it looks like he muffler is pointing down :/

SHG_EasyE

that would be cool man! My parts came in from hollan this week bu they still need to assemble and dyno the shocks then ship them. Then the car also needs an alignment before I can drive it any kind of distance. Shoot me a text when you know if you're coming. Remember I'm 3 hours north of the BBQ location so it's pretty far out of the way.

Nope it's pointing up and out slightly. No way I would leave an exhaust pointing downwards comon now

Updates and progress are gonna start rolling in heavy this week... Im aiming to have the car on the road in time for our annual summer SHG BBQ!

Not much tonight, I dont have the right size allen at home to tighten the caliper bracket bolts so I have to bring one home from work tomorrow to install the brakes. But I did get the back spacers and brackets back from the machine shop on friday

This will move the caliper/rotor out 4mm to gain clearance between the rotor and control arm.

I also picked up some new cabin filters from honda...



NASTY

These bad boys have been on national backorder for months... Koni spring seat adapters to run a 2.5" spring on a 2.25" collar. Apparently they are discontinued for some reason and no one else makes them. To machine a pair from scratch would have cost way too much. The originals on the rear shocks were a rubbery plastic and were cracked and shot.

SHG_Claudio

Neat update. Where does the filter go in the dash? EGs had this cabin filtration system too but to source something like that would be very hard. Hope you can get it ready for SHG, driving along with everyone else is always a lot of fun.

SHG_Mike

open the glove box and then un-hinge it and its right there . At least on new cars not sure about the eg

SHG_Claudio

Oh. This what what ours look like, but we don't have them stock, some trim around the world has it but not the USDM.

Damn that would be pretty sick to get that! Its such a nice addition to the interior, to not be breathing in all that pollen and crap....

What I did with my EG was zip tie some plush filter material from an air conditioning filter under the screen in the opening that takes air from the cowl

Im really, really hoping the car will be ready... If they do ship out today like they said they would theres a very good chance the shocks will be here in time

SlightlyLifted

Perfection seems to be all you know. I love it!!!

markspan6243

good

SHG_EasyE

Got the brakes back on tonight Plenty of clearance now!

And a pic of the new garage, I dont think I ever posted one of the new place

Your build is awesome man! I've always been a fan of ep3's. I'm glad you're doing a proper build on it. Just out of curiosity, what kind of camera and wide-angle lens are you using?

SHG_EasyE

Camera is a panasonic FZ7 from 2006ish, and the fisheye lens is a $60 job off ebay.

HatchVX

There is a write up on how to use a crv blower box to have a pollen filter.

Those brakes looks awesome. Great job man. Really love this build. I usally don't like EP3's but your is right on point.

Good sh*t man! great work as usual.

SHG_EasyE

Ah damn that's pretty cool. I wish that info was around back when I had my EG... And thanks, there definitely not many EPs built to this level, at least here in te states

johnnykash

nice nice, looks like a solid build.

talontsiawd

I really don't post here much but have been a member forever. Your builds are always inspiring. I started reading through this about a month ago and it is definitely making me tie up loose ends on my car. I loved your last build this one is shaping up to be better. I love how your cars are not over the top crazy but are just a great combination of high end parts and very thorough planning (and some cool fab work as well).

WhiteSlips

I don't really like your builds. Your builds make me feel as if my car knowledge is inferior and that I need to start collecting tools to build a machine shop in my garage.

SHG_EasyE

Thanks dude, much appreciated. Other than the satisfaction of building a car with my own hands, and making my vision a reality, the fact that it inspires others is huge motivation to keep producing and sharing it with you guys I like to think that I change a small % of the Honda community for the better when it comes to how people tackle the projects on their cars!

Haha, well being in the racing business now has had a huge affect on me, as you can probably see in little influences in this car over the EG. Connections help too, but anyone can do what Im doing. I dont have use of a machine shop, or even a TIG welder. All that has to be outsourced. Hopefully we will be getting a TIG at the shop in the next month or so, and then watch out

MissShift

Really loving the brake setup

BTW just something for everyone that I've been working on...

First Episode is up and various other videos on the track. I also bought myself a new Canon t3i for better quality videos compared to that of the first episode.

SHG_EasyE

Was up until 3AM working on the car getting it ready to make the trip to NY for our annual summer SHG BBQ!

First off, Im really excited about this piece... Sorry I didnt get pictures of the rest of the parts fabbed but I had the custom battery tray all welded up yesterday... Trick!!!

Had to polish it up a bit to get rid of the cleaning marks from the TIG...

Heres a great opportunity to see how a Riv-nut actually works... Its like a rivet, so you insert the nut, then basically a rivet gun with a treaded rod threads into the nut, you squeeze, and it crushes the nut sandwiching it onto the metal.

New 316 stainless allen hardware

I also decided to finally clean up my breather and evap lines and do it they way Ive been wanting to for some time now.

I ordered a new external breather check valve from a 92-95 civic (stock ep3 check valve is molded into the oem hose) and put that on the end of a 90 deg hose section...





.

.

Then ran hose up the the intake mani but this time ran in under the airbox instead of over like before.

Then finished up the bay and installed the tray and RSB25

SHG_Claudio

Very clean, battery stay looks right at home too.

Whats that your drinking there? Every update its there as an easter egg haha.

SHG_EasyE

Haha its some Mayflower Pale Ale

SHG_EasyE

Finished putting the car together last night and this morning then brought it to the shop to change some fluids and do an alignment. Unfortunately I wasnt able to get the new rear shocks in time for the BBQ so Im on stock rear shocks with cut springs right now lol. The new rear shocks should be ready to go in some time next week.

No scales this time, Ill cross weigh it when the rear coilovers are in...
