Default JJT315's 1999 VSM EJ8 Build

How's it going everyone?

I live in Central NY, and recently purchased my first Honda.

Sadly enough I lost most of my pictures of when I first got my car, and started doing some mods. I bought it back in April, just after what was supposed to be my winter car started having a ton of problems.

It had a '01 B18C1 swap w/ 68k, a pair of Recaro Speed seats, PWJDM: Kevlar Intake, Blox SiR Rad + BWR Hoses, winter eaten Tein Super Street coilovers, and a skunk2 lower tie bar.



My first mod which I'm missing pictures was a B&M dual bend SS with Energy Suspension bushings, and a Blox limited 490 Neochrome shift ****.

Next came the Personal Neo Grinta with NRG Quick Release in Neochrome, and I modified my EJ8 cluster with EM1 Gauges and Red LED's.





Shot of my Honda infested driveway :guns:


Next came a lip install in which I purchased a Spoon Style Poly lip, because I knew our junk NY roads would destroy anything nice I tried to put on :angryred: I figured I should color match it since the side skirts were already done!









I started on some engine bay cleanup and removed my Cruise and A/C.
After this I did a respray of my valve cover, and some engine dress up. (PWJDM Oil Cap + Kevlar spark plug cover, Buddy Club ground wires)





So much room for activities! lolol







Base Wrinkle Coat



Ceramic Enamel Coat and letter sanding





Installed a Skunk2 Alpha header, BWR Test Pipe and a N1 catback (All 2.5")

I also ordered a OBD1 chipped ecu from Phearable.net for this setup.



After full exhaust install and dress up



Got a set of Schroth Rallye 4 ASM harnesses, and installed them.

Looks good. Gotta love NYS roads. But in all honesty it's nice to know that a fellow upstate guy is on the site. I'm near Albany where are you?
The 315, in between Utica-Rome.

Some interior shots:





Here is an update, have a lot of stuff on the way.
Going to do a bit of work over the winter while my car is garage kept :rock:

I hit a dear about 2 months ago, and luckily there was only hood and bumper damage. Fenders and windshield were okay, just needed to replace some front bulkhead pieces as well as the headlights.







Some parts I collected:



I probably wouldn't have chosen Gold or BWR/Blox/Rokkor, but my buddy sold me all of these parts brand new for $300 total, so I couldn't pass up that deal. Going to miss the Tein SS's nice ride, but I want to go low and they are wicked seized up and I cant move the perch rings.

Also not pictured is a Blox 21mm Rear Sway, black housing headlights with xenon bulbs, and pwjdm endlinks, and extended top hats w/ energy suspension bushings.

I also plan on picking up some Spun Supamesh rims in Machine Silver:

Spun Supamesh Rims

Got my girl all warm and cozy in my dad's garage, so I don't have to worry now. Couldn't help but do some minor things today while I was there.







Pulled the Bumper and Hood off, and started to bend the bulkhead back into place.



Started to replace rusted bolts with Password JDM Hardware, and fitted the headlights.





Thats basically all I got done today.
Soon to come is coilover and rear suspension installs, and painting of the new hood and bumper.
