Eg Project: Not a show car.

[SeeAreEx]

^^Thanks Signature!

Yeah Mario I was just pricing out a felxalite rear glass set. 599 for all three pieces and 266 for just the hatch peice. That and a cf hatch Id be sub 2000 easy. Yank the seat and pass headlight on track days and I'm laughing. Just need more power.......

I wanna weight my eg!! Where do I go lol:confused:

[eglove]

weighing stations outside of the city. strathmore one is pretty easy to get in/out of

[signature7]

Do you have to pay to use? If so, how much?

[SeeAreEx]

Head towards okotoks andstop at the rest stop the scale is right in the middle there.

[Clark-Kent]

Any Updates??

[SeeAreEx]

No :( I've been busy with moving and all my money has gone to d/d and rent. I have my eye on a few parts for the car though, hopfully I can pick them up soon. Speedo healer and a mishi rad will be ordered end of the month, that much I do know. I'll update once I have somthing good for you guys. Sorry Ive been slacking lately.

Cheers

[Myz]

Hey Buddy.
I'm totally diggin what you're doing with the car.

There's so much pleasure & satisfaction to be gained from taking a sub standard car (in terms of condition) then giving it some TLC to restore her to former glory.
Can't wait to see the end product!:thumbsup:

[SeeAreEx]

Thanks alot man. Yeah its been so satisfying enjoying the process so far. Within the next year this car will take a change for the better. I have quite a plan set out in my mind. Stay tuned for that.

[Joe-G]

nice. Saw you near southland today...near the carwash :thumbsup:

[SeeAreEx]

Yeah that was me, I seen your car to, dont know you at all or I would of waved haha. Next time I'll be sure to! Car looks good man I like the visor.

[SeeAreEx]

Little update.

I took off the winter wheels/tires/lugnuts, removed my spare and teh rear seatbelt bolts and drove down to the scales again today after work. She's sitting at 920kgs/2024 pounds with a 1/4 tank of gas and I still need to install my cf hood. About to order some parts to lighten the load even more.

[SeeAreEx]

Bought one of these saturday. Don't know what its for though.

[Sentry]

Hasport K Series radiator adapter for an EG. :poosie:

[SeeAreEx]

Dawww thats what that is? I guess i'll need a k-series to use it then wont I? .... Shucks...

[Sentry]

Well shit I guess you're gonna have to. :dunno:

[Mr_ET]

they are also used to for water temp gauges on any motor of your choice :P

[SeeAreEx]

Well that's not nearly as fun as a k-series.... Haha

[Sparx]

wanna know how i know ur ballin? :rolleyes:

[SeeAreEx]

Hahaha yeah right. Doin a k swap is gonna have me on kraft dinner and grape drink for a year lol.

i donno that sounds pretty good to me.

:dunno: :D

[jdmgt]

I have a set of hasport k series mounts if u want to start that swap!!!
Nice build, keep up the good work

[civiccx92]

stock up on food now .....then eat kc and grape juice...you can lose those xtra lbs. that way ..good luck with the swap..i may have a gsr engine in the next few days, keep us posted son
ps:im still looking for si speaker grills and mounts for the back of my hatch

[SeeAreEx]

If only I could stop spending money of other things for the car I might actually get the swap underway. For now i'm concerned about how to get my car into my new garage...:( Stupid sidewalk down graded garages...

[Sparx]

If you start with the K do you think you'll have it done before end of summer? I was looking forward to meeting you this year

[SeeAreEx]

Oh no the k swap won't officially begin until the fall. I'll b driving her as she is for the summer so I'll definitely be out for the meets and shows and track events. I'm just going to stock pile the parts for a huge winter build up. Paint k series everything.

[Sparx]

Awesome to hear, so back to my previous statement... Wanna know how i know ur ballin? :rolleyes: lol

[streethondas]

Dam thats got me thinking!!! I wanna go K:bigpimp:

[SeeAreEx]

Picked up a password jdm 3 point strut bar from Jason last night. Gonna customize it a bit on this beautifull god Friday haha. Then off to apeedtech Saturday to order a set of aerocatch hood pins. I'm gonna need all the help I can get to keep that k series under the hood haha :p happy long weekend guys!

[Sparx]

Forgot to ask before do you plan on sticking N/A k20? or throwing boost at it?

[jdmgt]

hey Travis,

thanks again for driving all the way down the the south.

if you need k swap parts let me know. we can just order two of everything. I wont be doing my swap untill fall either

[SeeAreEx]

Thanks Jason I'll def keep you updated on my status for k swap parts.

Sparx. I'll be staying n/a for sure. Just basic intake manifold throttlebody header and a good tune for starters. Then well see how serious it gets.

Make that 3 of us for k parts. Ill probably go k24 and just adapt my current turbo setup to it.

[streethondas]

count me in too :bigpimp:

btw how much is a k24?

[jdmgt]

i will be making an order from k tuned pretty soon, so let me know if there is anything u guys need.

[SeeAreEx]

Holy bandwagon! Lol just kidding guys. Imagine 4 egs rolling in a row with k swaps. Look out Calgary haha.

[SeeAreEx]

Hey Jason any reason your going with ktuned specifically? I been liking hybrid racing stuff alot more. Seems to be more r&d put into the parts and quality is up there from what I've seen atleast. I really want to get the new hybrid shifter package but it costs a mint.

[jdmgt]

I get a good deal with k tuned, that's why I go with them mostly. There are some parts that I will get from other places. But most will be from there. What mounts do you plan on running?

[Sparx]

Haha my plan was to k24 this year but that was prior to having 2 winter beaters shit the bed since December and buying new ones. Then i thought about just selling my turbo set up and everything to go k20r but im too much of a boost whore lol

[jdmgt]

you dont need the k20r. just run a k20a, with the z1 cams.

the z1 and k20r cams are identical

[SeeAreEx]

[QUOTE]Originally posted by jdmgt

If i buy new it will be hybrid i think. I'm trying to do this swap somewhat cheaply so from now till fall i'll have my eyes peeled for used parts to complete my list. I still have alot to do to the car in the meantime so don't want to sacrifice one for the other.

[jdmgt]

Check out k20a.org tons of used parts at great prices. Most of the parts are from people in the U.S. Though

[SeeAreEx]

Yeah I'm a member on there. Ordered my aerocatch locking hoodpins today. Tired of my oem latch giving me trouble so I'll be tossing that soon enough.

[SeeAreEx]

Picked up some gold skunk2 lcas from Jason last night. Going to swap them for my gp racings since the bushings are replaceable and will be better for the track time this car is going to see. Hope to get them on this week. Forgot to mention the skunk2 magnetic drain plugs and spoon socks i've had for a couple of weeks now to.

Ps. password jdm powdercoating is the real deal. Shit is tough and hard to get off!

[jdmgt]

lol, cant believe your trying to remove the powder coating from that bar

[SeeAreEx]

Haha It's just about done. I ran out of paint stripper though. Stripping it will be one thing. Polishing it is going to be a whole other ordeal... :(

[SeeAreEx]

Does anybody happen to know if a full size aluminum rad will work with a k swap? I know the bottom rad hose location is somewhat close but Im not sure about the top hose.? Anyone know?

[Sentry]

I didn't think stripper would even work on powder coat. If I were you I'd be looking for someone with a bead blaster.

[SeeAreEx]

It works pretty good actually. Spray it on and it bubbles a bit then just rolls right off with a paint scraper.

[Sparx]

Gold skunk lcas hey we can be brothers :rolleyes: lol

[SeeAreEx]

Haha F yeah!

[SeeAreEx]

New lca's and front strut bar are now on. Pics soon to come.

[jdmgt]

a set of hasport mounts would like nice with your new strut bar. lol

[SeeAreEx]

Haha no doubt there! If I had teh money i'd have them dont you worry.

[jdmgt]

well i might have them for a while. i dont think there is too many people in calgary doing k swap

[SeeAreEx]

An old photo back in March. The reason it will never be a show car haha. This car gets driven.

how did u do that:eek:

[SeeAreEx]

Its beyond me. I pulled into my old apt and there were some kids standing in the way so I waited till they moved then drove into my spot. Before I shut the car off the kid was bangin on my window saying I ran over his computer. Never felt anything or heard anything. Next day I noticed a huge crack in my bumper...:( Oh well I think the stitches add character haha.

[suprame]

Haha hey man saw your car today in deerfoot meadows. I was in a blue eg. your cars looking so good With those wheels. Props to you man

[SeeAreEx]

Thanks man, I'm feeling you car to! The chick I was with was like " do you know that guy? or just cuase you guys have the same car? Haha I was like its kind of a honda thing. Never thought about beyond till now. Cheers bud!

Lol ive had girls say the same thing to me before. I get it twice though the "nod" from eg guys and the nod also from jdm car drivers lol

[SeeAreEx]

Well I finally got the password bar polisehd. New skunk2 lca's installed. Got my illest stickers and speedhunters license plate frame, Had to hard wire my rad fan to a switch annnnd i'm still waiting for my hood pins from speedtech. 1 week turned into 4 pretty quick.

I'm also putting together a bumper quick release kit very similar to the old srr ones that are so rare these days. I may be putting a few extras together if anyone is interested. Good for track days or those with intercoolers or getting into a pesky driveway/garage in my case. Should have some pics up soon.

[Sparx]

Come cruise tomorrow dude ive wanted to meet you for like a year lol

[SeeAreEx]

Haha yeah man i'll be there for sure! Think you'll reconize my car? haha

[Sparx]

Hahahaha ask anyone who knows me i have the eye for egs i never get them or their owners mixed up :D

[SeeAreEx]

Finally got my Quick releases for my bumper. Pieced some kits together. If anyone is interested in these just pm me. A whole lot cheaper then the $45 us they are charging for them on honda-tech.

http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs578.snc3/31499_399560132992_507107992_4035289_3499969_n.jpg

[eglove]

lol 2 screws and a rubber band?

[SeeAreEx]

It's actually alot more like these. Only with better mounting hardware. Bolts/nuts/washers instead of screws and clips. I agree they aren't for everyone but they will save you some time if you frequently take your bumper off and on. You could mount them in many diff locations and probably hide them pretty well if you wanted to.

[eglove]

if i still had my EG i'd definitely be down.

[civiccx92]

hey there travis get me some pics of your hood latch so i can see what you did...dad

[SeeAreEx]

Aerocatch hood pins came in today. Try to get them installed on monday. Also found out my exhaust needs to be removed completely and re installed properly, I have rubbing issues and a torn exhaust hanger and grrrr Piss me off. It'll be a late night monday for sure. Pics to come!

[SeeAreEx]

Managed to get a few things done this weekend. Installed a wings west rs front lip and j's racing carbon fiber bumper duct. Also got one of my hood pins installed. What a task that was... Someday i'll finish the other side haha. Let me know what you think.

Thanks Pops.

Not much been going on with the car lately. Threw on a Thule roof rack for my new mountain bike that's about it. Just been driving the piss out of her daily haha.


http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs019.ash2/34327_418050652992_507107992_4502240_7548588_n.jpg

[suprame]

:thumbsup: bike rack looks awesome!

lemme know if you ever wanna part it haha:devil:

[SeeAreEx]

Haha thanks guys, The rack was sitting at my work forever so i asked about it and got it for free. Just bolted it straight through the roof. It changed the whole car. I love it.

[SeeAreEx]

And all loaded up for a weekend in the mountains

[civiccx92]

i like the Gerry Cheveers stitches...eh

[SeeAreEx]

Wow it's been forever and a day since i've updated this. Unfortunately not much has changed aside from the rigors and stress of daily driving your project car during the winter. Lot's of wear and tear. I'll soon have an update with what's in store for the spring/summer. Hoping to overhaul the works of it only keeping a few things the same but we'll see.

Cheers.

[projekz]

What front lip is that? Sorry if you posted that already, I'm too lazy to read the 14 previous pages:thumbsup:

[streethondas]

^^Wings west RS

[Sentry]

Still rocking the single aerocatch? :P

[SeeAreEx]

Haha nope I managed to get the other one installed but I shattered it in -40 after filling up my washer fluid and it wouldnt close for me so I gave it a love tap and it broke. :(

Yeah it is a wings west rs , Mugen gen 1 copy.

Picking up some spoon goodies and a full width dual core rad this weekend. More surprises to come!

[SeeAreEx]

So the last few days were pretty eventfull for the project. Picked up a 95 integra gsr with an "unknown" engine problem so the motor will be hauled shortly and rebuilt regardless of the issue. Lots of upgrades will be happening in that regard.

Grabbed a spoon fan switch, thermostat , duracon shift knob last night and a mishimoto full rad on the weekend that will be installed come spring.

Lots of other plans and things are in the works just a matter of time. I will post up some pics as soon as I get a chance!

[SeeAreEx]

Found out thegsr motor has a hole in the block but that was almost expected. Looking for a block if anyone has one.

In the meantime I picked up a spoon sports rear sturt bar to add to my collection of spoon goodies :)

[Sparx]

I stilĺ have my ls block kicking around if ur interested it has a type r oil pump as well

[SeeAreEx]

So I realize this is a bit late, or alot late really but none the less here are some auto cross photos from the summer events. Had a blast and can't wait to get more involved this season!
