I'm jealous of your JY finds.
I live in a rather large city and nearly all of the JY's are plundered for 99-00 parts.

I want to find a new bumper for mine ><

Otherwise, keep it up!

another kick to the nuts today... discovered that the trunk rust caused by the ricer mods, is a lot worst than I hoped, but I will not quit on it, I will repair it.

real heart breaker, trunk floor badly rusted.

It's unbelievable that the trunk floor is so rusted, these cars are only 15 y/o... Crazy!!!
**** if we don't start taking care of these EM1's and rescuing them, they will all be gone soon.

Here's a rostisserie I plan on making for my VW resto, maybe you could use it.

I miss my coupe now. Keep up the good work. It'll be interesting to see where this goes.

Are you in US or in Germny ? I'm kind of confused sorry. I am eagerly waiting to see the progress of your build, I myself own a 2000 EBP EM1 that's currently just standing on my driveway blocked in by two police issue crown vics. I've had 3 consecutive theft attempts within about 3 month period 2 of them on 2 consecutive days. I chased the bastards down the block barefoot in boxers and t shirt at 130am. The police didnt catch them and even if they do the bastards never learn. I swear if I catch someone effin with my Si again I'm dragging their *** into my basement and beating the living turd out of them followed by ripping out their fingernails and breaking their fingers with a sledgehammer. People like that and the junkyard vandal you speak of will never learn. I believe that in 1999 there was 5000 EM1s made in each color <Flamenco Black Pearl, Milano Red and Electron Blue Pearl> and the same amount was produced in the following year 2000. I'm not sure if anyone can confirm this 100% but if that's true then out of the 10000 1999-2000 EBPs I would say half of them are gone judging by how often I see them stolen , wrecked or destroyed completely. I have a feeling that the 1999-2000 Si will be to our generation what the classic muscle cars of the 60-70 are to out parents generation. Eventually when I get out of medical debt and save up enough to rebuild my Si I would love to bring it back to its original glory and beef it up. There's a tuning shop out of Pennsylvania that built a 4WD civic using CR-V and the old Civic 4WD Wagon parts. I think it would be interesting to build a 500+ HP 4WD EM1 Beast. And even if I can't do that , bringing her back to stock with beefed up internals and a N/A build that's pushing over 200HP will be sufficient to me. The EM1 was is and always will be my dream car. I tip my hat to you sir and I will be patiently waiting updates on your build!

Best Regards

Seb everything you said is completely accurate. From the thieves, accidents, rust, rice and all else, these cars(EM1) and specifically the EBP's will be unicorns in the next 25 years.

We must form a brotherhood of EBP owners and swear to protect these beauties hahahaha. But honestly we must. I'm going to see about creating a dedicated EBP site for us owners.

Stay tuned!

I am in Germany, But this car is a US spec EM1, the car chassis is completely naked will clean and repaint the underside and getting the suspension sandblasted. then its full speed ahead. debating to myself on shaving the engine bay, but not important, might just remove only the extra studs from the firewall since I'm doing brake
line and wire tuck. I need to finish this car since I may have to return to the US soon. I am from Miami and I know thieves breathe down there, but note I'm a expert shooter with a lot of practice. one shot one kill.

Check out this rust from my old 99 EM1 I found when I lifted the carpet back in 2011. Car only had 61k Original miles.

JoshuaVTEC

Nice work man. I'm the original owner of my 00 EBP, and it has 65k miles on it. I brought it to the UK when I was stationed there, it was tough to work on my car there and I'm thinking you're going to need that running well in order for TMO to ship that back to the US? Good luck, they were very **** with mine. They even wanted a letter from the EPA saying it was a "catalyst vehicle"...I explained it CAME from the US but you know, rules are rules. Headache!

Snafu-Si

Kudos for some amazing work done there.

Keep it all up, Germany sounds nice, way way better than Houston Texas. Mosquitoes aren't carrying diseases to you. They're also not carrying your small pets away to feast on their flesh. Like they do in Houston.

I used to work for the EPA importing vehicles. Most of which were Military personnel vehicles. I was doing all the hmmm.. what was it called, 3520-1 EPA forms you had to fill out to bring cars in and out and such. A lot of running around and getting info from people, and getting all the forms setup.

Then waiting for my lazy *** director to sign off on them. His job was to consistently sleep in his cubicle snoring loud enough to wake the dead. 6 figure job to sleep in his cubicle. Wonderful tax dollars at work.

But hey, it was still better than Houston Texas.

might be more quiet and peaceful, but a pain in the *** to live, I am weeks away from retiring from the Army and thinking of staying here until my children are grown and out of school, but the US job market sucks here since the Government is reducing the size of the military they are cutting jobs left to right, nothing but unemployed civilians due to Government cuts to create jobs for the locals. but we'll see how it goes in the following months.

it seems you hate Texas a lot, why not just relocate instead of the extreme bashing? from what I see on the news the entire United States is out of control, from Police executing harmless civilians, school shootings to all the gun crazed anti current president rednecks, its a war zone, so you might as well move to Canada.

How did you fix that rust?
I beleive mine was caused by the original owner building a subwoofer enclosure in the spare tire well, and using the roof drain tubes holes to run the wires for his under body neon lights leaving the tubes evacuating water inside the trunk instead of outside, also multiple holes were drilled to drain said water. lol. RICERS!!!

I hope u send back one of these builds to Jamaica.

joey1320

This is insane... Can't believe this was under the carpet on such a newer car.
How did you go about fixing it?

still collecting parts.

I am originally from Poland, I moved to USA over 21 years ago. I also have family in Germany and I have been there on several occasions , besides spending a couple of years trying to learn te language there would be nothing stopping me from moving there. It's clean as hell ( at least the parts I visited ) youre only few hours away ( flight wise ) from other awesome countries like UK, Ireland, Spain etc etc ( pretty much all the kick *** European countries ) You get paid in euros which are worth like 1.6 x times more than the US Dollar, I heard you get 10K euros for having a kid ( not sure if that's true ) I just heard US Citizens will get free tuition in college the other day. From what I gathered cost of living in comparison to earnings is way better there than in US. So if you already have kids that go to school there why not just brush up on your German language skills , get that free schooling and get a good job there ? if I was you that's what I would do, You would be way better off in my opinion but its just my opinion. Plus another positive side to being in Germany with the EM1 is that market for civic thieves is probably a lot smaller than here in USA. If you drive a EBP EM1 here in US or even have a wannabe clone that's been painted EBP you might as well hire one of those royal UK guards to stand by it and guard it 24/7 or move to east bumfu*k where no one knows about the import scene lol

I actually bought an EG hatch and swapped the motor into it. After swapping the motor I just sold the shell.
