Default Prestonubc22's EG Coupe build in progress

What's up guys! Just recently purchased my 1995 EX Coupe from the original owner who only put 112k miles on it! All original besides Kenwood Stereo and speakers. Anyways, body has the original paint so it is faded and peeling but I plan on getting it painted later this year. With the purchase of some parts on Password JDM today I figured I would go ahead and start up a build thread.

How she currently sits:














Sorry she is quite dirty. I will be cleaning her from top to bottom before I post more photos. Thanks for viewing.

What's up guys? Well PasswordJDM contacted me shortly after purchasing the B&M dual bend shifter and related products to let me know that supposedly B&M discontinued their line of shifters for Hondas. He asked if I wanted to go with Skunk2 for $40 more but I declined because I've always heard B&M shifters were great.. Not saying that I don't like Skunk2 but I wanted to stick with B&M. I called Summit to see if they stocked them and reluctantly they did in GA so I was able to receive it overnight. Just received it today and unpackaged it. Going to wait until I'm off Sunday or Monday to do the install

So today I was able to install the B&M shifter and I'll have to say I am super happy with it. The throw is much shorter and more comfortable. I love it. When swapping the shifter out I noticed that this dust seal was torn.. I called Honda and ordered a new one but I had to put it back in how it is for the time being

Thanks bud! I love the color. Really trying to figure out my next steps.. Continue with smaller things here and there or just go ahead and have it painted.. Just going to keep saving for now
