hello everyone,

im fairly new to honda's but ive been working on japanese cars since i was a kid. Coming from nissans, this is a VERY weird change, its funny to see the differences just between 2 companys, and how they build their cars.

Im in the Air Force, currently stationed in Germany, believe it or not this is a US spec car (you'll laugh about this later) and i spent about $2000 on it (too much, i know)


anyway, this is my EG how i got it a few months ago


Sorry for the bad GoPro picture, but it was the only camera i had at the time


bad picture, but there is the typical rust on the rear fenders (terrible rust, you'll see it in other pictures) dents everwhere nasty half chipped blue paint/silver blades, and it has been smoked in.

there were some goods with it though, came with del sol seats, a nice radio and some subs (that i will never use) and the engine.... well, here it is


yes, it is a ZC. it came with a D16a9 but it blew up 4 days after buying the car, and the only other ZC i could come across is a D16Z5. So, this car is quite the mutt.

but in the past few days i have done a bit of work, and there is more on the way. ill let the pictures do the talking

my hood was too messed up, so i found on on the junkyard on base that was in good condition


also, painting the blades seemed like a good idea


a picture of the roads close to where i live here in germany, be jealous


then i started looking under the car more

oh dear, my cheap ebay exhaust has a hole in it now, i still havent bought a new one, but i have mounted it better until i can get a new exhaust

then the mailman wanted to be really nice to me

f&f type II, f&f lower control arms, skunk2 front uppers and rears, and a couple squash air fresheners (cant go wrong with squash haha)

rears off


new rears on


new fronts on


how it sits now



i have a lot of updates coming up for this car, including ITR brakes and a B18C4. also, i already have new rear fenders and paint is on its way haha

 

Looking good, keep it up

 

killer roads and blades look clean !

 

i wish i could find a set of blades at a good price here. they look better on EGs than anything else, IMO.

 

man i am jelly of those roads!

 

Hatch is looking good.Keep up the good work brah

 

What plans do you have for it? Will be interesting to see where this goes...

 

return those skunk2 cambers. waste of money. OEM is better

 

Keep us posted!

 

are you still riding with the red hood...

 

I'm also jealous of these roads you dirty bastard lol!, but nice so far dude so looking forward 2 this!.

 

Those sawblades look sick white! hmm....

 

having a hard time coming around to painted oem wheels

 

I think they look way good.. The blades.. Glad my rims came white OEM... in JAPAN.

Bourngoofy, are you at Rammstein? I've been through there once for a week TDY it was awesome.
I am AF 2 GL w/build.

 

those roads... damn you. lol, it is nice to see some honda love from Germany tho

 

nice build. i'm digging the F&F parts. keep up the good work

 

so far all i have ordered is this (takes forever for things to get here from the US/Japan)
B18C4 coming from the UK, should be here any day now
Its Proper amber "bubble" shift **** (really, its just an amber shift **** lol)
Apexi WS-II cat back
Nardi Deep Corn 350mm with a nrg hub/quick release
ITR brakes
and i have new fenders already, just waiting to find a good body shop to do it here for less than 1000 euro (if not ill just do it myself, not because im not able to do it myself, i just dont have the time)
paint will be soon after that in some sort of galaxy black

how so? i like the adjust-ability of them, and they havent given me problems so far, lmk though, i havent seen too many bad things about them

for now, yes. until i can get the car prepped for paint

Thanks ! when i got the wheels they were some nasty blue that was chipped and all that, i was going to polish them but when i got all the blue off there were some gashes in the wheels, so the polish was a no go as they would look terrible

and no, im at spangdahlem. its about an hour and a half from ramstein

thanks! cant go wrong with f&f

 

Looks great man can't wait to see more !

 

small update, got my fenders so i thought i would post a picture of them


nothing special, but not bad for only $80!

 

Good build so far!

Let me know how these go, I'm scared to do mine lol. I had to pay $180 her in Canada .

Good luck.

 

I paid $100 for a pair shipped to my door in Canada. Pays to shop around. Mill Auto Supply out of Ohio has an eBay store, and they ship to Canada with USPS. Killer prices, and good quality Danish steel.

 

i got mine from mill's. i paid $85 shipped to germany but i get them shipped APO so it like shipping to the states

 

^ You shoulda checked eBay Germany first before ordering from home - same product, a bit cheaper, and shipping is super fast since it's local.

 

Money

 

Very nice. Can't wait to see where it hoes from here.
