well ive had this car for a month or so now and thought i would make a build thread, ive built a couple nice cars in the past years and decided i wanted to go for more of a "magazine" style of build....

my builds in the past have looked nice and i was more about power/function than i was about "baller" name brand parts, so i decided i would take my time and build up a "h-t" style car


first off its a 1992 si hatch that i picked up down in harrisburg, pa. It had a jdm d15b with home made turbo kit and hadnt been driven in over 2 years






then i bought a 93 ex coupe that had a built 84mm gsr/turbo set up in it, i stripped it of the motor, doors, interior wiring harness for power windows/locks


then proceeded to tear apart everything to start cleaning it up, i plan on doing a mild tuck (battery relocated, mild engine harness tuck) still havent picked out a color yet though





B SERIES SETUP IS NOW FOR SALE HERE : https://honda-tech.com/forums/classifieds-forced-induction-39/fs-pa-84mm-gsr-quaife-lsd-gsr-trans-turbo-setup-etc-2616744/


3"high flow cat
Thermal 3" exhaust (thanks d-rob)

some parts so far i have picked up are:
new 1/4 patch panels
cf hood
regamaster evo 4x100 15" +35

jdm power folding mirrors
samco rad hoses


new interior panels from a 95 si hatch( black hatch cover, door panels, cluster, carpet etc)
koni yellows
gc coilovers
optional audio console

Decided to build a NA k24 with potential for nitrous down the road
picked up a k header already

starting on the body work now, and plan on making it a winter project

 

Way to keep it Bseries Brian.

 

Gee, a Baller build?

 

not baller, but def not a "budget" build either


well if you found out how much i had into this, i dont think anyone would have turned down a B

 

if i remember right... when i told you I had power folding mirrors you said something like "IMO i dont think there worth the price they go for." dick cheese. lol but good luck with this build. im in the market for another hatch

 

there not, thats why i didnt pay the price most people ask for them lol, look at the mirrors the car came with, and for the lil extra cash i think they will be worth it

 

god damn you lol i knew there had to be something in that coupe that was amazing for you to want it that bad...you going to keep this one as long as the teggy?

 

it will probably be in the garage for as long as i owned the integra lol, actually i had that car almost a year



got some more stuff done, finished removing the dash harness, engine harness, and i started body work on engine bay by grinding down spots and getting ready to weld them in

taking a break right now and then im going to take off the doors and try getting it down to a bare shell (minus rear suspension and gas tank)

 

Good luck on the build yo. i think your EH3's exterior is gonna look like my cousin's EH2 but with a different color and lip:

 

nice do you know the offset of them?

 

cant wait to see this car when its all done

 

new pics should be up soon, only thing left is to take glass out and then the body work/paint begins

 

can't wait to see the final product

 

last time it was inspected/registered






studs cut off firewall, and every hole im going to shave is grinded ready for welding


started welding and grinding down the welds (this will take forever!!))

the bottom end for the project

still need to drop front subframe, take off the exhaust and shift linkage, and then take all the glass out

 

looks good earl,,subscribed cant wait to see how it turns out. Hopefully my em1 will be able to keep up in the future

 

I thought you sold the integra to build a S2k?

 

i did... and then this project fell into my lap for dirt cheap (will have less than 5,000 into it when all said and done)

 

If you are really serious about making this a 'Honda-Tech style' build make the build thread 'H-T style' too and answer every question with "Do a search." lol

In all seriousness I like any build that begins with a good thorough tear-down and pics of good parts waiting to go in. Cheers! I'll be watching.

 

Nice way to start a build keep up the good work! Don't go getting too many baller parts might make me look like a chump!

 

dont worry its still a "budget" build

only thing left to do is dry ice the interior, order brake lines and mock that up, and then more work on the engine bay

 

just ordered:

arp extended studs for the front
new upper control arms/ball joints
lower ball joints
inner/outter tie rods
wheel bearings

ended up being 220 shipped for everything, not to bad since its basically redoing the major components in the front

now i have to decide if i want to press in new bushings on all the control arms

and i have to figure out what color im going to spray this thing!

 

nice

 

def a good looking project! i have been trying to keep up with it here and hbgtuned

 

lol...youre ridiculous. get an s2k already. build this, sell it, start your s2k project that you can hold onto for a while. Looks good though!
