its been so long since i've last posted in this forum here is the car's current state however i have a dilemma that i want to share with you plan to swap this on a honda integra type r dc5 that was converted from right to left (since we cannot drive right hand drives here) there are still convertions to be done like the wiper, gas tank opener and hood. The engine is built with some intake and exhaust upgrades plus some cf hood also. The owner wants me to add cash to his ride since he has a newer car what do you think guys?

Damn, he's asking you to swap your build with cash for his project DC5?
In the end if you're already bored and don't see yourself progressing with the Domani then do it! Try something new, plus I see Marc's been having big plans with his sedan. How was the conversion done? Properly with a LHD dash and steering rack, or did they just flip the stock one?

This is the frontend I'm looking for. Can I get the yr range it came from? Also how much were your seats?

tony_2018

You don't need to convert all of that. We'll need pics of that dc5 but I would still keep the domani build civic. How much for the frontend and interior?

He's from the Philippines, there are legal issues regarding conversions, and the way they do it is quite different

You can get the front end from 96-00 Acura 1.6 EL's in Canada, if you try to buy his front end and interior, you should be expecting to spend up to $5,500+

tony_2018

Man if you're telling me he has to convert a gas tank fill hole to the other side than **** that, no trade.

Not easy for me to find someone in canada selling those front end, might ask jdmtiger but I've never bought a frontend from them....yet.

Lol, true i didn't quite catch that.

Well, shipping ground from Canada is much much much much easier than getting anything from the Philippines. Also, his Airwalker bumper on this Domani is custom, I know of one other person who has done it.

But what yr domani do I look for to get that specific frontend, I like the headlights on this one.

EDIT: tsk...ebay canada.......duuuuhhhh

@tony_2018: got the front cut here for $420 with radiator and aircon condenser and the whole rear end. I think it was 98-00 year spec. The interior I got it for around the same $400-500ish. The things I still need to convert are the wipers, gas tank opener, hood and trunk all of it are still on the right side of the car.

@CO761: Yup I've customized my own bumper. I'm not really bored with the car its a blast to drive always make me smile when the boost hits but I think I need to get a new project to make me busy again with cars plus I'm waiting for so long for my other car to be finished. It's still in the paint shop that's another story. The picture you posted is a friend of mine, Nathan he's from canada. You know Marc from New Jersey?Here's what he wants from the deal. My car plus my 16x7.5 ce28 with ad08 (almost new) plus $4500 or straight cash $7200 I'm counter offering with domani + $4500 he's still thinking about it.

@Mr_Canadia: Nope still uses the stock supports for the radiator won't affect it with the conversion.

Here's some recent picture of my car with my other car that's an ongoing project right now

The Acura EL is quite common here. You wouldn't have too much trouble finding one. They sold very well.

I've also bought 2 engines and a transmission from Tiger Japanese. They have mixed reviews online, but I have had very positive experiences. I have personally been in the warehouse a few times...they have half-cars stacked on top of other half-cars...and engines stacked on top of engines, with either nothing in between or a simple piece of plywood. I wouldn't buy things like body panels (or in your case, a front clip) unless you can personally hand-pick it in person like I did with my engines.

:D finally a photo of the GTR. I remember hearing that you had a Z before but then upgraded to a GTR and still had your Domani. looking great !

Jose Aliling

@CO671: yup but the r35 is still in the shop it's been so long maybe 2 more months before its done. Should I push through with the swap?what do you think?Another question SSR SP1 or Advan RG for the domani?

tony_2018

Whats going on the GTR? Please tell me its upgrades....

Jose Aliling

new bodykit, new wing, change color, new wheels, updated headlights/tailghts (2015) after the paint maybe some GT600 if I still have a budget

Jose Aliling

Has anyone seen here a hood exit with covers?like the one they use on some trailer trucks?

tony_2018

Hood exits with covers? You mean hoods that have scoops but the opening is actually covered? For the Civic, never seen them but on a tacoma x-runner they have em. You think you can give me the contact info of your supplier for the vi-rs interior?

SportEL

Nice Build. Where is the front bumper from?

Jose Aliling

@SportEL: its custom made based on the BYS bumper that I got before.

@tony_2018: ditched the plan on going hood exit just made it side exit this time. It's an orthia interior but if you want a Vi-RS there's a lot of them selling here in the Philippines.

tony_2018

How much? WTF I thought you were stateside?

edit: Orthia? Damn thats a nice color for the seats. I might just want the seats because for me to convert the door panels it might be a hassle. I'll find grey interior here and get the seats plus buy a new black carpet.

Jose Aliling

@tony_2018: it cost me around Php20k before but i think the price went up recently.

just want to share some progress on my gtr

Jose Aliling

this is my friends car nathan kowalski he visited here this year that's why i met him he has a few monster cars right now in his garage 1 s2k, 1 boosted s2k, 1 nsx, and a white gtr too.

tony_2018

Oh Jesus, every time I see this thread it just makes me drool.
