That's where I've been getting my Spoon Sports items, where I'll be ordering future parts as well 👍

What y'all think of Hmotorsonline? Any other websites?

Jhp or pwjdm may have spoon items. I used to frequent il4 for the rare parts when i could afford it and had the patience of Christ waiting for the part. Lsd motorsports can get em too but they have no stock on hand. Icb is probably the best way to go i just wish they changed their site. All the cool things i see always say sold. Lol a website packed with stuff that says sold is so defeating.

No **** huh! Every cool part is sold or not available anymore. I'm like wtf then don't show me. I'm gonna order my k-tune shifter along with some suspension parts over the weekend. Gonna save up for my intercooler/piping next.

They are taking online orders apparently. Steve still has site up for but cleared out the shop to cut overhead according to a former employee.

I promise you are they dead. This is from an inside source. Their website is no direct correlation to their current business standing.

Still waiting for parts!

Anyway, had some free time this windy Sunday morning! Thought I'd put the DownStar bay kit on.

Oh, sold my wheels too.

So I picked up this "em1" spoiler a couple of days ago for $80, thinking I got a good deal on it. Upon inspection, the 3rd break light didn't say the usual Stanley stamp all oem lights have. But, it said "Koito Japan". Got online, did a little searching but all I found was that they are Oem replacement lights, more popular found in Nissan/Toyota. Anyone care to shine some light on it? Thanks!







Started mocking up the spoiler to drill the holes necessary to mount. What y'all think?





Pay no mind to the model, my brother was half asleep, woke his *** up to hold the spoiler haha

Been FOREVER since I last posted. Hope everyone is doing good.

Picking up where I left off, I installed the Em1 spoiler. Purchased some OEM mudguards, put those one. Bought Si wheels, shitty tires/curb checks, flipped em for a profit, got some xxr's (don't worry, sold those too) now I'm sitting on some GORGEOUS Hx's with new tires lol. Ordering my front lip tonight along with the k-tune shifter that I've been talking about for some time now! Oh, also, picked up some K-Sport Suspension, for $40! (Calm down, it was only the front 🙁 Lol) but still, extremely cheap & they're in perfect working condition. Phew.. Will post pics later after work! Have a good Friday!

It's been ages! (12 days) since my last post. Life is just happening & doesn't seem to slow down. Hope everyone is doing well..

















The current state of my coupe.

I also installed a OEM gsr exhaust, the b pipe is 6inches short but it it's a difference. I believe stock piping is 1.50-75 compare to the Gsr 2.00.

Anywho, more updates to come.
Thank you & God bless!

Car is coming along nicely. But please use stock lug nuts on OEM wheels. The seat types are different and can be dangerous.

Good morning Honda heads! Hope everyone is doing well..

So a little big update! I ditched the turbo route. Not gonna do that anymore, I think I may be one of the luckiest peep in the world lol. Going to through CL, I texted someone for some parts, to say the least he was rude as **** but I still needed those parts so I went ahead & drove to his house to pick up the parts, pulled up & it was an old buddy from way back in the days! Probably 6-7 years ago, he drove a blue top h23 all motor black coupe, which is parting out. After a couple of hours talking & catching up, I ended up with a b18c swap, rear disc breaks, gsr mint cloth seats, em1 cluster, polish control arms & other miscellaneous parts that I wanted for cheap! By cheap I mean in payments & I can take what I wanted. Very fortunate plus cool dude to hook a homie up!

Super excited for what's to come. Stay tune! Onto the pictures.

Cut off rear bumper, got my original one with mudguards in my storage.



My cluster swap!















I already got a buyer for my d series swap, so hopefully late May early June I should have my b series coupe!

Sorry for not having any updates. But have gotten quiet a bit of parts since last time!

I'm now rocking Si wheels, finally got my KTuned shifter! Got some clear headlights & a pair of minty gsr cloth seats! Flawless. On to the pictures.
