My em1

[conorem1]

I've been on clubintegra for a while, but since I bought a civic I decided i'd make a thread here.

Okay, so many of ya'll know my integra was totaled a couple of weeks ago, thank god for full coverage. Was on the hunt for another integra but finding clean ones that aren't ragged on or beat to s*** are a dime a dozen, so I stumbled across this 2000 SI with a gs-r swap this week. Test drove it and looked around a bit more before making the decision on it, but decided it was a good deal. It's a salvage title, carfax showed it was stolen and stripped in 08 but I can live with that. Has A/c and all the creature comforts intact.

Here's the teg sitting in the salvage yard -

Now onto the SI.

2000 EBP Em1
87k on the chassis and 80k on the motor

Motor
b18c1
AEM fuel pressure regulator
No name SRI

Suspension
Skunk2 springs on stock shocks
SI wheels

Interior
GS-R leather seats
Black interior
Pioneer headunit

Exterior
SI lip (In trunk waiting to be installed)

There are a few things I need to fix here and there, like connecting the heater and replacing a stripped wheel stud. Other than that I give it a 7/10.

Sorry to hear about your teg man. Nice come up, though. Power wash that engine bay, repaint the VC, and that car will be looking really good!

Saw this on CI. That is a nice find you got. Hope you like it. My friend had an EBP em1 and it was gorgeous.

Thanks ya'll, the wiring is kind of a mess so I'm going to have to clean that up when I get a chance.

EBP is one of my favorite colors, it just kind of sucks it's not all that original with this generation SI.

[crash!]

That thing is minty. Wowee.

No fogs? Paint matched bumper inserts? Has this thing had a bumper replaced or something?

Looks clean man.

check out em1crew.com

I've passed over EM'1s for sale time and time again. It's never the right time or place but damn I want one so bad!

It was stripped in 08 so I can only assume it was replaced, the front end is a little off but it's only noticeable if you know what you're looking for.

The chassis miles and everything matched what was in the VIN lookup so at least that part is straight.

clean is it just the muffler tip that is messed up and angled funny?

It's a little bit angled, but it's only noticeable if you know what you're looking for, lol.

Also I got a ctr lip



It's going to get paint matched soon.

And here's a better reference for the muffler angle

My lip fell off on the way home from work on Friday :/

But I gave her her first bath in my possession, hardly any scratches in the paint.

Bummer.. see if you can track down an OEM Si lip with OEM hardware. They're a bit pricey, but it's worth it since this is a legit EM1!

That wasn't a CTR lip anyways, just a generic "type r style" lip. The 99-00 Si and CTR lips are actually the same. Get an OEM lip on there and you'll be set. You can tell that the front bumper has been replaced or at least repainted at some point because the lower grill is painted. I'm guessing the front lip was damaged and replaced with that one because it was cheaper.

Yeah, I work for Honda to so I get discount on parts, ill probably end up doing that.

And I'm a noob with civics, I'm still learning. Haha

...dude.. you work for Honda? Get that OEM Si lip! Do the front and rear! You should get them, with installation hardware, for a ridiculously good deal. Also, I'm fairly certain you can get them pre-painted in EBP from Honda. Do so, and you're set!

Yes I'm a tech, I'll look into it. I'm sure it's still a pretty penny but it'll be worth it.

Also I'm gonna order buddy club p1s. I've always like em and have enough after this paycheck.

Specifically in this color, i'm going with 15x6+42 so I can keep my tires since they are brand new, and that leaves tires out so it won't be that expensive to get.
