More info/pics on your exhaust. Clean DA!!!
x2 on all of the above comments…this is done so well…what’s your suspension setup
x2 on being a sucker for white DA’s. I miss my old one. What is your suspension at and what size tire are you using on the si’s?
Very Nice!
looks good… hows the seat fitment?
said it on HT but ill say it again…NICE WORK!!!
I like how those seats came out. paint looks good too but you should of fixed that front core support first.
yes the core support and actual number is pushed in on the drives side a lil so the alignment of were the hood meets the bumper is a lil off. I’m going to be replacing the bumper, driver fender, and core support in a month or so. considering the bond of the car before it was in my possession lol it looks good i think. as for the suspension, its sport coil overs, front camber plates, notched frame, but not super slammed, blackworks rear lca’s, rear camber kit, beaks rear tie bar, password jam rear strut ‘x’ and trunk brace, floor brace. all urethane bushings as well. as for the prelude si seats, 3 seat mounts/hole line up. on(i can’t remember what one) but one of the two rear mounts i believe was angled when it needed to be flat and longer. so i cut and re-welded my section off of my integer seat frame. it was easy. u can bolt them in with 3 bolts but the seat isn’t stable. and you could re drill a new hole and fasten it down but i had a welder handy so i got crafty. as for the tire setup on my si wheels(which are up for trade for hopefully gar blades) the tires are hankook ventus 205/50/15. the car won’t hold a 205/55 anymore. so the 205/50’s are necessary. the exhaust setup sucks actually. it is a greddy evo2 i believe. it has the stock exhaust mani to just straight pipe to the greddy. I’m buying a new header, or building one, and going to run just a resonator and an apex noir muffler. keep it low-key, clean, and loud when i get into the 8k rpm range !
alot of us ask about that exhaust because its not everyday on a DA you see a axleback coming out w/ the canister like that out the rear
yea previous owner had modded the exhaust. it looks like they cut a greddy evo2 and modded it to were the exhuast would be routed. its coming off tho
another picture!
new steering wheel!
not a fan of the steering wheels…but all else wins
