My Slow EG Sedan Build

[Loaf31]

So, I have some parts coming soon. But in the meantime, I painted the steelies gray to match the overall vibe of the car. here are some pics





they are a semi-gloss granite. This is how they looked while freshly painted



and then they dried, leaving the Satin finish behind
*NOTE* what looks like a giant run in the paint is actually just a manufacturing defect.





and this is the overall product!





Overall, I'm super happy with how they came out. The cans of paint costed $3 each and the sandpaper costed $2, so really it only cost me $8 and a couple hours to get this result.
I also used a spray can grip from ace hardware that I got for $6, and I really think it helped with the overall result on the paint job.

I'll get some better pictures in the morning or in the next few days because it's currently pouring outside. Keep your eyes on this thread because I'll have a lot more coming soon!
Thanks guys

Things happened

I was scrolling through facebook car groups when I came across these beauties.
These are sideskirt splitters from Top1 Motors. I didn't even know these existed until 2 days ago lol. These retail at $160 new and my pair came with a set of oem sideskirts from a coupe for $100.
I don't have any pictures of the install because it was super frustrating and then I found out I was doing it all wrong lol.

p.s. I thought these pictures turned out nicely and they didn't, so be warned lol











I'll get better pictures later on.

So that's all I have for now, but stay tuned because more updates are definitely coming.

Forgot to mention all of this too.

Here are the test fit pictures for those 15x9 xxr's





Taco Bell gift card for scale



Since the motor lift kit raised the engine upwards 1", it also raised the angle of the drive axles. But that caused a problem.



the drive axles were rubbing the frame, so it needed to be notched.

My dad lending a hand



making the first cuts



first slices



so we ended up with this:

Driver side



Passenger side



they're not the best notches in the world, but they will do.

I ended up trading those Black XXR's to my buddy for these gold mesh wheels.
here's a pic of them on his miata.



they're 15x7 with +35 offset wrapped in 195/45/15. They look good and hopefully I can get some cash for them or throw them on the hatch.

The Sparco steering wheel that I bought yesterday has already sold on eBay for $85, so thats dope.

That's all I have for now guys, but be sure to keep an eye on this thread!

Hey guys, been a second since I updated this. After my car got fixed, you all know that I picked up these XXR's for $180.





Shortly after that, I picked up these other XXR 002's for $200. They're 15x9 with a 0 offset. They looked great and had a ton of lip.









They needed some work but looked pretty great. However, I sold them to a buddy for $260, so thats a nice profit. Sad to see them go but the money was too good to pass up.

Next, I found this legit sparco leather P310 steering wheel for $40, even came with a momo DA integra hub. Both are currently listed on eBay. Hit me up for the link if you're interested.











So hopefully I'll be able to turn a nice profit from these. I might have some other stuff coming, so keep an eye on this thread! As always, you can follow me on Instagram @Stance_God

Ok I'll start off this update with these XXR's that I picked up with decent 195/50/15 tires for $180. Slapped them on the EF hatch and ordered a camber kit for it.



and I finally got around to snapping some pictures of the motor lift kit. It's worked wonders and I haven't scraped up front since I installed it!





trans mount



now I also lowered the front down about a half inch or so. Once I order my drop forks, it'll go even lower.

Clearance from ground to lip



and here's the oilpan to ground clearance. I don't have a pic of before though.





and then I'll leave you guys with these last pics





Thanks for looking guys, I hope to have some more updates coming soon! stay tuned

I wish parts were as cheap for my rocco lol. can't wait to see this thing with the engine lift installed!

It's already in! All set up, no more exhaust scraped! Just frame bangin'

What's up guys,
So I picked up a little somethin' somethin' the other day

Got this engine lift kit from EliJoe_Low on Instagram for $85 shipped. I went to S&S Exhaust and had them weld it in for $40. It's supposed to lift the engine 1" closer to the hood as well as improve the steering rack and driveshaft angles, and the results are great! Here are some pics:

Here's the kit. It comes with two new bolts for the side motor mounts as well as spacers for the rear mount. The two torque mounts on trans and power steering pully bracket need to be removed for this kit to work.



this is what the new mounts look like all welded up. Not the prettiest, but they'll do just fine. You can see how the new bolt hole is around an inch higher than the old one.







This is the rear motor mount and it has 3 bolts which attach it to the subframe. The spacers pictured above will keep it from binding when the other two mounts are raised.



Along with the spacers, I had to run out and get these new bolts which are twice as long as the stock ones so that I can still have a good amount of thread going into the subframe.







It started getting dark at this point and I got more into the work, so I forgot to take pictures Rest assured that the kit did the job well and I no longer scrape exhaust!
But I'm still scraping the front sway bar sometimes so that's coming off next

A couple weeks ago I picked up this rear disc brake conversion from an integra for a whopping $20 I just need to find some e-brake cables from a teg so I can swap them in.

Next items on the list are:
1) drop forks (for more strut travel + more low)
2) rear fog light
3) alignment
4) camber???
5) idk lol

im with rice4life... get this thing sprayed

I'll try to see if I can fit it in the budget, but that sounds like a lot of body work and I'm lazy lol.
Eventually, I'd like to make it have more of a rat-rod type feel.
