timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

soo basically this is how it goes from my 18 inch rims to blowing my motor timeline, hope you like it :)

when i got the car i found some rims that i liked at the time but the ride in them was honestly like taking a ride down a rocky road, i felt every bump and i hated it aha

i dont know what got into me but i decided to buy underglows, big mistake. i sold them about a week later

i had these lips on but it didnt really go with the car imo then i moved on to the Aero kit from honda, but the front lip didnt have places for fogs so i moulded them in

old vs new

i like it, the fogs are a little weird, but i like how you're probably the only person to have done that with the 01-03 aero kit. good job

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

looking good!

got some more pics...during the daytime? the glare from lights hides all the goodness :P

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

What kind of front lip is that?..also rims? looks nice

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

the front lip is Aero style but i moulded fogs into it so its one of a kind
and the rims are Gram Lights (57pro)

andd i have some more pics up soon

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

How did you manage to do a burnout in third gear was it wet or something or do you have a turbo?

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

very nice i like the fogs and rims

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

Very unique, and pretty clean. SOmething about the front lip is just bugging me... I think it would look pretty sick if it was molded to the front bumper as well.

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

it was wet thats how i managed to get to third gear

and triz i was thinking about moulding the lip to the bumper but then it would kinda look like a body kit type style and i didnt want that look

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

well i have to say it looks great man. keep it up

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

I'm lovin the new look! Great job, man! Btw, what size are your rims? 17s?

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

You fitted the car with a D15B motor ? Which one ?

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

yea how the hell did a d15b go in where a d17 should...the sub frame and motor mounts wouldnt bolt up

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

its the D15B from japan its the coilpack not the distibutor its the exact same as my old one but it has vtec and a egr valve

the engine came out of a es1 from japan

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

yup some 7thgens from japan got a d15... not sure how it is on power.. i doubt it would be much better than the d17 tho

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

A 1.5 liter in a 2500+ pound car must be brutal at low RPM's.

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

nice ride =)

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

looks good

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

thats a cool engine swap very unique. Id be interrested to hear how it compares to the d17

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

Probably not any better IMO. 0.2 Liters less.. I'm pretty sure there isn't that big of a difference in our cars anyway, but it gets good gas mileage right? :sweet:

Looks good bud :tup:

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

so i snaped my drive shaft with my d15b? possible? i didnt think so ahah

ill post pics tomorrow morning

andd when i put this motor in i added headders and a full exhaust and with vtec it feels like alot more power than my d17, all japanese engines have more power than the usdm ones thats why the gsrs and b16s can handle so much boost, they are just built better

im looking to go k20a2 next year the jspec engine, how much work am i looking at? some guy in my area told me i need a new subframe (from an rsx) so that the mounts will line up?

any help is thanked

Re: timeline of my em2, from rice to nice :)
 

my D15B is making jamm

aha and i end up with this

:shrug:
