Ok basically this is the only site I'm gonna bother with a build thread because I'd rather not put it on ImportAtlanta because I'd rather locals not know about it for obvious thievery reasons.
I got a lot of things right now and currently have built my own engine(Don't be afraid it was the 7th one I did last year). I'm also a painter, and a damn good body guy so basically I do everything better than most shops because I've been trained by Body shop Nazi's. I've got the credentials to prove it. But enough about me. A few details.
Car is a Rhd eg6, 131k on it. Came with some weird wheels and Blizzak tires. Body is pretty much immaculate expecially for its age and location. Only 1 door was rusted out. NO body rust or rusty bolts or any rusty hardware. IDK why just that one door but its just the skin and I'm just gonna get a non rusty Southern door for $50. At this point what I know about the car is that the roof and driver quarter has been painted, it looks to have been in a light fender bender in the front because it's had an upper tie bar put in and the paint was a dead giveaway as well as their lack of corrosion protection on their welds. Also on the apron there was a dent they didn't fix when whatever happened to it did. I think its had a hood too and a new front bumper and back bumper. All OEM stuff though. Also I noticed the quarter panel on one side was a little wavy. I took a grinder to the painted quarter panel to find out what the little jap body men had done. It had filler from one side of it to the next. It didn't need nearly as much as was on it and the metal wasn't even dented in just dings so I dunno what they were thinking.
At this point I need mounts and a few random pieces to get the engine going. No big deal since they aren't expensive.Here's kind of a rundown of the setup:
B20/vtec w/ gsr head
84.5mm rs machine "Itr" style pistons
ARP rod bolts w/ rods resized
Bottom end fully balanced and polished
All honda bearings and seals
Gates Racing timing belt
Bisimoto header w/ 2.5" ID
Itr trans bought new from acura, has 2600 miles
Skunk2 pro series IM
Golden Eagle fuel rail
Rc440 injectors
Professional products 65mm TB
Skunk2 tuner series valvesprings and retainers
Skunk2 stage 2 tuner series cams
Skunk2 tuner series cam gears
Exedy stage1 clutch and steel flywheel
Supertech valves
Golden Eagle ls/vtec kit
Apexi WS2
So I'm expecting about 200-210 wheel hp and about 140-150 wheel tq. Thats not far fetched because the one I built identical to it except the other b20 I did had pro2's and it made 227/162 on a dynojet.
Update: Made 226/151 wheel
Exterior is a little more simple. I've got real stuff for the most part:
J's racing front lip
J's racing intake duct
Mugen side skirts
VIS duckbill w/ LED
J's racing tow hooks
All jdm exterior parts b/c thats what it came with
I've already painted the engine bay, the color of the car will be the same color which is Habanero red pearl off one of the new civic si's.
Suspension is not too crazy, I haven't bought some b/c I gotta get the car ready first
D2 coilovers
function7 rear lower control arms
Function7 rear subrame brace
Beaks anodized purple lower subframe brace
Buddy Club camber kit
Password Jdm strut tower bar
Volk CE28n time attack wheels black w/ toyo proxes tires. 15x7.
Well I've gotta take a lot of pictures but I'll give you a few teasers. Also the front end is dirty because of the El Camino that was shipped above it. I'll give you more photo's as time goes on.
