Default EJ6 Build thread...Give me ideas!

This is what the car looked like when I got it originally...






It was salvaged title....was rear ended, which messed up the bumper and then pushed into a tow hitch, which messed up the front end as well.

Had misc parts cracked and torn, which I'm slowly starting to getting around to fixing. It was sitting on steelies and no hubcaps, had a cracked manifold, bad PS and overall very dirtydirty!



But at only 122k...Not so bad!

One year later...

Did a 97-00 conversion on the rear...plastidipped the trunk lol




Front end still cracked on the one side....cant decide if I want to do an 00 conversion on the front, or do the SIR conversion all around...

Oh yeah, heres that clean *** engine bay!



Next on the list it to get new wheels and suspension....

Give me some of your ideas too!

It was sarcasm, but being grumpy all the time probably clouds your sense of humor

Sarcasm. I don't think that word means what you think it means.

dude i just bought a 96 hatch and a 97 hatch and im happy with them...theyre both getting swapped as we speak once all my parts arrive.. i cannot believe how great the marketplace is on here. i find anything i want for good pricing from ever better people...can't go wrong.


seriously though enough about me.... Clean up the sedan and sell it to someone who needs a 4 door in good shape and use the money and just make the drive to wherever you can find a decent hatchback. they're alot of fun and look a helluva lot better than a sedan!!!!

Leave the bay completely stock, but tuck every single wire you can and repaint/replace old worn parts. Drop, wheels, a few interior pieces, body and paint, just make it clean overall. Different, clean, reliable, done.

Put a 00 front end on it and take that condom off of it.
I think you should do a smooth ride upgrade to it. There's been enough swapping and money spent on speed on an ugly car in these threads, which isn't really bad per se but it gets old.
I think it would be really awesome to clean this thing way up. Give it a really sweet interior, make it ride quiet and maybe drop it down just a little bit (please don't slam the **** out of it), put some nice wheels on it, give it a really luxe paintjob, add some nice stuff to the interior.
Basically turn the honda into a mercedes
