  • NordicMistBB6's Build Thread

    So i've owned my prelude for about 2 years now and I thought it was time to start a build thread, from when i bought the car to now, and just keep updating it....

    This was when I first got it home august 2010 and Had the tints redone because the old ones were peeling and were a bluish color 0.o



    Bought some rims for it (big mistake).... I liked them at the time but now i dont like 'em any more....



    Just another random picture I took before I installed my JDM Fogs



    I bought the SiR S-Spec Interior (correct me if im wrong) and put that in, Love the way it looks in the car







    Bought replica JDM Fogs, an OEM style CF Hood and put on my freshly painted OEM Front Lip



    Tinted the Tails and installed the OEM Rear Lip



    And Finally, RSX-S Rims!



    I then bought Skunk2 Lowering springs which was a 2in drop in the front and a 1.8in drop in the back and just install them on my stock shocks...









    I then had the rear quarter rust repaired







    at the end of 2011 it was time to start my 5spd swap, the trans was slipping and i needed to get it done anyway. in the process, P/S, A/C, and C/C were also deleted and the battery was moved to the trunk. I pulled the motor to also clean the bay in the process







    I also picked up a RSX steering wheel and a DC5R single stage airbag to replace my old tattered stock one.



    The car wasnt really modded after this for a while, just enjoyed driving it. but i wanted to get into the stance scene a little, so i picked up a set of BBS RYII's 17x8 et45 and 17x9 et45 and a set of Function&Form Type1 coilovers and did the oem top hat mod to the fronts. latest pictures of how it sits now









    And now for the present...

    So here is just a list of what i plan to have accomplished by April '13

    Replace wheel bearings
    25mm Spacers for the Rear and 15mm spacers for the Front
    Get my fitment perfect with moar low
    Re-Register the car in FL
    Convert OBD1
    Aquire demon board with NepTune RTP
    Get Tuned
    Delete EGR
    Delete EVAP
    Convert to Non-ABS
    Get my Header Mounted

    I wanna thank christmas and tax returns for funding my over winter build Im actually really excited to see this portion of my build completed any advice on any of the things you see feel free to comment! Luckily im getting a garage space to do all these things.

    Updates will continue to come, Thanks for looking!

    I know you said it, but spacers and a bit lower. Big change from the beginning though!

        So the RYII's came with rivets/huck bolts and im going to be replacing them with RSII bolts. I also plan to get the faces painted, any opinions on what color faces and what color bolts i should get?

          Looks good so far! For colour of the wheels I'd say probably gold. Looks good with silver and it isn't crazy flashy lol


          Instead of spacers I'd recommend maybe getting new lips made or maybe getting the wheels widened, just gives it a little better look with more dish.

          Looking forward to what you do with it!

            I do agree with the gold, that was one of my thoughts, black bolts with gold faces...

            Sadly RYII's are 2 piece so i dont think i can do anything with the lips, the only thing that comes off are the faces (im new to nice wheels, maybe im wrong) they are already 9in wide in the back so i think widening it wouldnt really push the wheel out of the well would it?

            But thanks man! she's come a looooong way. Cant wait for whats to come this winter!

              Looks real clean now. Super glad you went back to a silver hood. If you don't mind me asking, how much was the quarter repair and repaint? Mine's worse but it'd be nice to get a ballpark price. Keep up the good work, sir!

                Thanks man! I am glad you like the silver hood, i like it more too. Lol. And i paid 250 and supplied the qp's for him off a parts car. He did a really shitty job though. -__- and there will be lots of updates this winter!

                    Thanks man. The biggest stuff is yet to come! Im thinking on +25mm spacers all around and getting my fenders rolled. Then adjusting the height

                        Car is sold. Mods can delete this and I'll start a new build for the new car
