great pics man! Car looks very nice, if your looking for another asthetic upgrade I think a lip kit would suit your ride well. good luck sir

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

holy shit!! looks good!! some oem sideskirts would set it off lovely....props!!

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

thanks guys

sideskirts are definately next on my list, might get the door handles color matched, keep the mirrors black with a black roof.

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

i like the pics :tup: def a nice jdm based coupe lol :)

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

looks nice.. that front red H.. is that from an EP3? or Fit? I was wondering which one fits our 04/05's.

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

wow thats nice :)

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

That is beautiful. As mentioned, sides and paint your handles and mirrors. I dont think you should do the black roof.

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

woot. 5 lug. like the brakes too. where did you get those from? i say side skirts and a kswap next. lol

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

Dope, engine shots?

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

any details on your 5 lug convo?

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

looks clean, I think dark tint and all around lip kit would top it off.paint the mirrors and handles the car color . maybe red H on the in the back too.

car looks nice...

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

how r the seats?? i was thinking of getting those but my car is a daily driver...r they comfotable enough for ciy driving and 2 hour drive trips??

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

looks awesome! Love the wheels and brakes! They look very similar to the TL wheels. I wish i had the photography skills and camera to take some nice shots like that! the only thing im not in love with is the steering wheel, only bc of no air bag. you may want to find out for your state, but im pretty sure in most states it is illegal to ditch the air bag (or any other safety restraint for that matter) that comes stock.

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

Thanks for the compliments and comments :)
Yeah, as mentioned, sideskirts are definately next lol, going to source out some EL sideskirts, I really like those!

the shop owner here plays with a lot of hondas, most of the parts were used, but they're all in MINT MINT condition! Wheels, brakes, 5 lug, etc. etc. were all from his shop.

stock d series, with a Fujita CAI, that's about it, nothing special :(

^^ as mentioned above, everything was from the same shop.
I used RSX-base knuckles, so I don't have to change my axles, with EP3-R brakes, Russell SS lines, EP3 e-brake cables, RSX-S brake booster with 15/16 master cylinder, EP3-R calipers (hence the Type R on them) with Carbonetics street/race brake pads.
Genuine EP3-R wheels too :)

The Buddy Club seat fits me perfectly! Mind you... I'm a skiny ass asian guy, so it fits me snug. Daily driver can be pretty annoying, but you will get used to it. I went for a bucket seat because I love the lower sitting position:tup:

RE:Chawski:
Yes, a lot of thigns are illegal up here, but that's how we roll :rockon:

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

the ctr wheels are hawt!

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

impressive!!!

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

man u must have shaved off a good amount of weight with the seats and steering wheel am i right?

any comments on the steering wheel feel? so u have no airbag then?

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

very nice +1

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

car looks really good!

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

lovin the brake setup , what kind of hub adapt is that?

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

steering response feels better because of the small wheel, so it requires less turning of the wheel for the car to turn.

and yeah, no airbag :)

hub adapt? for the steering wheel you mean?
its a Momo Hub with a SSR 50mm spacer (purple thing)

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

Those wheels are awesome. What are they from?

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

I don't think you answered this but...what front emblem is that? I bought a 02-03 ep3 off someone and it looks smaller then our stock h. Nice brakes.

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

EP3 Civic Type R
17x7, +45 offset, 215/45/17 Yokohama Advan A-046 tires :)

The red Honda emblem was from a DC5 Type R I think... don't remember exactly, either EP3-R or DC5-R.

Thanks!

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

Looks nice, That whip is soo jdm

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

hey can u please post some pics of the seats witht the door open and u standing outside car?? i wanna see how low it is and such cuz i want to get some seats in the future and those buddy clubs r light and cheap! :)

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

I don't think there's anything about that car that I don't like. Looks really good.

Re: ~*2005 SSM (JDM Based)~*
 

maybe some other time? because I didnt' take the pictures, my friend did with his Canon EOS 30D :D

but just to give you an idea of how low it is... I'm about 6 feet tall, when I'm sitting in the seat, my eye is level with the top of the dash, so basically from outside of the car, you can only see the top of my head :rofl:

again, thanks for all of the compliments!
