ORANGE EF

this build started this past august. i got the car for free as a BARE shell. i had to spend a few weeks finding suspension components to get it to look like this.




i spent the next couple of days looking for body panels and a door. went n craigslist and found a crx that had lost control and smashed into a tree on the pass door and 1/4 panel. i got everything for $200








the interior was TRASHED


my dad helping lol



finished ripping up the carpet and other crap. got some interior pieces as well




picked up a slightly modded jdm b18c and a ys1 gsr tanny. also got a rmf narrow rep header






body work and paint

























legal and running

ORANGE EF

it was supposed to be Satin black. i wanted a stealthy look. i painted it myself. this was my very first time ding body work and paint. i leaned a few things from my mistakes and i plan to repaint it soon

the valve cover is a vinyl wrap

Was the 12.05 ET on slicks? good times either way.

beansandrice

1/4 mile or 1/8th?

ORANGE EF

i used high temp paint from autozone. i cleaned the motor up with purple power and afterwards sanded the engine and transmission with 300 grit paper

ORANGE EF

yes 22's. i had my 2step set a tad low which stopped me from getting a better 60 foot. if i can pull a 1.8 o 1.7 i should have a 11 sec time slip

ORANGE EF

funny

at first pix looked like it was going to be some ghetto build, what a surprise. great stuff man

project91crxsi

thats a crazy transformation, i love how it looks now, nice motor too

ORANGE EF

ghetto... no. inexpensive... yes. i have no more than 5k invested in the entire car

Around how much did you spend?

things i dig: the shifter, the badass header, and the valve cover
things i dont dig: the camo (surprised noone has hated on it yet)

awsome build though, looks like alot of work has gone into it for sure. how long did it take?

also, a bud has those wheels on his ef sedan, they are one of the sickest sets of wheels for an ef imo.
