My real RHD eg6 build
- Thread starter 12.8:1 Ls/vtec
- Start date
i thought only the GATHERS interior folded flat... the jdm is different, but GATHERS was a jdm only option correct?
Eh this one is different. I'm building the car I really love to look at. Very nice, and decently quick. I'll probably only go to the drag strip with it every now and then to see what I can do. If I blow it up I'll build something else. It's not the end of the world. But with this car I'm building it to what I want the first time, and building it to a point at the start. Not something that gets better over time but is the car I wanted to build to start with. If I add anything to it then it will be subtle. I've got other really cool build Ideas and I don't want to use them on this car. I'm also not the guy to sell anything I like. That also means I have all kinds of cool goodies like extra B series swaps sitting around, extra tranny's and just great parts. I'm wanting another eg 4 door, and another eg hatch. But next I've got to do an engine for my daily. It's gsr is getting rather boring. I'm thinking a gt28r and many of the extra parts I have lying around. Just a well rounded quality build that I can beat the tar out of. Truth be told I drive like an old man 99% of the time. I'm just wanting something for that 1%.
I'd like to have nicer seats in my eg6. I don't really want anything in it that's too powerful in that car. If the car is gonna have power, then I'm not going to always be nice to it. This eg6 is a Meet piece mainly with a little drag racing. I don't have time to auto x either.
But to answer your question vaguely, I will have trouble not building cars. I so want an eg 4 door again.

Gather's makes speakers and many other interior options for JDM cars. I'm pretty sure all the hatches have the same interior design other than there were other colors. (ex: gray, blue, yellow, black)

Well I took my other b20 bottom apart this morning and took it to a tuning shop I used to go to before I could do most of my work. I've know Jim at Motorvations Motorsport since I was 17. It's been a long time. I just took my engine down there to go to a machine shop I trust. I was going to put my J's racing spoiler on but I went to Buffalo Wild Wings and bullshitted for a while. I'll probably work on it all day tomorrow and be at a stopping point for until I can get the engine out and other engine back in as well as the glass and wheel alignment. Then it's pretty much assembly. I love this part.
Where did u go to get the tint removed? Thats interesting to me...
I hate removing tint

Just a local tint shop. I took the glass up there out of the car and they had it ready for me the next day.
That is a good idea. I would never think to do that!

Well I got most of what I set out done today. I had a little help from my friend Justin today. I had him help me put on my spoiler and line up my door. I also had him sand blast my wiper arms. I didn't get to prime and paint them or the plastic pieces I was setting out to paint. Other than that most was where I wanted to be with it.
Here's some progress from today.
I was initially going to put a duckbill on the car. I even bought and painted one. But I decided on a J's Racing GT wing. I put the VIS duckbill on. It fit really good. No surprise since it's made by Voltex.
And the piece that took the most time is the J's racing wing. I measured 3 times and stuck it to the hatch to make sure it opened and closed.
I raked it all the way up to see how silly I could make it look.
But that was for fun. I really like a more subtle look to it. If that's possible with that wing.
Here's a few pics of how she actually sits.
Also I installed my left door and lined it up. Maybe some of the stuff i ordered will come in. I'm about to be on another ordering spree. so upcoming pics I hope. And the finisher pic is the somewhat assembled door and the spoiler.

looks good. Whats up with the wheels?
Man that wing is gawdy lol. But its not over the top enough that it pulls away from the build i dont think...

The wheels and tires aren't what is going on the car. I have some Volk time attack Ce28's. Those wheels just came on the car. I didn't want 3k wheels on the car while I was working on it.
And the spoiler looks great in person. It will only get better once the front end and side skirts and windows are in. It better look good for a $1500 wing.
$1500?!?! Thats more than I payed for my 7th gen!
