#283656 So I recently joined this site because it has tons of useful info and nice ideas! Here is my EG so far, I guess I can start my build...?

Here we go: (feel free to give me some input or ideas? :thumb: )

Car when first purchased
Image

looked like a mess...... in my opinion


Sorry I did not have too many pictures of my car when first purchased or as was doing a lot of the work on the car.... :?

Here is some of the things I took out and also a few things I swapped into my interior:
(NOTE: My interior was Completely stock other than the driver’s side recaro and passenger gsr seat, just didn’t have pics)


removed these seats, I want to eventually put in two Black DC2 recaros!
Image
Image

Put in an ek center console unit:
Image

originally had an SIR cluster:
Image
It had some problems however, so I swapped it with an S2K AP1 cluster:
Image

bought a aftermarket assembled wiring harness:
Image
Image
Image

Here is my interior as of today:

-Replaced the door panel inserts with black synthetic leather and red stitch
-E-brake boot and shift boot were replaced as well to black with red stitch, the shift boot is an Genuine Honda CTR boot.
-The EK console is in place, jut needs to be painted black
-Two front seats were replaced with another pair of GSR seats, saving up for my black DC2 recaros
-S2K cluster with CF bezel (bezel needs some work, this was my first attempt)
-JVC deck with two color tone to match my S2K cluster
-Rear speakers and brackets installed
-I installed a rear window wiper because we need it here in Canada during the winter LOL...
-Pioneer sub in the back

As for the exterior:

-Have not done too much so far, it needs lots of work... I have two new bumpers and fenders sitting in my garage, will be doing most of the body work myself in the spring
:thumb:

-Over the last summer I did an ITR 4x114.3 lug spindle swap with ITR 15" rims :D
-four wheel disk conversion!

Image
Image
Image
(They sent me one wrong spindle.... but it got exchanged in the end!)
Image
Image

JDM B16a swapped in when I bought the car:
Image
Image

engine is in excellent running condition, just needs to be cleaned up a little, and hide the wires better.

Also did a Bi-Xenon HID D2S Mini Projector Retrofit:

clean cut off 8)

here is my fogs after recent installation, 6000K HID bulb with yellow lens to give me a nice lime green light
(bit of a bad picture, the light output is a bit lighter than what is seen here)
Image

now the car as it looks today (winter time...)

Image

Car is lowered with a 1.5" drop on some skunk2 Pro Series coilovers. All bushings have been changed to polyurethane, and I am using some skunk2 LCA's with an ASR bracer. Working on getting some sway bars eventually, but in the mean time this eg feels great on the corners :D


car still needs lots of body work, and a few more things for the interior... Still my project car, hope you guys will all have some nice inputs?

Thanks for looking!

#283705 thanks for the comments guys! :thumb:

from TrailerTrash

The front wheels are some sort of BBS and the rears I have no idea lol
I bought the car without the rims in the picture, those were the previous owners. When I bought the car, I slapped on my honda steelies cuz they had brand new winter tires

:D

I personally did not like either of the rims on the car when I bought the car, so I told him to keep them that way I could work out some sort of a deal 8)

right now I have 4x114.3 15" ITR rims for the spring/summer and some 98-02 15" accord wheels for the winter :)

#289030 Dang, I'm thinking about doing the S2K AP1 Gauge cluster swap too. Looks so clean. One question, did you hand paint that Red Honda Logo? Lol.
Where did you get that?
