Well, here's my '94 EJ1. Got it about 2 months ago, and started working on it slowly. It had a few things wrong with it, so I've started to slowly take care of them. It also has a JDM D15B SOHC VTEC in there, so it's what I'm gonna be working with until I get a B16 swap.

What I've done so far:

- Fixed the driver side lock; got a whole new assembly as the old one had a rod broken off and had one of the rod connectors busted

- Found a 12v cig lighter cap, it was missing one so I picked it up at the junkyard

- Fixed the passenger side power window switch..the switch would open the window but not close it, got one at the junkyard and now it works a charm
- New gas cap, again courtesy of junkyard - the "Honda Motor Co."

and "CAUTION OPEN SLOWLY" was faded on my old one. New one looks nice and slick.

- Junkyard to the rescue once more, gut new hoses for my windshield washers - previous one was busted. Works very nice now, have some nice windshield washing fluid in there too instead of just water.

- The valve cover. Ripped one off a D15B at the junkyard (not enough experience to take the whole motor and couldn't test it to know if it was good, I wish I could've just taken the whole thing though) and got working with a friend to get it nice and polished, then painted. Pics will show.

- Yellow ricer H's came off; got brand new stock H's for the front and back. Looking a lot nicer

- Shinier oil cap, just regular stock black one.

- AEM Short Ram Intake..I know, it's no CAI, but I'm in Florida and when the flooding gets going, the CAI turns out to be a bad idea.

- Small little detail but the passenger side seat was missing the rubber cover on the back handle to push the seat up. Got that at the junkyard. I like to pay attention to these little details

- Kenwood speakers for the front and back; 140W Peak/28 RMS for the front (5.25") and 160W Peak/32 RMS for the back (6.5"). It's no Infinity but ALL the speakers were blown when I got the car, so it'll do for now. $80 for all 4 at my local pepboys, it was an impulse buy.

SO, as an intermission, lets go on to some pictures!

Here's my baby (needs some body work here and there as can be noticed):


Look at that terrible yellow H...what were they thinking?!


Pretty big dent on the driver-side door there. I know, I need new rims. Badly. I'm working on it.


Again, the yellow H kills me. Glad it's off now.


Psht, my EJ1 TRYING to be all sexy.

Now, here's the engine bay BEFORE my new valve cover:

Break fluid was low..got it replenished.

Here's the new valve cover...

If anyone wants to see the whole photostream of my friend and I polishing+painting:

And also, ta-da, the new H's!

Back:


My friend's '06 Eclipse GS in the back there..psht. He has nothing on me ;p

So I think that's all the pics..for now. Here are the things I have planned for the near future:

- Cat converter. Need one pretty badly, my car sounds like a mad bumblebee when I rev it. Really sucks, and besides, it's pretty illegal not to have one (I blame the previous owner).
- Fix up all the small dents, and especially the door dent. Want my body smooth again, I'm having a bodyshop do it as I'm not sure how well I could do it myself and don't want to mess with my car's body.
- H/E, already took care of I. Definietely need something nicer in that department. Thinking GReddy SUS headers / EVO2 Catback exhaust. Opinions?

- Then we'll see where it goes from there..can't plan too far ahead ;p

So there you go! Hopefully I'll be able to show some decent progress up until summer











The pictures don't do the cluster justice, it all looks nice bright amber, even the fuel/water temp ones. My camera just sucks as it's from my phone

 

i seriously can't believe i scrolled through all of this to see a automatic sohc with a painted valve cover.

ugh.

could've at least posted more pics of the 16v scirocco in front of you.

 

yah well i'm working on it. it's what I have so there you go ;p
the 16v scirocco is my dad's

 

nice lil project good lcuk wit it

 

the first mod should be a clutch petal

 

i figured i'd wait 'til i swapped to go manual. driving auto is a bitch but i guess i have to live with it for now, unfortunately not swimming in cash like i wish i were, lol

 

at least its a honda id make it shiny sell it to some chick ( AT ) for more than its worth and buy a MT but that just my opinion. good luck with it anyway, black always looks cool tho.

 

Now i have been away from H-T for about a year now, but "back in the day" this forum had to ask some sort of tech question...not just show pics of a stock car.

Did all the thread ****'s retire?

 

i thought i did a pretty good job in my role as thread ****..

should i curse more????

 

Alrightttt just got her detailed today and the HX rims on there! Still needs a drop pretty badly and some body work, but here's what she's looking like after today:

 

this belongs in the appearance/cosmetic forum
