'00 EBP EM1 - Newest project

[Road Pirate]

Well, as some of you may know, the hatch is gone and I got a new project. I like coupes much more than hatchbacks, and I really wanted an EBP si, so, I searched and found one


So here it is:

It was super dirty when I got it, so I did some cleaning and buffing, and it was a world of a difference.
Before

After

Some random pictures of the car:

The LS/VTEC never ran right, and it ended up loosing compression two cylinders. The guy was using the wrong headgasket, wasn't torqued properly and the valve guide seals were gone. He gave me an additional JDM B16A with tranny along with the car, so I'm currently in the process of swapping heads, using a cometic head gasket, ARP headstuds, Golden Eagle dowels and oil plug, etc.
The B16A

I'll get some more recent pics up soon, but the GSR head is off, and were doing a semi wiretuck.

So anywho, I hope you all approve! C&C are welcome.

I like the choice you made, really feeling this car !

I thought that looked like a gsr intake mani and sure enough it was, that cosmetic headgasket will bump your compression up a little bit, right? what are your overall goals for this car?

Thanks a lot man! And yeah, it was a GSR mani, but since I'm swappin in the B16A head, I won't have to run it anymore haha.
And yeah, you can choose the thickness of the cometic gasket, I chose .030, so we'll see what happens. You can go all the way up to .060 +..which will lower your compression.
Goals are simple, tasteful OEM mods, nothing crazy like my hatch, and mainly focus on suspension and interior

Looking good man. What are the plans for this one?

Thanks man! Well I just said what my basic plans are, but so far heres some stuff I bought for it:
Carbon spoon mirrors (will probably go with power folding in the future)
HOP window visors
kevlar intake
kevlar plug cover
license plate caps

But thats it so far, I'll take build slowly

my god that thing is beautiful..still liked your hatch tho..nice pick up dood

Haha thanks a lot man! I liked the hatch too, but I love coupe body styles more

Haha thanks man! Basically just Omni Power suspension, random motor mods (intake header, 2.5" exhaust) just random stuff like that. But thats fine with me, I like a fresh start!

Haha, I grew up in CA, I miss it, but then again our cheaper rates and no emissions are awesome

Yeah the title was clean, but the front end was obviously smashed, he did have it pretty low when I got it, I raised it up. And also the drivers rear quarter has been repainted so it was obviously in a fender bender and was fixed not with insurance companies haha.
And thanks man, much appreciated. It has the Omni Power full adjustable coilovers, and stock everything else. haha

I've been waiting for this for awhile now. Looks very good.
Keep it up brah.

Thanks a lot man! I'll be sure to keep you all updated on the progress.
