Allow me to translate.
Actually, his front bumper and side skirts are totally different from my car. My front end is custom made with 2 types of veilside body kits molded into one. I also have a skyline tail light conversion. Everyone has their own taste in modding their vehicles. Some people like a basic clean look, while others prefer more drastic mods. It's all about taste. Don't rag on someone car. (I couldn't make sense out of the rest of your rant, so I let it go)
That took me all of about ten seconds to build a respectable paragraph out of your failed attempt. If that's all the better you can do, you need a tutor.
I have always hovered on this site for a long time, but have been a Honda-Tech member since 02', but since H-T went to hell, thought I would come over and give PO a whirl. Might not be the best, but pertty close in my eyes, still have some more exterior stuff I would like to do, been concentrating on perfomance mostly, but here are a few pics.

How can you post those pictures and not list any modifications or take more engine shots? Why not some editorials on what it is and what you're doing with it? Don't leave us in suspense!!
P.S. You are the first prelude i've seen with the vortex generators on your car. I once wanted to do that (only on the paint) but I see you've done it on your windshield.

LOL! Yeah It was built for drag when I first started, but it has become more of a double duty car with drag and NASA Time Attack being the focus, hence why I focused on powerband and not peak power. Essentially I wanted to build a full interior (95%) street car that I could drive to and from the track, with just over 700whp on tap on pump gas (E85 & meth) and just switch out suspension and wheels for the track and be ready to go. I have been working on it for a long time, and almost had it running, but decided to buy a house, so all of my leisure money stopped rolling in, so it is a very slow process as of now. As for the vortex generators, not sure if they help or not, but I am fabbing up a full underbody diffuser, so it shoud suck to the groung pretty well on the track, also I will be replacing the factory roof & sunroof with a full carbon fiber replacement to take some weight off of the highest point (Tring to see if anyone has any intrest in carbon, carbon/kevlar roof caps, and roof replacements too). Well I guess I will list a few of the highlights for you guys, thanks.
Neptune RTP

I remember seeing this car on H-T... Its sick i like the pipe thingies u got coming out of the side on the front bumper... Hopefully this thing breaks some lude records lol
Simply amazing! I think you get the award for the most well-thought-out engine bay (at least from what I've seen). You have done exactly what I plan to do with my valve cover. I want to put two -12 AN fittings coming out of the front and running into a Moroso Breather Catch Can Whatchamacalit. I actually do need this even with my relatively puny supercharged setup (compared to your ridiculous turbo) because on the dyno it blew out my oil dipstick. Well that's better than blowing out a seal in the block, but I don't want it to ever come down to that.
May I ask did you do that yourself? I probably could with my spare valve cover and some aluminum solder material and a propane torch but to be honest, if the place you got it done at the place that did your valve cover, then I'll just have them do it all in one fell swoop.
I also see you have the (Passwordjdm?) Alternator Bracket relocator made for the Civic H22 swap. That's pretty cool as well. Pretty much every part on this engine bay kicks ass and I love what you did with it. I hope you keep us all updated even more. It's amazing to see a drag racer and track car all in one, although not unfeasible since you said you swap out your suspension and wheels.
I am planning on a carbon fiber roof plug in the future, but I see you're looking to do an entire roof in carbon fiber. That's a tall order. I don't know much about track racing, but I know certain classes have certain rules and restrictions, including having the roof of the car in either all the same material or how it came from the factory. So in some classes, even replacing a glass sunroof with a carbon fiber one is illegal. Once again, I don't know if this applies to you, but I think it certainly would boost your performance in this area (taking out all the weight and lowering your center of mass).
BB6-213, you should start a members ride thread because your lude is hot and i would like to hear more about the build process since im in the middle of a build myself, i just wish my engine bay was as clean as yours
Hey, thanks for all of the comments guys!! I wish I had some better pictures for you guys, most of them are just progress pictures, the bay really does look good when its all put together. I actually fabbed up everything that I could including the Intercooler, IC Piping, Manifold, Downpipe, Dumptubes, Alternator bracket, Catch Can, Roll Cage, Valve Cover, Traction Bar, etc etc. I guess thats why it has been such a long process. As of know, I just need to convert my steering rack, and then start putting it back together for startup, hopfully I will have some time around Christmas to work on it. As far as the Carbon roof goes, there will be a roof "cap" and a roof "replacement" avalible, and I just plan on racing for fun, not so much competition, so I am not sure on the regulations, but I am sure if they allow a sunroof plug, that the cap would be just fine. If I get a little more time I will make a "build thread" and post everything up for you guys.
Also, I forgot to add. In a world of riced out Honda's, big shiny mufflers, and it seems everyone has a front mount, I decided to make my car appear as "sleeperish" as possible. I wanted to keep the look of just a clean lines with nothing giving away whats inside (besides the sound). The FMIC has been anodized black, I still have the stock exhaust on with the 4" downpipe, and 2-2" dumptubes, dumping under the car, and the downpipe splits to the stock exhaust but opens up via an E-Cutout, so it can be quiet if I want. No big fuel pump and sump dragging on the ground and I did a custom surge setup. No gauges on dash or pillars, 6- Defi gauges mounted, 3 on steering column, and 3 above the radio, with all electronics matching the stock color scheme, and full interior except for the rear backrest of the seat, and trunk carpet missing, and the cage isn't that visible due to the 5% tint haha, so I am looking forward t the WTF experssion on peoples faces when I get it going haha. And for the record, I did 12.8's with the stock motor, pieced together turbo setup with an sc44 at 8psi, so I hope my good driving skills are retained, since it has been about 3 years since I have driven a turbo FWD car, so I have my fingers crossed that everything goes well.

I don't know much about turbos, but what kind of turbo is that?
I swear from what little I know, I'd say it was a "disco potato" haha
Well it is a Borg Warner. I originally had a Prescision GT35R, and this is pretty much the BW version...but it is non BB so if it breaks I can rebuild it, It is divided, and it should spool faster, has much larger housing avalibility and make 100+ more HP that the 35R, so for street driving it is going to be perfect.

*faint* omg that is the most amazing engine bay ever lol the turbo is like bigger than on a f-350 holy **** any idea how much boost it will put out?
Hey thanks. Well it should make between 400-500whp at 11-12psi, but if I really want some big numbers, these turbos LOVE high pressure ratios, and it flows 80lbs a min, so for 800whp 35+ psi would be needed, and I have seen them just at 40psi on evo's.
