Operation-greatest son ever!!

[JDMJAYDC2]

ill be using this as a build thread for this project i have for my mom for xmas. Its my first stab at a ej so im a complete noob to these cars if you can throw any advice help my way ill gladly take it. She is going to be so shocked i really cant wait to give it to her. Its getting hard cause she keeps trying to get me to go look at used cars(she has wanted a used car for like 4 months now) i just keep making excuses or telling her she doesnt need one:D

[JDMJAYDC2]

well i got this car for my mom for xmas this year its going to be a tough journey getting it ready for her. she currently drives a vw super beetle and it has heat but it doesnt get hot.
dont get me wrong she loves the car. i just hate that she didnt have anything with ac.
so i found this starting point for her

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06070.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06069.jpg

they must be swapped out asap!! just like the rear the housings are melted near the bulbs

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06074.jpg

[Brown Man]

:goodjob:

[lanning]

reps for bein a good dude

[Da_unknown]

dam u really have ur work cut out for u, but keep it up

[Kamikaze]

Good luck. :goodjob:

[tinkolby_25]

The heat does'nt work because the hose that is suppose to let coolant into the heater core is looped right back to the thermostat housing. I bet the heater core in the car is bad.

[WalkS]

That's pretty cool that you are fixing up a car for your mom! Hell my mom says, "If and when you become successful, I want a 350z...". Lol! One day I tell her! But good luck and props to ya!

[Revmaynard]

Please tell me you didn't spend much on this car! lol

[MachNU]

dam man good shit! cant wait to see it when its finish! your mom's going to be stoked!

[JDMJAYDC2]

no josh i didnt spend much but i wanted something that i could put together for her kinda makes it more special for me and her rather than me just buying something perfect.

as for the heat not working yeah i knew that it wasnt hooked up but it wasnt something i could fix before i left the guys house when i bought the car. the motor runs and im happy with it ill swap it out once it dies for a jdm d15b

[toxxxic]

looks like a wiring NIGHTMARE!

i hate that people do this to cars :(

Good luck with it! And good for you, doing something nice for your mommy :)

[Dev]

good luck man! you have already made a big difference in the car by fixing the little things! just remember the little things count!

[Crazy Asian]

no josh i didnt spend much but i wanted something that i could put together for her kinda makes it more special for me and her rather than me just buying something perfect.

as for the heat not working yeah i knew that it wasnt hooked up but it wasnt something i could fix before i left the guys house when i bought the car. the motor runs and im happy with it ill swap it out once it dies for a jdm d15b

is it auto or manual.

[Grimm Reeper]

wow Jay that's actually more of a turd than my car lol True Story... I guess I really never had a good look at it because everytime I see it, it's way too dark to get a good look at it lol but let me know if and when you need some more help :goodjob:

[Grimm Reeper]

is it auto or manual.

manual :D

[cactusEG]

Cant wait to see this finished !

[Mmmm_Bacon]

jay i have a heater core i had bought for my ek hatch, not sure if it will work, but if the one in the car is bad you are more than welcome to have it, OEM honda BNIB

[marcos713]

wowo i wana c how this turns out! this car needs some TLC! goodluck with the project man

[AeeCeeCard]

oh man, that wiring looks like it needs some advil.
but Good luck! Its an awesome idea fixing it up for your mom.

[JDMJAYDC2]

i have no clue why somebody would screw with the wiring!! the headlights are even worse i have all new headlight clips from pull a part lets just hope once i get some oem headlights they go ahead and work properly. all of the fuses were pulled so there is no telling if the windows work

beau thanks alot man ill def grab that from you i know you know way more about these cars than i do!!

[ash7]

Jay, let me know if you need any random parts for this and I'll dig through my stash of stuff from my past three "EGs" for you.

It's admirable what you're doing here. :goodjob: keep it up.
-jonathan

[Ol' Gregg]

shiiiittt thats one of the most fucked up cars I have seen in a while

[quickdodge®]

[dirk-diggler]

looks like a death trap good luck

[Mantooth]

Good luck, man. I gave my mom a car for Christmas 2 years ago and she about fainted when she looked out in the front yard. We put a big red bow on it and everything.

You're a stand-up dude for doing this. Reps coming your way, bro.

[Sol-Badguy]

Awesome thing you're doing.

Good luck with it!

[secondgencamaro]

I've got some gray Integra seats for the front that were in pretty good shape when I put them in storage, but the dogs got into the shed so I'll have to see if those were the set they tore up. If they're good, I'll get you a good price on them or I'll see what SilverSol's got when I see him next.

Reps.

[DeeAOne]

cool project with a meaning. thats awesome. hope you get it done in time.

[MidLifeCrisis]

good job man! where is this pull-a-part at? Next time you go could you check around and see if you spot any caprice/impalas out there? +reps

[collins]

i can dig it! i'm sure your mom will really appreciate all the hard work you're putting into this for her. :goodjob:

[DUBSf22c]

. how much did you pay for this hunk of FUCKED up honda.. How do you fuck up a perfectly simple car..

[BABY J]

That's it. I want a son. Who wants me to knock them up real quick?


He might as well go ahead and call Maintsteam then! lolol

I just happen to have lots of EG parts due to selling my black EG hatch and scoring parts for the captiva blue Si I grabbed from Arizona. ASS. lol



To the OP: man that's a lot of work to get done b4 xmas. I've put shit together fast but WOW. GL w/ that --- awesome idea.

[DustnU]

Good luck getting it done bro, sound like your a real cool guy. I'm sure ur mom is gonna be ecstatic when she sees it. + repps for sure

[PURP]

you got muh number, son... Call me if you have any questions or if you need any help

[TicketRedBB6]

Damn that's a great idea for a Christmas gift, especially for your mom. Good luck on finishing and keeping her from getting something before you're done

[SOHC1]

man look at the sprite bottle using it as a reservoir lol
good luck with the project bro.

[LIKEG6]

Hey good luck dude. I just got rid of my tan eg seats I had. If I woulda known I woulda have brought em up to ya.

Good luck with it dude. Got any more progress pics?

OT: we might have a group coming up from here for the next V meet. Depends on how cold it is.

[JDMJAYDC2]

first thing i want to say is thank you so much ia! lol id never think id ever type that lol ive gotten lots of pm's with ppl willing to give me stuff to help out and or there time i really appreciate this you have no idea what this is going to do to my mom i plan to make a youtube video on xmas when i give her the car to show everyone the reaction with that said down to business




small update no pics yet tho this weekend was too rainy i managed to get a lil more work done in the engine bay as far as checking for broken hoses making sure the fans cut on etc. today after work i should have some more shots for you guys im meeting up with ej1soslo and busdriver j again to try and get some work done on the car i drove it around 285 last night and the car did great! this is what im happy of the most im dumping alot of cash into this thing in a short amount of time and going back to oem is more expensive then modding this damn thing!

Purp- i know you know these cars inside and out you know im calling soon lol

as far as what i need if anyone has anything i need
1.a good carpet and trunk carpet
2. oem or ebay amber corner lights
3. a set of ex doors as you can see mine are need of help and i dont have time to work it out.
4. i need new side panels inside the car and the A frame shape near the rear corner windows one is there the other is missing
5. some help from ppl that know this car lol pm me for my number if you have any spare time



ok now stuff im giving away

aka free99 stuff

the extra battery thats in the trunk as well as the cables used to hook it up this would be great for you guys that want to run a battery in the trunk

2. would be the ricer headlights and tailights the tails area lil hazy and they leak but if this car is like my integra then all you need is new gaskets and you should be set.

3. b&n short shifter i was told by the seller thats what this car has the throw is super short but def too racey for my mom who just wants to go to work and back

4. full catback as seen in the pics on page 1 i have a oem replacement well most of it i will trade this for a full oem replacement minus axleback which i have already(i should have this off by tues or wed if weather permits) it looks rice but sounds really good id say its close to a greddy sp or a apxi N1 by sound its a full catback tho larger piping all the way through.

5. the car came with 4 door panels all for a coupe i have no idea why but they are all grey and i want to keep the car black if i can so these are free to anyone

[MidLifeCrisis]

Hmmm, i have a full EG hatch catback, but the mid-pipe may be the same. its like brand new. Only bad part is, i'm in macon.

[thepolecat]

thats really nice og you but that car is a hot mess. Good luck though- pm me a list of items you need- maybe i can scrounge some stuff up for you for that thing.

[BABY J]

Hey J remem to not get sidetracked on lesser evils. WRITE DOWN the "most wanted" list and get the high interest items done or you will be spinning your wheels on little things and the car won't feel or look like you've gotten much done. Also --- if you accept that you can always ADD TO IT later you can do additions in her garage over the next month or two. Grab a buddy and that nice * cough * Craftsman box and do things at her house w/ her running sandwiches and juice out to you to make it a "family" event. Just tell her that you plan on doing more upgrades - she will like that and that makes it an ongoing project.

If this was my project:

1) PAINT!!!! doors / molding / lighting (and anything that will be needed before paint). I say this bc this will take the longest and eat the most of your time (car being at the paint shop prevents u from making any other smaller changes. This also affords you time to get odds and ends pieces shipped/delivered/picked up.

2) Then work on the reliability. Oil change. Plugs, wires. Coolant flush and tranny flush. (looking at the car tells me that you can't trust what they have in the engine, tranny, and radiator right now). Compression check. Then head up to get the bay steam cleaned (if u need a place that does it then let me know).

3) The rest is gravy and can be done over time. And since she lives in Fayette, security (you know the rules - this will be much diff than driving her VW around). And the sentimental value of this one means you want it to be in your family until YOU decide otherwise... not some fuckhead who doesn't understand the value of hard work. I got nothing but free time til 04 Jan so hit me up if you need an assist.

LATER TURDS

[BABY J]

Oh yeah - hell I'd probably build my mom a car as well if I got my ass handed to me by her at the bowling alley. :ninja:

[imperception]

good luck with your build man, seem to be making the right decisions so far....helluva thing to do for your mom :goodjob:

[Okie_doke.]

I wish I could do some shit like this for my mom, but I know nothing about these cars :ninja: but you are a good guy fa sho. Tell Tony to scoop that short shifter for me :)

[JDMJAYDC2]

UPDATE!!!!!

more pms!!! damn i had no idea this thing would have legs like this but it is ok so im getting a full ex int. all black with power windows and all and its black like the car so thats a plus!!

ej1soslo just dropped off some parts for the ac system im still missing a few lines and such i think i will post pics of these tomorrow as its way too dark out tonite to snap some pics of it.

so my NEED list is as follows now

oem corner lights and a coolant overflow bottle i saw one in a thread somewhere so i should have that covered before the end of the week

the plan was to get the car off to paint next week but im unsure if it would be done and ready for pickup b4 xmas

if all goes as planned this sunday in columbus i may have this thing ready to drop off at sprayglo in duluth for a new coat of black

[Brian*]

God, that poor Honda!! Bring it back to life!

Oh, and use WD40 on the engine bay, let it sit for about 5 min then wipe, a lot!!

[BABY J]

DO NOT use wd40. It's flammable and eats wire insulation. Use Greased Lighting, or Gunk Gel...

orr get it steam cleaned : http://www.realpages.com/sites/ridinclean/

[1MP0RTL0V3R]

g/l with the project it looks like it needs work but with all the people helping seems like it will be done and looking great for your mom

[Jason..]

Save yourself a ton of time and make sure to replace all the o-rings on those lines. Did you get the bolts for the compressor too?

[sprix!]

Nice idea and thread, but I find it kind of odd that you have christened yourself the best son ever instead of your mom calling you that. Seems kind of disingenuous, don't you think?

[BABY J]

I think he's an ONLY son --- so he has to be the best. That also kinda makes him the worst as well. Anything son related is all him. :)

[sprix!]

Forgive my negative post. Please disregard, as it was filled with much haterade.
Do your thing! That is an awesome thing you are doing.

[chorne1787]

cool idea

[DustnU]

Sounds like it's coming along good bro, good luck.

[JDMJAYDC2]

Up at 4 am waiting on my ride..... Big pic update today guys

this guy is the shit!!! he worked until 12 last night didnt get to bed until 2am and still showed up at my door almost a hour away at 5am to ride with me 4 hours to help me out. A true fucking friend for sure considering we only met in person twice and ive known him a month or a month and a half tops.....

well we hit the road blazing as he has to be at work at 5pm today btw he just dropped me off like 20 mins ago so basically he is working on literally no sleep.

it was dark the whole way there untiil about 40 mins away so there are no pics of the way up.

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06111.jpg

99jdmls had to work so he was cool enough to let me start stripping his shell down while he was at work so with the help of six7teen and the great ash7 we got started

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06112.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06118.jpg

super long day and at this point we replaced the doors,headlights corners and trunk also ash7 hooked up the heat and fixed my headlight issue!!
at this point i was on my own and my slight cold has turned into a full on cold im feeling really weak at this point good thing my aunt alice let me use her garage to work on the car.

woke up early and kissed my aunt as she left for work raked the leaves up and took the trash out and got to work on the axleback i bought

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06129.jpg

went and got some painters tape and taped off the tip and some bbq stove paint to paint the axelback it came out great i love it !!!

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06131.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06132.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06133.jpg

did 3 light coats and this thing really came out well i was very impressed

now i bring you to my hell haha nah really i had fun working on this car i really took pride in doing it took the seats out and got ready to clean this fithly thing out..
http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06134.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06135.jpg

this took all of the day plus i was really feeling like crap at this point luckily my aunt alice had lots of oranges so i was eating them like candy..

spent the next day sleeping all day this was probably the worst day of my cold....

wed.
felt alittle better!! had to move some boxes in the house for my aunt and did somemore yard work for her and got started on the car

i let the axelback dry overnight and gave it another coat and this was the final result
http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06145.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06144.jpg

i was shocked how great it came out!!

onto the new carpet i got from the donor car.

went out and bought some carpet cleaner and gave it a good scrub for about a hour and half..good thing i had my ipod with me

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06143.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06142.jpg

at this point i took a sec to look at the new doors we installed as well as how the car sits at that point.

[JDMJAYDC2]

as i got started breaking the rest of my car down i let the new carpet dry
http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06146.jpg

as well as the center console and shift boot they were covered in grime and sticky old jelly ugh!!! washed them up and let them dry

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06149.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06151.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06153.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06159.jpg

me cleaning the bare floor there was so much crap under the old carpet

good thing i took the cig lighter harness from the donor car so i just spliced it into the hacked harness that is in this car
http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06160.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06158.jpg

basically the whole harness that goes to the fuel filter in the rear of the car was cut and broken so this is where the donor cars harness came in handy!! i replaced all of th wires i saw that were broken or frayed... and made new zip tie locations for them

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06161.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06162.jpg

as you can imagine this took the whole day i hate wiring plus the wiring harness for the new power windows was giving me a headache so my aunt alice came in the garage and told me to call it quits for the day...

Thursday morning eeekkk!!!!!
with my sickness and me feeling weak i was scrambling for time!!! got to work early i have to have this done by today!!!

took me a while to figure out how things went back into the car because honda makes thing snap onto one another to keep it flush so i started with the newly cleaned carpet

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06169.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06163.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06164.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06167.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06170.jpg

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06173.jpg

whew!!! done at this point its @ 8pm its dark and raining so before i threw away the old carpet i took a long look at all of the hard work i had done for the week and all of trash and old harness that was in the car

http://i213.photobucket.com/albums/cc146/JDMJAYDC2/project%20xmas/DSC06175.jpg
