Super excited to watch the build and learn/follow along with you! Bought my ES1 four months ago and absolutely fell in love with the way it drove and felt and looked. Unfortunately some shenanigans went down, and the timing belt tensioner we put in when we bought it failed and we bent the valves. Bought what we thought was a D17A1 head assembly after verifying pistons were okay but the yard had it marked wrong so we ended up buying a D17A2 head assembly. We took the cam assembly out of the old head and threw it into the (new) one to bypass the vtec in the engine since the car doesn't have a module for it. Its been running for about a month now but around 1500-1700rpm under load it can't seem to hold a steady rpm and bounces around the range, and instead of trying to fix that I'm just going to swap it for something much more fun. Will definitely be taking notes! Looking forward to watching the whole build!

@@MyntyFwesh thanks man! I appreciate that, I already posted the whole series on how to do the kswap! Just click my profile and the whole series is there and man sounds like it was not fun dealing with D series problems. I had issues with my d series so had to go k and I must say, it’s been muuchhh better! I wish you luck my man! It’ll be fun haha

Great job dude! My dad had a mid range Special Edition in blue and 8 year old me was planning out a K-series swap, because the car looks great. He sold it but I'm definitely buying an ES2 after I sell my EM2 which has turned out to be a bit of a clunker. Best part is in Canada the EX was called Si with Si badging, so I can still call it an Si.

Thank you! And oh wow I see, definitely get an Es2, they’re so damn cool and oh wow I didn’t know they had an si es2, that’s pretty sweet but good luck with the kswap!!

@@khevenlagos thanks bro I might K swap to begin with I've got another friend who's also been planning an ES2 build with a k swap but I'm honestly thinking of doing something new for this platform which is probably ambitious but a J swap would be fun to try. Only difficulty I have choosing between EM2 and ES2 is that the coupe roof line looks really nice, but I've always liked the sedan rear until I started looking at modified coupes. It'll be a hard choice so it'll boil down to what I find first in the cleanest condition because I can't pick one over the other

Good job I’ll like to see more
