CHiLD's EG *BUILD UP THREAD*

[CHILD]

hey some updates i thought of for you...(to help me) pics of how you tucked your fuel rail..up close.. as well as your head lights!

EDIT: not really updates but it'd be nice to see those!! btw tuck is still lookin fresh!!

I think the fuel rail is the 2nd easiest thing to tuck next to the brake booster vacuum line.

brake upgrades?

5 lug ftw...

i thought about it, so i could run ITR brakes, but i'd have to do it when i also have the cash for real deal wheels. The brake upgrade idea came from me wanting to knock out some things prior to boost. These dx brakes are struggling to slow down my motor as it is.

just rock some accord steelies with the 5 lugs lulz

lookin good child. are your rear brakes drum or disc? hmotorsonline has an eg6 disc conversion if they are drums. you thought about gettin some foglights for that and maybe some smoked 50/50 tails?

drums in the back. I know i should upgrade to discs but i dont want to. Ill end up getting larger drums like a modded accord in my area. I like the look. I'll upgrade the fronts to b16 calipers and brembo blanks. No plan for fogs because i want to boost this motor, i'll wait until after i see how my intercooler piping fits. taillights are going to stay OEM


on another note, one more payment on my motor and then i can dump more money into the car

 

[OTiS133]

hmotorsonline lets you finance there motors??

hmotorsonline lets you finance there motors??

no, but thats how i had to pay for it. I didnt have all the money at the time my LS motor took a crap on me. So i decided to pay off the money used for the swap in big chunks before i spent big money on the car again. i borrowed 2000 and paid it back 400 a month.

 

[CHILD]

Decided to do a lil cleaning to keep from spending money. My door jams were just as horrible as the engine bay when i first bought the car so i figured id attack those

I forgot to take before pics, but imagine this everywhere in the door jams

Clean!

 

[CHILD]

Clean!

thanks! im running out of parts to clean and restore. after i buy some coilovers, im replacing the front end and focusing on getting a paint job finally.

 

[enycesam]

Good job on the cleaning bro. Looked disgusting in that first before pic.

 

[CHILD]

yeah its been hell cleaning this car. like the dirty pics on page 1. The only dirt left is the old ass carpet and my seats have some un-removable stains. I plan on getting a new carpet and either buddy club or seibon buckets.

i wish i was a ricer sometimes cause my car would be done by now with all replica and cheap parts =(

 

[OTiS133]

stockinteriors.com if your gonna replace all the carpet. oem carpet from them for my sedan is only $114

 

[oddeb707]

Thanks a lot dude!

Sick Coupe!

A lil negative update....My car keeps showing me its age, tonight after leaving my basketball league i drove home and parked, showered, jumped back in the car to grab some food, and bam, the car wouldn't start. Fuel pump primed, main relay clicked, lights and everything worked, power to everything but the car made no sound whatsoever when you tried to start the car.

looked at the floor and noticed a black rubber piece broken in two. The little piece that presses the clutch safety switch button had broken. After four hours of being pissed off i found the issue and fixed it.

Thanks a lot dude!

That same thing happened to my brakes. Well my brake lights wouldnt shut off. Pissed, thinking it was electrical, thought about looking under the dash. Broken rubber piece. Happy again. Easy fix, LOL.

yeah i already did my brake pedal one. I put a 10mm bolt through it, i'll never have that problem again. The clutch pedal one is too hard to reach to do the same thing, i had a 10mm ready and everything haha
