Default Daily driven ej coupe build :) first time

So I bought this 94 dx for 1600 from a good friend of mine. It was in pretty decent shape except for the bouncing idle but I fixed that so it came out to be a steal. Here it is when I first got it
I put the ls wheels on myself. Got those for a steal as well. 160 with brand new tires
I installed new pioneer front speakers and head unit and called my audio a day lol
Then I installed some 5k hids from ddmtuning.com then on went my function and form type 1 coils




Looks so much better lowered than the monster truck status lol
After I installed the coils i decided to work more on my interior so I got a eg si cluster and a spoon sports shift **** and ITR shift boot

Sorry about the glare on the spoon logo
Then I installed some clear sidemarkers and function 7 lcas and asr subframe brace. and that brings us to now lol let me know what you guys think thanks
And i know it needs paint and some minor body work...waiting til summer to do that after wheels get ordered





oh and i did the right thing and put my ls wheels back to silver lol


and heres my little man Aiden helping me keep her clean lol

The type 1s ride real good, not bouncy at all plus the drop on it is just perfect and I'm nowhere near maxed out

I figured since its just a daily and not a track driven car just yet I could skimp on the sway bar...but probably will end up getting an itr sway bar before July

Why would you buy a sub frame brace if you didn't have a sway bar?

Cause I do plan on getting a sway bar...and whose to say that the brace still doesn't help without a sway bar? I went the brace route instead of buying a lower tie bar so that way I can add a 22mm sway bar later

Just do what you think needs replacing bro, anything seriously worn? Any big leaks? Bushing upgrade? Things like that and it'll make it hella better and reliable

No major leaks whatsoever. Probably just needs a valve cover gasket and spark plug grommets. I really want to do energy suspension bushings since my front bushings are stupid worn. Know of any sites that have them for my car?

Haven't updated this in awhile...it's kinda slow right now since its my sons birthday soon and I've been throwing cash on that but I did manage to order a rear edm tail lights with the fog light in them. My plans after are to get myself a driver door with no dent and paint the whole car then get me a quick release system and nardi steering wheel then after paint and that it's gonna be all engine. Ill update this a little more often and after April my build should happen a lot quicker than now

I would get a wind splitter and some canards and maybe a rear diffuser the only down side about getting these is I can't find any specifically for my car
