So im slowly recoversing and my shoulder isn't bothering me as much as i thought, the only issue i have at the moment is i seem to get headaches constantly... repercussions of my concussion (no pun intended) i assume but ill be visiting my doc this week to ask about that.

ANY WHOOO, i figure i better start a build thread as modifications on the EK have already begun and parts have been ordered and on the way. My new "back to basics" build is starting with a 96 Honda civic hatch CX with a full ITR swap (B18C5) gotta love that Type RAWR.

Theres nothing like old Vtec, the RSX has iVtec which was nice but old skool Vtec is so much more pronounce i love it! Since i was still recovering from my new frame modification to the RSX i was just sitting at home... "resting". but really playing video games all day trying to heal sucks and is especially boring when u start a new project. First mod included painting the new black fender.

No your eyes do not decieve you the color is totally off, but at the moment i could care less the whole vehicle will be stripped down and painted i was just looking for something to do and mis-matched body parts kills me... LOL

i then picked up a CTR replica spoiler, not too happy with it i definitely want a real one but it was cheap and looks alright and since my fender was another color might as well add to the collage of awesomeness.

picked up some more goodies

Coilovers have also been ordered and on the way

Why are JDM tail lights always the best?

Also picked the gem up at PNP, simple mod but probably on of my favorites

Stay tuned for some K20A goodness and much much more... hopefully this Honda makes it a few more months than the last one did

I miss working on my hatch.. let me know if you need help installing anything. I love how easy these things come apart.

i love how interchangeable they are! its ridiculous

Guglianoh · « **Reply #4 on:** April 05, 2012, 05:57:11 pm »

Transferred my J's racing exhaust onto the EK sounds great but I must admit it sounds much better on the K series

After an oil change today the sun faded paint and washer fluid stained hood got to me so i decided to work my magic

been waiting for these for seems like forever but they finally arrived, lol i love how it came with a tiny measuring tape to measure your ride hieght. i only got these because they were cheap, will upgrade to most likley KW's once the swap is done and i have money to waste.

just curious but why didnt you keep your supercharged k series from your RSX and swap that in rather then a b18?

Guglianoh · « **Reply #9 on:** April 21, 2012, 09:04:17 am »

I bought the vehicle with the B series in it already, I'm selling the RSX engine because I want a type R K in my EK and I want it NA

It looks like thy are using an EK subframe on that picture, I will be using a EG/DC2 subframe it pushes the engine back (toward the fire wall)

My Dad · « **Reply #12 on:** April 21, 2012, 12:08:03 pm »

Hmm it does and also moves it more towards the middle of the engine bay too.

Guglianoh · « **Reply #13 on:** April 21, 2012, 07:57:24 pm »

Yup it also releives stress on the axles because if you use the stock EK subframe the axles working angles are a lot greater.

Small update i installed my coil overs, skunk2 lower control arms and ASR swaybar brace. i was disappointed to find out the sway bar didnt fit because of my exhaust

the exhaust will need to be modified to install the sway bar.

These things are great! no shopping cart ride that usually comes along with coilover install.

i also got some custom made spoiler risers they turned out great!

i was also curious about how light this beast was so i weighed i was pleasantly surprised. these are the same scales which i weight my fat fat STI on (3360lbs)

Small update:
ITR 4x114.3 brake conversion along with ITR wheels

I thought Integra Type Rs were 5-bolt, but I guess I was wrong. Are you going to corner balance it with your fancy scales?

the early Type R were 4x114 the later ones were 5x114... this is what ive found on my research any ways i could be wrong and these could be CTR not 100% lol all i know is i cant wait to get those drums outa there

VanCharvel · « **Reply #17 on:** May 09, 2012, 10:47:53 pm »

Holy crap this looks like a fun little car! I miss the simplicity of my Civic :/

And damn is that engine tiny! Look at the cute little radiator too

Guglianoh · « **Reply #18 on:** May 09, 2012, 11:23:40 pm »

LOL yup its pretty cute at the track as well

Guglianoh · « **Reply #19 on:** May 11, 2012, 11:30:10 pm »

Didn't have a second set of hands to test fit the hood but I'll get it on tomorrow. Rear quarter panels are on the way along with CTR front grill and type R rear lip.

I'm looking for a reputable shop to take her to that can weld in my new rear quarter panel and paint her inside an out. I'm willing to pay for quality work I'm very picky when it comes to paint

Zac · « **Reply #20 on:** May 12, 2012, 12:37:23 am »

something seems outta place, is that a facelift bumper with 96-98 headlamps or vice versa? I thought they didnt interchange.

Just something I learned the hard way when trying to put older parts on my sisters 2000 coupe.

Spencer-jdm · « **Reply #21 on:** May 12, 2012, 07:25:01 am »

Just looks like there's a gap at the grill/hood. Hence why he bought a new Ctr grill and hood?

YuP u got it I only left my old grill on cuz I didn't want a huge hole in the front of my car right where my hood release cable sits
