Soooo before proceeding and wasting more money, learn about tools and your car...and let us know how that nailed hood goes

I think this kids thread failed. It should a what not to do thread.

mtflyboy25 and this guy related?

I'm still working on it. Got most body parts in, just need to wire it. Interior is scrapped atm.

Almost done with a paint job. 3-4 days more for it. Bolted the hood in.

Hey man forget about the haters it's your car. None the less I ask you...please think before you mod. You probably do. But it's always better to error by having more knowledge than less.

Anyway its your car and fxxx haters haha

shiroun

Thank you.
I'm getting the car up and running first, so that I can see what it needs. The only changes i've made to it so far is a paintjob, which is currently in progress. Once that's done I'm moving on to wiring and putting the last few things in (windshield wiper fluid, break fluid, etc), changing the oils and i should be good to go.

Its your car man but

Been doing a decent amount of work in my spare time. Had to use a sawzall to cut the exhaust system which was warped, and was blocking the exhaust manifold from being installed.

Still havent bolted the left side of the hood, I'll get to it eventually :\.

Tried to get the radiator in, and one of the lower hoses got a bit damaged, it wont go into place right because of the engine support.


Got a decent amount of wiring done on the interior, One tail light is wired up and ready to go, the other needs the wires for it, then I'll put one of the side interior panel and the back interior panel into place.

I still cant figure out how the damn battery is fabricated. I know it's a rear fabrication, but WHERE DO I HOOK THE **** UP TO.

Going to put the headlights in soon, and I might go pickup a front bumper today that isn't completely ****ed.

Also, picked up this yesterday for $40:

Gonna clean/possibly paint it, and then use it.

I got the driver-side fender, it's black though. Going to be painting the car black with orange once its done.

Engine is a d16a6, i'm not sure if I said that previously.

Anyway, that's all for now. Start talking in the thread again and I'll ask more educated questions. It's my first car, so some-things i say are dumb.

l Love JDM

This makes me quiver...

Don't ruin the shell of the car! God I can't wait to see the end of this build.. I hate ricers..

shiroun

I'm not riceing it out, I just don't like the color it came as. The front bumper I have is damaged anyway, and a few parts are seperately colored, so I need to make it uniform. Also when I got it it did have some graffiti and stickers on it (stickers are still on. I feel kind of weird taking RIP stickers off :\, but I will eventually), so I primed it.

I don't intend on doing a lot of body work. I'd like to keep the overall car looking stock (same bumpers, fenders, doors, etc. I don't want doors that flip up or any of that ****, albeit I did manage to get one of the seats in after some fabrication).

Does anyone know where I can buy a front bumper and front bumper cover that isn't aftermarket?

EDIT:

Just got parts for the car on hook. Air intake sleeve, aftermarket front bumper, tail light harness, and a radiator if i want.

All for $150.

l Love JDM

You can find OE (like OEM but not) at,

got the front bumper/cover on. Mailed the license plate that came with the bumper back to the dude, he's sending me another bumper light in exchange. Got me cracking up.

And for anyone wondering ,the pipe under the car IS the exhaust system.

vw eater

whats it to you anyways?

shiroun

Picking up a throttle body and a throttle cable, putting in the headlights, and going from there.

This is turning out kind of respectable.

shiroun

I've heard the engine compartment can get a little hot. So I put the Cold Air Intake outside the car!

Yes, it's a joke.

On a side note, front bumper cover needs to be fully mounted (I need to take some washers out and put them on the 4mm bolts that hold it in place.), then i'll put the little top piece and the headlights in.

Any thoughts, anyone?

Aftermath_Hatch

Hey man lil advice,check out some other builds thread on here and see what other pepole are doing to there EF's not saying you have to do the same, but maybe it will get you going in the right direction.Again it's your car and you have to make it your own,but these cars are getting few and for between to find stuff for and you don't wanna regert doing something the wrong way. Good luck bro.

shiroun

I do know what I'm doing. There is a good amount of stuff that I don't understand, for which i reference my lovely haynes, or ask for advice in various places. I'm not cutting or doing anything that can't be reversed at the moment.

RicedoutEF

NO!!! not those tail lights... ;( however, I still want to see how this will come out! Ill baby it to death though...

shiroun

I swapped the tail lights actually. Traded them for the stock ones except with a black vinyl tint. The middle one is still bright though, gonna tint it so it matches.

shiroun

Wired up everything to the steering wheel/gauges and the middle console (which was really the temperature **** and the lighter, no radio right now, albeit im thinking of putting a USB port that can play straight to the speakers in).

Once it warms up I'll get the stuff in the bay done, it shouldnt take more then a day or two if i have all the pieces. Then i'll probably need 2-3 days to get the engine wiring done.

Then we get into the rela fun.

WingNut42

have you thought about just buying a new wiring harness for it? it sounds like it needs a new one... or do you have all the wiring?

also i love ef's and i cant wait to see how this thing turns out. good luck bro!

shiroun

I have all the wiring for it, it's just that it was all clumped together. I have the engine sensors harness as well, which I'll install once i'm done in the bay. My only problem is i don't know how to wire the ignition (using the starter and ****. ZERO idea), and I have to hook up the battery. Anyway, picture of the day:
Got the radiator and antifreeze hooked up and in, as well as getting the cold air intake in (i'm gonna do a unique pipe for it soon since this is a little iffy)
