Welcome to the build from hell..
Well this is like the 7th car in a year and each one i get so close to getting where i want it but end up trading it or selling it. But this one here im gonna stick to and finsh it im tired of spending and wasting money on something ill never get it back out of.

i got this car in a trade for a 00 civic hatch fully build b20v that was involed in my garage fire, the hatch had heat damage from the fenders up. I put the hatch on h-t for sale or trade and i had someone wanting to trade for a 96 ls boosted coupe. I took a ride down there to see the coupe and end up trading him..

Here it is on the way home






when i bought it it had a turbo ebay kit and made 260hp at like 200tq, i hated the way it sat. so the 1st thing i did was buy coilovers and some suspension parts, roof rack and hood bra..



i end up going with:
blox full coilovers
blox lower lcas
benen lower tie bar

here are some pics after i put the suspension and winter wheels..









Next thing on the list (witch im in the middle of doing now) is the get a better turbo set up and try and get alittle more hp out of her. i end up going with.....
- b16 head ported and polished intake side, supertech valvetrain, GSR cams
- turbonetics t3/t04 .48ar w/ stage 3 wheel
- blox exhaust manifold
- turbo smart 38mm wastegate
- tial bov
- precision 1000cc inj
- act 4 puck clutch
- hasport motor mounts
- golden eagle ls-v conversion kit
- GSR shaved valve cover with a home made oil catch can set up
- aluminum radiator
- GSR ARP head studs
- walbro 255 fuel pump
- Gm 3 bar map
- blox intake mani
- 31x11x3 bar and plate intercooler


lol yes i know i took the pic in the house (everyone on facebook picks on me) but all the stuff was clean and new so it didnt bother me

so today we adjusted the valves, got the vtec wired up, got the 3 bar map wired up, tried to figure something out with the wastegate but no luck so im just gonna have to buy a newer style turbosmart wga cause there the only one u can use without wacking up the head and wga with the blox exhaust mani..
that yellow had to go...




got the intake mani on..

 

and came home to these...

 

didnt get much done today because i drove 4 hrs each way to pick up a wastegate so i can get this bad girl done, instead of waiting 3 or 4 days for shipping.


the only thing we did get done was the intercooler fitted

 

Looks sick i jus built my ej8 ls turbo how much were yer coilovers and intercooler

 

the coils were 599.00 plus shipping and i paid 250 for the ic off a local friend
