From This To This In 2 Weeks!
So I purchased this 91 Si from a 40 year old guy with all dealer records the car was bone stock. There is no rust on it and runs great. In the past 2 weeks I have transformed it to what it is here. Mods include strut bars front and rear, 2.5" progressive rate springs, 17" rims with fusion tires, B&M short throw shifter, clear corners, intake, exhaust, cross drilled rotors and next up a motor swap!

The rims are from my buddy we'll just say he had to get rid of them quick and needed the money. BTW the clear corners have the amber bulbs in them so it is legal and as for the color when I do the motor swap the car is getting stripped and a complete color change is in order. The car was 2g's cert and e-tested. According to the records at Honda the motor had a rebuild 75,000 km ago top and bottom end.

well regardless of the amber bulb they are still illegal as it needs to be an amber reflector in that position...but hey, ur car, ur choice...u live in barrie or whatever so u prolly wont get hassled for it, just a fore warning though
please dont paint the car...its original now and in good shape, painting it would ruin it. The colour is awesome and the paint looks like awesome condition

Thanks for the comments and the warning...again as for the corners I got pulled over by the MTO on lakeshore in Barrie on Monday and they never said anything about the clears. From one EF driver to another Old Skool rules!

Not bad, glad to see you found a rust-free ED.
IMO should have went with smaller rims/tires, a different colour and possibly taken off the roof spoiler.
Still looks a lot better than before though, good find

Do those rims even work? Because if your car came with 175/70/R13 wheels, then a a 205/40/R16 would be a much better fit. I'm not sure what the '91 Si wheel specs are, but you might be messing around with your speedo and mileage with these rims/tires

Yeah i agree, the rim's are sorta big for the car. The back sorta has the tucked look, while the front is just low... I think you should try and match it up, unless you got a **** load of weights in the trunk
