what are you plans? i see a lot of potential

 

[Mr. Lin]

Yeah, there is potential. Let's have more pics.

The Future.

Keep in mind this is a sedan, ok?
Exterior:
1) Repaint the bumper (same color to compliment the clear lights).
2) paint side moldings (maybe).
3) Yokahama Avid T4 tires. http://www.tirerack.com/images/tires/yokohama/yo_avid_t4.jpg
4) Sensible (look wise) Rims or just nice wheel covers.
5) Sun roof
6) Gull wing driver and front passenger doors (yeah, baby)
The Heart:
Right now, it's a stock d15b7. I added new spark plugs (NGK Iridium IX) and new Spark plug wires (Blue JDM triple cores), and a new Valve cover (oem -black). and a blue OBX Stainless steel coolant reservior, which I'm having trouble with, because there is no hose exteding INTO and inside of the tank. It has a blue cap, which looks funky.
This year:
1) Cold air intake (long)
2) 4-2-1 Headers.
3) New Exhaust and muffler (strong, funky looking but quiet)
4) High output alternator.
Help me build this, but keep it reasonably priced, no rice and not too noisy.

Next year:
Swap up to a b16 (automatic).

More later. Will post more pics.

its a nice project ride but if you go for speed why not get a manual 5th gen

 

[anfrey]

i recommend the avid H4s intead of the T4s... they handle much better in wet

1) Performance, 2) looks and comfort 3) speed; this is the order of my priorities. It's a sedan, so I'm not trying to race anyone, but I do want a little pump under the hood. I would be more than happy with 170-220 horses, most of which I will never use (ha). I forgot to add that I'm tearing up the interior and laying down new carpet and leather seating. I will lay sound proofing underneath the rug, in the door panels and behind the rear seats for a quieter interior (better to hear the system and less road noise. The advise on the h4 tires is noted. Thanks. I have one minor problem: I just bought an OBX catch tank off of Ebay, and the thing doesn't have a hose or connector inside of the tank. I can connect the tank (aluminum with blue cap) to that radiator, but there is no hose extending down INTO the tank itself. Help.

if performance is first get a new engine....

 

[flipmoderacer02]

thats a nice project car...keep us updated...

 

[honBOY]

nice project that would be good for a H22 swap hehehehe

 

[94cdx]

Skool me

Hey, school me a little on the H22 swap. Are you sure I could get an Accord engine in the baby? If so, what other mods will I need to do in order to accomadate?

 

[ImportFan1]

the H22a is out of the prelude and it will fit there are several ppl on this site that have done it and know more bout it than me i would get rims and not hubcaps and lower it too

 

[94cdx]

Hey, I hear you on the rims, but, like I said, I want to keep it sensible. I'm not trying to draw too much attention, so I would be more than happy with some nice, reasonably stylish covers. I will put all the money in comfort (seating, quiet interior, sound system), handling (wheels, suspension) and performance (engine, tranny, exhaust, sterring). I'm not going to drop the car, and you can't make me (ha). I'm going to definately do my research on the H22. I see Osakamotors.com has it for just under 2k, which at 200hp, is a great price. Now, here's another pic of the back of the car with the lights on. I haven't change the bulbs, yet, and will do so this week. I need to know what's your opinion about mixing the clears with the stock red and yellows? Let me know, and thanks.
That grey civic is burning, BTW. Hot.

[Jericho]

looks like a good base for a project ferio, definitely has potential for it

 

[94cdx]

about the ferio

Jericho, skool me on "project ferio," and I would like some feedback on mixing the clear and stock tail lights. I installed one corner first, then went "hmmm, interesting." Tell me what you think.

 

[94civicsedan]

I think you should just go all clear for corners and backup. the half and half looks kinda tacky to me hehe. I wouldnt know too much about tacky haha i have "carbon fiber" tezzas on my car haha.

 

[94cdx]

Thanks for the feedback

Ok, I'll ask one more person, but I'm leaning toward all clear. It just made me pause for a second. Thanks. I will be posting more pics soon,

 

[MDurai]

I'd place the other lenses on there also... Looks like something missing and the color changes too hard from one to another

 

[94cdx]

thanks, I'm going to put the other lenses on. I noticed the hard color change myself, too. That's when the novelty started to wear off.
