Default An EF build like you have never seen

So i made a build thread nearly a year ago now for my CRX, it did not go to plan, for those of you who didn't see the build thread, the interior was spray painted red and the front was hit along with 30 other petty annoying things. bought it for 700 bucks in jersey, fixed all that nonsense and then never got the front to line up. Conclusion, RAD support was bent. sold for 1500

Then i stumble along this little beauty that a friend of mine happened to have just gotten in a trade. 90 dx with rear disk, gold slips, bride short shifter w/gsr ****. HID's, si tranny, clean as hell.


I got right to work. on some cosmetics and electrical.

GSR Center
si cluster
front lip
si bumpers
sold the wheels with the intent of getting jspecs but my dog got sick the next day and used the money for vet bills
eg arm rest
quick release wheel
adjustable coilovers
amber corners
painted off brand wheels.




She was looking real good and everything was coming together, And although i knew it was coming it still sucked, motor blew. Not a big deal she was gonna get swapped anyway, so i got a daily and was ready to get to work. but then bam, lost my job. Not cool. that was about 2 months ago. i now have a new job and a baby (don't worry they don't take up as much money as people think). Things are back on track and i'm ready to go.

So basically i plan on making my car unique. A lot of fiberglassing and making my own parts. No bodykits or anything stupid, just different.

updated-plans changed, read on!

so onto my current progress.
Another edit, thes plans have been put on hold for now. read on.

So i actually updated today. but i accidentally closed the browser. so i'll do this again...

edit-new updates further ahead.

I'll be picking up my d16z6 next week. At the point the real fun begins .



and a shot to motivate me, what she once was and soon will soon overcome

Thanks! i hope it goes to plan, if it does i'm going to make a mold of it to make more and maybe sell them. once a mold is made this process is 10x easier. It takes long this way because i have to build the wing 1st before molding it. we will see!

Your big toe made me vomit. You owe me beer.

The wing could come out cool though.

It's next, still no updates because i STILL have not gotten paid. hopefully that changes today. Once i do the sued will be on the way.my job sells a can of 40$ 3M adhesive that is supposed to be amazing. We are gonna find out i guess. I might take the wing off today and get her cleaned up a bit cause shes just gross right now. Also might be putting steelies on to get the hammers painted and have yet to get new tires. I also decided finding an unmolested single cam is nearly impossible, they all have swapped heads and ebay headers. Not to mention specifically looking for a Z6, i hear the y8's have a lot of stupid problems. So i'll be getting an LS. Possible with a b16 head since a friend of mine is selling a stock one never touched.
