Damn 1500!?!? That's a steal.

Looking good man great job on the seats for sure.

 

Ran across these Honda Fit accessory HPF 16" wheels a couple weeks ago, rubber was shot, but wheels were almost new, only used 4 months from coming out of the box. Cost me $180, so $45 a wheel, and look pretty good I think

 

Getting some new tires mounted on the 16"s, so running the Work wheels again for a bit, with all the plasti dip junk removed


Found a good OEM muffler to replace that Spoon cat back which way to loud for a daily. Had Honda cut and program a new key, got some OEM wiper arms and inserts

Car needs a new front bumper which I'm currently looking around for a deal

 

ukdm bumper do itttttt

 

pretty good deal. What are ur big plans?

 

Like the updates. Hmm, I think I got the last set of wiper arms in the US, so smart that you're replacing yours as well.

Which wheels are you sticking with? Much of a difference in weight?

That's funny - I just put on a DOHC sticker just like yours on my ZC-equipped CRX. Great minds think alike.

 

Plans are to source out some deals, being patient, but they pop up all the time. I want a clean, reliable and well optioned car at the end of the day.

still up in the air about wheels, I have a few options. Those work wheels are forged, and stupid light, about 8.5 lbs, and my ch stronger than cast. A big changer in my build happened last week, as I ran across a low mileage done car for cheap!

i bought a donar car, cheap!! For $500, I got a running, driving ep3 with smashed front, so no front end parts, but never reached the engine. The car is complete otherwise though.....full interior, good suspension, brakes, switches, plus some pretty decent OZ mag wheels called Super Laggara. Only has 80k on it

 

Also received a type R center console, so installed it......

Because the car had such use, the seats were in premium condition, fabric like new, top and bottom, so swapped those in, putting the original seats up for sale. Last month, we had a new staff member start at my work, a previous ep3 owner. I bugged him, asking if he had any left over, low and behold, he did! Don't have pics yet, but getting the rear, and side shirts still new in box from Honda, some extra brake rotors and calipers, and all four wheel hub and bearing with on 15k from new, all for $400. I'll update once i have finished paying for it.

 

Update- Although winter, not a lot happens in Canada on a DD during this season.....

Currently running on some old school rims with winter grips. The original tranny is not all that good, so looking forward to the engine and tranny swap in the spring



Found a young kid that sold me a somewhat rare HFP suspension he removed from his ep3 to dump it on coilovers. Got a full set of new Tokico blue struts with the red springs for $100



lastly, I imported a new lower console from a Type R from Europe. The couple parts I wanted was the Orem shift boot, as it's finished nicely without a plug in style allowing for other different shift ***** to look proper. 2nd, I wanted an 12v supply that finishes off with the Orem cigarette lighter, just so it looks normal. So much better than a plain plastic void that comes there originally

 

Well, the clutch master cylinder began to really fail on the car last month, so parked it till spring, then finish it off.
picked up a bunch of new and used stuff to install then too.

New- found new in box, oem side skirts
- new rear lip
- Progress rear sway bar brace

used- Profress rear sway bar
- Neuspeed rear mid bar
- Spoon rear strut bar


Car should be pretty decent when fixed and upgraded

 

Sounds like it; that rear bracing you'll be doing really helps out. Couple RSX braces you could add just under the carpeting too, if you want; I did them all at the same time, so no idea what did what and how much of it, but since you'll be in the area...

 

Got my bumpers sorted out. The rear, I found at a local junk yard, a whit ep3 with rear lip $30, amazing deal

 

I stopped by Honda and picked up a brand spanking new oem front bumper (not as cheap), I wanted perfect fit. Finding a used one, is next impossible

 

Body shop done with paint on new bumper and hood.....it's coming along.

 

Wow! Nice pick ups.

 

Behind in posting progress.......

New painted parts installed, and full engine and tranny swapped from my parts car, low clicks, runs like butter
