dude be serious tho... got a mugen tat and all.
after the restoration of the body is completed, what's your direction with this? stock? mugen everything?
Thanks man, I cant wait to finally drive this thing haha, I dont really uave a specific direction as far as mugen or spoon or typical type r builds go but I am a fabricator and I really enjoy doing all my own custom stuff so I will go that direction mainly. Custom parts that i built myself and it will be mixed street and track use.

Yah i have resized alot of these pictures and they are still huge. Flickr is my image host and it seems that they initially load at some crazy resolution. They always scale down though. Ive viewed them on multiple devices and browsers. Ill try to upload them at a smaller resolution
Re: SHG has another - JDM DC2R- Project/Restoration/Build
Another SHG build that will be way over the top and I'm going to love every minute of it! Awesome job so far taking on this huge build and saving this beauty! Looking forward to more updates.
PS my IT guy at work messaged me and told me to quit hogging "bandwidth" guess it was the pictures from page 3 lol oops
Re: SHG has another - JDM DC2R- Project/Restoration/Build
HEYYY! Soooo no big updates from the bodyshop, they have been swamped with work so I have been in update purgatory here , but Brittany's car has been getting a bunch of updates lately. She had recently purchased an FD2 rep front bumper (fd1 width) and some FD1 carbon fenders from a friend of ours Ashton in NJ in preparation to start her FD2 conversion, so for christmas I got her some FD2 headlights and brackets, FD2 side skirts, and front emblem. I also snagged her an FD2 throttle body from our good friends at AFHkparts.com. Needless to say she was pretty stoked

Re: SHG has another - JDM DC2R- Project/Restoration/Build
OK, since I'm stuck in limbo with body shop updates i figured id let you guys have a peek at the wheels for the car. Advan RG 15x7 +31 I love love love 6 spoke wheels and Advans are one of my all time favorites. I picked these up from my buddy SHG_Mike when he had a usdm 97R for a short bit after he decided to sell. 205/50-15 R888 take-offs will do the trick for its maiden voyage. Also here are a few pictures i snapped at the body shop a few months ago after it had its first big surgical procedure. I know its not much of an update but I figure its something. If it wasn't so darn cold out and my garage wasn't so packed full id snap some 5lug and mugen suspension pics for you guys, but alas I am a big baby.

interesting, im gonna try this lol. I get beautiful women(latinas are my weakness ), but none into cars, the struggle is too real lol. Liking the advan wheels, the integra is coming together very nicely bro
Re: SHG has another - JDM DC2R- Project/Restoration/Build
First time I've seen this thread! Nice to see some progress on eR. Those Advans are going to look perfect, so glad you got those off Mike. Even though I think you should have cut the car up and turned it into a car bed IMO. :shrugs:

Thanks bro! Actually after its done and I don't get any support or praise from the so-cal pretend track car guys for spending a billion dollars on name brand parts I'm just going to cut the roof off and make it a race car chez lounge that i can cry in while i cruise nwp4life with a pint of icecream in my lap.

BTW, those Advans will be perfect!
Thats nice to hear, having a partner thats into the same hobby helps to ease tension in a relationship. I really can't say enough about having my girlfriend acknowledge the importance of my hobby and lifestyle and embrace it and be part of it with me:thumb up: and Thank you!

Wicked project dude and huge props for tackling this.
Haha, yah there is a lot of misinformation on the internet and in the car world in general. Ive worked in the industry professionally for 10 years and I have heard all the hilariousness 10x over.
Thanks!
