New project(s)

Well, I like to have so many irons in the fire that they almost put the fire out SO, I got a couple more projects:

1998 Civic DX 4 door. One owner car, garaged until about 3 months ago. Green/tan. So far, I have an OEM SiR lip, OEM round fogs (have to find tan fog switch), near mint HX wheels, and some minor suspension parts. Not sure what I'm going to do engine wise but I'm leaning towards a B series. May just leave it a D and make it an econo box.

1999 Civic LX 4 door. Black/grey, nearly perfect body. It's an auto as it's for the wife. Plans for it is just to put some decent looking wheels on it (Si's probably), Si grille, optional OEM lip, OEM fogs, light window tint. Car will remain stock height as the wife does not like driving a lowered car daily. Probably get basic stereo upgrades (deck and 4) and I'll put her old alarm/remote start back on it (Ungo SR5000, IIRC).

1999 Civic EX 4 door. Black/grey. THE car I had been looking for. It is a compromise car as the one I really wanted is in CT. Has a few dings on one of the quarter panels and it needs a rear bumper. Pretty much loaded option wise and it drives halfway decent. Plans for it are: Si grille, OEM optional lip, OEM fogs, paint side skirts, not sure on wheels yet. EM1/CTR front lower control arms/shock forks/front sway, ASR rear brace, ITR rear sway, SPC front upper camber/caster arms, SPC rear camber and toe arms, up in the air on coilovers right now. Either going to do the Bilstein/Neuspeed, Koni/GC, or possibly the Tein Flex setup. I'm going to drive it for a while (a couple weeks-month) with the Y8 swap in it then it's getting a B swap of some sort. Probably going to go ahead and upgrade the brakes. Wilwood fronts, some sort of disc rear, braided brake lines, the basics. Get the dents PDR'd and detail the car inside and out and call it a day.

Pics coming once the friggin snow is off of the first two cars. May get a pic or two of the 99 EX this afternoon.

Absolute crap pics due to snow and using a phone as a camera. Sadly, it's failboat camera works better than AT&T's service does here.

LMK how much you want for the y8 swap when you pull it.. i have a customer in need. unless he decides to go LS instead.

Will do Ben. The Y8 swap actually runs really well and is very quiet. Once I get all of my parts to freshen a GSR swap I have here, I'll be pulling the Y8 out. Should be within a month that it's out. Harness may even come with the swap as I'm pretty sure I still have an EM1 engine harness laying around somewhere. any parts he does not need, I can pull off of the swap; if he wants engine only, I could probably do that, too.

I love all the 4dr eks. I just picked another black one myself.

Looking forward to seeing what you do with them.

Small amount of progress on the 99 EX. Added the Si front grille/lip and also put on a set of Si wheels. Today, I picked up my headlight housings with E55 projectors retrofitted into them. Hope to have them in the car later on this week.
