Which JDM conversion to do next?

[bigdare23]

Since I'm hooked on the JDM scene now, I'm trying to see which conversion should be my next project.

-I love my CRX (and will never get rid of it), but I'm getting kinda of bored with it since it's near the end of the SiR conversion (should be done by the new year).

-I like the Silvia conversion on the 240sx coupes, but that conversion is becoming a lil too common now. Plus, I know little about nissans besides the term sr20det lol.

-Another option is a 88-91 Civic hatch, but they are too similar to my REX which I'm trying to get away from.

-I'm in love with the DC conversion, but they are the most expensive conversion to do out of my choices (price of the car, plus frontend $1500-$1700 and gsr and type R swaps are high as hell)

-Levin conversion (AE86) is sexy as hell, but there really no info on the swap. Since I'm a Honda guy I know little about the 86's.

damn they all look good

[slow_hatch]

Hmmm......the 240 would be sweet, but is becoming more popular now. Which could be a good thing $$ wise.

The ae86 would also be sweet b/c you dont see to many of them. That and i might be alittle bias b/c i like old skool stuff.

If I were to own an integra it would have a jdm front for sure and they look damn good. Plus it is another honda/acura and would be easier to know stuff about it coming from another honda.

Just finish the CRX, then do eny meny miney moo :goodjob:

Man I wish!!! Mines isn't painted yet. I'm trying to wait until the x-mas to get it painted. It should look very similar to the "after" pic when I'm done.

{Damn after looking at it again, the only thing that's going to be different is the rims. I got the same lip, foglights, and mirrors}

[toonz]

LOL^^^^

[bigdare23]

what's funny?

[toonz]

I voted #1 but the 86's are cool 2 after im done with mine that was one of my choices but I have A long way to go before I think about another car LOL

[toonz]

Finish the CRX & then make it fast!!:lmfao:
he's saying your car is slow well :thinking: it is my bad LOL

[bigdare23]

I just wanna a change since I owned 3 CRX's so far. Dont get me wrong I love it like it's a it's Bimmer or something, but I just dont want it to be my dd anymore.

[toonz]

Same here that's why I wanna EK hatch but im going to finish the crx paint it and then sit up until next year because it's getting cold and im not trying to attend any meets for the rest of the year I gotta get back on my grind (NY here I come):D

[bigdare23]

Ok holla at HOV for your boy LOL

[toonz]

but if you insist the 86 would be a good thought

[bigdare23]

I got one on hold for me, more than likely im going to get it, but I just need to get rid of my shit on here.

[HeLLo iM iZzY]

Go with a DC :D

[Jecht]

Screw JDM, go euro.

[bigdare23]

Screw JDM, go euro.

they cost too must to keep up :(

[Jecht]

Not all of them do. Volkswagens aren't that bad cost wise, and some of the older BMWs aren't too bad either.

BTW, +1 for not killing me on the screw JDM thing.

Naw (thought about it, but didnt lol). I'm feeling the A4 1.8t now, but what's this I hear about replacing the turbo at 85-100k. Damn, hondas are not even broken it by then.

[Tommy_T]

to me i would go with the jdm itr conversion. most of these are becoming very common, but the one i rarely ever see or hear is the ae86 conversion. it is very sexy but im not sure if it is easy to find info on all of it. if you like old school go with that, but if you want more modern, go with the itr conversion, yes it is very expensive but if you look around hard enough, you will find a decent one for a good price.

[Jecht]

My dad's Beetle has that same 1.8T engine in it, and believe me, I would change the turbo to something that spools later anyways. It literally spools at 1300 RPM. Its a tiny little thing!

[Hektik]

86levin FTW

[toonz]

VW's hell no D don't do it man don't even go out like that LOL ae86 or the itr conversion

[SC430=sex]

i love that after pic of the red CRX.

[ranj]

man that is one hot rex, but i say do the levin, anyone would be a hot choice, but the silvia is done too much now, the other hondas are FF (you probably want to try out rwd), but the levin isn't done that much and its one hotass car, plus its pretty well balanced as well. your choice gl with w/e you do.

I remember that REX when it was on the main page. He gets mad props from me, the only problem I have with the car is he got the facelift frontend (EF headlights hood), but he is using the non-facelift replica mugen front bumper (it doesnt have the wrap-around bumper lens). Besides that it's pretty hot!!! :goodjob:

[LiL PaKi]

still deciding??

[JDMJAYDC2]

no glass top for your crx???? if i had a rex thats the first thing i would do i love that conversion on the rex's

[Slowboy]

Yes glass top is the hawtness. Dude I think we should just swap crx's you take mine i take yours, then you can do the jdm front end all over again. lol. but for reall, ae86 is hott. I would not mind doin the 240 one day.

do it man GLASS roof and all... Adams ride is fucking beautiful... you know he sold that car for like 10g ;)

[Jecht]

I'm sorry, but as nice as the glass top looks, it is just pointless to do.

[bigdare23]

still deciding??
Yeah, I'm still undecided:( on my next project, but the REX should be done pretty soon. :goodjob:

I dont really like the idea of chopping my top. I love my Rex alittle too much to chance fucking it up.

You really got to see this conversion in person, it will leave you speechless, but like I said not for me.

LOL, whenever you want to join the JDM Rex family, just holla at me (I got the hookup :goodjob: )

[jon360]

well hurry up and do something already

[bigdare23]

it's in the works as I type!

[LiL PaKi]

Fuck man it's pissing me off everyone is coming out with an JDM ITR conversion and now i'm getting mad.. I take away my vote for the JDM integra .. it's seriously pissing me off.. i use to be one of few.. and like the only one that came out to meets.. and now everyone and there mom has one... /rant /thread jack

[bdydrpdmazda]

I voted for the Honda Integra, my homie is doing it with his RSX and it looks fun, made me want to do it as well.

LOL, there there you will be okay!!! I used to be one of few CRX's with the SiR converstion then all of................................................ .. what am I talking about? There's still only a few around atlanta. LOL

[bigdare23]

RHD EG?

I'm already working on al EG

[neon_guy]

I voted for the 240/silvia thing. But that's cuz I been seeing all these Honda conversions for teh better part of the last decade. Still nice tho. I never got the glass roof thing. It's JDM and that's about it. To me, it's like having an ITR coin tray and Mugen bottle warmers (aka wrist bands). Pointless but JDM.

I'd like to see more G35/Skyline conversions. I only know of 2 (1 in person and one floating around www). That's what I'm looking to do next.
