holy build thread! i just finally checked your thread out! good shit man!! car looks sick...and gonna make some nice power mang!
Cool man, you are in the spokane area right? I try to make a run over hwy 20 at least once a month when washington pass is open. Next time I am headed for a cruise on the east side I will try and get ahold of you and see if you might be interested in cruising.
thatd be awesome actually.. i need some decent pictures of my car. all i have are the ones that i took with a tripod and my parents shitty digital camera lol
thanks, and yeah its already put down 320whp/282tq, but im going for more obviously haha
yeah im in the spokane area.. i like to drive my car so driving to meet up wouldnt be a bad idea
updates on the car.. i put the drivers side fender and side skirt back on today. i also re-installed the OEM mudflaps that came with the car when i originally got it. looks pretty good.. ill take some pics tomorrow/this week as i will be driving the car again
pics as promised (sorry theyre from my phone).. just got in from a drive/tune sesh.. car is now tuned on 20-21 lbs of boost.. and its an animal. i am very happy with my build.
as you can see it started snowing so my drive was cut a little short. i wanted to hit the dyno today but there were no times open, and also i have a feeling a few inches of snow will be on the ground by tonight.. so its probably best that i dont get it tuned on the dyno in the interest of keeping it out of the snow
as stated before the car is street tuned on the new boost level though, and its a noticeable difference. im fighting for traction in third, fourth wants to spin reallllly bad but barely holds on. im hoping these issues will clear up with warmer weather and less moisture on the street. the tuner was very surprised with the results (being a non-vtec LS)
AFR's are steady 12.0-12.5 all the way to 8k RPM's, car is using hardly any oil anymore, runs and idles smooth, no hiccups.. finally made it to the end with this damn thing lol and a good portion of the progress is thanks to the information available on HS, and also the people here who answered my questions/ helped troubleshoot when i got stuck, so thanks to all you folks here for helping me get this thing to where it is today!

^_^ i have a used OEM 99-00 grille that is going to be put in place of the cheap aftermarket one on the car right now. same story with the front bumper.
id probably go for an Si grille, but to be quite honest, im going for the semi-stock 99-00 look on the outside. the only thing that i want noticeable is the wheels/stance of the car.

Screw the Si badge, you don't have a sunroof. This has inspired me to go ahead with the 99-00 conversion though. I'm going to start putting it together.

Also, I have this light. It is the handiest mother fucker I think I've ever owned. I don't use it TOO much, but I got it for Christmas 2009, and I've charged it once.

I thought you meant the little Si badge that is on the front grille. That makes more sense. I like the empty grille.
Yea me too. That's why mine is empty. He wants an incognegro look though.
On a semi related note, I didn't know you had an EK hatch. You should just sell It to me. Or your EF if you still have it.

ok, so now that it's finished, are you ready to sell it and start over? lol
thanks man, ill be happier when the other bumper goes on and hides the front mount
the stock 99-00 front is the only way im gonna go i think. the si grille would just look out of place on my car, because i dont have anything else that even resembles it. semi-stock interior, semi-stock exterior, on a car that performs. in my book, you cant beat that
ahaha well sadly enough, the plan is to be in a new car by this summer. im still undecided on what though.
if i go cheap: 03 CL type S 6 speed.
if i go expensive and performance oriented: audi s4 quattro (4.2 V8)
if i go expensive and luxury oriented: 06-08 acura RL
still very open to other ideas though
lmfao.. i didnt notice that until you pointed it out..
from urban dictionary lol
@92stoccord: wtf, i didnt know you have an EK? pics or ban
