I guess this is my build/intro thread (EM1)

[Zhu]

~UPDATE PAGE 2~
Hey guys, I've been on IA just lurking for the most part but I decided to break out of my shell and make a build thread.
So in the summer my car was stolen out of Kohl's parking lot when I lent the car to my mom (I was in China).
And so here's my rebuild...

I was so glad they left behind the motor...

I wondered why they left my left fender.

Interior was not a pretty sight.

[Zhu]

Oh, by the way, these were before shots.

Sorry EVO owners... I just loved your seats so much. If I'm disgracing your seats, then I'm sorry...

But later in the week I got new carpet and interios pieces, so it came back out.

[kcdrift]

i kinda want a SI now, lol

[bRiAnMcIvIcS]

I suggest you should buy aftermarket steering wheel, nrg hub, nrg quick release, and nrg hub lock. Then you wont have to worry about theft.

[Brian*]

Awesome project

[Zhu]

well the thing is.... they towed my car.. that's why I didn't have to replace any glass, except the wind shield.... which I think they cracked for fun....

[kcdrift]

THANKS BOOSTEDB16!!!!!!!!!! haha at first they flickered and I was about to cry over it, until I realized I should start the car (weak battery). Then problem was solved!

[Civictyper95]

nice hid's lol.. got the same thing on my car.....
car's looking better btw :goodjob:

[Zhu]

Thanks! I sold off the old bumper to a guy somewhere on the site, because I have no need for two bumpers.
(I wish I could just get it all one color lol!)

[integraboi88]

Keep up the good work, love them Evo Recardos.

[J-ROCK]

its coming along nicely man

[boostedb16]

yea, for some reason the car has to be running so the fogs dont flicker. if you ever turn them on and one goes off. turn the fog lights off and right back on and they will be fine. oh and its looking good.

[kcdrift]

Nice! the Si has new eyes!!
you sold the bumper already??? that was hella fast, lol

[Zhu]

OMFG ugh... I decided to figure out why my locks won't work only to find this.

I'm very sorry to hear that... it sucks when a car gets stolen... I don't know what I'd do if I never recovered my car...

btw If you weren't so far away I'd pick up that strut bar you have for sale, woulda been worth the trip if I could have gotten the paint matched fender too lol.
(Are you going to the Varsity meet? maybe we can work something out?)
*I saw some where on this site that you have a 99-00 hood? I dunno if it's true or not though.
