RoRo's First DA (Canada)

Boom!

im in cambridge, pretty close to T.o.

Im not sure the EF forks are shorter than the DA ones, all i know is my friend had this set up in his EG and he needed EF forks because the diameter of the shock is smaller where the fork goes on since its all for an EF.

BIG UPDATES!
Sorry in advance for the pic quality

so i decided to swap out my tranny with my B16 cable tranny just to get some extra OOOMFFFFF out of the car,
while the tranny was out it makes sense to put in a brand new clutch, and both axles had torn boots so i bought new axles too!



Since my muffler hangs 2" off the ground and sometimes scrapes and shoots sparks, i thought it would be a good idea to go with the stealth approach , i used bbq paint which wont bubble and burn off!

at work the following week i decided to make myself a custom exhaust tip as i hate the dual pee shooters
these 2 pieces of metal were a match made in heaven for my car, all i needed to do was weld the bend and straight piece together and then into my existing muffler.




re polished my Blades today, spent 2 hours and wet sanded with 3000grit and gave them a buffing
this kit is THE SHITTTT, i dont know what i would do without it.


left is after, right is before, which people said we’re fucking crazy clean…oh no, they are cray now.

Bleached my tail lights so they are super white as they were pink (making a DIY on how to do this)
tomorrow im going to wet sand the lenses with 3000 and buff them with my kit so they look like glass :slight_smile:

Now this is a work in progress so please no hate yet! i want this car done for the first big meet of the year (as im sure most people do) and ive just not had the time to do this the way i want but im going to do this legit and shave the middle out, as for now its all i could do to show people and myself what its going to look like…

JDM SIR + EDM ek civic style bumpers. (also re located my plate to the bottom bracket)



everything is win except i hate that tip. good progress

yeah you shoulda just threw on oem honda chrome tips but i get what youre going for, that huge honda badge has to go IMO but great progress… that b16 tranny must’ve made a nice difference, i’m trying to source the same one for my b20… oh and unique idea simulating the EDM ek civic… i always loved those bumpers on the 96-98 civics

agreed on those tips…after i get mine out of the body shop i’m getting rid of my ebay axleback for a oem style axleback. but yea everything else is pretty much money

i wet sanded the tail lights today with 2000 and then 3000 grit, and gave them a 3 stage buff with my little kit and i swear they look like they are made of glass!

even on the other forum i posted on EVERYONE hates the tip :frowning: but i like it

those blades came out real nice!. would like to do those to my mesh’s but?.. other than that i likey your DA!.:up:

Cool idea doin the jdm ek civic moldings.Im in for more custom stuff, keep it up man.

That’s all that matters :rockon:

Yeh man, thats all that counts!

and thanks guys!! the EK style bumpers will be awesome when done proper i cant wait, and i have tons more ideas
my thing is make every mod/custom thing i do, OEM inspired, ike the upside down mirrors :wink:

and yes are completely functional!

wow just realized the mirrors…

any pics of the finished tail lights?

is that a good or bad thing lol?

not yet i need to take some but they turned out soo sweet! couldnt have been happier, after i did mine i did a friends EK tail lights, the difference is unreal!

maybe i missed it but why did u paint the fender blue instead of white?

bad thing lol…why not get the actual mirrors that look that way, the aftermarket ones, i cant remember the name/style of them, but i’m sure that’s what you were going after

you mean the ones anyone can buy and bolt on and not be different, and yeh thats what i was going for using OEM :wink:

this car was bought as my winter beater because my jeep got stolen in the summer so to make fun of the “winter beater” thing i painted my fender green, the next month gold, then the next month blue, and i left it, im getting the whole car re sprayed all white dont worry lol

lol well, you’re doing your thing, as far as your jeep getting stolen, be sure to put an alarm on yours

Damn son that thing is as low as it can go, I just don’t see how you get through some of those big ass speed-bumps as dumped as you are. Must be very frustrating but for the look I’m sure it’s all worth it for ya. As for the rest it’s sure coming alon nicely especially those wheels, are those advan, volks, or ssr wheels? cause they look very authentic and off the hook. I’m not to sure about the whole exhaust thing but like everyone else you probably already knew that so I won’t get in to that, but I think overall it looks like you’ve put some quite of work into this project.

I love how this car is coming out. Keep up the excellent work :up:
