The car is coming along slowly, these are the first pics I have taken besides the day I got it and a little background.

the car when I got it had just had a new single cam put in (still a d16y7) it had the 99-00 front end and SI lip the CTR Style spoiler - 99-00 tails, OEM skirts, CTR rear lip and DIY black headlights. inside had the OEM Armrest and an EX cluster with a tach. Not too bad for 4 grand if you ask me.

The bad - the seats were beat to ass, the headliner was coming down, the radio was broken, the lugnuts he lost the key for and I went to 6 wheel shops that couldnt find a fitting key or get them off, the 99-00 conversion was done wrong so the headlights stuck out funny and the bumper didnt fit right, oh yeah it had M3 ebay mirrors that rattled the shocks were f**ked etc ...

here are the new pics after 4 months







EXTERIOR - I added the eyelids and put stock mirrors back on it and put the front end on the right way

SUSPENSION - KYB AGX 8 way adjustables w/ground controls and 15x7 Rota slips (I have a rear disc setup in my garage from a GSR but IM too lazy to put it on)

INTERIOR - I picked up some seats out of an Integra for cheap, I put in a new radio to find out that he blew a fuse and didnt know it, also added alpine type-s speakers all the way around. and I put the radio down bottom and got a block off for uptop

MOTOR - Its a stock d16y7 - I have a y8 intake manifold coming and Im waiting on my injectors and an ECU then this goes on ...

OMG turbo what? - the intercooler was in the backseat of the car, so its not pictured


For those who care here is the turbo parts list:
HF Manifold
14b Turbo (internally wastegated 8 psi)
BMC Adapter Plate
Tunertoys Oil Lines
Tunertoys Coolant Lines
Custom Intercooler Piping (all painted black)
Custom Downpipe
TurboXS BOV
EBay Intercooler
Golden Eagle Vacuum Block
RC 310cc injectors
Chipped Non-VTEC ECU w/CROME
OBD1 Jumper Harness
D16y8 Intake manifold

Not really hoping for anything crazy - the car is a daily driver for now until I can get something else and build the car from the ground up. Until I can do that the car gets boost some new mirrors and window visors ... that will probably be about it, eventually some new shoes =)

yeah the slips are 15's :thumbs up - Im thinking about getting a set of polished slips in 16's just for a second set of wheels

as for the eyelids - like I said sometimes I like em sometimes I dont - as for now they are on the car - they will probably come off at another time and then go back on again lol.

thanks for all the comments guys.
