I finished the car the car recently the day before IFO las vegas may 2013. After that I went to Eibach 2013 and then Wekfest La. Next event is July 13 Spocom. Every event I had been making the build better. Next event I will try and do a few new things as well. My dream with this is to someday make magazine. Im on the right road. Just will take me sometime and see what happens.



Current state the car sits and I will be going from the beginning to where it is now.






When I brought out the car I never expected how far I have come with the car. I am blessed to have accomplished this much.

Ive been in cars since I was 16 had a few different civics and integras but always had a passion for eg hatches. After my first eg was stolen when I was 19. I started piecing together my H2b and other parts. I had the H2b in my ex-girls car, then in my old JDM front integra, and Now put together in my eg. I have plenty of pictures from over a year now. So be patient with me I will be updating everyday.

Heres my first Eg civic back in 2007 I did a ek front end. Had Evo recaros, built poor mans typer on 150 shot. and a few other goodies. It got stolen in 2009. This one was one that I learned alot on it was my hit and miss car.




Heres my exgirls car that me and her both built.


Then I bought a stock integra traded for an 00 ek four door then traded for this gsr integra. Which was a real good come up. I painted it did the engine bay and also some other goodies but I ended up selling the shell to build my civic





My first CIVIC SI on the tow truck on the way to my shop sometime in Jan/feb 2012. I bought this shell for an amazing price of $500 and had a few goodies on the car. I got really lucky with this shell had clean body and already had 4door door handles and shaved antena.
I found it because he had parts for sale and when I met him up I found this.


At the shop ready for the Makeover!!! lol My intention was to make it to IFO las vegas may 2012 and race. So heres where it began.


BYS wing I also bought from the seller of the eg. Cause of him posting this wing. I found my eg and I bought it especially because it was an si.



Took of all the interior and got all the tar off.



All torn apart getting ready to build the cage and start the long build process. All the metal work was done by my good friend Jesse Hanna aka JSFAB who used to work with Forest ****. I decided to go with a cage the was functional and also looked good. He tucked the cage as much as he could to the sides and top with the ability to still keep full interior.











Started welding the engine bay.


At this point of the build I was going turbo. Fitting up the intercooler.


Stock block H22a1 about to get cleaned up


BOOST 6262 and other Tial goodies


The Head I had originally built it back in 2010 with Baker Cylinder Heads. Stage 3 race port and polish full supertech valvetrain and .5mm oversized valves. Resurfaced head ready to go.


All cleaned up


Skunk2 Manifold


My friends Gsr that we were building and my H22


Big turbo for that small manifold but it held up. wastegate placement sucked!!!!



Dyno time at Churches.



Dyno sheet This is a stock block on e85. Crazy right! I just didnt care and wanted to make it to IFO and see how long It would last.



Video of dyno tune
http://s44.photobucket.com/user/Dj_y...62851.mp4.html


At Ifo Las Vegas May 2012 Unfortunately I didn't get to run. We tried setting two step and ended up uploading a wrong map and didnt have the original. Couldnt get a hold of churches that day cuz of a personal issue that was happening. But ended up loading up on the trailer going out to do my own passes the next day after I got the map. It Was FAST... but really wish I could of gotten a time at IFO.




The setup lasted about 2 weeks till it went out. Only the block gave out rod out the front.



So at this point It was time to finish the build the right way. I tore apart the car completely in one day. Had it bare shell.

to this




Bare Shell not one bolt left on the car.


Rollin on the wood


This is the craziness that was going on at the shop at the time... Dont mind the Boat in the pictures. Its my dads he needed a place to store it. haha my friends turbo eg hatch, 1jz 240sx, sc300 roll cage job and another 240sx full build on that one also.



Getting the cage finished up





Random picture I found
240 coupe with 1jz swap... getting built as a full drift car..


This is it for now. I never knew how time consuming this is. Digging up all the photos and then loading them up on photobucket then organinzing and posting this.. haha but Ill get back on tomorrow add more. Thanks for looking

jrsh0526

great job bro! i seen it at eibach 2013 looks fuckingclean!
keep up the good work!

whitesihatch

sweet stuff. did work make the wheels in the last pic in 16"?

Importdj67

Thanks Ill try and update everyday till I finish the build. I have alot of pictures left...

Yea the wheels on the last picture are work equip 01... I guess the 5 lug came in 5 spoke. But they were real works.

Importdj67

Back again to try and get as much as I can uploaded. After Ifo may 2012 the car sat for a while it was slow progress. I had other Ideas of how I wanted to build it but I knew I couldn't go turbo untill I built a block. So I started putting together H22 darton sleeved block that I bought and started getting parts for it. But then in December 2012 I got accepted in a full time radiology program. Work and school would be difficult and also building a car would come to almost a dead stop. So I decided to part out all my turbo stuff and get a good stock block so I can finish the build and at least enjoy the car.

Moved down to a single bay shop. It was way too packed.


But before I got rid of the two bay I made sure we took advantage of the shop and walls
My friend vince and his well known Integra. Doing the photoshoot here


We gonna party on the boat like rockstars



Now the shop emptied out. We were in here for over two years it was a blast. We spent day and nights here.


Front gussets


More work to the engine bay.




I had picked up the 4x114.3 Sprint Harts for a great deal. They're only 15x7 but +10 offset. I wasn't sure how it would look but in the end came out nice.


Started doing all the shaving in the engine Bay


The cool part of the build is that I can still keep full interior and back seats. I had to modify them a little but they fit.



Next door was a body shop. And I hated doing Body work and wanted the exterior to come out clean so I handed over the shell.



They also primered the car.



Overall They did a good job but IMO they were rushed to get it done and could of done better if they would have taken more time. These engine bay shots are dated at 3/11/13 so thats less than 2 months till IFO. I didnt think I was gonna make it.




I had just picked up a stock h22a1 block got it all cleaned up and started assembling it.



Test fit time. In the picture you can see my huge harmonic balancer. Its a Fuildamper. I really had to cut up the frame rail and get it in there to fit..


I had a problem with the primer. When the body shop primered the engine bay something wasn't mixed right and wouldnt dry so I stripped all the primer of the engine bay. It sucked and I did it all over again. and this time I got to primer the inside





Next I had ordered the full energy master kit with trail arm bushings. Im glad I did this part the car feels solid with these.




Seth over at QSD is great and easy to order with. I ordered the new h2b motor mount bracket and the qsd relocation brackets.




Time for Paint. Everything was wetsanded and time to paint. I dont have any pictures of the paint in the can but it was an amazing color when It was in the can. haha The color is a custom green mix with gold pearl. Ive had this color in mind for a few years now. I knew the guy at the paint store from when we painted my ex-girls blue car and he hooked it up with the idea of adding extra gold pearl in the mix and it came out great IMO. This one reason my friends call my car Sundrop. cuz sometimes the color looks green and in the sun it looks gold. Its not a name I came up with. lol I painted the car myself and it felt like I was never gonna finish that day. At this point the date is 3/23/13. Will I make it to IFO? I didnt think so..








Sunbathing



Random Picture can you spot your favorite feature... HAHA



That it for now I will add some more in a lil while. At this point I have little over a month till IFO and I still dont know how I pulled it off.

JDM-EK-B18C5

Importdj67

FRIEDRiiCE924

Dope build brotha

Importdj67

Ok Im back Trying to finish as much as I can to..

As soon as I painted it I let it sit one day in the sun to dry. Then I got right to work. Putting together as much as I could as fast as I could. Heres some pictures.





I spy A nitrous bottle


It was rolling the next day. I had put together the brake lines gas tank all rear suspension components. It was easy using a lift.


Started the wiring on the motor. I did the wire tuck myself. I actually enjoy wiring.. haha



about to receive that new heart...



Wiring is in.


Now for some fuel


Looking more and more like a car



Unfortunately it was time to leave the shop for good and head home. I cant find any more pictures for the in between stages... at this point the car starts but is not ready to be driven. the date is now 4/1/13.. great date right my friends didnt believe I had given up the shop.. Lol



Now it sits at home in my garage this is where I finished the rest of the build




Now I finally finished putting most of the interior together




Finally received my brake master kit from Rywire. I was able to install it and finish my brakes!! it was the only thing left so I can drive the car...



Here Im wetsanding getting ready to buff


went out for my first drive...



Finally finished wetsanding and buff. Got all the windows back and most of the exterior together...


Time to do my valve cover. Stripped it all down.


Finished white with gold flake



Random pictures not sure what I was doing here.. haha


Finally finished everything it was ready to drive. Just need to get the exhaust done


At my friend Jesses new shop to get my exhaust done




Random Picture time haha My friend gave me this. Since Im not turbo anymore I keep this in my car and say im still boosting lol

Importdj67

So now at this point of the build is when everything changed. My good friend Aj decided to join Team Hybrid. He knew a few people from there and Ive always seen them but never thought about joining them until my friend told me how to join and how really organized they are. Then I did my own research on their website and I was unsure because they were all really nice cars and didn't think my car was nice enough. I went ahead and joined because of the reputation they have, they've been around for 18 years and always bringing out some of the cleanest cars. They're doing something right. At this point Im glad I did join. They have helped me in many ways already and I enjoy being in a team that runs smoothly. Everybody in the team is also very supportive. Now for some pictures....

Heres me and my friend AJ getting ready for IFO


Got to finish painting the front.


Primered


and Painted in my own garage... the date now is 5/03/13!!! 2 days before IFO


Wetsanded and buffed the day before IFO



I made it to IFO. Some things were rushed but it was minor attention to detail things. But heres some more pics My debut at the first show with Team Hybrid.






Everybody loves Models..

Dam look nice

After IFO I cleaned up a few things inside. Got my radio installed. Got some things in the interior redone. Redied my back seats black. Tried to make my intake better but In the end didnt look good. I got sponsored by Megauirs and I did a full detail with their product. Their high polish buffing compound is great. It really made my car shiny and all their products smell really good...
This is when I did my first photoshoot with IceCreamLyfe.com







The road to Eibach was fun but as soon as I got off the freeway in Corona,ca to get to my family friends place I started hearing a loud grinding noise. It ended up being the mainshaft bearing and ruining my reverse synchro. Luckily I got in touch with Jerry Built and he saved the day and gave me what I needed. Went back installed the parts and got some rest for eibach Luckily we went the day before... The car got lots of attention.. It even landed on the honda tuning face book.. Im glad someone over there like it. Heres some pics from the adventure...






When you break your bowl you make one with an orange


Los Angelos


Got what I needed


Morning wash and off to eibach


Hoodless in Cali







The road back home


At Eibach I got to meet the great people over at AEM and things went well. I met George he was one cool guy and I really have to thank him and AEM for sponsoring me. We figured the the type-r cold air intake would be best the option for the H2B. It worked out great. I felt a huge difference in power and response. AEM Intake also Looks great in the engine bay and since its aluminum it doesn't weigh anything at all. Great Product....


I also received a sponsor thru Mishimoto and I decided to go with their Fan shroud kit. Im glad I did. Before this I had a no name slim fan that you could barely hear and now with the mishimoto fan shroud it seems like an airplane is about to take off... haha it really made a huge difference.. It keeps the car cool and is definitely well built product...


A few days before the event my good friend tells me lets go to Wekfest. Ill take care of everything to get you in. Im like sure lets go. This time everything went great. I met some really cool people as well from Coastin Society. These guys were really dope people...











After I got back from Wekfest. I got a sponsor thru Bfgoodrich tires. I received their sport comp-2 tires. I knew Bfgoodrich tires were good But when I put them on and got to drive on them I felt a difference. Steering felt easier. It felt really light. Then when I drove they felt smooth. I got to take them around the freeway on a few turns at higher speeds and they gripped. I wish I could of taken them turns faster. The whole car felt solid and the tires complimented my entire setup very well. Im glad I got sponsored by BFgoodrich and Thanks to everyone who has helped me get to where I am now.






The coolest thing to happen to me tho a week after wekfest. I went out to our weekly wednesday meets at chinatown. A camera crew was there filming for there spanish TV show. Some one comes up to me and says theyre looking for the owner of that car. They started recording my car and wanted to interview me. They filmed my car and then recently they interviewed me.





Well this completes my build thread upto now. But I still have plenty of things I want to do. Ill be posting more detailed posts from here now. Next show is July 13th in Anheim,Ca Spocom Ill have a few more things done. Gonna be polishing a few things. Thanks everyone for taking the time to check out my build. Hope you like it.

I love this car

C2K_TB_TEC

Well done man, your hard work paid off!

lorenzo fa sho

i'm plannin to shave my engine bay on my 93 Si too, but what all should i get rid of and what should i keep?

Importdj67

Thanks!!

Thanks!!

It all depends bro what you want to do. I didnt want to use to much bondo or glaze so instead we used plates on the firewall welded all the holes and used very light amount of glaze because once I get a better headers and a better exhaust Im gonna start taking the car out for autocross and road coarse. My original plan wasn't to show it. It was to race it and make it look nice. My suggestion all the holes on the firewall and two shock tower can get shaved off and just be care full what you shave off on your radiator support. I dont have anything bolted down on the firewall. And as far as things in the engine bay. I have the bare minimum to run the car. no smog emissions items. No heater. I have plenty of engine bay pics use them to reference. It all depends on how much you want to get rid of.

USDM as fuhh

Great work. Love the color.
I just started building an h22a1 for an H2B drag build, hoping to have it done by IFO next May. Congrats on all the sponsorships and getting noticed/coverage. Great feeling having all your hard work pay off. Keep it up man.

Importdj67

Thanks man.. Nice good luck on your build bro.

Today I got the chance to meet up with Jimmy Crook (CrooksLife Flickr) and do an updated photoshoot after the sponsors. He has done a few other Team Hybrid Cars and hes done great work. After we met up we went on the outskirts of town and scouted for a few spots. Every spot was golden IMO. His girl Shayna is also a photographer and they both went immediately into buisness. They were shooting in all angles inside outside engine bay. You name it they probably got it. Jimmy even got on his back holding the door with his foot to get an interior angle. Guy is creative. We planned to do it at sunset. Met up at 630 and sunset was at 7:57. Had plenty of time. The background was great. I definitely give big props and respect to both of them. Look him up on Instagram Sincity_crook Facebook Jimmy Crook. Hit him up if your local to vegas for a photoshoot. This is his full time job. Any photography work hit him up. I fully recommend him.

The spot we were at is a spot where they used to hold races at all the time. Still do but not so often. It almost looks like the desert racing scene from the first fast and furious. Desert on both sides and two lanes going down. We saw this sign said "Because Racecar" Had to get a pic with it. So here goes the teaser.

Importdj67

Back for an update. Went out for another photoshoot in downtown las vegas in the art district. Im still waiting to release the photos from the first photoshoot. But for now heres the teaser for the second photoshoot. Came out sick.. Spongebob was tight tho.

Importdj67

My most recent trip to california was amazing. I had two amazing opportunities. One which I cannot mention yet but the other was a sponsorship by Password:JDM. I met some of the great staff of Password:JDM. Heres a link to all the photos of my cali trip and I got to take some cool pictures with Eric's Evo 10 Instagram @carolinabluevox

For now thats about it. Apart from the new parts from Password:JDM No new parts on the car. My vtec has been acting up cutting in and out so I am gonna fix that soon. After all the bugs are fixed Im planning on heading to the track and seeing what kind of time I can run. Hoping for 13's on street tires. If I can find some slicks on 4x114 rim I will run that but for now street tires will have to do.

My next major show will be Spocom on July 13th in the Anaheim Convention Center. If I can get some spare time I will be making a rear under bumper diffuser for the hatch. I think it will look amazing and make sure its functional.
