[JdmRevelations]

[G-rat]

have'nt gotten it fixed yet.......i know this guy that is gonna fix the 1/4 for $150...he is gonna do it primer so i think im gonna get the whole car re-sprayed blue cause there are a few parts that are chippid and stuff....im just waitin on this guy to finish another car he is doin right now...then get it fixed.....

but i got a few other things done that i have'nt takin pics of yet......will get on it tomarrow

[Partizan]

Are those ep3 rims?

[Moe2005]

Very clean coupe, it looks like it has come a long way. Keep the good work up.

[G-rat]

Are those ep3 rims?

haha no they are konig octanes......but now that u mention it they kinda do look like ep3 rims.....not sure why i never noticed that before

[G-rat]

alright...here is a little up date on my ride

got some 97 integra black gsr cloths seats


picked up a vis cf hood for my friend for next to nothing.....its a bit messed up on the left side...but i might try to get it fixed a little to make it look better and then cover it with a sticker or something....not sure yet...i might just take it off and buy a new one thats not messed up....just wanted to see what a cf hood would look like on my car.....here is a pic of it...dont mind the messed up part...mel might recognize the hood;)


and here is a pic of the car and how it looks stands



still a few things worng with it.....need a new front bumper and the 1/4 panel needs to be fixed still....

oh and i also got nitto neo gen 205/50's on the front.....grip way better than the cooper zpt's i had on there....plus i got fogs for free also:D

[2coupes]

lookin good, there's a guy in socal from jdmc that can fix that hood for you

[G-rat]

thanks for the heads up...just trying to get some ideas of what i should do with it...thanks

[red4]

^^ maybe just sand the hood down and paint it? then you have a nice light stock looking hood. :TU: i like the CF on there though. goes with your black and blue theme. car is looking good man. seems like i haven't seen pics in a while. keep us posted as you get her fixed back up into tip top shape. ;)

[G-rat]

well i picked op a few things for the ej1 this past week....

headman chickara header





its a bit on the rusted side.....im gonna sand it down and use 1200 degree engine enamel black paint on it....now i can finnaly get rid of my cheep $60 ebay header

also picked up some motor mount inserts and installed them already



did'nt get to to the rear tranny mount cause its a bitch to get to with skunk 2 intake mani in the way....just got the 2 lower one in for now until i do my clutch swap....then i will put the rear one in. a bit of more chatter in the cabin now...but for some reason the whole car seems more stable....seems better around turns also...think this could be cause my two lower mounts were toast....so it stiffen it up a bit...and plus it also fixed the problem of the skunk 2 intake mani hitting the fire wall when i would step on it.....so thats a plus as well:TU: :D

[2coupes]

that header is officially old school

[G-rat]

looks much better now...already put it on also..smelt bad for like 10 minutes and then it went away

[Foos]

Looks like a whole new header.

[G-rat]

Looks like a whole new header.

yup that was what i was goin for...looks good under the hood as well

[G-rat]

well picked up a new clutch a few days ago


i needed a new clutch since the day i bought the car but just kept holding it off and buying other things....not it slips really really bad so i said it was about time to replace it.....just saving for a fly wheel now and then i will be all set to put it in......wedsday night drags here i come:D

[Thateguhate]

nice shit man.. Loving the front end of that thing.. nice and clean.

[Mr.MAN]

im likin the exedy clutch:rockon:

[Volume 8]

im likin the exedy clutch:rockon:

me too, i put one in my girl's car and it's great, and i'm planning on gettin' one for my car. that header looks nice, any pics of it installed?

[G-rat]

me too, i put one in my girl's car and it's great, and i'm planning on gettin' one for my car. that header looks nice, any pics of it installed?

ya i cant wait to get the new clutch on with a lighter fly wheel also.....got the header on and it looks good under the hood....some of the paint started to chip off already...but i just sprayed the part where it did when the motor was cold.....im kinda in the process of painting my engine bay flat black....cause it was still purple after i got the car painted....i will post pics once im done

[Mr.MAN]

sweeezizle:honda:

[mienboiracer209]

nice...car def looks hawt with the cf hood, headers look pratically brand new...

you mentioned weds night drag, what drag strip are you talking about?..

[G-rat]

i live in northern cali so the strip im talking about it infenion raceway aka. sears point

[G-rat]

picked up a new z6 bottom end from a freind today.....just gonna build it over time slowly. the great thing is i just spent an hour cleaning out the trunk...the guy i got it off of did'nt drain the oil outta it so it tilted over when i was driving and spilt oil everywhere.....no good at all

[NtAcivG94]

aww man thats harsh... u gunna build it for boooost?

[2coupes]

errrybody goin' boost now

[Mr.MAN]

not I, NA is best toots:TU: :honda: :TU:

[s_18@CH]

Hmm, I must have overlooked the CF hood on there. Looks really good.
You should keep it looking CF in my eyes.
As red4 said, it goes well with your black and blue theme.

And yes, NA rocks :TU: (allthough boost is probably even better...? :))

[G-rat]

ya i think i will boost the motor i got in the car now seeing as how i am half way there with a kit already....im gonna build this block i got now and drop that in after i smog my car next march

[G-rat]

well decide to by something new for my car......


guess what it is and get some rep

[Dina]

spoon crank pulley

[Volume 8]

oil filler cap?

[CamoEj1]

i could never rock a blue whip (B's up!) but you make it look good homie

[G-rat]

nope not those 2 guesses...take another guess

[Volume 8]

any hints? i'm trying to think of what would go in a box that size. please don't tell me it's a duracon shift knob.

[2coupes]

my guess it a black spoon duracon shift knob...i like these box contests!

[G-rat]

ding ding ding...its a black duracon shift knob....i'll give rep to both of u since honDA9racer kinda guessed it but 2coupes guessed it the proper way


whats wrong with a duracon? if i might ask

[G-rat]

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to 2coupes again.

damn.......now i gotta spread it to everyone

[Volume 8]

nothing wrong, i just want one.haha.

[2coupes]

dang I'm good! haha i've always wanted a spoon knob, imo it's the best knob out there as far as weighted throws and shape

[G-rat]

nothing wrong, i just want one.haha.

oh...hahaha....

like it alot better than the mugen one i use to have. plus u can make it sit right with the alen key that is on it...i always had to fight with the mugen one to git it to be just right

forgot to post a pic of the block i got this weekend



i have'nt reallly decide if i should build it for boost or n/a

[NtAcivG94]

build up up to handle 300+whp of booooost!

[G-rat]

hmmmmmm 300+ hp would be nice...thats probably the route i will end up going

[s_18@CH]

:TU: for the shift knob! :) I'm about to order one of those myself, together with the Skunk2 dual bend short-shifter :)
That block looks lite it's been out for a while :ohsnap:

[2coupes]

can I ask where/how much you got the knob for?

[G-rat]

got from modacar...they are located in livermore which is about an hour from here..i was neaby and decided to take a swing buy there and saw they had them in stock...got it for $55....but they charge a little more for shipping

[2coupes]

cool, i might get one in the future

[crazyxzer0]

I dont like the spoon shift knob... lol It's too light after using the 1lb skunk2 shift knob. :P

[s_18@CH]

I dont like the spoon shift knob... lol It's too light after using the 1lb skunk2 shift knob. :P
Is it really too light? I have a light Momo knob now, and DC Sports short-shifter...
I would think that the Spoon knob and the Skunk2 shifter would atleast be an improvement? :)

[G-rat]

it is pretty light.....but i like the feel of it....i've never had a wieghted knob though before so i cant really compare

[G-rat]

well i have been trying to find a oem lip around here for cheep...my freind has one but its kinda messed up...here is a old a pic i found when i use to have a oem lip on...dont mind the headlights..rice stage



and here is a current pic with the mugen style lip....

[Mr.MAN]

[crazyxzer0]

Anyways, is your licnese plate cut?!

[G-rat]

[red4]

[JdmRevelations]

bargain for the lip...

[G-rat]

he said $100 for the lip and mirrors or $60 for just the mirrors....might be able to barrow the money from someone....i hate haveing to wait tell pay day

[JdmRevelations]

i'd do it shiet 40 bucks is easy to pay back

[2coupes]

i hate waiting for payday too, i get paid once a month :mad:

[red4]

$40 is a steal for that OEM lip. get it any way you can! lol. you could hook me up with that bracket and rear mount and have part of the cash for the lip.... :D

also, i only paid $45 shipped for my spoon style mirrors on eBay...might want to check there.

[koolMikeSki]

Cars coming along very nicely cant wait to see it with the OEM lip. :TU:

[G-rat]

really...hmm that makes me a little sceptacle now..hmm..maby just the lip then

[G-rat]

well i just found out that my sun roof does'nt work....it makes noise but it does'nt go anywhere....think it might be the motor for it or something....i have'nt used it in over a year if u can believe that....plus my cruise control never worked when i bought the car....so im think i might re-locate my dimmer switch for the inside lights and buy a jdm coin pocket...thinkin about it...not really sure yet

[2coupes]

yeah, if it doesn't work, go for the coin pocket, Bill has one in his coupe

[JdmRevelations]

hope you can get the roof working...... and did ya get the lip..

[G-rat]

im goin to get the lip and mirrors tomarrow....come home..install parts..wash and take pics

[JdmRevelations]

nice glad you decided to do both..

[Mr.MAN]

sweet cant wait to see it, its gonna look soooo clean with the oem lip.:TU: :honda: :TU: and remember if ya dont want ur old lip im pretty interested.:TU:

[G-rat]

well some bad new...i called the guy and he already sold the mirrors and the lip to someone else this morning...:hoppingmad: ..so if anyone has an extra oem lip i will take it off your hands for ya

[Speedy]

yeah, if it doesn't work, go for the coin pocket, Bill has one in his coupe

Very useful to put your phone in and PM bill about an oem lip

[JdmRevelations]

[G-rat]

[jdm_ej2]

Damn you payed 10 bucks for the badges. I payed 16.99 from Password JDM. My koleshiya badge got messed up from the heat of the sun so I ordered a new pair of soshinoya badges.

[G-rat]

[mienboiracer209]

Can you give me the exact location of that honda junkyard in american canyon? Im thinkin about visiting it this weekend or sumtin.

What kind of muffler is that on your car? Looks stockish, yet im pretty sure it isn't. How are you likin your stech and tokico combo? Where'd you get it off?:rockon:

did'nt realize the inbox was full....i'll erase some messages right now

the location of california auto dismantling is 1578 green island road off of highway 29

the muffler is a magna flow oval style.....it looks stock which is what i was goin for but it sounds very very nice......and the suspension is awasome....makes my tires rub a little cause the spring rate is softer than my old ones....but im gettin a camber kit here soon cause i need a little more negative camber

[G-rat]

damn garret if u were more local i would love to have you come out touge with us...its a private closed road too...so all night runs. you know u race touge cuz ur car aint always gonna stay perfect :TU:

private closed road.....freakin sick...wish i had that around here...the main road we touge connects 2 towns to each other so alot people drive it......maby when we get the formula d meet goin we can hit up a little touge while we are down there

[boosteddx]

hahah man u do know after every formula d event or n e drifting event that its not the best night to head out..becuase everyone and their mommas are. btw did u get the paint for the front yet? and how much u pay for the aftermarkey replacement bumper...im in dyer need of one but i cant get a good hookup and a good fitting one

[G-rat]

ya u got a good point there about the moutain and formula d

the bumper was about $125 shipped i believe....here is a link to where i got it from....fittment was hard at first....but i left it on there for about 3 weeks and it has been nice and hot this past week so i think it molded right....i took it off yesterday and it went back on with ease

[G-rat]

oh and i almost forgot.....got my yellow fogs and my side markers installed today.....will post pics tomarrow after i give shiela a wash

[Mr.MAN]

cant wait to see those, what wheels are u buildin up towardsZ?

[G-rat]

cant wait to see those, what wheels are u buildin up towardsZ?

i am having a hard time decide.....i want the jspl's..but i am kinda sick of black rims...but then i have always wanted bronze gt3's but alot of people have them....hmmm decsions decsions

[Mr.MAN]

i say some c8s would look good or som c10s, and im not jsust sayin that cuz i gotem

[red4]

i say stay away from the GT3s, just because they are on a LOT of cars out there now. what about hitting up RBmotoring or some place like that? i say just take your time and do a lot of research to find a wheel you truly like. took me forever to finally settle on the wheels i have, but i am extremely happy with them now and not many people are rocking them. :TU:

keep us updated man. i want to see the new yellow fogs and sidemarkers! :rockon:

[boosteddx]

oh awesome thanks for including what paint to use...lamenex yellow paint? if so im gonna try it out and save some money on the whites

[G-rat]

oh no no no...i lamin-x film...its like a sticker type of thing that goes over the lens....here is a link to it

http://lamin-x.com/ecommerce/os/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=36_292&products_id=563&osCsid=afebeabe965036cf3420bcdd8e0b0801

its for teh fog lights off a 99-00 si but they u can just cut them to fit

i tried using paint before the film and it came out kinda greanish so i took it off and used the flim instead

[G-rat]

for got to add...if u are gonna use paint then use krylon stained glass paint...it is a transparent paint for glass and they make it in all colors....u can find it at your local crafts store....they where outta yellow when i went to paint mine so i got some different brand paint from a hobby store....thats the one that turned out kinda greenesh

[2coupes]

hook it up garrett!!


I need some parts too.. :TU:

[s_18@CH]

Been a while since I was in here now... I think it's at the perfect hight.
Low, but not more than it's perfectly driveable. Fogs look really good too!
A little paint on the front and it's golden. I love the look of your car :) Color is B E A utiful :TU:

[G-rat]

^^ thank u sir

well looks like i got the cluster to work....i also picked up a jdm climate control...installed them both today...did'nt get any pics though so i will have to take pics tamarrow

[G-rat]

hook it up garrett!!


I need some parts too.. :TU:


what do u need son?

[G-rat]

oh and i almost forgot to ask.....runnin a cluster in kilometers is gonna take sometime to get use to on the moutain......was'nt really sure how fast i was goin when i did a run last night

[red4]

i've seen some people make a basic conversion table like:

10 mph = x kph
25 mph = x kph
35 mph = x kph
60 mph = 100 kph
70 mph = x kph

etc. and then throw it up near the gauge cluster so you can get used to memorizing what speeds are what. that's what i think i would do until i could remember everything.

have you posted pictures of the cluster yet?

[Mr.MAN]

make flassh caards lol,seriously id bet itd help

[G-rat]

i need to get some pics tonight of it....so i should be able to post up pics tomarrow

[G-rat]

pics of vti gauge cluster and jdm climate control...sorry they are'nt very good pics




cant seem to get good pics of the cluster lit up....they cluster is'nt very bright to begin with....i think i might buy some new bulbs for it and see if that helps with the lighting situation so i can get some better pics......oh and i forgot to take a day pic of the climate control...woops

[JdmRevelations]

the cluster wont get that much brighter...

[G-rat]

the cluster wont get that much brighter...

thats what i thought...well i guess i need a better camera or something to take better pics

[Mr.MAN]

awesome man i would get a k cluster cept my dad could never figure it out cuz hes always on the phone in the car and since he drives me around in it lol

[crazyxzer0]

[Axel_s]

Hey, let me know how you mounted the c-pillar bar?

[G-rat]

just took out the seat belt bolts.....left everything out like all the washers and spacers and such....cause there are alot of those that hold the seat belt on...left them out so that the bar can be against bare metal so its stiffer...pretty easy and strieght forward to do

[Axel_s]

Damn, i thought the seatbelt setup was like in my ej6. That explains it. ;)

I want a pillar bar in mine too, but there is no seatbelt mounts to use on the c-pillar.

Sorry about that. ;)

[s_18@CH]

Damn you and all your jdm goodies ;) The DC2 steering wheel will look great :TU: I just know it :)

[G-rat]

well i have to order a wiring harness from password for the city lights so the jdm headlights are gonna have to wait to be put on for a little while.....but in the mean time i put my jdm fog switch, jdm stanley corners and my dc2 steering wheel on....here are a few pics..

jdm switchs :)



camera died on me when i went to take the pics so i only got 2.....im just waiting for it to charge and then im gonna take more of the sterring wheel...i will take a night shot of my interior tonight so u can see the switchs in amber.....and then once i get the headlighs all done im gonna do a little photo shoot

[2coupes]

just a heads up, if your headlights and corners came without the city light sockets but had the corner sockets, you can use the corner socket for the city light wiring, and reuse the stock corner light socket for the new jdm corner

[boosteddx]

nice garret love the wheel..a lil to pricey for me right now =)..review the wheel bud!!!

[G-rat]

the jdm corner socket is way to big though for where the city lights go.....the headdlights came with the sockets....just not the wiring harness that plugs into the back of them

[G-rat]

nice garret love the wheel..a lil to pricey for me right now =)..review the wheel bud!!!

thanks man.....i went on the touge last night with it and it feels a hell of a lot better than the stock wheel...good feel to it and way better grip also:TU:

[2coupes]

well, i meant the wiring plug

[red4]

thanks man.....i went on the touge last night with it and it feels a hell of a lot better than the stock wheel...good feel to it and way better grip also:TU:

[boosteddx]

what is power steering? civics came with powersteering? jp with the size of our cars i dont even think we need power steering at all. i want a new wheel now =*(

[hondaholic]

dead steering is the best;) . Both my coupes didnt have p/s stock

[red4]

with the size of our cars i dont even think we need power steering at all.

you're right. i've driven a couple other 6th gens with no power steering and didn't mind at all. i think they just put it in for all of the grandmas that end up buying civic hatches, lol.

[G-rat]

well i got a new set of gloss blackrota slipstreems today.....not a very uncommon rim i know....but i got them for $150....and my rims i have now are bent so i could'nt pass up the deal...but im gonna hold off on puttin them on cause i wanna get some other tires for them...i could just put the ones i have on my old rims on the slips.....but i wanna have 2 sets of rims to switch between

i'll post pics later today....and i ordered the city light wiring harness so it should be here next week....so expect some pics with the jdm corners and headlights here within the next week

[boosteddx]

sweet deal///cant wait to see pics. im gonna be goin thru the headlights and corners soon...someone tried to flat head my corner lights off and broke my passenger side tabs

[G-rat]

well a buddy of mine ended up haveing extra plugs and wiring harnesses for the city lights.....just got done puttin them on...so expect some pics with the jdm head lights and jdm corners tonight:D

[G-rat]

well here is a pic of one of the new rims i got for a great deal



the owner put a red pin stripe lip on them...looks kinda cool but i dont think it would go good with my color car....so i think i might just take it off.....but i wanted to ask if anyone could photoshop the red pin stripe lip in blue....just to see how it would look

[JdmRevelations]

damn the wheels look SIK!... they would look better on my whip! and on PS... ima stay out of it...
