My "EK" Hatch

[drave]

First off, this is my first "build". If you came in there expecting a crazy motor build, it's not here. I'm perfectly happy with the power that the motor is making, so I'll be leaving it be. Next winter however, I will probably going with a mild turbo setup, as I plan to be tracking the car quite a bit. I'll be keeping this thread alive for the next few years probably.

Basically my plans are:
-Most likely a koni yellow/gc coilover setup
-EM1 lip
-OEM CTR Cluster (done)
-15" Konig Helium(11.2 lbs), with 205/50/15 Azenis (done)
-Apexi WS2
-GSR rear disc brake conversion (done)
-Fog lights (done)
-Sparco steering wheel (done)
-Fix the hood/rear bumper
-Some form of 4-1 header
-Password JDM CF Intake
-Password JDM Spark Plug Cover
-Password JDM Air bag delete
-Power Steering delete
-BLOX LCA's
-Mild Turbo setup, 5 psi, 200whp.
Here's the car as it sits as of now:

JDM Integra RS (USDM GSR) 14mm Rear Sway bar

Rusty as hell, gonna sand it down and repaint it black today.
DC2 Rear disc brake conversion

Again, rusty as hell. Gonna sand it down, put some truck bedliner on it, and clear coat it.
GSR Axle-back muffler

Gonna bring to to a sandblasting shop today, going for the polished look. Like this:

New wheels, dirty has hell, I'll have better pics when I get around to cleaning them up

lol @ dirty tires in the room, i couldnt stand keeping my wheels in my car. nice hatch. scale of 1-10, how hard was the rear disc swap?

Looks nice. Where in NY are you from?

 

[matt96ex]

looks pretty good. try and get some clearer pics!

Jbuck2kCivic: I live in Canada, not NY.

Noodler: I haven't done it yet. It's not hard at all though. You simply just take off the old trailing arm, bolt everything up to the new one, run your brake hoses, and e-brake lines, and you're done!

Matt98ex: Haha, those are just cell phone pics. I'll see my girlfriend will let me borrow her SLR.

Polished mufflers are so cool.

IMO, the black valve cover looked better. Plus, you dont see many DOHC valve covers in black. Too many red ones around. Overall, looks good though. Also, what lip is that in the 1st two pics? Its definately not a EM1 lip. Looks like either a Spoon or Mugen style....

 

[drave]

It's a ebay Mugen knock-off. I don't like it too much, doesn't fit quite right, it flares out on the sides, it's warped in the middle. An OEM EM1 lip would be better imo. My valve cover before was black, but the paint was starting to chip a little bit, so I just did a straight trade with one of my buddies who had the one sandblasted and powdercoated sky white.
