Picked up a set of 4 new BFG r1's off craigslist for $500. Two tires were already mounted to the guys fd rx7 wheels. For another $100 he threw in the wheels.

Sexy ... but did you do any work today?
Ummm... not on the odyssey unfortunately.
I did sell a car, which is what pays for these shenanigans, then I drove to st augustine to pick up the wheels. Then I partially reinstalled the sunroof on my 4runner so that the chevelle could go back into the garage where it belongs.
The odyssey work is coming...
Previously mentioned coilovers from craigslist $25.00.
Ebay koni's $130
Mounting the other two R1's.
So when you buy off CL do you show up in your JSO car as a negotiating tactic?
Not really, it probably would act as a deterrent... 
I still remember you coming over to my friend's house to look at the Challenge Miata. Later his wife walked out and asked if the neighbors had called the cops on us again. We professed our innocence that time at least.
Started the process of installing the engine.
So much room
Dirty Valve Covers
A little wrinkle paint...
Type-R!
...and then it started to rain 
Hopefully this week we can get it into the engine bay.
where are you working on it? the exterior lift confuses me.
In reply to bluej:
He's in Jacksonville.
Exterior lifts are fairly common in the South.
What's the plan for the van after the challenge?
Sell it of course. Should be plenty of people that want a lsd equipped manual transmission van.
Add me to the list of those interested in buying.
Got a chance to work on the van yesterday after work.
Well the engine fits, it was not as easy as i had hoped but nothing insurmountable presented itself. We still need to finalize the front a rear mounts and fab the side mount and transmission mounts.
I used the oem odyssey rear subframe and the 1998 cl 3.0 front subframe. The front and reae engine mounts are off of the 2003 acura CL.
Will this challenge van have working AC?
There appears to be room. I am planning on it.
Awesome work!
Any updates?
I am much busier at work now thanks to a new position. It doesn't look like i will have the time to finish the Odyssey as originally planned especially not in time for the challenge.
That means two things. First if any one wants to purchase said acura cl / van project let me know because I would love to see it finished.
Second i bought this Friday 
It runs a drives well and my r1's will fit it. I do have enough time to throw some ebay coilovers and a cold air intake on it. I figure i can find the time to gut the hell out of it as well. Watch out...
I'm a little sad because i wanted to see this thing at the challenge, but i am also happy because you have doubled down on your commitment to the minivan class and will still be going!
Message me. If we can work out a deal, I may be able to get something arranged.
Doubt I could make it to even 2017 though haha!

Beans,
I've had two cars shipped from Pimpm3's place to here in Sandusky this year. Most recent cost $450 but that was a running car (over 4,000 lb Nissan Quest minvan.)
I'll help you figure out shipping if you go that route.
You'll need to log in to post.
