UPDATED PIXURS child_racer EJ8

[child_racer]

The car is sanded down and im doing all the prep work right now (fixing small dents, smoothing out a few areas) so dont tell me i need paint, like i couldn't notice the obvious. I have a 96-98 rear bumper because it was given to me for free with a huge whole in it, but I fixed it and primed a couple of body work areas. The car sits high in the front because the majority of the SOHC is out. enjoy

one more just to show 3 of the MANY FACES of my EJ8

My car has went through soooo many changes in only a year and a half, plus 3 different colors!!!! Thats what happens when you're a body man and mechanic for a living and you get bored!

[child_racer]

so hook it up brah...per my car...I need my bumpers and side dents fixed so i can pait it.

 

[child_racer]

If i were out in Cali i'd do it man. Body work is my life !

 

[Blowncivic1320]

lookin pretty good!!!

i hate to say it, but i kinda liked it before when it was kitted, now it just looks like every other civic, still cool tho, good luck with it

 

[jokenfu21]

oh it says your location still says california. you do a great job brah. i don't trust a lot of body shop here all they do is shitty job they make it look real good when it's finished then wait a a year or two and the paint job start to peel. that's why i wanna do the job, but i need someone to fix my dents and cover holes, and my bumpers are F'd up. Nice work brah...

 

[ReggieSD]

As for the engine, I was on my way towards a B16B but I've received news of me being put out of the air force soon so I dont have countless dollars to spend anymore, but I'm still planning on doing a JDM B16A swap or a D15B w/turbo. Right now I can get the B16A for less than the D15B turbo, but we'll see.
FUTURE PLANS:
*I have a Spoon replica lip that im gonna switch out with a Siebon carbon fiber Mugen style lip w/out vents
*J's racing canards
*Spoon carbon fiber mirrors
*JDM sidemarkers (already here)
*OEM double sided carbon fiber hood (painted only on top)
*C-west rear bumper
*16" Rota Circuit 8's in Bronze (mugen MF8 replicas)
*Buddy Club racing seats
*Takata 4pt harnesses

thanks for being honest.....It took a year or so, but i kinda fell into the Jspec style.....not to be confused with JDM because I refuse to use shitloads of stock parts on my ride

yeah, it does kinda just blend in now, but after I change all the things I want, it'll still stand out. I wanna build it with a lot of the big name company's out there. In the end it may clash having mugen, spoon, and greddy (to list a few) all together but the picture i have in my mind lookz sweet, so i dont care

that would look really good.. and as far as go goes.... if money is an issue i would ALWAYS say single cam turbo... because a regular b16 in a coupe is not gonna give you much... it will basicly be an SI with a little more go...but over all im sure single cam turbo would be facster AND more fun to drive.. and even though its more money.. you can do it in steps... and BTW im getting takata harnesses pretty soon.. but if money is an issue.. id completely forget about it... they are SO SO SO expensive...

bronze with white will look real good... do you plan on keeping it white??

 

[oc_civic]

but i kinda fell into the Jspec style.....not to be confused with JDM

mind explaining the differance.. i have a lot of oem jdm honda parts, and also spoon parts.. so which am i?? not too many people i know who are inot JDM STRICTLY use oem honda of japan.. i mean shawn hillers ek hatch just for example was pretty JDM but still had lots of japanese companies on it.. like spoon

awww no more kit for your civic??
