I guess its time to start this. Bought this car last year mid September, bone stock off an old guy for a steal. With full intentions of doing a poor mans Type R and just makin a clean car.
So when winter rolled around I decided to pull the motor, but I didnt think that when I pulled the motor I was gonna get as involved as I did. I figured I wanted to build the car I wanted the way I wanted and the parts Ive always lusted over. So here it goes.

Will keep this updated frequently as the build progress' with pics!
Ive only been able to work on it one day a week for about 8 hours at a time due to working two jobs and having two kids....so I do as much as I can when I can.
Sorry for some of the crappy pics....

The day I bought it







This was just a few weeks after I bought it.....couldnt leave it stock for long:
wheels, suspension, lip, fog lights and carbon duckbill




So here is the start:




Motor out:




This is where new decisions were made and the fun begins.....This changed the whole build....







This is where I am at right now.....almost ready for paint.





Here are pictures of some of the parts I have.....will post more as pictures are taken and parts come in!


AEM Intake powder coated wet black


USDM ITR seats MINT condition....couldnt resist...


CTR carpet, didnt need but wanted


Innovative Mounts and Nardi wheel with NRG hub and quick release


T1R mid section


Mugen Twin Loop Muffler


Broadway Mirror, T bolt clamps for rad hoses, Mugen Oil cap, BWR Lug Nuts, RC310 Injectors, Skunk 2 Cam seal, Blox TPS, Master bushing kit

Got more parts in today....


Blox rear tow kit, Rear camber Kit and wheel studs


Function N Form Type 1 Coilovers

 

nice start and nice parts so far


all except for those energy suspension polyurethane bushings, dont install them, they are junk, they dry out and will seize up and fall apart over time

sell them and buy hardened rubber bushings, mugen, hardrace, suja 1, pic, all offer bushings, hardened rubber and spherical bearing, just stay away from polyurethane

 

Build looks good , whats your plans on the final results ?
