It's like all of the worst trends 2012 Honda kids could come up with, rolled into one car. the Eg looked clean when you first bought it... However, I do like the way the car sits. Fitment is great, but I would just work out a plan when you build, instead of throwing whatever you find deals on onto the car. But then again, it isn't my car. Do what you please.

Yayayayay can't keep still
Since it was spring break I had a lot of free time to mess around with things without school and work weighing me down. Finally got these in the mail

so here's a nice Before and After picture!
Before: on the eg hatch

and an after:

It was a pain in the ass because one control arm may have been slightly bent. Idk it just didn't wanna line up but with sheer determination i got it done
On the ground

My twin was adventuring around a junkyard and got me a present. Said he pulled 2 from two different old Mercedes but i got the uglier one... But here it is

Looked bad and had gaps because it didn't line up correctly... so with the help of a few screws we got here

Looks pretty nice, gotta do some cutting to fit my big wooden shift knob in there.
oh wells next next next
messed with the crx. couldn't find the leak too much shit in the way. tore out the breather chamber and pcv valve

Now look at that view. so nice with nothing in the way

leak was coming from the intake manifold. it was new but somehow didn't hold a seal. so i got a new one

slapped it in and no leaks!
started to bleeed the coolant system of air. lots of bubbles
need to do more bleeding in the future. couldn't find a fancy funnel but more bubbles

oh yeah it's not completely perfect but its running. need to find the other vacuum leaks. but the crx is kinda alive at the moment

I also wanted to widen the stance on my eg hatch. The 15x10s in the back are great but now i want 15x10s in the front tooo! so i found a girl who'll be trading me these this up coming Thursday. Hopefully she doesn't bluff me

When i do get them I really wanna match my two blacks ones to these. I love this look

But to end things here are some newer pics of alice i took when she went for a nice long drive





So thats what i've accomplished so far. Need to get a rolling shot and continue working on the crx!

Wow, really impressed with the sideskirts. Diamonds are definitely my favorite wheels so far as well!

The diamonds are the best look so far on your car. Loving it man keep up the progress. Making me have a soft spot for eg hatches now!! Also respect for not allowing others to effect your build. Good to see you having fun with your car.

Guys are like girls
"Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhh you have cheap wheels". "Waaaaaaaaaaaah i dont like the woodgrain". "WAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH this isn't a restoration". "Wahhhhhhhahhhhhhhhh you're ruining your cars". Waaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh this build is a cluster fuck"
Some of you guys are annoying. I like to keep myself busy so i have multiple projects and I enjoy my car so I'ma keep proceeding and doing whatever I want.
Anywho I started messing with this turd

Tore it apart

put it back together. couldn't pin point the leak

Then it wouldn't start. trouble shooted and found the starter randomly died
pic of me testing it

got a new one for $70 pus a $10 core

Crx starts but it was raining today so i decided to post pics. ill rake a crack at it again tomorrow morning. Either i fix it soon or i gotta get rid of it. So lets hope i fix it.
Pic of my girl alice because i love driving it so much


I'll be at H2O this year

I think what a lot of people are forgetting is this man is not building any show cars. These builds are influencing stance culture into a few vehicles. I admit its clustered, and not the best quality of work but I think this build is brilliant and very interesting to read. I think your doing a great job and keeping me well entertained, not a disappointment at all! There are several types of builds and this may be a lower budget build but its not shit. Many people providing negative feedback have builds that don't particularly make me happy either ,but I believe some people are trying to troll and flame for no particular reason. So lets just keep this civil and try not to provide negative comments because its aware this man doesn't care and will continue building his vehicles no matter what others have to say. Especially the man who built the Monte Carlo, HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! Wasn't even low at all and just a waste of time to read through. Looked the same on page on as it did at the last page. I commend this guy on his wheel collection, deeming none of them as shit wheels. I personally would love to have 4 sets of rims rather than I expensive set that's just bound to get damaged etc. Good Job man, keep this build coming.

I do understand both worlds that react on this thread.
To some it may look like you are cutting corners (which you can't deny; you do sometimes
) and to some it may just be awesome to see what you can accomplish with limited resources.
I mean, hell! We can't all afford Wide-bodied Porsches with +$5k HRE wheels
Nevertheless I think you could have done a better job with your cars. I know they were all dirt-cheap. But to me you could be turning shitty, neglected <1000,- vehicles into something neat, clean (I mean literally clean) and giving it a second life.
You must understand that cracked and rotted wheel arches, cheap and misfitted vinyl wraps, and especially immitation-brand wheels do not get much appreciation on this forum

MD got snow snow and more snow
Maryland for the past 2 weeks has just been bombarded with snow so it makes it hard for me to make progress. Any ways i liked how the side skirts on the hatch went so i decided to make another set for the sedan
So i went to home depo

bought 2 for $4.98 a piece

Trimmed and bolted them up


now the sedan looks a bit better

Also got a package in the mail :3

From blackworks? Oh what could it possibly be

Yaaaayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayayay! got my lower tie bar! just missing the extended studs in order to bolt everything into the hatch! thats all for now

You got a cargo cover for 30 dollars? Damn EG cargo covers are cheap. Ive been looking for one for my EK and they're all around 100 or more dollars.
Also what are those thing you put on your sideskirts?
