Well, i've been driving the car around for just over a week now. Fun to drive, the factory suspension works pretty good for what it is, but is coming out soon.
Also, the B16's days are limited. It's too laggy for me, i can't wait to get the B18C in there, i am more motivated each day, but still need to find a deal on a quality lightened flywheel.

Here's a couple of day shots. Got the illegal tint removed from the front windows, so no need to worry about cops bugging me any more about them. Also ordered up a new grill yesterday



The back now looks very stock. The old looking Canadian "SiR" decal is completely off, and i put a new Si one onto replace it

The LED upgrade i got from Ebay out of Hong Kong, they are super cheap, and work so well. Here's a link to an example

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Unive...%3A1|72%3A1171

I also was able to get to my front grill over the last couple days. It is now black like it's supposed to be

Coil overs are next on the list, then wheels/tires!

Updates today!

Although i didn't have time to lower it this weekend it's coming
On the exterior
- new wheels/tires....16"
- redid the front grill in black, and installed a new oem grill surround





I'm still waiting on getting my front lip back. Inside, i installed a new oem ITR shift boot, along with a late model accessory Prelude shift **** that matches perfectly. It will sit a little bit better once i do the engine swap, and i use the extra ITR shifter with it. The position will be perfect!!

Sold it about 3 weeks ago....kept some of the big ticket items though, for a future project.

Biggest reason i sold it, was because it had rust starting in the rear quarters.

My new car is clean, no rust!!!

Update! With as little free time at home i get these days, here's where i'm at.....

Got the front of the car lowered, and the back i had the common problem of bolts in my rear LCA's are seized together, ha ha

I ordered up a pair of new oem LCA's. Some of you may ask why i didn't go aftermarket, well, i work for Honda, and get a much better deal than any aftermarket arm, plus quality is still top notch and won't make a difference for my day to day.
Also grabbed a set of new front rotors. I didn't know that factory painted up the hats of the rotors to make them look pretty :D

It's all done and waiting at the body shop. They are waiting for me to drop it off. Getting the car there during the same business hours i work is a tough thing to do with out taking time off. I'll get it done this week though.

Suspension work today! Got that thing jacked!! Ha ha (cell phone pis this time)





God, the bottom rear lower control arm bolts are not fun to remove after years of use, and being through winter driving. Breaking bolts, sawing and cutting....not finished yet, but getting there. Should be done tomorrow
