b1ack's 93 DX coupe build

By b1ack
- Mon Jul 08, 2013 2:07 pm #333999 New to the Forum and starting my first build thread. 1993 EJ DX Coupe b7

I am quite new to the Honda world, with only on one build so far.. My Canadian 98' Acura EL D16y8 which now sits low with a 99 y8 swapt on gsr blades.

Here is the car when I got it, a few weeks ago, on the trailer home.
Since then I have pulled the interior up to the dash, so I can get a better look at the rocker panels I am needing to replace.

5-Speed

F and R lower tie bars

Full dual core rad (brand yet determined)

And the big H sticker is long gone... [smilie=drunken_smilie.gif]

- Mon Jul 08, 2013 11:03 pm #334026 My build plans will definitely be based around money.. I don't have a lot to spend. I have $500 into buying the car, and have about $1800 to invest in some jdm power.

Body work is first, I need to cut and weld in new rockers, including some work before the rear wheels to the floor. So to avoid the body shop and learn some better welding skills, I picked up a welder..
Lincoln 140 $500 at Canadian Tire. Keeping the paint job as is.. for now.

The D15 in the car is smoking White and Blue.. So I don't even want to bother with it.

So I have ideas of a b16a or b18b

What the car is going to sit on, suspension and wheel wise, is still unknown.. ??$$?? (Dreaming of Koni Yellows and GC + Rota slips)

I want to slam this baby.



Ready for rockers to be rebuilt.

Overall pretty solid floors

And a dirty trunk.. Image

Just waiting on contacting a local metal fab shop to get some rockers bend up, and will also buy all the sheet metal I need off them, as they always give me awesome deals.

And I have to pick up a air-cut off tool for when i will start cutting.

Cheers. Ian :headbang:

Under the hood by the battery I find this

I have read through a few "adding vtec" forums on here, But will have to sit down and do some more research to tell what is done here.

Still waiting on a bottle of shielding gas and to contact my sheet metal shop up the road. peace.
