Hey guys and girls,

I'm slowly turning my coupe back to stock but thought i'd share some pics of how it sits at the moment...hahahah!






and of course, the under hood shot..hahaha


it's kinda fun driving it around like this at the moment.

hows the koyo rad? im thinking of gettin one for my typee in my ek? is it worth it? keeps the head cool right?

imported_Mashimaro

you know what, i was afraid it was going to run too cold but it's actually just like the stock halfer i replaced. i wouldn't do it again if i had a choice though. i just got it for cheap and went nuts on the cooling system in prep for track days.

there are 2 sizes for the full size ITR Koyo rad so pick the 'Denso' one since it's not as wide as the other one (otherwise, you may have to notch your upper radsupport/crossmember/whatever it's called).

Why is it going back to stock

Notorious

And nice shocker pose.

imported_Mashimaro

haha, otherwise known as 'Shocker Gap/Shocker Height'!

it's going back to stock cuz i finally bought hatchback (always wanted to build one up).

swapped a lot of parts over already:


but i'm waiting for a bodyshop of mine to be less busy so i can drop off the hatch for a full inside out paint and body work.

Notorious

Nice should look good when your done with it, thats for sure.

imported_Mashimaro

thanks dood!

i hope so too..i'm torn between 3 colors rite now (i'll let you know when i decide!) and i'm accumulating parts slowly for the hatch. i had to de-rice it a bit and take off tint and stuff.

but i've found a CF duckbill, jdm window visors, and also a set of camshafts for the motor...i've got this Shrine of Honda building up in my house now..hahah

Notorious

I hope you dont end up missing your EG coupe, like I do.

I also like where you live.....any jobs for me?

imported_Mashimaro

haha, thanks guys!

yah i think i'm going to miss the coupe when it's gone...

but in terms of work, there doesn't seem to be much compared to Toronto! i'm looking for another job now and it's kinda tough!

Nova_Dust

Nice new project car! A new colour is always a good choice.

I am sorta happy with mine now, this money pit will never end!

imported_Mashimaro
