Default My first EG

I picked up this EG about 2 years ago. Here is what I have been able to do so far.
When I brought it home it was lowered on ebay springs and Koni struts.






After I picked up the car, my first mod was skunk 2 springs. I loved the stance but I wanted to do lower.







I bought function and form type ones. and wanted to get these Konigs.



I even sold my Si's because the shop said that they would have them in in a month. I bought a built head off of KCSR.org and rods from STLHONDAS.com Everything else is coming along. Well 3 months later and still nothing so I just took my money back and bought ESM wheels. here is what followed..






I decided to go w/ ESM wheels





first set of tires. i would regret buying these.



Camber kit all around.





Type One's



I decided to redo the rest off the suspension.






























July 2011

I'm saving to have the block sleeved so hopefulling be looking at something around 400 to the wheels if I do everything right. But this is my daily so who knows. I have learned alot about my car these past 2 years and hopefully if all goes according to plan I will learn all about building boosted B's here real soon.

JHPUSA.com, but I would not recommend going with the setup I have. Go with something stiffer. JHP sells Blox that are much stiffer. I wish I would have gone that route.

looked much cleaner with the Si wheels but the new ones are decent.


Were those Konigs you were going to get CCW replicas?

I feel you on that, my eg is stripped bare and im putting a 500+ whp b16 in it. For autocross I would recommend konis and ground controls.

It was so clean and straight, now it looks like every other hellaflush Civic with pulled fenders.... Why bother installing all that fresh suspension if you can't even make a full lock turn at any kind of speed?

^^^^ I have to agree with with whiteslips on this one.
I was digging the car until I saw that wheel/tire combo install.
It just confuses me why people would think that was an improvement to the car.

I assume you hosted the rest of the pictures on Facebook as I cannot view them on this browser.

Car looked good from what I can see.

Always remember, less is more.

I gotta agree with both of you after his previous "i want to run autocross comment." he will have a hard time running autocross with the car setup as it is.

I don't plan on running auto cross with -5 degrees of camber, I'm not that stupid. I would like to get a set of J's racing front fenders(15mm wider than stock). and rivit on flairs for the rear. I want to run -1.5 in the front and -1 to -1.5 in the rear. right now I am at -5 in the rear and -2 in the front. I did the stane like this because I was sick of what the car looked like. I already have my plans in place, now i just have to get everything and finish the project up.
