[Turbo]

Ok so i've been back and forth on doing things to the hatch and being indecisive....so i have recently just bought/acquired some parts that will be going in to the hatch. The hatch is on jack stands in the garage since it will not be out during the winter here in Germany...So i will start with a mild parts list and post pics as i go along...

BC spec 2 cat back exhaust
PIC Select Coilovers
Skunk2 Camber Kit front and rear
Walbro Fuel pump
Datumi tow hook
8K HIDs(might be selling want to get 10K healights and 3K fogs)
PasswordJDM Whale *****
Spoon Sports Magnetic Tranny and oil plugs
Spoon Sports reservoir Covers
Spoon Sports BLUE lug nuts

That's all for now... can't wait till all the boxes start rolling in...post office is going to love me again. lol

A few progress pics for today, it's cold in the garage...and i'm still waiting on parts so i decided to take the strut tower bar off, change the intake, and take the suspension off...still waiting on the PIC coilovers and Skunk2 camber kit...

Step 1.

Stock CTR suspension

Off...

Stock Intake...

More to come when i get my ****!ng parts...i'm paranoid as **** having over 2Gs in parts floating around in our postal system...i've already had **** stolen and broken....i don't trust them...

i don't want this to turn into a flame/hate/negative thread... so just keep that in mind as i update this.

Remember this is MY car not yours... if you have something negative to say, take that drama and bull **** back to STLSR or whatever forum you frequent and post there... i will keep updating this and share what i can with anyone until this thread goes south.

for the mean time, here you go:

I started off with this, US SPEC 99 DX

Then got to work...

Stay tuned, more pics this week...Then even MORE this weekend...

motivation on this car is at a 10 right now....

Alright fellas,

So i got off work at about 1400 hours(2pm) today so i decided i didn't want to wait til Saturday to go work on the hatches since that's when i normally do it. So i went home changed and went to WORK!!!(today was mainly on the CTR) Started at about 1500 and by 1700 hours(5pm) i was done, and at a stand still till the prep work, body, and paint are done on the black car for me to start putting anything back in it motor wise or interior...

Enjoy

wow, chill man, this place isn't like that, we make sure of that, not everybody fits in here, trouble makers are quickly dealt with, though since the birth of the forum we have only had to ban two or three trouble makers, everybody else is just here for the love of it, sometimes we hate someones car, sometimes we love it, however we express ourselves it is always done with respect.

I'm confused, why are you stripping the EK9 and putting everything on another EK? Did I miss something?

me too

 

[Vtec6000]

Id imagine cause where he lives all car's are left hand drive so he has to swap all the parts over to a lhd civic

 

[Turbo]

i'm in Germany, and this is a Japanese Spec EK9 CTR. I will be going back to the USA in the next year and Japanese Spec cars(the EK9) are not legal. So i am putting it all in a US Spec car. So i can take the car back to the USA with me.

 

[magikcivic]

[McJazz]
