Well lads!
Been on the lookout for a facelift Sir for ages and finally I found one that had been parked up for around a year!
It was a facelift 99!
Went to view there and decided to buy it! For the price it was, it was too good to let go!

The car is bog standard which is exactly what I was after! The only exception being genuine desmond regamasters! The car itself is in great nick! Not a spec of rust anywhere! Engine is bone dry And not a bit smokey! Very strong pull out of vtec!

Plans for the car are to firstly give it a full service!
Have a 5 stud & ek9 wheels to go on then!
Carbon spoon spoiler
Sir mid spoiler

The car is my first vtec! And it's going to b minded like a baby!
Will update this as I get things done!

Spec as of 31/07/2014

15'' Te37's
Full 5 stud hub conversion
Meister R Zeta R coilovers
Blue D1 spec lugnuts
Mugen front lip
Carbon Spoon spoiler
Sir mid spoiler
Ek9 Rx centre console
Ek9 Facelift Headlights
Toda V2 Exhaust Manifold (not fitted yet)
Interior is oem for now!
Engine bay is oem for now!


The car after I bought it! Will get better pics soon!

Awesome man! Would like to see updates on this :nice:

Also, if your selling the grill tell me :lol:
 
Very nice :nice:

Any updates on this?

Ye a few small updates i guess :)

Been very sick health wise the last 10-11 months so progress has been very slow! :angry:

Mostly been collecting parts & Saving for a respray!
Hopefully the car should be fully re-sprayed in the next 4-6 weeks so really excited about that!

Im going for a white and blue look! Kind of hard to explain without pictures..
But basically the interior im going for will be exactly like the Civic Type r interior except Blue...

Pic here to try help explain...

JDM_DC5_ITR_Blue_Interior_zps227f4861.jpg


So above is the blue dc5 interior.. My interior would look to that except to suit an ek obviously

So..

Blue DC5 Recaros
Blue carpet
Blue mats
Blue doorcards
Etc

And i know you cant get these in blue so it'll have to be Custom made etc..

Blue H's for centre caps...

Still havent got my Spoon spoiler or toda v2 from japan yet *:fplam:*
Having a real headache with rhd japan!

Car is off for respray in 2 weeks time! Will update the thread with pics of the car before its resprayed!
Only reason im getting it resprayed is because the paint is shot on it!

Im hoping the car will turn out something very similar to this SiR!...
only difference being my carbon spoon spoiler!

Yo that's looks soo sick :)), specially the front lights make a huge difference

Ek9 wheels suit it just need dropping now

168.9bhp & 149.3Nm of Torque!, the power it made for a standard car shows its a very healthy engine :nice:
 
Was hoping for some updates on this, good job and nice power figures for a stock car.

I used to own the Y56 facelift SiR, Awesome cars and so rare, This have the LSD 'box?

Also I'd get rid of that rear lip and keep the SiR look strong, I don't think the rear lip looks quite right with the mid spoiler.

As above once its resprayed there will be a lot of updates :) cant really do much to it until then!

Ye it has the LSD Box dude!

but ye i completely agree about the rear lip! It'll be going off the car! The rear looks 100 times better with just the sir spoiler and a spoon spoiler on it!

:nice:
 
Small update...

Spoon Spoiler arrived finally after like a month of waiting!
Was surprised at how light it was & didnt get stung by customs so am delighted!
The toda is being sent by EMS too so fingers crossed it wont get caught by customs!
