Default Europe poorboy's EG6

Bought the car in 2009 summer, the previous owner was a mid ricer but the car wasn't bad at all so we can say that I saved it.
So '93 frost white EG6, 160.00km on it, sunroof, ac, etc...










The car had lots of ricey items like rims or the recaro seats (not SRD/speed of course), tires were gone, so before replacing them I prefer to invest in getting the car back in 15", I get rid that 17" rims, ricey and didn't match the style I want for the car.
I couldn't afford something like volks or rega so I think that one of the best price/quality are the buddy club P1 racing, I matched them with toyo t1r.








car had a ricey air filter, I found an oem air box, bought mann filter. Engine sound improved and definitely I was lossing hp with that **** hot air intake




front brakes were very worn so I get e'spec 282 discs with the caliper relocation bracket to use the stock calipers, e'spec pads too.
Calipers free the rim almost by miracle, I managed to relocate the rim wheights because they scratched my calipers on first meters.








slightly mods, door panel inserts, amber corners...








I had little problems with thieves so I decided to bought an nrg quick release + momo montecarlo.










I managed the recaros, and mounted the oem seats, ****! they are ****ing chairs. I get a bride replica to replace driver seat.






with temporarily fixing system...

And this is a stuff have been working on some time, dc2 cluster into my eg.








you know it's hard to find an integra cluster connectors, nobody wants to sell you them and get his wire loom without, so you have to buy the entire wiring that means $$$ for only a pair of connectors, so I was thinking and had an idea.
first harness to test it on the car.




worked ok so I redid it to one more well done.









plug and play baby




trip solution (3 diferents version of the piece)...











here it is, like oem

well... that's the jdm version, here in europe honda sold the EG6 with B16A2, of course without things like you say, but with a b series.
I think that in USA you haven't an eg with b series from stock isn't it?
car have EG6 letters on his serial number vin

Clean eg man..

Those dials look great! Did you end up re-pinning the blocks? Is it 100% functional?

fully working, I used the cut female connectors from the eg cluster and his circuit board, some soldering, some wires and patience.

another awesome pic:

exhaust update.

bought a cheap 2.25" exhaust, my mid section was pretty rusted and previous owner deleted the small silencer on the stock mid pipe so, in the anual local inspection gave me an advise for it. Only for getting out rusted things from the car worth it.




I ordered the exhaust for eg6, but when I tried to fit in the car it doesn't with the chassis, mid section was too longer so it stayed down the fuel tank I don't know if this exhaust is not for eg or the usa/uk catalytic converter are shorter.




the final section was impossible to fit because bends where in touch with the rear sway bar and it doesn't reach to the mid section, so I can't bolt it.

In a long story, I can't return the item so I was able to cut the mid section about 5 cm, dewelded a flange, cut the pipe and welded the flange like it was, now it fitted ok.








Final tip remains in home, I don't know whats happening, if it's for another model or what, anyway I will leave here some pic's compared to a genuine spoon N1 eg6 to hope anyone trow me some light on this.

Ebay exhaust system? Should have known better! Hangers are different, bend is in the wrong place.
