I haven been kinda lazy doing the finishing touches on her before inspection, just lots of stuff going on in my life, hopefully she I will be able to go next week for inspection so I can finally drive it on the road..
The set up runs flawless and spins pretty much all 3rd if I shift hard into it from 2nd... if I floor the car at 3k RPM in 2nd it just spins to redline... feels good to finally drive a fast car again.. Am guessing it has 270-290WHP
but ill hit the dyno before the end of summer to confirm my estimate!

When I got her: 4 MONTHS AGO

After about 50 hours: LOTS OF SANDING

Add another 12 hours: ZINC PRIMMED RAD SUPPORT WELDED

Umm 15 hours later: PRIMMED AND PREPPED ENGINE BAY AND INTERIOR

5 hours later: NICE BASE COAT/CLEAR COAT,, look at that shine!

only 5-6 hours in and its started to look like a car again!.... Gas tank, break lines, wire harness, master break, clutch, pedals, subframe, suspension........ time to go home!

another 8 hours... I HATE BREAK LINES

And shes off for paint.. Ill miss the multicoloured look! NOT

5 damm weeks later... ahhhhhh oh well its life!
clean and silky (still not buffed)

still lots of work ahead of me

Umm windows are in....All bran new! so much $$$

Wohoo its comming together, interior is almost done!

Towed to my other friends garage (ADtuning) so he can help me out with the motor!
The car now had a red heart.....installing a motor and making sure not to scratch the engine bay was a pain in the assssss

Trial set up with the water cooler,, damm thats a tight fit!

Umm looks sexy!

The final set up

Looks like an intercooler... NOT its a heat exchanger

The motor complete and running like a charm!

Finally got the fogs all hooked up with a switch!

I need to on some "Boosted Type R" sticker on, the car is a little too plain!

I had to bend the 3inch exhaust a little bit cuz it was hitting the LCR when I would hot a bump!

Well I hope you guys injoyed my 5 month build up. I took lots of hard work and dedication, I dont think I will ever do it again.. I took simply too much time and MONEY! But I must say I enjoyed every minute of it!

thanks to Debo for helping me out all those late nights, as well as Tony and Boo from AD!

very nice

georgiajdm · 07-31-2004, 08:51 AM

not to dog you but you went through all that work for a oem color? i would have gone a different route with the color considering the trouble you went through

dEXstar · 07-31-2004, 08:52 AM

Great work, I wish I had the knowledge do something like this.

ATgrills.com · 07-31-2004, 09:20 AM

Believe me I thought about colours for over a month...
Ive always loved CW... it elegant yet always bright!!

I was gonna do the RSX dessert sand colour or a electric blue but I figured I would have got sick of the colour within a year!!

I guess you can say I chickened out and went with the safe colour that I love!

Ya@inlinePRO · 07-31-2004, 09:21 AM
