type of guy that would rather build my own cars. Even if it winds up costing me just as much as it would have to just buy something "fast" from a dealership. After owning several extremely high powered street and drag cars I've been poiled. I would never be able to afford the type of car that would perform at the level I would need it to to keep me satisfied.
I would want something like the Hennessy Exige that sports a twin turbo SBC to the tune of 1,200bhp,capable of 1,400. It's a 9.90 sec 1/4 mile car.0-60mph in under 3 seconds. But it's also $900,000. Sorry for the super long post. I just hate when people think I pay people to build my rides. Only people that I enlist for some help is a couple of friends that are chassis builders and another buddy that tunes my EMS. Other than that I do it all myself.
I built the motor and tranny for my buddy's VR-4.

Nice cars, but you've been whoring your pictures all over the place man. Keep them in your build thread.

Give it about a month, someone will do it as there are a couple kits in the works.

I've been told this is a factory Honda colour, anyone got any idea if that's true? I have seen it on a few Hondas so if someone can confirm that and even give me a name for it, I'd be hugely grateful

I think its the purple that comes on new Fits.
EDIT: Looking at the Honda website, the color seems to have been dropped.

Your suspicions are well-founded.
Custom adapter plate to mount the S2000 transmission, custom engine mounts, exhaust manifold, and a custom intake manifold currently in the works.
Also this:

Re: K20 powered 240.......why? Great engine yes, but so many others that make more sense.

Probably a stupid question - anyone got a name for those wheels other than stockie/steelies?
That particular style is actually epic. Name? Brand?

Diamond Racing were quite popular with the HellaFlush crowd. Not sure what other brands are out there... (most probably just widened standard steel wheels I guess)
