Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

Nice project. Your car looks great :thumbup:

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

Look good and what's the plan for this vehicle?

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

looks good so far keep up with the updates and yeah what is the plan for the car?

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

ton of work you've been doing, what color are you painting it? it looks like some kind of brownish-red? i don't know

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

thanks!!!

the plan is to get as much experience as possible ;)
everything is done by me...

my first time to get a motor out... first time of changing suspension... s.o.


the colour is a brown with a nice copper touch!
what engine i will swap in that bucket... dont know... b16 or a gsr with the option to boost it...

first im trying to concentrate on the body work and restauration process!

does anybody know if 205/45 16inch tires fit without rollin'/fender flaring??
...and i cant decide wich colour i'll paint my wheels :/

cheers

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

looks like alot of work but shoude be funn

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

the 205 45 16 tires will fit. but do you plan on boosting the car?

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

i like where this is going!

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

maybe... dont know what motor setup i should run and makes alot of fun...
any suggestions??
b16b on low boost?

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

N/A ftw

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

Wow, Its making me debate over a EG hatch or a EK coupe now. DAM YOU! haha

It looks AMAZING!

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

b18b or b18cs are both nice but if you wanna save money and arent going to be really serious just turbo the sohc. people make hella power off sohcs

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

there is no such thing as an EK coupe. He has the EJ8 and actually in the United States there is no such thing as an EK. the 96-00 usdm hatchbacks are called the ej6. the EK9 is the japanese type r and all other Eks were only released in japan

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

thank you sir ;)

nope... in GER the ek coupe is called ej6 (sohc vtec ej8) and the hatches are called ej9/ek4
very confusin' :/

next few steps are cleaning the antenna hole and welding the engine bay for more stiffness in those crappy frontends!

thanks for looking!
ICH WILL!

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

LOOKS YOU GOT THE PRO SENSE OF BUILDING HONDAS !! great talent and a lot of progress in small amount of time !!! wishing you the best of luck !!!!

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

oh totally forgot you were in GER. my bad

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

serious work!!! nice car :thumbup:

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

looks like youre really going in depth. looks good.

Re: Coupe from GER... drive härd
 

wake her up for some work...

>welding the chassis for more reinforcement and no flex
>welding the bay for cleaning (cracked bondo s.o.)
