Not sure this is the right place, but just wanted to show you guys what we been working on for the past week.....

One of our customer is in mad love with import cars... Honda... :)
He hired us to be his own personal mechanic/tuner for his cars. with that title comes alot of privledges though, one of them being driving these cars.

Our shop recieved this car as a rolling chassis from UK on Nov 23, 2005, we have to prep the engine (JDM RSX TYPE R) then install it, then after that take it to the track to set the car up when it opens in March.

This car will be registrered, tagged, and street driven!

and all the padding on the bars is just a precaution against accidental nicks and will be removed before driving

The Car = Ariel Atom
The Heart = JDM RSX TYPE R K20A
Company = Xtreme Autosports
Locaton = Tulsa, Oklahoma
Atom Owner = James Sharp
Mechanic/Tuner = Luke Pierce

Enjoy!

I'm serioulsy drooling.
If there was one car that I would trade MY ITR for it would be that.

So what did you have to do to the motor in regards as prep?

Yeah I was thinking the same thing...The unsupercharged model! HAHA

Oh and I thought it came with a CTR engine not an ITR engine.

They really arent that expensive to buy, just shipping it over to the states is the killer.

UK offers civic, civic type r and supercharger motor..

we thought JDM Type R motor give us more power for now and more options for mods in future..
