Hey my name is Scott and I am from Regina, Saskatchewan(not born and raised but currently located here). I heard about this site back when I first got into the car scene here from a buddy who was big into the Honda scene. Not only am I into cars but I am also into photography(mainly of cars though =D), you can check some of my favorite work here:

Make sure to "like" if you do actually like!

Anyways, my first actual 'car' was and still is a 95 Honda Civic Canadian Si, came stock with rear drums, no power anything, sunroof and rear drums.

Here's what it looked like when I bought it:



As you can see, HUGE 17 inch rims that weighed roughly a 1000 pounds each and a pretty stock look. The car came with Neuspeed springs with Koni yellows(rear) and blown GAB shocks(front) as well as a cat back Invidia N1 catback exhaust. As far as the engine goes, an aftermarket valve cover and a no name SRI with a 9 inch K&N filter as well as thick NGK wires and iridium plugs.

Needless to say I got rid of the rims and rocked steelies with winter tires for quite sometime:



200 dollars plus about 150 for paint rendered these rims which I rocked till this summer:



Not a lot has been done as of yet to my car except a used lip, that I destroyed with stickers; cross drilled and slotted rotors along with ceramic pads; removed the side window tint and about a 1/4 of the rear(getting the rest off this weekend or next week); a Type R shift boot with a Mugen ***; front seats from a 93 Si; a bunch of interior parts that really cleaned up the inside; an iPod ready headunit along with type S speakers all around and a 15" punch and a 1000W amp. I also removed an old and unfunctional car alarm which freed up a lot of space under the dash.

This is how it sat last season on Skunk2 springs, which I am still using while I desperately need some custom rated ground control springs:



In the beginning of this season I bought some new rims, Konig WideOpens - 15x8 +20



Along with a set of Toyo T1R's - 195/45R15's



Decided I'm gunna fabric my headliner along with sun visors and pillar covers, still contemplating on what way I want to go with the interior.

pulled all this **** out:




from here:




so god damn dusty!



Pulled my deck out so I can solder my remote wire instead of just electrical taping it:


I also have to figure out whats wrong with my climate control, either theres a bad bulb, a broken wire or its a faulty unit. I'll start the car up and all buttons will be illuminated, then when I hit any one of the buttons the far right top bulb will go out. Not too big of a deal just sort of annoying, wouldn't mind a JDM climate control so lets hope its the unit itself!

Got a new battery, just a little advice, dont let your energizer sit outside all winter!

Mocked up a rim:




In need of a complete master bushing kit I went with the HardRace hard rubber kit and in need of new upper balljoints I ordered their Upper control arms(that are the best in the market IMO).





new:


old:


got some Honda H stickers for the konig Rims, really sets them off if you ask me!



I also did the rear disk conversion out of an Integra at a local wrecker, for 5.5 hours with my back on gravel the price was SO worth it, got both trailing arms with ebrake cables and booster/MC for 80 dollars!

Got my bushings pressed in at Frame and Wheel Alignment, the rubber bushings in the Blox LCA's I installed last season were pretty much garbage after driving for a few months(they lived up to their reputation.)

old rear LCA's, new bushings

By scottdeeley at 2011-06-15

RTA bushings on the integra arms, really meaty compared to OEM(the most noticeable bushing in the rear suspension.) I got the shop to clock these bushings roughly 5 degrees to compensate for how low I knew I was going to go, they're the first bushings to rip when a person drops a Civic/Integra(along with the rear upper control arm bushings).

reinstalled gas tank and exhaust after getting the new ebrake cables installed. Just a little info, the ebrake cables from an integra are shorter than a Civics with rear drums, I could only use 2 of the 3 brackets.

looks 10 times better than this

By scottdeeley at 2011-06-15

As of now its driveable, you can really feel the difference with the new bushings and shocks, really smooth compared to before. The new tie rod ends, front camber arms and upper/lower balljoints really helped the feel of steering and overall tightness. Now I need a wheel alignment!





As you can see new mud guards, Spoon rep lip, JDM SiR headlights installed. I really like it. Next thing on the list is stiffer springs, these skunk2 400F/300R get crazy bouncy at times. Spring perches are maxed out low BTW.

Latest update on the car are JDM stanley corner lights:

 

dam ur EJ is CLEAN

 

Nice EJ1! G/L with it.

 

Love that front lip!!!

 

Damn that Ej1 looks sexy! I always have a weak spot for Milano 5th gen coupe's with white rims... I also have a red EJ2 with white rims, but I'm not allowed to start a project thread yet.

What exactly did you do to the rear trailingarm bushings to compensate for the lowering?

 

Makes me miss my EJ2 so bad. Also MR. Nice car man, repping Canada.

 

rep canada lol, how do you like that wheel and tire setup ?

 

i love this car. so clean
