Well, I picked up a 99 GSR Sedan very clean with a blown engine (broken block #1 cyl) at the auction for dirt cheap and have already peeled off the front end and taken the entire drive train out. Ordered a ITR front clip and got that already. Planning on RHD conversion and front end swap. Had to test my new motor last night, just hooked up a fuel source at the lines that were cut and cranked it over. Check it out........

Added 2009 Civic SI Seats (Front & Rear), car came with Tein Springs and KYB GR-2 shocks, Very little 1/4 panel rust. Anyone looking to buy a GSR trans or cyl head, or Gray Leather Seats??

First thing's first, throw those GR-2 shocks in the trash can (or recycle bin to be more PC).

 

droolsssss............
man bro nice i like what your doing i will be following your progress

 

Why?

 

you call this a mild build? holy crap

 

I'm sensing a lot of scarsam in the statement "Very Mild." And why are the gr-2 shocks bad? I have yet to have any problems with mine. Knock on wood. Lol

 

wow nice!

 

looks good so far. Have fun goign thru fast food drive throughs though lol

 

kyb gr2 are oem replacements there not ment to be lowered, i had mine lowering with tein springs for a while and they blew

 

Got ya..............maybe I'll rock them til something goes wrong......lol........


And yes, I mean a mild build (to me anyways.......).............don't believe all the stories about how RHD firewall swaps are hard.........The only hard part is going to be extending the wiring for the rear portion of the car, and that's where the wiring diagrams come in handy..........splice, solder and shrink wrap.......to some the swap might be considered "hard" but if you take your time and you know what you are doing, then it's not all that bad............

 

Ahh good point. Ill rock them till they blow then replace everything with a koni/ground control setup. I couldnt afford it when I needed to replace suspension parts so I just used the kyb's and h&r lowering springs that I could afford.

 

This.

My Koni Sport shocks have nearly 200K miles on them, always lowered (some of that time on GC's), still work great. You probably would go through at least 4 or 5 sets of GR-2's in that amount of time.

 

Bump

 

Firewall finally free of RHD Clip...........What a pain in the @$$!!!

Let the build continue...............
