I figured that I should finally post some pics of my baby even though I haven't gotten to do any work yet because of school and not having much time for a job. The project will kickstart this summer ( I hope ).

I bought her for $1100 back in December thanks to my WTB craigslist add. The previous owner is a great guy and has answered all of my questions, even after purchasing the beauty. She has about 256,000 miles on her D15B2. All the mechanics are working soundly and theres just a bit of rust and body damage. I'd say I got pretty lucky with her.

Here's my to do list for the summer:

Si interior
Si gauge cluster
Integra console swap
Big 3 upgrade
Short shifter
Body work
Paint job (Rio or Cardinal)
New headlights and corner lights
Color matched bumpers
Lips
Fog lights
Custom lit rear garnish
Exhaust
15" Slipstreams or OEM wheels
MPFI
B16 swap
Wire Tuck

But enough talk. Let's see it!

I know I got the wrong vanity plate. :-[



I'd say she looks good for 25!






The front seats have a couple missing chunks, so I bought some cheap seat covers till I get my Si seats.




And Totoro!



Once I start tackling the list I'll post pics of the progress.

Please let me know what you think of my plans and leave some helpful tips or good parts suppliers.

 

Whats a big 3 upgrade lol?

 

i hate to say it but you got ripped off
i bought mine for 1500 and the whole car was mint

 

not true. Any car that runs where I am from is at least $1000, it really depends on your location/supply and demand ect.. Its worth what he paid just for the gas milage. Just because we both got our minty Hondas for a steal Ochata doesn't mean he got ripped necessarily!

 

It's a wiring upgrade, so the car can manage a better sound system along with other stuff.

Good point. I would have loved to find a mint EF or CRX, but there is a very low supply in OK. I have the only EF I've seen around where I go to school and my home town (no surprise there. There's only me and an original owner CRX)

Most of the 4th gens out here are rice, or don't run. Either way, they're always overpriced.

 

Update: 4/20/12

Came home for the weekend and decided to clean the engine. She was caked with about 12 years of red dirt and grease. I bought some Simple Green and went to town. The belt cover was brown before.



She's not perfectly clean, but she looks a lot better than she did.

 

I gotta say for the smog laws I have to put up with in cali I'm glad most of our efs and other hondas could be found 1200 price or so in great conditon and most jdm shops are out here

 

Yeah, sometimes I wish still lived in Cali.

 

Austins,

Where are you in OK ? I just bought one too 89 si hatch in very good condition and I am in Okc .

 

I live in Edmond -- till the end of the semester, anyway. PM me if you want to meet up sometime.

 

Not much of an update, but still worth posting up:

Someone hit my car today. At least I was going to replace the doors anyway.



Looks like Honda doesn't make quarter panels anymore. I've heard that pwJDM stuff does't line up well, either. Anybody know a good place to get replacement body parts?

 

damn that sucks

 

my car was mint until i accidently drove thru a hailstorm in oklahoma...

 

I know. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long to replace them.

 

Final update on Yuki.

Unfortunately, she's totaled. I had just gotten to my home town after finishing my semester. I had just come off the highway. On Broadway, a car was being impounded, so everyone was in the left lane. Just after passing that tow truck, I saw traffic start to move and go back to two lanes. As soon as I started to accelerate, I noticed that the Camry in front of me wasn't moving. That's when I slammed on the breaks. Rear ended a Camry. Thankfully, she just needs a new bumper and tire.



R.I.P. Yuki
