Default Insane's EJ8 Slow Build Thread

So here it is this is my first build thread and frist EJ8.This is my 3rd car.I've owned a '88 CRX DX and a '91 CRX DX.i enjoyed them but after my cousin not offering to make the payments for the ish he effed up on my '91 I just decied to sell it and was looking for an EK hatch but this guy offered me his EJ8 so i looked at it and loved it.Before i get started here are my previous rides:

1988 Honda CRX DX-


1991 Honda CRX DX-


So here's a little about the car.The car is sitting on front coilovers and stock on the back.The front bumper, hood, top, trunk, rear bumper and mirrors are black. Driver side and Passenger side are a dark grey (mix of satin black and primer grey paint).The car is sitting on Buddy Club P1's, 17 in. in size. Has some black housed headlights and a 99-00 Rear end (taillights and bumper). The motor is a D16Y8 with headers and a cool air intake.Also has an exhaust system, i have the newer piping but still need to make an axleback and order a new tip.

now thats over with lets start the pictures these are from when i first got the car-
