That's interesting, I didn't realize the EG/Integra stuff had a wider track than the EK stuff. Not bashing at all, sorry if it came off that way. I'm just picky, I don't care to see daylight on top of tires

I'm not usually a big fan of blue either, but there's something about that one, especially with the bumper moldings... the combo looks so Euro!

 

I'm running an eg/dc front subframe/flca's and manual rack and noticed no change whatsoever in stance when I did my k-swap. I wonder if there's a difference in knuckle assemblies or hubs

 

Don't know how accurate it is, but I heard eg/dc rta are 5mm thicker than ek.

 

Same thing here, when I swapped in the DC2 stuff in prep for my J i didn't notice a track width difference. Knuckles are the same, hubs are the same, to the best of my knowledge.

 

ITR ones are for sure, but it's in the hubs. The trailing arms are exactly the same but have spindles with longer axles on them.

 

No offense taken. I have the 4x114.3 setup I'm not sure if that matters. So we are all on the same page, My wheels are 16x8 +32, a 16x8 35 rega clears EK chassis's with ease. I doubt 3mm in offset difference kicked my setup out past the fender. This is also at stock camber settings. All I did I was swap everything from my integra to this car. EK's can generally handle fitment better than DCs. The "poke" on the front should not even exist. I had no poke on my DC.

 

Change of plans, EK4 Ferio 99-00 interior, non folding back seats with arm rest, all black LHD interior inbound from the UK, ugh...too much work ahead!!! Still gonna dye the EL console because it's kinda...required at this point with consideration to my audio system. Parts collection begins. The only think i'm still gonna do is buy a donor back seat from like a hatch or a sedan and use the material for my Recaro and have it recovered. Pics will come...one day.

 

Sounds like good things are on the way. Excited to see your choice.


I have a few updates nothing grand. I ended up getting the exhaust system done using come mandrel piping ( traded a CTR header for the Mandrel piping ). The sound and look of the DTM system suited my integra so much more. I may end up getting rid of it in the future.

here you can see the previous user had some crappy angled flanges.





Being summertime I can't deal with having no AC. I mocked up the DC2 condenser, made some mounting holes, and drove the car to my friends AC shop so he could do his tucked magic.



Picked up some Crower stage "3/4" cams for a future endeavor. Since I'll be dual dutying my sedan. I do not expect it to last long. If it does great, If not I need to be prepared. The LS R/S ratio isn't kind for high rpm usage. After the dyno, and peak power, I feel we won't need to rev as high anyway. Again, better off planning now then waiting.





I believe the motor setup is right around 30miles or so, and it's first oil changed appears to be stellar. Removed the moroso mag drain plug and went w/ PSWD. Has a long magnetic shank. I'll throw some new plugs in and re-adjust the valve lash prior to tuning.





onto my non essentials again, LOL. Some spoon & spoon style goods, for maybe, a vtec setup.





ganadorish style type replica knockoff power mirrors. Again I don't want to spend 500+ on mirrors. Ferio block offs run from 1-170, then spook ek mirrors are 450-550, and I'm not about that life for a mirror. No can do; Even the spoon reps were 170, I wanted those most, but I've seen those on many sedans. Shooting for something a lil different.

 

love all the progress on your sedan joel!

 

I must admit, this material is WAY better in person!!! I recant my statement about not liking Honda OEM materials, they redeemed themselves with this one.

 

Been a while..

 

Very nice. Like them Prelude wheels on their.

 

Great update guys! That's looking good up there

From a distance

 

A couple of sneak peaks of my Saturday.

 

I'm slowly working on the new sedan. Got the seats and door panels installed.

 

Dual duty? planning on tracking the sedan?
What size? look huge.
Nice to see some progress. Plans for the dash?

 

Free Air 15"s. I'm not a huge bass head, but there is something about effortless low rumble that makes life better. A setup like this runs on low power, with low current draw, and doesn't take up a ton of room. Not that it matters, because the trunk isn't gonna really be usable anyway.

 

I'm in the same boat you're in, slowly working. I had to do a good amount of triming yesterday to get my seat in, because it doesn't fold. Still working on the rear speaker tray, trying to find pics of the one that came with the seats.

Are you planning a full black interior? A large amount of mine is in the mail.

 

It's been a couple years... Haven't messed with cars in a while, but got curious on how the thread's been... Sold the civic to my buddy who's now workin on a K swap into it... maybe I'll pop in in the future with updates of the new iteration of my old car in the future. Here's a few shots I pulled from my archives.. Some group shots with couple other norcal sedans, and a couple when it was fresh out of the bodyshop. Happy 4th!

 

Spent the weekend in the mountains. Pushed her pretty hard but still feels awesome in the turns



It goes into the body shop tomorrow to fix where it got backed into, fingers crossed it comes out well

 

The dash sticks out like a sore thumb. I bought black interior paint and will try that for now and see how it would look. I'll start with the small interior pieces and work my way to the dash.



I'm thinking of painting the interior. Why trim? Aren't they plug n play?

 

Hey Larry, nice to see those pics again. I think that was the last time I got together with the NorCal peeps. Time flies. I sure miss my sedan.

 

Thanks Ninja! Gotta catch that coupe LOL

That looks sweet Cobb. The quality does look much better than the pre face version.

So clean. I agree w/ Bently, those wheels flow well.



What's going on here?? Green? LOL JK Love the interior. I was just hoping to see a red car resurface.

Yessir! But to enjoy myself. Not to beat anyone or anything. I just want to go out, relieve stress, come home. Do it all over at the next event.

That was a nice setup. Love the projectors. Something I'd like too do in the future as well. If you do get another sedan ( if I perceived it correctly ) interested in the outcome. Good Luck.

Looks like fun to me up there. So much greenery. Nice pic.


Happy 4th of July everyone.

Some non-essentials arrived while the car was out getting fitted for AC., these were in motion before I checked into my Parts Anonymous help class. HEHE The column light was a gift. I'm pretty lucky I'd say. In return I gave the lad a header.















Got My car back Sat. Morning. My buddy finished up the AC setup. For the price it could have been nicer IMO, but more importantly I have AC.



Yesterday I took some time out to get a few packages out of my house and onto my car. I went ahead and installed the Ferio spoiler, Rep Lip, and mirrors. The mirrors had to be the worst replica purchase ever. That's what I get for being cheap. The only plus was, I liked the refreshing look. It's different from the spoon, and I do not want to go through wiring OEM PFM's again LOL. I chose a rep, sir lip for one reason. Visually I have so many ideas, but I couldn't be lipless until then. With the rising prices in lips I failed to commit to a real one's price tag. Again fitment was, "get what you pay for." Now if a customer ever asked to purchase one of these I'd certainly advise against it. It was too dark, by the time we finished to capture the intricate install.









Packed with dings, and dents, 4 different colors, I set out for a night shoot. Only to find out my daughter stole the cameras memory card LOL. So these phone pics will have to do.

 

Had to pull out the lower hinge mount to clear the seats and I removed the upper latch mounts to allow for a little more mounting room for the baffle. Had to drill for the center hook. I have to dye the center console and my kick panels, so we are both gonna be hoping it turns out alright.

 

Part 2 of my essentials arrived.







and then a 4th of july pic.
