Dominick's Dream Car Build (yea, its gonna be a slow one)

[Dominick]

Well, I finally have my dream car. While it's not EBP, its the next best color in my book, FBP (with a bit of blue mixed in). Its a 1999 EM1 with a couple of tasty goodies added in. This is going to be my daily driver and I plan to eventually do some Auto-X or basic track days with it, so no boost in my future.

On to the mods:

Chassis/Body/Suspension

-Repainted FBP with blue flakes
-Ebay fogs
-PWJDM fogs
-No scratches
-No rust
-Mild wire tuck
-Orange painted engine bay
-Tokico Suspension
-Stock Si's

Engine/Performance

-No name Short Ram Intake
-Stock Throttle body
-Stock Headers
-Stock Intake Manifold
-2.5" Straight pipe to 3" Vibrant Exhaust
-Exedy Clutch

Interior/Audio

-RSX Front Leather Seats
-RSX Rear Leather Seats
-S2K Steering Wheel
-Pioneer HeadUnit (iPod/USB)
-New motors and mounts for pesky windows

I bought it for $4000 and IMO, was worth every penny. While it needs alot of cosmetic work, it's a mechanically sound car that will get me through whatever I need.

Onto the pictures. I haven't been able to take legit phots yet, but within a week or so, I will have better ones up. BUT for now these will have to do

Me and my friend's new Mazda 3s. He and I worked on tinting the tails and paint the brake calipers.

Dat bay

My favorite

Thanks guys. Yea the bay was a total bonus. haha. The ad said "wire tucked" and I never asked to see the bay pics until hours before meeting up. haha

Thanks guys. The exterior is the best part about it though. The interior needs work and there are bolt-ons to be......bolted-on....???

Looks good so far. Glad to see you have a plan too. Bay looks great, but I's say you need to get that VC painted.

Thanks man. It's different that's for sure. It's also a different color scheme. I've never seen another like this.

Thanks broski. I'm actually going to respray the whole car EBP after a couple of years, so I am going to buy some blue inserts. I'm going the black and blue theme after I save up for a full respray

Yeah bay is beautiful, and I really want some RSX seats like that, was gonna ask you what method you went with to install em but those were probably in it when you bought the car huh?

Thanks man. And yes, they came with the car. But by the looks of it, the stock RSX rails fit sorta flush with the stock holes. If you want I can take pics.

No updates, but more pictures.

Also, got a new toolbox, so now I can start doing work on the car myself

Nice em1 though!
Really like the steering wheel...
