Well this is my fourth car in like a year and my wife had it with me putting money into a car and trading it so this one is under her name, so i figured i would do a build thread for this car. I got laid off and so i gotta be careful what i buy with my unemployment checks. So for now this will be a slow build lol, ill try and do something to the car to keep this thread alive lol.....

Now onto a lil history of the car, car was originally in Oklahoma and then it got traded to someone in dallas, tx, then my friend got it and started to part it out cuz he needed money, and then i got it from him. I got it with no ac, and thats a must here in texas so that was the first thing that i started to piece together so that my kids wouldnt sweat their *** off.

My plans for the car is to just have a nice clean daily with some baller parts (like everyone else lol), might do a swap later on down the line but dont feel like finding new b series ac parts lol

nice man dig the stance

 

thanks i had to lower it, when i had the slips i had it 4x4. i had stock struts and ebay springs.

 

sold some random **** i had laying around in my garage and bought a bunch of pwjdm stuff and some stuff from fatlace

 

friend wrecked his si the other week and he is starting to part it out, so imma get the heater core and box and all to do an si climate control conversion

 

green steelies are baller status

 

thanks, i gotta redo them cuz when i painted them they had bad tired and then i found some used ones and the dude ****ed two lug nuts and a wheel stud, so i think skunk2 extended wheel studs are next and prob a new set of lug nuts

 

small update, i got my pwjdm parts in today and totally forgot to take pics till they were on the car lol, and i picked up some oem clips that go on the grill, i only had two broken ones, so i got 7, 5 for the grill and two for the top of the bumper, lookin at buyin some srr bumper quick releases











now gonna clean the bay, and paint my valve cover cuz that black mess is bugging me lol

 

I'm liking this man, keep it up

 

thanks man, i wish i could get more parts faster like i have with my other cars in the past but cant right now, but im working on it, tryin to do some worth wild updates lol

 

Yea I know what you mean, but the way I look at it is the more struggle you have to go through to build something exactly the way you want it will make it mean more in the end when you can say its done for the most part. It's never done totally lol.

 

Small update....

I was looking at my engine bay and was gonna start cleaning it up, but i decided to go ahead and paint my valve cover cuz it was that dirty black





im gonna redo it cuz i wanted it to have more flake and it didnt really come through like it has before on other cover ive done.

Also i needed a front bumper support so that i can install the front tow hook, and i found one on craigslist today for 20 bucks with the foam so i picked it up



Drilled the two bottom holes for the tow hook



Started to grind a square on the back but it got late so i had to stop lol



Ready to go on



A buddy of mine also wrecked his 2000 em1 and i got the si climate control and im in the process of getting center air vent, and heater core harness, blower box, complete heater core box to do the conversion



thats it for now

 

Wooot if ur thinkin abt doin the front end conversion to 99-00 dont do it urs looks great with the sir front bumper n lip

 

naw im keepin my sir front bumpers, makes it a lil different from other cars, i just want a double din cuz i got a navi that i wanna put in there, but i also want it to be functional so im taking those parts out of the si to put into mine

 

Finished my front tow hook, im 97% pleased, i think its sloppin downward a tad, so imma take it off and try and lever it out



cut the hole a tad to big, good thing u cant see it lol















might order my srr bumper releases tonight, gotta wait for the wife to fall asleep lmao

 

nvm its definetly sloppin down lol, its coming off to get it right my apologies lol

fail

 

bump for unemployed ballin lol

 

thanks justin beiber

 

yea it looks like it is hangin low lol but should be an easy fix

 

yea i was thinkin of putting a washer or two on the rear bolt to angle it up, cuz the bumper support has a angle on middle of the bottom

 

Update......

Got a package in the mail



My illest badge, imma try and make my car live up to that badge









picked this up from a ht member rubydc2 for a good price





My friend Josh aka redem1ftw aka justin beiber aka vanilla delight came over and we worked on my car and got him his much wanted wink mirror lmao

fixed the droopy tow hook







next step clean the under carriage make it look clean



on



we then decided to tackle my o2 sensor issue, i picked one up for 10 bucks, and my justin beiber made me an extension so that it could reach the o2 sensor socket in the back of the header



me trying to take off the o2 sensor plug/delete (wasnt hooked up) just a plug that was so tight after 1.5 hrs of tryin to take it off we gave up, gonna take it to my friends shop and put it on the lift to try again



thats it for now
