i get numerous calls, texts, emails every day about "when are you building a new car", "whats going on with your new car", "i heard you have a new car", etc.... everybody keeps telling me to start a thread and even though ive been avoiding it i guess i am finally giving in!

my grey coupe was a lot of fun. since day one even when i used to dd a civic i always had a coupe. ive tried hatches, integra's, etc but an eg coupe has always been "my" car so i figured after the **** storm integra and taking a break for a while, i'd go back to another coupe.

here are a few pictures of the old car from the turbo magazine feature. i have never hated a car as much as that one haha



cluttered ugly engine bay



ive had the car for a while now and just slowly working on it here and there. i currently dont even know what "class" im building it for. did all of the dirty work in the wheel wells to allow for 26's if i ever decide to go that route, but am planning on running 24.5's for now. unsure on running a 67 or a 72.... ill figure it out eventually haha


and here it is the way i got it. craigs list find.... bought it with a gsr swap, and immediately sold the swap for more than i paid for the whole car. so its essentially a free, excellent condition EG. off to a good start!



i need to upload some pictures, take some pictures, and quit being lazy and get some more work done on it...but i will update this as much as i can. going to the races with out a car SUCKS, so no more of that! wish me luck haha

 

Good luck on the new project I'm happy to see you back on the driver seat. Wish the best for your project.

 

Free cars are always good looking forward to seeing what you do with it!

 

im a coupe guy myself. built plenty of hatches and my fair share of integras, and i always came back to the coupes! it seems there are alot of eg coupes coming out to shine here lately. good luck with the build!!

 

hell yeah joe glad to see u back at it, And in a coupe

 

 

sweet ill see you out there in my coupe also!

is this gonna be a truestreet. sfwd, or outlaw car?

 

hey jason i sent you a message on FB a couple weeks ago, i assume you never got it?

thanks everybody, pretty excited to get things going again!

lol, good to see your doing another build again. i was wondering what was going on with the teg. you were so close to 8's too. good luck!!!

 

Looks good, Joe.

Still have some of the goodies from the teg that will make it's way to the new car?

 

Hell Yeah!!! Finally, he comes out of retirement

 

dooo werkkkkkkk

 

Good stuff, I have always liked your cars.

 

glad to see you going back in the driver seat and goodluck with the new build.

 

thanks guys, this one should be way nicer than the integra.... the integra (engine bay) just looked so cluttered and gross haha

i saved a few parts from the integra.... however i did sell my gear set, which i am kicking myself in the ***** for now!

 

Glad you're excited on it again.

 

Glad to see you back at it man! And glad you are back in a coupe! haha

Gotta show the coupes some love!!

 

good luck joe! i was going to make a very smart *** joke, but ill leave that for a pm.
it had better be gray. hahaa!!!!

 

So is it cool to post up about new builds w/o pics of the project?? I'm thinking you could have at least showed off the clearancing of the fender wells...not a coupe sitting in the parking lot.

My junk is at least gutted. Guess I'll have to start my thread with the pile of dusty crap parts from 2004 laying next to a POS car.

Very Cool Joe.. Good Luck...

 

Looking good Joe!

However, I am partial to coupes lol !

 

Start a thread, everybody likes to see a car start to finish. There will be plenty of pictures, the last thread was nearly 100 pages long.
