Default Budget built ef(in progress)

K so Long story short..bought a crx, blew the motor, rebuilt the motor, swapped out all aftermarket parts and sold the shell. At the time I got a buddy's old shell for free and swapped all my parts onto it. The rebuilt motor was making a ticking sound so I replaced it with a daily y7 motor while saving up for something with more power.

PICS WERE TAKIN WITH A CAMERA FONEEE!!!!!

Got the car:




Put the seat and dash in:



Got the motor back from Alecs automotive machine shop:




After I put my suspension, wheels, mirrors, hood, and motor in:





Rattle canned bumpers and side mouldings:




Hmm..what would white on grey look like???






Went the low offset route and swapped in the beast of a powerplant..the y7...




Switched up to some euro wheels and got an si lip and mudflaps..





Got the passenger front and rear tires slashed by some idiot..



Performance:
D16y7
a6 tranny
11lb flywheel
NGK spark plugs/wires
2.5 mandrel bend w/magnaflow
K&N filter

Suspension:
Omnipower coilovers+skunk 2springs
Generic strut/c-pillar bars
Benen Tiebar
Extended Top hats
Blox Lcas
15" Rota Track R wheels
Nexen CP641 195/50/15

Interior:
F1 Spec seat
Momo Protipo wheel
Short shifter
Crx dash

Exterior:
Spoon style mirrors
Si lip
4300k Hids

I plan on having this car for quite a while so heres my plans:

Future Plans:
Alarm
Different Wheels and tires
Diy Grounding kit
Car stereo
Diy rewrap interior panels and steering wheel
Body work
paint job
Rear disc conv
Redo undercoating
Front camber kit
Carpet
J's racing lip
Turbo d motor or Lsvtec

to be continued...

UPDATE from the dead-ish

....So I had a reason to get new wheels:




No more amber corners...some purple piece of metal..




How the car sits now..no more BCspec2..




some more goodies..





Hmmm, how can I be different without spending $300-$400 on a spoiler....

OEM spoiler, Carbon Fiber weave, spay adhesive:











Still gotta clearcoat it and sand it down etc..

To be continued...

Also installed my tophats in the front:
