At first I thought you painted the paneling red.... Whoo thank goodness you didn't! Looks good, I can tell this is gonna be a good build

im definitely looking to swap something in the near future just not right now. my plans are get new suspension, wheels and make it a looker for now.

Im thinking of making it an SI clone, so im thinking built b16

havent decided yet, still focusing myself with the coilovers so i can lower it more.

 

[em1nnabee.paolo]

Im thinking of getting some F2 Type 1s and i was wondering how low can you go with those?

 

[mylovehx]

I like!

 

[mymmeryloss]

Not bad...

 

[Jezek]

Coming along really well

 

[crash!]

Looks good kiddo! Subsribed to see where this is going.

Where in Washington are you located?

I have Function and Form Type 1's on mine. Here's how it sits currently, and I still can go lower.

Its coming along a lot better than I thought! Def +1 to you!

How close do you want to get to an EM1 clone? Its a lot harder than you think when it comes to sourcing out the parts. I attempted this and just gave up.

Heres what comes to memory:
INTERIOR
-Cluster
-Map lights
-Arm rest
-Climate control
-Seats
-Steering wheel

EXTERIOR
-Front lip
-Rear lip (optional)
-Painted trim and handles
-Grill
-Spoiler (optional)
-Side decals

SUSPENSION
-10.2 rotors
-Larger calipers
-26mm front sway bar assembly
-13mm rear sway bar
-Rear disc brakes
-Shock tower bar

And I would DEFINITELY recommend Type Ones for a budget set up. I had them and I absolutely loved them! Even when the car is slammed they ride really comfortable and dont bounce.
