[2coupes]

[G-rat]

[mienboiracer209]

[MR. EJ1]

YEH cant wait to see more!!

[Paps]

hot, hot, hot!! Keep up the good work!

[JDM EJ1 95]

so i got to working on some things to get the car ready to be put back together since the body shop is on the finishing touches...

First order of business so far..

i basically went through the body harness and took out everything i didnt need..
(old engine wiring and ECU wiring)

this is waht i took out



and this is what it looks like now.

note the bottom part in the picture is the passenger side and the top is the drivers side.




then i picked up this ST rear sway bar from a buddy.

i think ill be using the ASR rear brace or the beaks kit with the tie bar.. not sure yet.. ill probably end up using the beaks kit just because its gold haha




and these bad boys came in...
looked for a while and couldnt find them but props to www.jdmland.com for having them..


THIIIIIIN!!!!!!!

[Dina]

Nice thanks for the update whats the ETA on the car being back home?

[JDM EJ1 95]

sometime in the next week or so im guessing

[crazyxzer0]

just to let you know, the ASR brace works with the S/T bar!! :TU:

great set of mods!

[JDMej8]

sweet build man :TU:

[W.Zero]

nice build :TU:

[JDM EJ1 95]

Here we go bitches.. a few pics from the other day at the body shop..


dont mind the orange peel on the doors and some other parts.. the car hasnt been fully wet sanded or buffed



My mirror of a car












and






these are parts that are going to be on the car as well... i just have them on my daily right now haha


German cluster 220kph you dont find this shit no where



some BC seats mo fukas


and jdm headlights with city lights(not pictured)

[JdmRevelations]

damn cant wait to see it alll done...

[JDM EJ1 95]

they sent my harnesses and i got them... but they sent latch and link instead of camlock... but i took pics anyways before i send them back.. they look exactly the same but the buckle is different..

[Paps]

baller!! car looks hawt!

[crazyxzer0]

wow. just wow. keeps getting better everytime i see it.

that german cluster....there is one that has 8k redline and 7k redline versions and others with red needles.......

[Dina]

Damn Bitch this is lookin really good! Is the FBP you had sprayed?

[2coupes]

sexy!!! this might be the best coupe evaaarrrrr

[JDM EJ1 95]

its java black pearl.

[boosteddx]

i think its getting better...better all the time.....

[naman]

I like that color, looks a lot like the color of my HX Granada black pearl

[JDM EJ1 95]

the stock color on the car was granada... let me tell you.. its a HUGE difference from granada

[s_18@CH]

I'm sad to say I envy you SOOOOOOO badly :( I would love to build up a K20A in my own Coupe.
Everything looks great, and I feel more and more envy coming my way.

[JDM EJ1 95]

hahah thanks!!!

ill get the car back monday.. like 95% sure...

hopefully i dont find any more flaws in the paint work...

[JDM EJ1 95]

welp... its done... i will pick it up tuesday!!!!

here are some pics of the finished product at the body shop...

they still have to clean it up and wax it but this is basically it...

the haze on the car in some pics is just a spray on detailer that hasnt dried yet we used it to clean off the dust..



HAHHA BITCHES NEW QUARTERS = NO RUST!!!




hahah just taunting you fukers...












one with flash.. you can see the quick detailer and some other **** in the gaps









so basically you get the idea..

[JdmRevelations]

NICE... cant wait for you to get going on it...

[s_18@CH]

Damn man, that is just too nice! Paint seems real smooth :TU:
That reflection picture was very cool!

[Mr.MAN]

[Foos]

I can't believe I've waited this long to respond to this thread. I should be beat down.

Anyway, this is one hell of a build up. Wish I had the money to do some sort of project like this one. I like the choices you've made on the car so far.

Also I love the way the interior pics came out on page 8. The lighting on them is perfect.

[JDM EJ1 95]

everything can be kept...

www.k20a.org has all the answers you need

[ronjdm36]

very nice ricky! i can't wait to see it in person:TU:

[JDM EJ1 95]

heres a quick snap of the other seat in.









and can someone look on their EJ1 and tell me where this plug goes?

its a darker grey than all the other plugs kinda tucked back in behind the fuse box under the dash

[SOHCej1]

that kinda looks like the cruise control plug...not sure though.

[2coupes]

seats look good, good luck on the plug, i don't know

[JDM EJ1 95]

ohh yea i totally forgot about the cruise!!! thanks for reminding me!

[SOHCej1]

[boosteddx]

very nice..good work hope it paid off

[smo_ej2]

this is soooooo hot! :japanflag:
mr. honda would be proud.
when are we gonna see some vid's of it running?

btw. the cluster you have is stock EDM in LS/ES/VT civics. (example d15b2/7 d16z6 b16a2)
so it's pretty easy to find anywhere in Europe :)

more edit, the rims reminds me of BMW, but they really fit your coupe perfectly!

when you have it finished, this could go directly to ROTM imo.
no voting needed.

[2coupes]

not flawless.. dont get your hopes up
you're too humble, this car stole the show at suja 1, and sounded MEAN with open header, there's a vid of it launching but I'll let Ricky post it

[Mr.MAN]
