jonathan2006

thanks man

jonathan2006

its been awhile since ive updated my thread on here
time to play catch up

i got some stuff in from dan at http://www.daddyscaraccessories.com/









still trying to finish up the interior and make sure i dont want to add anything else before i put it all back together.



i got 2 gx pistons and my ebrake assembly.
gonna have to figure out where and how to get the other 2 pistons.
and it looks like there is gonna be up to a 2 month wait on the other 2 pistons.







well i did alittle bit of work but im short 2 screws so i didnt finish
anyway i started on switching the ebrake assemblies so i can finish up my console conversion

here is the before pic


after pic will come tomorrow when i finish

i have also finally picked up some new rims (thanks rclark). i know i probably shouldnt have but this is one of my all time favorite wheels and i got them at a decent price. i have had the motegis for far too long and ready to get rid of them. i got work emotion cr, not the cr kai. these are supposedly before the cr kai and are possibly forged. kai is cast i believe. also got the work valve stems with them. just need some work lugs now and to mount my tires that i got a few months ago. now on to the pics.

rclark

wheels look great! Good luck with the motor build up. Do GNX (from the natural gas powered car right?) pistons bump or lower the compression?
I've heard of some factory honda auto cross teams experimenting with them.

jonathan2006

lol i was just about to send you the link. yeah they are from a d17a7 natural gas motor. they will bump compression up to 12.5:1 i believe.

mmelvin23

Nice build dont see that many in my area

jonathan2006

so i got the hook up on some red emblems
thanks vjf915 (clubcivic.com)

i need to pick up some emblem adhesive to do the back one since it doesnt fit quite right.

jdm em2

Car looks good, But im just going to give you my opinion your in the right way, just try and focus on the exterior, i see your doing this stuff to your motor IMO i feel like its just a waste of money becuase if your going for speed d17 are really not that fast, im not trying to be a *******, just giving my 2 cents i dont want you to think im flaming on your car i deff like the setup/wheels you have

Work wheel is a in my book!

jonathan2006

thanks man i love these wheels.
you got to have faith in the d17. you dont know unless you try. it hasnt been done before. time to try.

jdm em2

My buddy just spend 13k to boost his d17 and the tuner said its to built for the pistons and values. hes pretty mad but who cares thats not my car. lol

But do what you got to do. Do work man !

jonathan2006

lol i dont think ive come near spending that much. mine has been over the coarse of 2 or 3 years. i have valves and im working on pistons, need 2 more.

jonathan2006

i picked up a cf wire cover
thanks 03txcivic (7thgenhonda.com)

hum81e

jonathan2006

im currently taking a break from putting the ep3 seats in.
the driver side is giving me some trouble.
got all 4 bolts in the passenger side easily.

jonathan2006
