Default EBP EM1 Build Thread

Pics Soon

I'm not new to the forums, but I think I lost my other account. I haven't been very active anyways so it's a new start.

I've had my EM1 for about 3 years now and haven't really had time to invest in it as much as I'd like. Joined the Air Force and they stationed me in Dyess AFB, TX.. Pretty small town and terrible roads but oh well. I'm originally from Nor Cal. For the Air Force my afsc is 2A7X3. Basically a fabricator.

Anyways onto the car. It's an EBP EM1 when I first got it, it was bone stock minus the H&R Lowering Springs. Now it's got Innovative Mounts, a stage 3 clutch, fog lights, and a short shifter.

I haven't spent any big money on it because I was trying to get my bike before I tore it down completely and rebuilt from scratch, but that isn't happening so I decided to start now regardless.

The goal here is a very mint EBP outside and a black interior with blue led for lighting on the inside. And an N/A H2B H22A shooting for as close to 300WHP as I can get and 200lb/tq

At the moment I'm going to be ordering Koni Yellows/GC Coilovers at 600F/550R rates.

Sorry I don't got pictures yet, but they'll come as the build comes along.

When I first got the car my friend named it Sonic so usually if you see a hedgehog hanging off the tow hook it might be mine.

I'm open to peoples inputs but this was mainly for me to use as a journal on what I've done and what I've forgotten, I'll probably be making a list of parts I want or am looking for too if you guys got em for sell feel free to post or pm, or I'll just make a WTB thread after my 5 post/15 day in the marketplace to avoid me getting introuble.

They aren't too in depth, I'll start taking pictures as it goes along, especially when I start the swap, sometime next month.

This is it before I started doing any work to it..



Here are the fogs, I was hoping I had more pictures but I lost a lot of them. I'll be sure to take pictures tonight with the HIDs in the housings. It was an easy change to do, TSPNY hooked me up with the Slim Ballasts for free when I ordered the regular ones. I haven't invested in a camera yet either x.x so the images kind of suck.

Since you're Air Force, this seems more appropriate than the usual icon.

Should have NOT posted this until you actually started a build.

These threads are supposed to have some sort of technical information or atleast images of work being done.

Lmao, sorry I've been too busy with work to actually get pictures, I got some of my foglights being done, I didn't take any of doing the HID conversion though. And next week I'm getting my GC/Konis so I'll be sure to take pictures of those. But let me post those pictures of the Fogs.

I've decided against all the work doing a K24/K20 Franky, and I'm also going to doing an H2B swap instead.

Sometimes if you read I said.

When I first got it is was bone stock, minus H&R Springs

Everything else is work I've done to it.
