Last Updated: 9/20/2019


Kept this under wraps for a while now, boost time for project EP!

New build!



Got some Mishimoto slim fans since the bigger radiator made the stock fans hit one of the A/C lines. Also removed the EGR valve with a block off plate. For the interior we put some JDM door sills and OEM fog switch! Don't even have the fogs yet!

New build!



Found a JTC short shifter in one of our cars and what a difference! Shortened the height by about 2 inches and gives a shorter throw.

New build!



Finally put that purple valve cover on. Finished it off with one of our custom spark plug covers!

New build!



Ap1 s2000 steering wheel. Smaller diameter with thicker wheel for grip. One of our favorite mods for sure.

New build!



Vibrant StreetPower muffler is on and mannnnnn does it sound better than the straight through cannon that was on there ^_^

New build!

New build!



Spoon strut bar!! =O

New build!



Had to cut the intake pipe a little but then it fit perfect.

New build!



Old ebay filter vs the new 7.5" AEM Dryflow filter with BLOX velocity stack.

New build!



After breaking it in.

New build!



On!

New build!



Old vs new.

New build!



Deuces!

New build!



The small old header...

New build!



Exhaust day is finally here! Ditching the restrictive converter and ebay exhaust system from the previous owner. Going with a Vibrant header, test pipe, 2.5" piping and a Vibrant StreetPower muffler.

New build!



The bay after coils and re-installing the complete A/C system.

New build!



Powder coated A/C compressor bracket lol

New build!



Completely re-installing the A/C system and painting some of the lines flat black to hide them a little.

New build!



Changing a bunch of oil seals, vtec solenoid, distributor, oil cooler, etc.

New build!



Got one of our OEM lip kits installed, put the 17" Gram Lights back on (with spacers this time) and here she sits!!! Finally got it looking clean.

New build!



Found a JDM gunmetal grill so couldn't resist :)

New build!



New window moldings since these things ALWAYS crack.

New build!



Good as new!

New build!



Installing some DEPO black housings worked wonders.

New build!



The headlights were pretty rough, broken tabs too.

New build!



Here is the before and after of the front end (new hood, fenders, bumper).

New build!



Wired up the fender side markers.

New build!

New build!



The faded carbon fiber hood, fenders and bumper on this car were all in rough shape so we installed a full JDM front clip to replace all of that. New bumper beam is on and also replaced the broken windshield wiper cowl.

New build!



Painted the bumper beam and some stock side skirts real quick (temporary).

New build!



The old bumper beam was bent so we had to replace it before doing anything else.

New build!



Now she's too low Sam!! Lol, thanks for the helping hand bro!

New build!



D2 coils!

New build!



Thanks to our buddy Anthony Sikorski for the fresh purp powder coat, gonna set the bay off bruh!! Good looking out!

New build!



Done! Drives like a whole different car ^_^

New build!



Finally sourced a JDM Type-S shift boot with the double stitch, may get it re-stitched in red later.

New build!



For some reason this car had an Accord shifter or something (left). Way too tall and not even the right angle. Shifting was terrible. Swapping in a true BB6 shifter (right).

New build!



Time to fix this shifter situation.

New build!



Few new minor details. Next up, new header!

New build!



Picked up some Downstar hardware to begin the engine bay color change. Strut tower nuts with purple beauty washers, vtec solenoid cover and a Mishimoto intake coupler.

New build!



Got the new seats in!

New build!



Time to switch up the interior, going from s2000 seats to JDM type-s leather seats and got the shift knob to match!

New build!



Fixed the trunk leak (taillight gaskets like always), added the tanabe rear strut bar, led light and that's about all we need (or don't need) in the trunk!

New build!



Today we gave the beast a basic tune up, NGK platinum spark plugs, NGK spark plug wires and YEC distributor cap/rotor. We also tucked the distributor wires, brake booster hose and deleted the breather line.

New build!



The previous owner opted to delete the passenger side airbag to tuck the fuse box. We decided to cut a hole in the glove box and place it there instead.

New build!

New build!



Might not look like much but this Skunk2 oil cap is the only part left from my first Prelude to remember it by. Only fitting that it's the first of many pieces added to the new one.

New build!



This new car is already loaded with a JDM H22A, Innovative Mounts, Innovative traction bar, Tein Coilovers, tucked and shaved bay, 17" Gram Light wheels, s2000 seats, Seibon carbon fiber trunk, etc!

Even still, we have much more work to do on it.


New build!



At this point, the red Prelude we started working on had too many issues to continue. Major rust, the prior wreck was worse than we thought, etc.

So we found a much better platform to start building from one of our Instagram followers! Introducing our new build (for real this time)!


New build!

Wanted to throw up an interior before pic! We pulled the interior to find a leak before the new cleaner interior goes in.

Interior before picture



Few more new parts, Vibrant Streetpower flat black muffler, BLOX thermal shield intake manifold gasket, Exedy clutch master cylinder, OEM valve cover gasket and YEC distributor cap/rotor.

Got the perfect seats!! A pair of mint JDM Type-S leather seats with suede inserts and red stitching.

Vibrant plugs for the egr ports came in.

Now to get the bay ready for paint. All rusty components/parts were swapped with non rusty ones.

Got the motor out! This one is toast so we are planning on going with another H22a4 or a JDM H23A.

But before that we've got to strip the bay completely in order to paint it. Going all black!
