Don't normally post on here but:

I got my car from a previous member while he was putting it back to stock...there were a few things wrong with it but for the most part it was a good deal. Anyways I'm just posting some pictures showing the progress from when I got it (not running) to now. Far from done...I'd say I'm about 65% of the way there. Then its on to another project.

Flatbedding it from the previous owners house:



The flatbed driver was a champ.....figured out how to get the car in to the garage (My driveway is on an decline and I had no clue how long it was going to take to get it running and didn't want it sitting on the driveway until I did)







He had EVO VIII interior (got scammed out his SSL Leather form an evom member trying to get MR interior)

Bought some Rota grids from wheeldude...thinking about getting some DPT's in gold next year:









I sold the EVO VIII seats and got some EVO MR seats from a dude in NJ and the rears from bomjoon (first time I met Joey):

Courtesy of projecttunning my current dyno plot:

Matt was awesome. I went to see him in AL. I left before we could finish but he finished up through email. Great experiece and I would recommend him to anyone. I will be going back to him when I get my upgraded IC, turbo and manifold.

Current way the car sits after installing some Rexpeed bits:








Put Mitsubishi decals on the wheels. Looks department is almost done. I have a Rexpeed Type3 spoiler on order, debating on getting a carbon fiber hood and aside getting some Rota DPT's and possibly switching the interior to all Bride the only thing left is an upgraded IC (either ETS or CBRD), upgraded turbo (CBRD Full/XL, FP Red/ HTA Green/Black....clearly I haven't made my mind up yet), exhaust manifold (Shearer or JMFab) and possibly a ported throttlebody and intake manifold. I have goal in mind powerwise and if I can reach it with just turbo, IC and manifold then I'm good.

Next will be another Civic project. LOL. Enjoy the pics guys. I know most won't care but I've come along way for only owning the car for 6 months.

its a fairly new car, why doesnt it run? Is it just because it was being put back to stock so some parts are still missing or did it get blown up?

At the time he built a monster and I was going to buy it in the configuration it was in but he started putting it back to stock. He worked for a performance shop so I took as an opportunity to get some stuff done at the time. He put the car back together and couldn't figure how to start the car. He had a HKS FCon before and thought that might've fried his ECU. With the help of a evoatlanta member figured out it was a incorrect immobilizer (thank god it was an easy fix). It was missing a MAF....I had ot go to battleground to go get one.
