Basically this is a way for me to keep track of progress neg/pos critisism is welcome!

So i bought the car in very back 6 months ago, in pretty bad shape. The pics speak for themselves i was setting the car up for a East Coast Honda-Tech meet in Richmond, VA, how ever my abs delete got backordered from Acuraoemparts.com. Well In case anyone actually is reading this:

Currently NEED:
RS non abs proportioning valve
two front rs brake lines from pp valve to caliper
two lines from brake master cyl to pp valve

Im going to keep this updated. So heres some pics

Started to paint the supersonic blue pearl and ditched after i did the bay and wanted something more exotic, but this was my first time EVER painting, base coat clear coat, napas crossfire line. NO runs or anthing, just a little dirt from not enough prep.



Bought a built gsr longblock high cr, and a gearspeed b16 s4c transmission


Bought ITR doors and shaved the rest of the moldings on the 1/4s


Random trashy pics of how it looked


Bought a oem itr wing


Bought some knockoff bbs wheels for 100$


After all this sold the swap the car sat for two years. Went back and forth to a couple people and then i picked up in Norfolk, VA, in REALLY bad shape. The guy who had the car basically destroyed it. Had a ls in it everyone said was good so i trusted them and started to build off that.


Started the clean up process






Well after getting it all cleaned up got a decent offer for the usdm front, so naturally sold it and bought the JDM ITR front end locally from www.jspecauto.com. If you guys ever need conversions or swaps i highly recommend them for all of it. So i picked up the front, cluster and a itr climate control.

Then the next paycheck a buddy had a entire ebay turbo kit for sale, i upgraded to a HKS ssqv bov, tial wg, and a revhard mani.



Started to fab the ITR front on and sat here currently


ROAD TRIP almost to maryland to trade a rear disc conversion for a NRG quick release and momo tuner wheel.




Did a quick wire job on a buddys car for a lower tie


So i finished the front end and had it welded on and did a couple other small things on the turbo kit, its not a LSD s4c transmission, added arp head studs, blox cam seals, brand new head gasket, water pump timing belt and had my conversion harness finally come in.








Then i found out after a week of troubleshooting, the LS engine #3#4 cyl were low cr, so this kind of set me back. My gf decided she didnt want the 00 EBP si she had anymore so she traded it for a 94 fourdoor gsr with a very VERY built gsr turbo setup. Basically since she was selling a car she let me put a stock ls in the fourdoor to sell it and gave me the turbo swap soi ended up getting:

94 gsr longblock
supertech dvs
supertech tit retainers
CTR cams
oem hg
arp headstuds
je 9:0.1 pistons
eagle rods
morosso oil pan
fullrace t4 ramhorn mani
garret gt40r turbo
fullrace tial 50mm bov
fullrace tial wg
fullrace 3" vband downpipe
precision 1000cc injecotrs
itr trans with quaife lsd
exedy twin disk clutch
itr flywheel
bbk im
alot more you get the idea.
