my ej8's build from smash.
i bought this car in may of 2007 bone stock from dealer. i owned a 2 vw's before learning the hard way that honda's are the only option in this world. (and other various cars obviously).
i rear ended an accord when the owner stopped in the middle of the road becuase someone cut him off. and me trying to be inspector gadget, looked at the car cutting him off and not paying attn what was in front of me and bam! replaced the whole front including radiator support. So far, ALL work has been done by ME. i don't like other's playing with my car.
Current setup.
stock d16y8. currently winter mode thoguh.
I have a small plan for the car. my goal is lsV-turbo atleast 250-300whp with mildly stock internals/other.
currently bought -- most not on car.
the obvious alarm system, and audio system. all wired by myself.
Sportmax 501's(red) with Toyo t1r's 195/45/15.
d2 suspension, controls arms, and rear camber kit.
skunk2 pro series fron camber kit.
tanabe hyper medallion exhaust catback
Si guage cluster and Hvac controls.
Civic Type-R headlights
6,000k drop-in Hid's.
Datum1 rear towhook
Momo replica steering wheel
Benen Lower rear tie bar
front and rear oem Si valences.
pwjdm clear fogs.
Shaved front nipples
also 99-00 rear bumper since my car didn't have it when i bought it.
type-r front grille.
electron blue pearl respray (spring)
b18b LS engine & custom turbo setup (spring, and still looking for engine)
the wire tuck you see in the pictures is NOT how it ended up coming out!! i redid it A LOT better. using everything im suposed to!
most of the parts are in my garage waiting for the re-paint.
i bought a gal of electron blue pearl b95p.
currently working on body work fixing dents and getting everything perfect, when spring rolls around, she will be repainted and bay shaved tucked and hopefully engine swap.
here are some pics that i have how of she looks before accident, scene of the accident, and after accident with primer front, then with sportmax's on.
--before smash--
with si lip and d2's
cansiter n1 system before tanabe (cat-straight pipe-n1 style muffler= LOUD..YUKKKY)
--smashed---
--after crash--

Re: my ej8's build from smash. (PhrequenC)
Is that a oem bumper or a replica? Fitment is horrible on the driverside. Maybe you can still pull out that area a little more? Oh well, hope you fix it before you get the car painted.

its a not oem bumper on the rear in the pics. the front IS, but thats with a busted rad support. i havent took pics since ive put it in wintermode or put the rad support on, or the tanabe on. i took ALOT of parts off for the winter, and half what i listed still hasn't seen the car yet!
thanks for the feedback!

thats not even all the way down!
2/3/08- finished up passenger side body work, fixed all dents. cars redy for sanding and primer as soon as it gets warmer..
question; do the moldings around the windows all come out? or do the window need to be removed?
