ever since October, I decided to forget stressing about wearing down the NB and picked myself up a beater...
i found a 98 EX civic 4dr for 2 grand that had done 205k. the exterior was beat up and it didnt have wheels, but being that it was owned by a smog tech... everything was mechanically sound with a heart of gold testing at 193/195/192/194psi.

i added wheels just to get around and realized.... EVERYTHING IS SOOO FUCKING CHEAP for Hondas... before MRLS was officially announced, i decided that I wanted to do a cheap beater build to keep things as cost efficient as possible. EBAY will be my friend for this build because IDGAF.
now that MRLS was over, things started crankin.

F1 spec flywheel + clutch combo = $160
Labor = $200
*the only real problem was that the main seal was leaking but who would do all that work and put the old clutch back in.

Windoweld polyurethane mounts = $15
OEM mounts were completely shot so I filled them with polyurethane, let sit for a few days and rocked out... some nice vibrations inside the cabin but actually way less than I expected... very well worth it.
