Default J Swapped Rando Sports EK Build Thread ** TONNES OF PICS & VIDS**

OK. So the car is finished and running so I gathered up all the pics I have and thought I would make a build thread here to share with everyone.

Many thanks to Dan T., Gitano S., Pino, Terry B., Nebyu, and Fe9L.

I dont really remember the exact timeline of everything but here are the pics.

2007/2008

Old GSR motor



Old GSR motor out



Subframe, steering rack, and control arms out



Found an old skool Bride seat and a DC5 R wheel at a local JDM importer




EG subframe, steering rack, and control arms installed



Fuel Stuff




K20 meets EK4




All finished and running





New Kicks




Random in the rain pic





New Toys



Out with the old in with the new (r-crew is the lower one)



And finally the beloved RBC



Newest addition




2009 updates





Rando Kit and Seeker Wing Painted







Mini Shoot early early this year







BYE BYE K20.... Hello J32





















Speedo and Tach use different signal or something so to correct the problem....

'03 CL Type S 6spd Cluster



Just a few pages of the wiring



Sitting in the dash



All lit up ready to go.



Prototype SHAKER Honda Edition Hood lol








cluster and speedo work bueno



Pics of the 99% finished hood.








UPDATED 5 LUG PICS




















Pic from Honda Tech Meet 6 in Toronto.



And finally how it sits now.





Here are some vids.

Dyno Vid. I was at some VW show and they had a portable dyno set up. I figured why not. Motor is stock and untuned.




A few vids of me at the track. Best time was 13.1 @105mph. 1.9 60ft. I was on old falken 615's again untuned stock motor/ecu. Good times lol









That is all for now I hope you enjoyed.

This is bloody fantastic! I personally think a nice touch would be to modify the front plug cover to house a H badge rather than the Acura one.
