What's up guys and gals. I picked up this car a few weeks ago due to my Integra getting stolen. I picked up the car for $700 and the motor needed to be replaced due to the PO blowing a headgasket and trying to run the car.
I've decided to go ahead and post up a build thread. It will be starting off slow but chances are pretty good I will be getting on at the plants with my sister when I get my TWIC card.
This is the general plan for the car for now:
Interior/Exterior
JDM Headlights
JDM Front Bumper
JDM Side Skirts
JDM Rear Bumper
JDM Tail Lights
JDM Fender Flares
JDM Liberal Grille
JDM Rear Window Visor
EVO Seats
Suspension/Braking
Tein S-Tech Drop Springs
Rear Toe Control Arms
Megan Racing Front Lower Tie Bar
Megan Racing Rear Lower Tie Bar
GTZ Sway Bar
EVO Calipers
Stainless Steel Brake Lines
Slotted/Drilled Rotors
Ceramic Brake Pads
Intake/Exhaust
Custom Cold Air Intake
Megan Racing M-N1 Muffler
Megan Racing Stainless Steel Headers
After the motor was replaced ($500 for the motor, $500 for labor with new gaskets/seals, spark plugs, wires, and a timing belt) the radiator ($130), water pump($75), thermostat($25), and lower hose went out.
Then on to pics:
First time seeing the car.
More work to do.. Fun.
At home, tinted the tail lights and changed the oil.
Then chilling, working on a friends car. Brought him to TGC an d he is looking into modding his 9G.

The PO wrecked the car (obviously). I got a quote from a paint shop here in town and they quoted me $990 to repair and repaint the passenger fender and the hood, straighten out the radiator support frame and paint it flat black, then paint and install a new front bumper, grille, and headlights.
I'm thinking a JDM front end while I'm at it, anyone else feeling it?
Go pre facelift style.

My goal by the summer is to have the front end fixed and have her lowered. Maybe and hopefully some more JDM body parts like skirts and a read bumper. Gotta look good for the summer cruises am I right?
Why not do something different? JDM is nice & all but it's getting kind of boring IMO

I think it looks better than the USDM with a lip, and tons better than a body kit.
If it's any different I'm getting the VR4 front extensions with it.
You mean the Super VR-4 ext's?

PFL...Do it up!
Good luck with all your plans for the car
Yeah, those. Debating on the rear extensions or not though.
Not tons better than a body kit, but w/e.
Please don't do flat black, no matter what you do, the car will always look like ass.
The USDM 8Gb front bumper with the ITR front lip looks really nice. That's always a nice alternative to the PFL JDM front bumper.
