Well to give you a little history I started off with a 98 Black Rs. The car was pretty fun for a daily driver had a simple intake, headers exhaust, yonaka coilovers and a cheap xtd stage 3 clutch. I than began to slowly convert the car into my weekend warrior with a nitrous kit and eventually started boosting it. Was using an fmu at the time and after a few engine swaps due to poor fuel management I decided I was going to tear the car down and found many rust issues. As luck had it I found a much better donar shell though Automatic and it was a 2000.
Rust from the 98
And shots of the 2000 as I bought it. I sold the bumpers, headlights and seats as I wanted to swap over mine as they had already been trimmed for my intercooler.
There was some minor rust Issues so I also swapped the doors and fenders from my black one.
I than realized my jumper harness for my demon p06 ecu wouldnt work so I got down to business
My depinning tool
The spaghetti business
Not near as clean but it works minus a tach issue I've yet to conquer
Surprisingly has inner fenders
Welded in a small patch panel, sealed, filled and primed
Installed the shifter linkage
And the clutch pedal and clutch master cylinder
Cut the old mount out of my black one and measured everything. Welded it in. It's not pretty but it works
Swapped a few panels
My drag radials.. I still need an lsd
Sitting with no headlights Looks like a 4x4 here.
Wastegate and manifold bolted up
Threw on my El turtle wheels and put my coilovers and skunk2 upper ball joints in
Shot of the business behind it all
Had a problem with my previous downpipe so I seen this one for sale for my turbo. It was off a civic with a turbo d16y8 so I modified it a little
I use my friends commercial shop to do work. I had my intercooler ready to bolt on and couldnt find a decent drill bit to drill threw the bumper support so This was my temporary fix. It has since been corrected.
my Rc550 injectors that came out of an eagle talon.. so Yes I did put inline resistors in
Obd1 injector clips
Boost gauge. I still haven't taken any pictures of my wideband
2 stage boost controller with electric switch
Gm 3 bar map with pig tail
How the car is sitting for now. I took it for a small drive but unfortunately I had a coolant issue and winter soon hit. I'll be working on it again come spring
