Just for nostalgia reasons with the first pic with my buddy's car:
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?
PFL front end FTW!

Why not do something different? JDM is nice & all but it's getting kind of boring IMO

Good luck with all your plans for the car
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.
