Well Im finally ready to begin with my project, is been over 2 years since I started this project, but because of school (in other words I was broke) I could not begin this. And I want to share this build with other fellow honda lovers. At first I was going to build the engine and install a turbo kit, but then I realized that the car needed new paint. I was able to get a few suspension parts and a good set of tires since I needed them.
Here are some pics I took with my phone that show the progress so far

Here is the car when I first got it.



With 17's



The rear disc conversion




I got a good deal on a front and rear sway bar and ASR subframe





I painted the valve cover with the wrinckle VHT paint and it came out
nice





A nice set of 15's that needed new rubber bad



New exhaust



At the shop when I installed the ws2 exhaust



This is how it looked a month ago




Before I started to remove everything to take the car to the paint shop,
I removed the old radiator support and installed the oem one.




After I removed engine and transmission




Stripped off the interior






I decided to replace the clutch with exedy stage 1 and fidanza flywheel





Ready to take it to the shop






I will upload more pics showing the progress. I still dont know what color I want. I would like to paint it milano red or roma red, but I am still thinking about it.

Always loved EBP on EG hatches, also cant go wrong with a nice black. Either way nice progress, I was worried when I saw the 17's but it got better.

What was wrong with the original radiator support?

omarhb

About a year ago I tried to tow the car and the support bent, so
I bought a cheapo one to fix it fast, It was the taiwanese one, not the oem.
I was going to paint it like that but I saw the oem for sale on craigslist
and I got it, I prefer to have the oem.

caeavesRSX-S

absolutely.

UPDATE

I decided to paint the car milano red, here are some pics showing the progress.

NICE! I love ground up resto's!

omarhb

I was able to put everything back in the car and also I got some goodies













I gave away my cold air intake and forgot to buy one so I used a vacuum filter hehe
and used it like that just to take the car home



The new intake



While I was working on it I discover that the intake manifold had a crack
so I got a skunk2 intake on craigslist with a Hondata gasket but they did not fit
because they are for a b16, the guy told me it was for the gsr and stupid me I did not check it until I was going to install it..so now I have an skunk2 mani for sale with Hondata gasket







Si I decided to get a new Intake and got the skunk2 mani



I also got the duckbill



a new shift ****



Before



After



This is how it looks as of today







I want to drop it because I dnt like the way it sits right now but I dnt know what to get.
I currently have the tokico blues and they are nice I like how they ride but I want to drop it more. I also want to be able to adjust the height, I dnt take the car to the track, but once in a while would be nice. Since the car is my DD I want something that is not bouncy or too stiff. I was thinking Function and Form Type 1's since I have read good things about them what do you guys think? your input would be appreciate it thanks

r_Senik

nice
a buddy of mine like his type1's over the koni/gc setup.
if your tight on cash, look at the progress cs-II. im running that right now and i love it. not too stiff. not soft at all. and it cost about 600 shipped.
look in the sponsors marketplace.

omarhb

Not bad they seem to be a good set up

drift4agze

So nice. I love the red with the P1's. Quality all around.

nico1131

Good job and very clean

This color is very nice when brand new !

Your car will be perfect a bit lower and with a SiR front lip.

omarhb

Thanks guys, yes I need to drop it more and get the SiR lip for sure

hybrid24

do you care that you painted the windsheild black plastic border red? Lol cause it would bug me , looking good though ,like the valvecover

nico1131

Good idea

omarhb

Thanks, hehe I removed them and I didn't put them back on, I need to order them.
