-- My '92 EG : The Frame-Scraping Journey --

[j-stance]

loving the stance dude!
Should be purchasing an EK facelift soon and dropping the B18C into it.
Decked/BBS RS/Camber = WIN

What are the specs on your wheels.

[C-Hutch]

<3 this. so low. Keep it down

iirc
f 16x9+0
r 16x10+0

i think he managed to fit the 16x10+0 up front and he was working on a surprize for the rear.

Geez.

Thanks! And that should be pretty wild! I look forward to seeing some updates.

Thanks a lot, man. It won't come up for anything!

FIFTEENS!!! Haha, sorry, that's a pet peeve of mine. It's too easy to tuck 16s.

And the specs are actually 15x8" +0 and 15x10" +12. You were almost there!
Yeah, I did do a quick test fit of the rears on the front, but I decided to stick to 8s so I can stay on a 165/45. Otherwise, I couldn't be as low, and I'd have to give up tucking wheel.
I have some camber arms for the front sitting in my room in case I decide to run a -12, but I'm really happy with it at the moment.

I <3 this EG!

[06tiburonofdoom]

Woops, missed these two...

idk if you would like this idea but, you can use hockey pucks as motor mount inserts and lower the holes to raise the engine. it"s what i'm in the process of doing.

Eh, I paid good money for my Hasport mounts. Haha Thanks, though! I'm interested to see how that goes on your build. The dry sump setup and shortened header should give me PLENTY of clearance, though.

pics of where u cut?? (if its not to much trouble) really wanna do this in one shot.. appreciate the help...i know for the most part the suspension on the ek and eg are the same besides control arm length. but would i cut in the same place for both ek and eg?

Dang, I always forget to get pics of that! I'll try to get some soon for you, provided that I remember.

I THINK that the strut towers are a little different looking, but I can't remember at the moment. But technically, yeah, you're cutting in the same place: where the control arms hit. Do yours hit? That makes it easier, if they do. Mine made a dent in the perfect shape of the ball joint end, so it was pretty easy to outline exactly where it needed to go. Haha

I did have a few pictures of the entire process, but I lost them when my laptop got erased.

[06tiburonofdoom]

Since pictures are always fun, this is what my car looks like after not budging for a month. Notice the obscene amount of dirt on the hood and wheels and leaves everywhere... Haha
I also took a couple of super quick clearance shots because I was cold as fuuu and I could barely see my phone's screen because of the sun. But the dime ALMOST fits under the rocker moulding by the jacking point.
And then you can see why I want to do a dry sump setup so badly. Haha

[sixty-nine-dime]

dude... dry sump for sure!!! thats fuckin scary.. but the clearence is great motivation!! now i feel like i need to lower my car more lol

[jared1988]

where are your headers!?!?

[sixty-nine-dime]

looks like they run off the side?

[jared1988]

i dont remember there being a notch in the oil pan but im no honda expert. my buddys car was lowww with a b series and would scape holes in his headers so i would assume that is the vulnerable spot

Haha, scary indeed!
And LOWER IT! You won't be sorry.

You can see it in the pic. I'm back on the factory one now, which is pretty much even with the bottom of the oil pan now. Left side of oil pan, shitty looking pipe that goes down and underneath the pan. Haha (The piping on that thing is BEASTLY!)
Ohhh man, I'll have to post a pic of my aftermarket header.
