YEEEEAAHHHHH
I've had a few threads up with various updates and pics, but figured I'd throw everything together in one thing, such as klyph, Chris, Cel, and others have.
Soo...here goes.
Got the car from Jeef in September 06'. The car was in mint condition, black on black and I had to have it. "This is a lot cleaner than I thought" -
Lol at D15B7.
The car had a ton of miles on it, but drove great and showed no real signs of serious wear and tear. Sold my white coupe and went onto bigger and better things.
Over the winter and early spring I had done a good deal of work to the car.An EX cluster, Fidanza short-throw, SiR-II strut bar, RSR exhaust, test pipe, OBX header, Vision corners and Progress lowering springs were put on in short order. EG6 clear fogs were also put on shortly after. I was still rocking steelies at the time, since some theifs had helped themselves to my Rota slipstreams while my car was parked at college.
My car at an early spring meet.
I then found a complete D16Z6 Si swap for amazingly cheap money. It needed some TLC, but it was a done deal.
After..
About the same time I ordered a set of 15x7 Konig Heliums wrapped in 205/50/15 Dunlop rubber.
Much better!
I finally was able to swap in the Z6, along with some Samco hoses, IL4 clutch line, a socketed and chipped P28, ACT clutch, Cusco rad. cap, low temp thermostat and fan switch, ES mounts and a ported EX header. At the same time I fitted some clean EG6 JDM corners, replacing the played out amber corners.
A major suspension overhaul was in order, so Ksport LCAs, a GSR rear bar, Blox endlinks and KYB GR-2 shocks replaced the tired struts. Inside, a Type R rear strut bar was also installed.
On the interior side of things, I went all JDM. And EG6 steering wheel, Type R knob, armrest console, coin pocket and foglight switch bezel were all installed.
Coin pocket and switch bezel were not installed when the pic was taken.
On the outside, nothing major, other than an antennae block off plate and a JDM 'Coupe' badge. I also removed the peeling and unsightly CIVIC DX sticker on the back of the trunk.
And basically I ended the summer with those mods. I haven't done much else over the winter, other than redoing my VTEC harness, a slight wire tuck and a new distributor. A BDL fuel rail was also installed, in the anticipation of more power this spring.
15" steelies with Yoko Iceguard tires are helping me get through the snow this winter..and thats about it.
I a lot of things waiting to go on this spring and a lot of other things planned.
Stay tuned!
