Changed the oil today and also swapped out an aftermarket IACV to an OEM one because the aftermarket one was causing my intake to make popcorn noises during idle. Also fixed the broken arm rest tab that kept popping up during driving with a new OEM part. Snapped some pics in the process.







HOA badges


UA4/5 clear sidemarkers (the ones I had previously came from an Accord and were flat and not sticking out like these)




pass side badge




also removed my rear 20mm spacers today




also copped a Kingmotorsports Mugen license plate frame


sittin pretty












Also, wheels are going to be test fitted tomorrow





Ordered some Legend Calipers also because its time to upgrade my brakes and also going to order SS brake lines and then invest in some new rotors as well to upgrade the whole suspension. Will update later, peace!

 

at your wheels

 

Lovin' the six speed shot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sidenote; jjasha, do you spend as much time on the gen boards as you do here!?

 

Looking good!!!


Side note: I never understood the 32V badge.. There is no Dot in between the numbers so what does it means?? The car doesn't have 32 Valves.. my only assumption would be 32 = 3.2L / V = VTEC.

 

32v= 3.2 liter V block engine

 

Any pictures with parking pole up?

 

no I haven't wired it up so it doesn't work yet

 

What steering wheel is that from? I need that to to complete my converision? I need to find that grey burlwood color. So hard to find!!!!!!!!!

 

Car is looking fresh as fuck!!!!!! I noticed you needed to change the badge on the engine to the Honda one. Also just be aware that the JP curtins will fade with the sun. I was upset that It happened to mines. I had them for a little over a year.

 

Mine is the 99-01 UA4 wheel from the inspire/saber. They have the UA5 wheel for the 02-03 on ebay for sale right now for like 300+shipping it's in wood grain though not the grey wood.
And thanks man I'm ordering the H badge for the engine soon it's like one of the last things I been puttin off for the conversion haha. But I feel your pain my curtains already faded on the driver side cause my window is always down. Probably just order a new one in the future or something

 

Sick shoes! I cant wait to see them on ur ride.

 

nay.... my time is mostly spent here

 

Wow, awesome work so far! In for pics with the new wheels mounted

 

Nice ride! Is the roof and rear spoiler from heeltoe? I have been thinking about buying the carbon fiber rep, but wrestling with the price (and also not sure of the quality since I can't touch and examine before buying)... Would love you feedback...

So Fly TL 973 - I have the OEM grey/black burlwood steering wheel... I scoped out eBay and pounced on it back in 2004... I am almost embarrassed to say how much I paid for it... $175.00... And then had the dealership install it for $70.00. Keep the search going and good luck!

 

No I have the Sarona roof spoiler and a genuine Mugen wing actually. From what I've seen about the FLP spoilers the design is different for the roof spoiler (AznWay has the FLP roof spoiler) compared to Sarona and for the wing the fitment is slightly different based on each one produced but the fitment is almost the same as the actual Mugen wing itself.

 

Looks good Teo.

Dem wheels though, I think I kno who you picked them up from.

 

this should be fun. planning on painting the calipers either red or blue (haven't decided yet but leaning towards red) also going to upgrade to SS brake lines and 12.8" 350Z slotted rotors to run the BBK. plan on getting EBC redstuffs as well for the pads.

also...test fitted the wheels the other week…..





the rears are going to require a good amount of fender work (radius fenders) to fit right otherwise I'll be running -7 camber the fronts are okay though I might go with a 215 series instead of a 225 and just camber the front a little.

 

GAWD DAMN..... I LOVE IT!

Don't do red or blue for the calipers. Please go black or gunmetal!!!

Do you plan on shaving down the ACURA on the BBK and putting on Honda stickers? If not, I recommend doing so.

btw, can you PM me on how you installed your sidemarkers.

 

Yea man I've been debating about the ACURA on the calipers but idk how that'll look if I slap a sticker on it or if it'll even look right. Cause it'll be the only piece on my car that says Acura since everything else is converted but I might leave it, unless I can find an alternative that'd look nice. We'll see what I come up with

pm'ed

Peep the op's RL bbk, i messaged him about it. He said to use a dremel to shave down the lettering, paint the calipers, put the Honda sticker on, then clear coat.

I say you do it.

 

Interesting....more pics

 

damn sexy wheels and calipers!

 

DAMNNNNN makes me wanna get new wheels now! what are the specs on the wheels?

 

19x9 +20 19x10 +20

 

fuark thats hella wide in the rear! car looks awesome man

 

thank you man I appreciate the love. yea because of the rears i cant even fit the wheels proper without a great deal of fender work which is why they won't be going on for awhile (probably next year).

 

red over blue calipers any day.

im stoked to see the rear fender work, yeah that looks like a real tight fit currently.

 

car is looking good

 

newest mod lol yayuh

 

Oh man, these are one of my favorite sets of wheels....very nice.

 

I think I'm in love

 

What is that dash table thing??

 

exactly that haha you can order them from Vipdout.com

been lurking the boards (and ebay) collecting parts for the past few months. Managed to get 2 OEM JDM front lips and a set of intersection lights. Also been trying to slowly get my wheels on and test fitted them again the other day. Here's a few shots.

JDM lips


Intersection lights


Rear fitment (no camber)








Front fitment








Hopefully get these bad boys fitted by the end of summer and all the new mods on too. New front lip will be installed likely the same time as wheels. Have a few more small mods coming as well. Stay tuned!

 

needs camber to be flush!!

 

Haha! hoard all the jdm shit! Should just buy trevors complete bumper too already. wheels looking sick brotha!

 

Lol! Gotta keep extra lips you never know. I've been trying to take it off his hands, unless you can convince him to ship to me lol. I could always use an extra bumper but thanks brah if only our rides could do a shoot together in person that'd be dope

 

i LOL

 

Damn, my dream wheels man.
