Last day as an automatic transmission... gave her a good clean up



Rear disc conversion done

Stage one cam installed

UEL header added

Gutted the catalytic converter

Yonaka exhaust system put in

Front sway bar removed and swapped for a base RSX rear sway bar.

Electric Power Steering (EPS) and 5-lug swap are in progress

Building up a K24a engine

The person who posted this, your build looks super clean, nice work. :+1:

@Oak
Great build, the coilovers will really change the game, you’re gonna love it once they’re on.

Already got them installed, I’m running on Teins.

Didn’t notice! You might wanna drop it about an inch more, I think it’ll look even better that way.

@Quincy
Thinking about doing a bigger wheel setup soon, so I’ll hold off for now. Appreciate the suggestion though

@Quincy
And that’s why your bumper is held on with zip ties

@Oak
Why’d you remove the sway bars? Thought that was more of an off-road thing. Nice build though

It’s more about shifting the balance of the car. Removing the front sway bar softens the front end and stiffening the rear sway bar helps with weight transfer. It can reduce understeer or even cause a bit of oversteer.

Makes cornering super fun, I can throw it sideways now.

This was my first build too, learned a lot from working on it.

Built not bought :white_check_mark:

Looking really good, especially with the dark tint. Super clean.

Wish I could find a clean EM2 around here. Everything’s high mileage, overpriced, and rusted out in my area. I just need a beater so I can work on my TSX wagon.

That’s rough. Where I live, there are like 2 EM2s, 3 ES, and an EP3. They’re still kicking.

She’s transitioning? What transmission are you putting in?
