OFFICIAL BigDare's Build-up Thread!!!
Rather than keep everyone in the cold I decided to include the SQUAD in my buildups!!! I am currently working on 3 projects at the same time. Project #1 is the Rex (like everyone already knows), project #2 is my fiancee's 4dr eg, and last is project #3 is a EF hatch(I'm about to show ya'll how to do one up
)
Project #1 CR-X SiR
I'm going to list the goals of the each car on it's own post.
The car
-fix my steering problem (replace rack and pinion, new wheel bearings and ball joints,...)
-repurchase a lip (since it was ripped off)
-purchase a carbon fiber hood
-refinish and install my SSR RS-8 rims
-upgrade my brakes (da knuckles and rear disc)
-repaint a few parts of my car
-wire tuck (chasebays ftw!!!)
-redo my suspension
-lastly, replace my block with a b20 block with apr rod bolts or build a high compression b16
hopefully I can be done with everything except the motor before the summer

Project #2 EG Ferio
There's the few things left for this car. I wasn't going all the way out since the wifey drives this (female drives ftl LOL) and it's an automatic.
The car
As of now it has:
-jdm headlights w/ city lights
-jdm corners
-SiR lip
-Oem foglights
-Ferio ganishes
-SiR wing (not installed yet)
-JDM rain visors
-JDM mud flaps
-exhaust
-ricer taillights (old mod from 2003)
-17in rims (old mod from 2003 also)
-it was repainted black last August
the only things left to do are
-replace the wheels with something smaller
-suspension work
-redo the exhaust with something more oem
-red and clear taillights
-install side markers
All of this will be done by the end of February!

Project #3 Civic EF3
If you don't know already, I got a hatch on the way. I purchased Uproot's mother car as a DD (since it's an automatic). I decided to shut the game down with a budget build (>$2000 including the price of the car).
The Car
pics coming soon!!!
right now I need to fix the following:
-replace the sunroof
-replace the interior (stolen sunroof ftl)
-it seems like the passenger wheel has been push back (luckly I have experience with that)
-since the motor is having problems I'm going to replace it with either a zc, d16a5 or another d15b, but what ever I do, it's going to get converted to mpfi
Just because I'm a jdm whore
-rear disc converion
-getting a zc hood
-replacing the bumpers with ef3 bumpers
-installing my mugen mr5s on it
-installing the suspension setup I currently have on the rex
-installing jdm side skirts
-installing 88-89 body molding
-paint the car and running a red strip on the molding

Yeah, I get bored, I spend money
motor only, cuz you know it's an auto and staying that way.yo darryl... lets work out a deal, with you buying my ZC...
here a old pic of my new rims (even tho they are used and I had them since august)
I dropped them off at metro wheels today to get fully restored (they were bent and one had a crack). For the priced I paid to get them restored I could of gotten two sets of rotas
Now, I got to decide on what size tire to run, 195/50/15 or 205/50/15. H-T recomends 195/50/15 for 96 and below civics, but I kind like how the 205 looks. well I got to decide within the next hour or so, so i can order my new tires. If everything goes well, they should be on the car by next weekend!!!
Also, I'm about to press in new wheel bearing and ball joints in my spare da knuckles. While I do that, I'm installing new apr extended studs with opened lugnuts So hopefully I can have new rims with new brake this week.
NICE cant wait to see the hatch
thanks kuniEF, i'm forward to doing it.
i knew it was a ef hatch
lol... i dont see that hatch staying auto or slow for too long... you'll kick that d-series out once you come across a good deal

Good luck, bud.

Dare, man. Dibs on rex hood if it hits the market, and also keep me up on that b16 since you're going 20.
If you're doing another rear disc, let me know...I know of a good set for a damn good price right now...
You're gonna come the same day as Jermaine, sometime, and there's gonna be three EF's on the lifts, one on the frame rack, and one on the floor. Mark's gonna come out and be like "WHAT THE F*CK!?!?"
JDMadness ==>EvasiveEF9
You already forgot? I'm going out of town this weekend. So next weekend is the earliest
I just got a call from metro wheels and my wheels are welded, straight, and polished now. I'm just waiting for paint now. So they should be done by friday! Also, my tire should be here today.
OH SNAP! EF's, EG's, and ZC's OH MY! thats sexy man! i heart it! lol lookin good as always
No no no...I'm saying one day all the EF's are gonna be up here. Full of EF's. A shop of them. Not this weekend, numbnuts...LoL

Update 1
I dropped up my tires off at Metro Wheels around 12pm today. He gave me a sneak peak of the wheels and they were bling'n (all except one). The one that needed weld was welded up, but just needed to be sanded down and polished. I will post pics up how they look before paint when I get home (around 5pm).
Update 2
I just got an email saying my red/clear taillights for the Ferio just arrived!!! Hopefully they are the correct ones this time because the last time I ordered a set they shipped me hb ones. Pics of those are coming when I get home also.
Here's the pics I promised
before (they are beat up but you cant tell)
Now (before paint)
when i saw them, I was like daaaaammnnnnn I should keep them unfinished, but I decided not too.
also here are a few more pics
The stickies
Yeah Bitsshhes, they are 195s. I put proper **** on my ride!!!
The rear disc conversion
Last the new taillights for the ferio
