Ok unfortunatly i dont have pictures for everything but decided that a build thread will help me keep updates on pictures. its a slow process. but its getting there. I hate these rims with a passion. Started out with something like this.



It had a JDM ZC in it but it smoked really bad. don't know the exact cause, could be head or bottom. so i pulled the motor.






The new motor. D15b7. picked it up complete motor, tranny, shift linkage, axles, harness for $150 from my friend. Stage 1 Cam, Resurfaced head.





The motors in





Interior was clean.





No Radio. Going to Put on in soon

Will update pics with more progress. gotta find camera.

 

Upgraded Suspension to Tokico blues with Ground Controls. decent set up.

 

Then I got rid of those crappy rims. LS mesh rims. OP painted them red. im going to strip them back to silver.

Put JDM side markers on.

put a VW Jetta Front lip on

 

good start sir.

somethin seems off about those sidemarkers though. seem a bit small maybe? and aren't they normally mounted a bit higher? hell i dunno lol

 

sidemarkers look fine to me...it would look a lot better with the stock polished ls mesh wheels though...!!!

 

ah whatever. if i ever did sidemarkers.. i'd mount those bishes higher.

and i concur they would look much better polished. hell even black or flat black would be straight

 

yes i agree. polished. next step. any ideas on doing it? i was going to use lacquer thiner. but i heard airplane industrial remover works magic. what you think?

oh and D16, the crx sidemarkers sit higher i believe. thats probably what your thinking of.

 

looks like a good start, dont like the first set of wheels.

 

me neither. came with car. ugliest things alive. picked up the car complete though for 600.

 

descent start. and yup the side markers need to be up a bit higher.
as everyone said strip the paint and polish the meshies.

are you going to get rid of the barney tint?

 

already got rid of the tint. gotta get pics up of it. and on hatchs the side markers sit lower that crx's

also another question. has to do with brakes. when i brake the pedal almost reaches the floor. ive bleed the system 2 times now. so could it be my master cylinder or my brake booster? thanks.

 

them sidemarkers are in the right position on the hatch and for the sedan...the crx uses them a little higher...!!!

 

i likes them rimzzz. gotta get me a pair. haha

 

Looks like a good start

 

ya well i wish i had ls vtec! and a j front! like you! haha

 

i spoke to an importer and he is getting some EF parts at the end of the month. he might have a EF9 front end for you.


my LSV is only the meanwhile motor until my ITR build gets on its way. if i ever start gathering parts for it. LOL

 

i like it... mine is close but white!

 

good suspension set up.i have the same.love it!

 

who? Venus motor sport? or is the guys name Joe?

 

it would be easier to change both out at the same time.

 

damn good price,wish i could find a deal like that here a hatch here that clean goes for alot most of the time,so now i got to dump more money in mine to get it clean looking.

 

Cleeeaan Hatch Bro. Hell of a project base.
I got OEM Struts with Grounds for now, and some tokicos just chillin. Once i Make my Tophats then i willl switch them over.
So far im just lazy. HAHA

 

Some updates. Currently not working so incomes been super low. but i messed around with what i had and picked up a few items.

Got a NRG Quick release set up with a Personal Steering wheel!

A GS-R Dual bend shifter(small modification required)

And ITR Shift ****



Next was a little project i had going. was tired of the driver side seat being worn and beat so i took the passenger side and slapped it on the driver. it was easy but time consuming.

Took off the rails


then the cover to the pads.



swapped backs



when putting the foam on the new side you have to cut it a little for it to sit flush



also have to put a small slice in the cover
Before

After


The Girlfriend Sitting on my damn seats.



as you can see the driver tear is to the inside on the passenger side now, and the driver side is fresh and comfy with no tears!




crap picture from outside of car but got a hatch cover from my friend for free, unfortunatly two holes from him putting speakers in there



Then i made her clean up

i had to still.....

 

That shifter ****.

 

Btw. Yo girls cuute.
