Rice2Nice's 89 Si slow build

By Rice2NiceEG
- Mon Mar 17, 2008 10:48 pm #46541 So I've been wanting to make a thread for this for a while now, but i didnt want to be the random ef'er on the site. so since teal made seperate ride forums i thought it was time to jump on the thread wagon.


this is what it looks like to date





future mods:

Suspension:
Function Form type II coilovers
Skunk2 front and rear Camber Kits
Skunk2 lower control arms
Skunk2 extended wheel studs and lug nuts
Eibach sway bars

Engine:

whatever header i can get my mits on
new Innovative billet mounts
new teg axles
new teg halfshaft
new shift linkage
new intake (the riciest fake cf one i can find)


love/hate let me have it. all comments are welcome. but i dont really care about what parts you think i should buy. ive had enough time to think about how i want MY car, I've thought of all the possibilities and I've got my ducks in a row.

As for your car, you sure do have it tore apart! I'm thinking about rebuilding my ef (winter car), so i might learn something from your thread. Looking forward to the build.

- Tue Mar 18, 2008 12:52 am #46555 thanks guys i think the garage is about 20' x 24'? it's nice, but kinda small... when i use a lift theres like no room to move around...

I'm almost done paying off my coupe, then i gotta get some gangster ink, and then i'm dumpin all my money into this. hopefully around $1800 a month. theres alot more parts i plan on adding to the list, but i'm just focusing on the body and suspension for now.

You've been working on hondas for a while now or is this your first big project?


well my second car was an 89 si that me and my dad did a ton of body work to, and then i added the usual ebay bolt ons (i was 16) thats the only car ive done a decent amount of work on, the rest were beaters!

- Tue Mar 18, 2008 5:18 am #46586 I miss the garage a lot man. Chillin out BS'in and jammin out to Pantera. I Almost want to fly back to Ohio just to hang out in the garage. I'm pretty sure either Keith or Phalin or Adam might have pics of it before I'll make some calls tomorrow.

The garage is small but its BA. Perfect for the project car. This thread is missing 2 things though. The huge stack of HondaTunings and that tat on your left forearm.

I'm a big CRX lover, used to own a Civic ED7 twice and a CRX ED9 before I got my coupé... still miss them :lol:

If I hadn't spend so much time and money on my coupe, I would have bought a nice EE8 or EE9, old school ftw!
