The more I think about it, the more excited I get to see your car once you have the seats in to match the red panels.
I'll be keeping a close eye on this one. Gotta love an innovator.

It's been pretty fun so far.
WOW thats pretty baller status right there. Still owning both cars! I wish i had money like that. Thats alot of work you got there. atleast you can do it back to back. And its a HELL of a luck getting another WDP. then again that is the most sexiest color haha.
PS your shift nob looks like a dildo, HAHAH i keed i keed, well actually it does! hahha dont take it the wrong way.

haha yeah it does kinda look like an aqua vibrator slash dildo. Maybe when the females look at my interior through the window, they'll see the shift knob and it will arouse their senses.
It looks decent with the recaros, ...the recaro fabric is not as vibrant as the painted panels, so it doesnt exactly match.
6MT FTW!
Thanks Henryk. Hopefully it'll come together soon enough.
haha
yo on aim you told me you painted custom red interior, I was like wow, JDM status, now after looking at the pics... TYPE R Yoooooooooooo
if I had black interior I'd be outside spraying my shit, but I have light tan
love the pics man, the process looks real good, maybe this time you can friggin dyno
ps. still think you should throw cat deletes on before you put the blower on

Good deal!Thanks!
Nice progress so far! Two comments: 1) That yellow valve cover looks REALLY out of place, a different color would've been better IMO. 2) I know the 6MT has Brembos, but are you still planning to put the Project Mus on there if they fit? I'd think they are better than the Brembos, and they definitely look better.
What up Hayes. The cusco one?
...Captain Morgans! Thanks.
Thanks!

Are you going to GTLive this weekend? I've been the past two years, but this time I have decided not to go due to the fuel shortage recently. VIR is a little closer for you. I think HART Racing might have a new honda Accord running on the track. Last year they had a 03-07 Accord Coupe with the J30 motor, it sounded good. You can also see the TSXs some of the teams run.
Sweet! Let me know what it is, i'm curious.

I'll get some up near the end of the weekend hopefully. I let my brother borrow the camera for GTLive. Are you planning on going Faiz?

Perhaps! Spoon did decide to paint their intake manifold red on their Honda Legend race car. I've got a picture of that somewhere, i'll try to find it.
Indeed indeed!
Thanks Kiran, how you been man?! Keep your 2nd gen, it's one of the hottest i've seen.
I've got some coming up in a little bit. My brother had the camera over the weekend and took some pics at GTLive.
Thanks man, i'll get some more pics on the interior.
..and six of them i might add!
Thanks for checkin in daily. I'll try to get a more consistent stream of photos going.
haha good luck to whomever decides to try it. 6 individual drive by wire throttles.
..of the C32 with ITBs? I think my friend found of a video of it the other day.
Sorry Faiz!..i'll get with the program here.

Update:
A little maintenance on the manifold. This picture shows the true shine. I love it.
Cusco catch can removed.
Did a little test on the blower to see what it looks like with semi gloss paint. I'm waiting to find the metalcast smoke paint.
Interior with seats, panels removed.
View of the mesh and red H removed, blue radiator support bars can be seen.
