Eg Coupe Build... Yes another one...

[protocaster]

At least if it hits something it wont rip my bumper off... Which at this point would rip the whole front end of my car off because the stupid core support is destroyed.

foam lip ftw breh

[protocaster]

Its temporary... It actually looks decent imo... at least it not just a piece of foam down there... lol

[MommysLittleMonster]

Just say no to Home Depot lips.

I have a camera I just didn't know where it was yesterday... My wife had it in her pocketbook.

I'm hoping to get my camber kit soon so I can go down in the back.... That's the only thing holding me up and I despise rake.

I really need to get my front end fixed... On top of needing the core support, hood, windshield, fenders, headlights, and corners... I need some steering parts and wheel bearings because I have a little play...

So much to do and not enough time or money to do it all... lol

Thanks for the love Scweet14

[scweet14]

need a camera ha, but not bad man. ill definitely be sub'd!

[protocaster]

Not much of an update but I added a small piece of bandsaw safe edge to the bottom of my lip to make it look a little lower... Got my corner markers ghettoed in until I can get new ones. I'm also tryin' out a home depot lip on the back bumper to see how I like it. I will take some new pictures tomorrow, it got dark on me tonight.

No the rails don't have the same bolt pattern.

Sorry again for the phone pics but IDK what my wife did with the camera again. lol
Anyway...

Home Depot lip with a twist... I bought the stuff from Lowes.




Also ran my sleeves all the way down in the front and 5 mill down in the rear and rolled the rear a little more. I need adjustable arms so I can camber the back so it will tuck. It sits the sidewall of the tire on the place where the inner fender just starts to curve and I'm pretty sure there's no way to move that.

Edit: Just noticed how bad my phone pics are in low light... I apologize lol

RSX seats (already have, just need to make brackets)

cant you just bolt the eg seat rails to the rsx seats?

How are you going to get well over 200hp on a D series just from good gaskets, arp bolts, and a tune? It won't even come close to 200hp on a D15b. A d15b vtec has 128hp to the crank new from factory. Just getting a b18b to 200hp, which has more power than d15b is a lot of work. Only thing is turbo the D series for easy over 200hp. Getting 100+ hp all motor isn't easy or cheap for a Honda.

Boost sir... Is the plan

[WhiteNeko]

I'm not going B series on the motor because the stuff around here is twice the price of D series stuff. I don't have to buy new mounts, I don't have to change computers, and with new arp bolts, good gaskets, and a good tune I can make well over 200hp which is plenty for stretched tires. I don't plan on racing it. So its more than enough for me.

Okay so I did some more body work this afternoon... There was some body fill around the drivers side rear arch so I went ahead and got that off because it busted when we rolled it. Like I said I plan on having them rolled properly...

On with the pictures I supposed... Oh I went down some in the back by the way...


Dent on the passenger pillar





Getting the flaking paint and body filler off the arches...





Then I found a few other spots I wanted to fix...

The busted body filler next to the arch


Chip out of the filler next to the drivers door


Dent in the passenger pillar



Dent on the back corner




I got that far and figured...


Why not patina the car until I get done with the body work... I ran out of sand paper though so I only got the back drivers quarter done. Going to get more sand paper tomorrow.

Also got the front fenders bolted on a little straighter... They don't look so over flared now.


Another side project soon is going to be fixing the curbage on my wheels and polishing/painting them.

Edit: Side note... I just looked through the pictures and remembered how much I **** the ricey ass red paint on my door panels... That's going to be changing soon too.

[protocaster]

They're 4x100 and 5x100. I saw on the work site they had 1 polished cap left and it was 90 bucks. That's the only DH cap that had.

I would really like to trade them for something smaller. I may get some kind of small lip kit, but it will be after I get the front end straight.

As soon as I can get adjustable arms, struts, and top hats I'll be able to get it down another 2 or 3 inches in the back. The front fenders were already dented all up so I just pulled the crap out of them... When I get some new front fenders I'll add some camber in the front and roll it properly.

[244Brick]

caps aren't cheap but ebay has them (150+-). I think you should get caps on them and drop it with a VIP kit to pull it off. Stock body won't work with 18s on this... I'm glad they're real tho (too bad they're 4 lug cause i'd buy them from you

[protocaster]

That's what I said! lol I hadn't even looked at them because I didn't figure someone would give away Works. I do need to find caps for them tho.
