So I'm picking this car up tomorrow, and I have a lot planned for it.

Its my 1st car I've ever owned thats manual. I recently learnt how to drive stick, and now that I am good at it, I love it and will never drive anything else but stick.

Anyways here are some pics from the kijiji AD.





Some rust I need to fix






I have some de-ricing to do.

Stay tuned. Subscribe

 

Brought it home last night. Washed it up a bit today. I work in an hour so I couldnt do much today.

So what it needs for safety is:
2 exhaust gaskets. One in the back and one where the cat converter is
Left lower ball joint.
Right front brakes


Also I need a valve cover gasket

 

So i completely tore out the interior(aside from the dash). I cleaned it all up, sprayed it with rust proof and put it all back.

Here are a few more pics. The ricer that owned this car switched the spedo to MPH. So now i have to change it back to KM

for sale 50$










Also the car is wired for subs and an amp. Thats a plus

 

more pics today of body work

 

Nice start but take them ugly *** tails off and put matching rims on. Maybe some si rims? But dont go over 15 on ris please

 

2x bro!

 

So what are the plans for this car?

 

Going to switch the tails and front lights to OEM

Exhaust will be skunk2 front to back

then ill fix the body and paint her flat black

then some ccw classic4 knockoffs

re tint

sound system

 

And thats going to be the build? Why a junk2 exhaust?

 

Thats just so far. I have a v6 engine ill be putting in aswell, but that will be in due time.

Skunk2 exhausts are very good. Not junk sir.

 

was gonna post pics today, but got called in for work :p

 

Just got back from the mechanic for a safety.

I need

2 lower control arms(have a backup set)
strut pin bushings(have already)
exhaust
right side axle shaft(have)
small hole on qp

 

So I did some body work just so I can pass safety. Then I will get the whole body re-done professionally.

Started to grind the rust off. I found so much bondo and i guess this car had the QPs cut out.






Just for now until I bring it to the mechanic on friday when everything is fixed for safety


I took off the ricer tail lights just to see what it looked like. Not too bad just some surface rust. Ill grind it out tomorrow. But ill probably get a cf trunk anyways

 

V6!!!! oh my! ive been wanting to see someone put in an 04 accord engine in a civic (the v6 vtec one)

 

I have a j35 from my moms old acura MDX. 490xxxkms on it but I took it to a machine shop and I got new everything. So its new now. Costed me nothing for the engine and 2300$ to re-do the engine.

 

Just a small addition. I went to the junk yard this morning and got a front bumper. Suprised that this was mint as hell. Not even one scratch.

 

Just patched up the rust hole so I can pass safety. I dont think im going to do body work on this car. im going to take it to a shop. Body work is too annoying lol

 

in canada you have to fix rust before you can pass inspection?

wish they'd do that in NY> you should see some of the trash people drive around down here.

 

It was a hole in the quarter panel. Any holes in the car will not pass safety.

 

in high school I had a crx that had a fist sized hole through the quarter panel....passes in NY, no problem.

Hmmmmm...I should go up there and buy a acura EL that is rusty, lol.

 

lol. yea i guess you guys dont need to fix rust. Thats good, and bad :p

 

Will be interesting to see where this goes...but only naive kids put junk2 parts on their car. Adults know they are all marketing hype so kids will come running with their money. Sorry for the disrespect, but their parts blow.

 

All their parts except the exhausts are ****. I find their exhausts very good

I might get a custom made stainless steel exhauust with a mugen twinloop muffler now.

 

^That would be cheaper to do anyway, would sound alot better as well. Every junk2 exhaust I have ever heard sounded so bloody ricey. Twinloops sound good regardless of what the actual exhaust set-up is.

 

So I took the cluster out and removed the ricer gauges. Now my spedometer doesnt work. So I cant see which speed im going. Ughhhh.

LOL I JUST DISCOVERED THIS. JDM Y0




Now for the de-rice
