Well Im finally ready to begin with my project, is been over 2 years since I started this project, but because of school (in other words I was broke) I could not begin this. And I want to share this build with other fellow honda lovers. At first I was going to build the engine and install a turbo kit, but then I realized that the car needed new paint. I was able to get a few suspension parts and a good set of tires since I needed them.
Here are some pics I took with my phone that show the progress so far

Here is the car when I first got it.



With 17's



The rear disc conversion




I got a good deal on a front and rear sway bar and ASR subframe





I painted the valve cover with the wrinckle VHT paint and it came out
nice





A nice set of 15's that needed new rubber bad



New exhaust



At the shop when I installed the ws2 exhaust



This is how it looked a month ago




Before I started to remove everything to take the car to the paint shop,
I removed the old radiator support and installed the oem one.




After I removed engine and transmission




Stripped off the interior






I decided to replace the clutch with exedy stage 1 and fidanza flywheel





Ready to take it to the shop






I will upload more pics showing the progress. I still dont know what color I want. I would like to paint it milano red or roma red, but I am still thinking about it.

 

Good start cant wait to see the rest!

 

Looks like a very fun build indeed!

 

Always loved EBP on EG hatches, also cant go wrong with a nice black. Either way nice progress, I was worried when I saw the 17's but it got better.

 

good start

 

Thanks guys, I got home today and "voila" new parts arrived!

 

What was wrong with the original radiator support?

 

About a year ago I tried to tow the car and the support bent, so
I bought a cheapo one to fix it fast, It was the taiwanese one, not the oem.
I was going to paint it like that but I saw the oem for sale on craigslist
and I got it, I prefer to have the oem.

 

absolutely.

 

 

nice build so far ,what color you painting the car? i also like the vht paint i actually found a wrinkle gray that discontinued the other day. cant wait to paint mine

 

Thanks man! I will probably paint it milano red.
Yes the VHT paint looks really nice, you are not going be disappointed.

 

nicee

 

yeah i used the black on one valve cover and it came out really nice , i wanted red like yours but all the stores in ct are sold out,so i wound up with wrinkle gray. i havent seen any w. gray

 

UPDATE

I decided to paint the car milano red, here are some pics showing the progress.

some items had to be replaced such as the front bumper and the hood















I am going to start putting everything together this weekend and will upload more pics

 

NICE! I love ground up resto's!

 

I was able to put everything back in the car and also I got some goodies













I gave away my cold air intake and forgot to buy one so I used a vacuum filter hehe
and used it like that just to take the car home



The new intake



While I was working on it I discover that the intake manifold had a crack
so I got a skunk2 intake on craigslist with a Hondata gasket but they did not fit
because they are for a b16, the guy told me it was for the gsr and stupid me I did not check it until I was going to install it..so now I have an skunk2 mani for sale with Hondata gasket







Si I decided to get a new Intake and got the skunk2 mani



I also got the duckbill



a new shift ****



Before



After



This is how it looks as of today







I want to drop it because I dnt like the way it sits right now but I dnt know what to get.
I currently have the tokico blues and they are nice I like how they ride but I want to drop it more. I also want to be able to adjust the height, I dnt take the car to the track, but once in a while would be nice. Since the car is my DD I want something that is not bouncy or too stiff. I was thinking Function and Form Type 1's since I have read good things about them what do you guys think? your input would be appreciate it thanks

 

nice
a buddy of mine like his type1's over the koni/gc setup.
if your tight on cash, look at the progress cs-II. im running that right now and i love it. not too stiff. not soft at all. and it cost about 600 shipped.
look in the sponsors marketplace.

 

Not bad they seem to be a good set up

 

So nice. I love the red with the P1's. Quality all around.

 

Good job and very clean

This color is very nice when brand new !

Your car will be perfect a bit lower and with a SiR front lip.

 

Thanks guys, yes I need to drop it more and get the SiR lip for sure

 

do you care that you painted the windsheild black plastic border red? Lol cause it would bug me , looking good though ,like the valvecover

 

Good idea

 

Thanks, hehe I removed them and I didn't put them back on, I need to order them.
