Casey's 1992 Civic Si build

Re: Casey's 1992 Civic Si build
thanks for the compliments. Ive had a used Mugen and a PLM today rep, both on other cars and they are both excellent headers. I just get scared with the Mugen's ground clearance and wanted to go all out and get the real deal, but never had a single issue with my PLM toda

went tax refund ballin and picked this gem up. Found it on a SE regional facebook group. It is in mint shape! No cracks or scratches, all tabs are intact. Very happy with it. Going to get it painted along with a second set of side skirts so I can swap out between the black ones and ex/sir front lip

I would respond but I dont fight retards. Sorry fam
Thanks bruh me too. This one is way nicer than the one I had for the teal car. Im taking it to bobby with a spare set of skirts and my vision mirrors to get some paint on them soon
I finally got a chance to work on the car some more. I had Jordan finish up the wire for the fuel pump signal while I swapped headers out. The Toda header definitely looks at home in the bay.
Side by side of the Comptech vs Toda. The Toda has nearly 2" more ground clearance!!
Jordan bench bled the master cylinder and hooked the lines up. I bolted everything up on the pedals for the CMC and the BMC so that they can be bled soon, and adjusted the e brake cables. I routed the harness under the dash as well so that everything can be put back in place soon.
After that, I was able to get the ride height adjusted. I went as low as recommended by Progress and it turns out its pretty much spot on with how I wanted it to look. Through the front bumper and skirts on to get me excited about finishing everything up. Front will need some adjustment to get everything lined back up but its gonna look awesome. Car will need a thorough cleaning and polishing but Ive had the products for that since Black Friday ready to go!

Got a bit more done this weekend. We bled the brakes on Friday night to get it movable. Trailered it to Honda for an alignment. Was able to get it dialed in so that I wont shred tires from the tow being out of wack. Its ready to get the exhaust fitted and get on the road. I love how it looks at this height but Im debating raising it up some for practicality. Too low for fender liners and possible rub issues up front, even with the 6.5" wheels and an effective offset of +40.
Mugen pedals and brand new oems, plus a new dome light lense
Installed the Mugen
Header is turning a nice shade
another $200 worth of random OEM parts

She's a beauty! Excellent job so far, can't believe I've been sleeping on this build thread. I've seen this car in person before it was painted, it has been taken care of very weel and glad to see it's in good hands now.
I bought the wheels/tires that were on this car before it was parted out, they're on my coupe now:
The same person painted my coupe too.

Bobby does an excellent job. He painted my ITR and multiple cars of Brice as well. Thats a good looking coupe and paint looks great as to be expected
going to do my best!
