I obtained this 93 Cx through a trade about 3 years ago. I don't have any pictures from the time I got it until now. The only thing done to this car was it was lowered on steelies and a D16Y8 swap. I haven't really had a whole lot of time to work on this car until now. I was on my way into the army and between basic and AIT then going to Korea for a year I am finally in a house and settled and can actually start working on this car. Getting a 02 Subaru Impreza WRX for a daily helps so i can keep this car safe in the garage. I have had 2 Honda's stolen from me. My beloved 00 Milano red EM1 and 93 Si hatch.

I was going to go with a K swap but with my goals with a K is out of my budget right now. So for now I am going to work with what I got. I am going to boost the D series. The Y8 is completely stock. I will be doing a wire tuck as well as finishing supporting suspension and exterior modifications.

What I have done so far:

Suspension- Tokico blue struts and skunk2 springs and eBay rear lower control bar. (Will be removed)

Brakes- Swapped GSR front spindles and rear control arms. Drilled and slotted rotors all the way around. Hawk pads up front and Oem Honda pads out back. Good-ridge SS brake lines.

Wheels and Tires- Flat black Rota Circuit 8's and Falken Azenis.

Exterior- Sebion carbon fiber duck bill no led. Oem ex front lip. Vision amber corner lights. Oem stanley amber side marker lights with password jdm wiring. Oem honda mud flaps. Painted Honda emblems black.

Interior- Sony head unit and Sony front door speakers. Skunk2 short throw shifter and Skunk2 weighted shift ****. Broadway mirror.

Performance- Aem short ram intake. HKS high power exhaust.

First thing on the agenda is getting this car fully converted to OBD 1. Not exactly sure what this guy did with the swap but I am going to fix this mess of wires.

Here are a few pics. Need to find a nice place around here to take some good quality pictures. I know my paint is chipped in some places. A new paint job is in order as well.







All positive and negative feed back is welcome.

 

Car is clean very good starting point, sure itll be a nice build im following!

 

Skunk2 intake manifold ordered. Thanks to Bluer. Will have install pics when it arrives.

 

Skunk 2 intake manifold and new wire harness install this weekend.

 

Look good and cleann..

 

Received a package today. Thanks to BlueR for a great price and fast delivery. Got my my skunk 2 manifold today. Need a Z6 fuel rail cause they Y8 has the FPR to the left. Need it on the right.

Debating if I should order a hondata intake manifold gasket.

 

Looks good! Couple things I'd change.. no tint, OEM muffler (EG, or DC mufflers both work well), and maybe some foglights to fill up the cuts in the front bumper?

Good luck with your build!

 

I am gonna order a fog light kit from passwordjdm this weekend

 

Nice so far, in for more. Why dont you just get a set of Depo fogs off ebay? You'd save like $90 and be getting the same thing more or less. Plus you could get the ones with either clear or yellow fogs.

 

I ordered some of those and they didn't fit right.

UPDATE: Tonight I pulled out old manifold and wire harness. Will post pics tomorrow. Y8 manifold and obd 1 non vtec harness up for sale if anyone is interested.

 

This morning I rolled the car out of the garage to rinse off the excess fuel and antifreeze off the back side of the engine and clean it up some. Went to Honda this morning to order some OEM parts for my manifold.



When I was pulling off the injector clips I lost one. When I rolled it outside in the sun I found it laying right here.


Got to pick up another fuel rail and vtec harness this weekend.

 

NICE!

 

Ordered all new hardware for intake manifold from honda.

 

Don't order from pw...I think someone sells it locally on ia

 

I will try to figure out who it is then.

 

Ordered Golden eagle thermal gasket from jhp with free shipping FTW!!!

 

Got around to working on the car after being in the field for 4 days. Came home and my gasket i ordered was here.

JHP was even nice enough to throw in a sticker and a 5% off next purchase

OEM hardware for my intake manifold

Had a problem with my IAT sensor fitting so got a file and fixed that problem

Everything put on
