but do i see foglights, a lip, ....maybe an intercooler? ;)

stoked for the updates, any word on a meet ?


Got the plans pretty much down, Type-R Poly Lip, as well as 99-01 Odyssey Fog Lights

Image

They will fit right into EG coupe/hatch foglight holes. They sale the EG Fog light kit as an option for Odyssey's from honda as well.

No intercooler though.

As for Seat Recommendation

I like how EG Coupe/hatch seats feal, the Sedan seats are a little taller and dont feel as comphy, however they wont look good in a ek. You can get Integra DC Seats as they are super comptable, and will look good in an ek. Leather seats are really really comphy, however when its cold they are quite cold, and stay cold for a while.

I am Loosing coolant and not sure where its going. I know the heater core is leaking however even after looping that out of the system water still disappears, No leaks showing up, all coolant lines look good. I'm guessing the head gasket went. I will be putting in a new heater core as well as a new head gasket.

New Goodies for 2011: Round 1
Sorry about the crappy picture quality. I didn't have my Digital Camera handy so I used my phone.

Part 1 of my Fog lights
Image
A Passwordjdm.com Sedan fog light Kit. Bought it from a Civic-eg Member I met at our Local Honda-Meets. Need to get Odyssey Foglights off ebay and then start the install after the Paint Job.

Acura EL Front Leather Seats
I Originally skipped over these seats when I bought the rear seats and installed them in my car. However I went back and talked to the owner and got a much better deal on them so I grabbed them up.

Image

Image
This is the worst of the seat. I will be adding more padding and then sowing this up through the holes aready in the seat.

Image
This is the only thing on the passenger seat that needs attention, Not sure what I will do about it yet.

Once the weather warms up I will be converting the garage into a paint booth and the Sedan will become EBP. Missed my Goal of before the end of 2010, However it will be a new shinier blue with more Goodies installed come spring of 2011. This is a Time Frame I plan on keeping this time around. If we have a Summer Civic-eg Pacific NW Meet this will be going to in it full glory.

I Do have a Coupe/Hatch Bumper. However the Foglghts I bought where for a Sedan Bumper. I got them as I only wanted the wiring and I got them for a good deal.

I hit up my Local junkyards every week scoping out whats new. When I see something good I pounce on it.

Good repairing leather? Not Yet. However I'm sure I will be when I am done with this. The Third pic shows a small rip on the passenger seat. That pictured didn't turn out very good. I will take better pics with my Real Digital Camera and leave my smart phones camera alone. Sad thing is those are pics after tweaking the colors in photoshop so you can actually see them.

The overheating thing is getting on my nerves. I cant wait to get the sedan fixed as I can stop daily driving the Delsol. It got 19mpg in town. 19! I need to get the sedan running agian with out over heating for that glorous D Series MPG's.

Noone posted they wanted to do it really besides you. I'm down to do one in spring once the Sedan is running. I dont really want to have to drive the delsol to portland or eugene. The Sedan with its HX Transmission on the other hand will be no problem to go that far.

If we do a Summer one I will have all my cool stuff in there. all my seats will be leather, The Sedan will be Electron Blue Pearl. my Carbon Fiber hood will be in better shape. I will have my odyssey fog lights installed, my DVD player installed, and so much more. Plus then you can bring your D16z6 Turbo'd EK.

- Fri Jan 28, 2011 5:31 am #235873 Finally fixed my coolant issue. Pulled the z6 out sure it was a Water pump. Once it was out I checked the pump and it looked Brand new. Pulled it and it was definetly new. Then Pulled the head off and checked the Head Gasket. It was also brand new.

Pretty sure they were replaced by the Dealership I bought my Delsol Si from. The Salesman told me that but didn't think it was true.

After putting everything back together with my new heater core and a Bleeder I took off one of my D15b7's I bleed the system very very throughly, After a test drove it and had no more leak. :thumb:

I got tired of the OEM headlights, I put in my Denji Projectors back in.

I painted and Installed my Acura EL valve cover in the same Hugger Orange paint and Black Lettering. Its Painted over Black Wrinkle Finish so the Orange is Wrinkle Finished.

Pictures:
Note: Nevermind the 2006 Timestamp, Pictures are taken from a Digital Camera with a Broken LCD and I cant see the menus to remove them, Will be getting a Decent camera that isn't broken soon.
