Hello everyone! I've been reading a lot of build threads on here, and it has given me the inspiration to actually take the time and write my own. The build isn't going to happen overnight (I wish), but I'm slowly getting my parts together.

This is how my DC sat the day I bought her:




She may look somewhat fresh, but she has the normal rusty quarter panels.



My first mod because you gain so much horsepower from stickers. Especially because it's JDM. Lol.



I put my rota slipstreams on from my DA. (R.i.p.)



Yellow headlights, and slammed on Tein S-Tech's.



A ViS carbon fiber hood, which I got for an extremely good deal and the kid only had it on his car for a week.



Next came the swap and another set of wheels. The motor is a JDM B20B ordered off Hmotorsonline. I had the motor previously in my DA. Don't forget the sweet Tein hood bonnet damper. Sexyyy.



After the swap was done. Skunk2 Intake manifold, skunk2 68mm throttle body, AEM Intake, skunk2 test pipe, and skunk2 catback.



And oh yeah, a fresh set of wheels yet again. Lol.

By now I was tired of blowing stock shocks with my springs, and invested in KYB AGX gas shock, H&R lowering springs, blox lower control arms, skunk2 lower arm bar, skunk2 front and rear strut bars.



The KYB's and H&R's are not pictured here.

Around this time I had bought a GSR head off of a "friend" who had blown their motor. The "friends" told me it just needed resurfaced and new valves. Well, after I get it I come to find out that it's not even worth fixing. No, I did not flip it over to check it out, because I trusted this person. Big mistake.



She then got a set of Del Slo seats.



A month or so ago I had the BRIGHT idea to paint my valve cover hot pink. Lol. I'm a girl so I'm allowed to.



She then got a pair of Si wheels for a few weeks and a fresh @ss set of EP3 seats.











The last picture is of me and Andy's teggy's at MIR last year!

Sometime within the past few months she received a USDM Type-R cluster and a Type-R steering wheel.





I had also picked up some Eagle H-Beam rods earlier this year. Fresh, never used.







That is all the progress I had as of right now. I'm going to look at some more goodies tomorrow after work, so I will keep this updated. My future plans motor wise is to do all motor b20/vtec. I am definitely getting body work done to fix the rust, repainted and I want to go RHD with a JDM front. That will be a far far time away. Lol. So, let me know what you all think and if you have any suggestions. Thanks for reading!

Is your car automatic?

 

For right now. Waiting until after I'm done re-building my motor and everything for a conversion. Figure I'd take care of it while all the body works getting done.

 

i like the valve cover

 

Badass

Love the SI wheels!!!!

 

Thanks guys

If you like the yellow headlight thing, you should try doing them this way.


Looks a little cleaner

 

Update: picked up a fresh b16 head last night! Its ported, polished and resurfaced. Guy gave me the intake manifold with it. Anyone knnow if I can use my skunk2 one?? Ill have pics up after work.

And the ep3's yes I used the stock rails. We bent them so they would bolt up but they sit reallly high.

And my headlights have that lovely fog they get after so long. Im not really worried about it right now. Lol. But thank you for the idea.

 

Your skunk2 intake manifold won't fit. I tried that about a month ago. Hahaha. Nice ride. Keep the front and make it Si-R. Just get oem foglights and si-r lip for type r lip. That's wat I have now. Not much people go with si-r front. But its up to you. A rhd with type r front would be clean too.

 

I actually was looking at the Si-R front before the jdm front. I like the fog lights lol

Here's the pic's of the b16 head:




PR3-4 Head








My Skunk2 cam gears

And last but not least:


There she sits with the daily driver

 

yeah you're going to need to manifold for either an si or type r. but yeah sweet ride. hope things keep getting better. imo though the yellow lights are kinda i would of did the whole diy city light thing. but yeah that's your thing so keep it up

 

not bad what cams you going to get?

you going NA or boost?

Id say ITR or BC3s if you can afford...need upgrade valvetrain tho

I'm using stock GSR cams that I had from the previous head. Until I save more money then I'm going with all skunk2 valve train, cams, etc. I can't wait just to get this head on though!!! Lol. If any of you are going to Honda Day November 8th at Atco Raceway I'll be there doing bracket racing. Or the next day at M.I.R. for Imports vs. Domestics. Not sure if I'll be racing at that one though.

 

Good thing you ditched those rotas

 

nice cars wats the hp on the car?
