Would it not be worth having a go at vinyl wrapping it ?

I got quoted £680 for a full car wrap in gloss black

if I had the money I would love a decent wrap but unfortunately my budget is very tight

Ive looked at doing it myself as you can get the vinyl cheap yourself , but I reckon u would need 2 people and a lot of patience , but having looked at youtube ...worth a go

Sorry Lucas off topic a bit but look forward to your good lady ripping my lude

but donna didnt want it

She wishes ! as you can see from the first pictures, its not a vti or a type-r.. it is however still an EK chassis

its an EK3, 1.5 vtec sohc

BUT.. donna has epic plans for it

ive bought a D16z6 engine for £60 and we are using the head and the manifolds which will take it from around 115bhp to about 125 ish... but then shes strapping a turbo to its ass

with stock internals a D15 can handle upto 235bhp with low psi

so shes wanting it to be just over 200 to be safe and then it be keeping up... or leaving.. the prelude

I thought the z6 was non vtec I used a d16y8 when I had the 1.5

the d15z6 is a 16v sohc with an intake vtec.. its an e-vtec.
and when its under 3000rpm and at half throttle the eco mode is enabled

once it has the d16 head on it it will have a real vtec haha
