Dominick's Build (Third time's the charm)

[Dominick]

Well fellas, the time has come again. I was planning on getting a FA5 for a nice daily and an all around car for me until I can get a steady flow of cash and what not until I can afford a project car.

However, doing my usual interwebz trolling, I found an UBER clean EBP for a steal of a price. I couldn't pass it up. So no less than a week later, I now have my dream car.....again....for the third time, and hopefully the last.

Onto the fun part.

Pics from when I got her home and in the safety of the garage:

Specs:

-EBP 2000 EM1
-OEM everything
-OEM Rear lip
-Fogs
-OEM interior & floormats
-Skunk2 Shift knob
-White cluster with carbon fiber overlay
-Alpine Headunit & Kenwood Amp
-Koni/GC coilovers
-Skunk2 Gold LCA's
-Front & rear strut bars
-AEM CAI
-DC Sport header & catback exhaust
-145,xxx OG MILES!!!!

This car has been daily driven for the past 6 years and has been babied so well. I can't wait to do the same. I really lucked out on this one.

Now, plans. Not going to touch the motor for now, because its also going to be my daily and you really can't get a better daily than an almost stock B16.

Future plans:

-Engine bay cleaning
-Comptech Icebox
-ITR header
-Vibrant 2.5" piping to a 2.5" inlet/outlet Flat black muffler
-PWJDM Blue stitch shift boot
-OEM Si cluster
-K-Tuned B series billet shifter
-USDM ITR black Recaros
-Works Bell Quick Release & lock
-Personal Neo Eagle (Blue stitch) Steering wheel
-35% tint all around
-New headlights (undecided on type)
-OEM EBP fogless front bumper
-OEM Si front lip
-OEM mudguards
-OEM Si spoiler with trunk
-EDM "CTR" mirrors
-Enkei PF01's (16x7 +43)
-Yokohama Avid (205/50/R16)
-(In the long run, a USDM GSR motor/trans w/ factory LSD from HMotors)

Now that I've been around the block a few times, I know when to do something, and when to let it slide. I'm going to take my time and not rush anything. I already love this car more than my last and I can't wait to drive it anywhere.

Stay tuned for new pics!

Thanks

Good that thing is gorgeous. I want one. I keep telling myself that this is the only way I would go back to a civic, unless a really clean 99 ex or a 95 si hatch came along.

haha.

However, I did do a little something today.

I did one last transfer of parts over from the EX to the new Si. I switched the headlights, one foglight lens, and the gauge bezel over because they were in better condition than the stuff the the Si came with. Plus I changed some lugnuts over to just some black ones with a lock on each wheel. Just to be safe.

The tear down.

Headlights before

Dem Koni's is derty

Headlights and new foglight lens

And a lil quicky picky of the baby

Thanks. I really only spotted rust in the bay. I know that eventually I'm going to swap the motor, but for now, I'm going to try and get rid of it.
