April 28, 200718 yr Well since my thread over in the Retrofitting forum doesn't get as much traffic as the older gen forum, I decided to share some pics I got today of my coupe. '87 GL EA82 SPFI coupe. Was FWD 3AT, now FT4WD d/r 5-speed, locking center diff, full 5-lug conversion and lowered with Impreza coilovers. Flame on!
April 28, 200718 yr Author Boy, talk about plain jane:rolleyes: Shhh...:-p I got all black bumpers from my RX to put onto it, got my checkerboard seats and black center console in it with all of my stereo stuff, and I'll be gettin onto finishing my bodykit for it here and get it installed;) Plain is right, make its more of a sleeper:banana:
April 28, 200718 yr You need to get rid of the fat lip on the front and put on an 86 pre-5mph bumper on it. They look way better without the extra shelf sticking out. The '86 bumpers are flush with the turn signal lenses, so all the bumper that sticks out beyond the lenses is extra. And I won't comment on the fart can.... Looks good otherwise. Could you get any action shots?
April 28, 200718 yr Author I will.... WTF??? When thats the only exhaust I have, thats what I'm gonna run. That and it sounds nice and boxerish as well, no Honda farting here:grin:
April 28, 200718 yr Look really good, nice job. But I can't see the wheels. And that "can" really does sound good on there. Gives that boxer some lub lub lub lub lub lub...

If he does that, where will he eat his picnic lunch? the bumper makes a seat AND a table
April 28, 200718 yr the Fat Lip can take more of a hit than the flimsy 85/86 bumpers. Those things are worthless.
April 29, 200718 yr Author So today I was debadging the rear hatch and low and behold, the whole car has been repainted and not very good I might add. Ugh, guess I'll have to shoot it when I get to Washington and find me a paintbooth I can use for a half a day...
April 29, 200718 yr Author ugly wheels should look good with new paint 15" steelies + brand new Fuzion 195/60R15 tires = $188 I had the wheels when I did my 5-lug swap and they were free. I just put new tires on them and called it good until I get some nice LGT 17's but thats a little ways down the road. These will work until I move and then some. Beggers can't be choosers:rolleyes:

April 29, 200718 yr looks good! get some rally mud flaps on it and tint the windows, then she'll be stylin.....
April 29, 200718 yr Looks funkalicious! whatever that means.... To me it's pretty cool and shouldn't get ripped off.:-p Cheapy hubcaps will spice it up enough for now.I know what you mean about the can.They do sound better on the flat four than Hondogs. You want one of those rear wingy/spoiler things?I've got a very decent one.If you get my wheels from Mudrat and ship them (I'll cover shipping even though John should) I'll send you the "killer tail",just cover that shipping.It's black,JSYK.Came off a '90 RS

I prefer the black steels to cheapo Wal-Mart hubcaps because it looks cleaner and there's nothing to take away from the car as a whole. I'm not going for flashy at this point in time but it will have some nice rims on it eventually, probably after the EJ20G swap. Jeff, thanks but I'm stickin with the less then $200 for my wheels right now. I'm moving remember? I'm tryin to save as much money as I can currently so I got some to live off of until I can get a job in Washington.
April 30, 200718 yr Its looking great...cant wait to see it after its painted +10,000,000,000 Obsidian Black FTW!!!!
May 2, 200718 yr Hey Russ you need to get some of those wheel covers that they sell at Auto Zone, you know the ones that you can put on your 15s to make it look like you have 17s Would go nicely with the fart can :-P

May 2, 200718 yr Author The spinny spin type hubcaps are kinda funny too.I have seen a couple fly off on the highway! Har har har, funny guys... I got my roofrack installed and I'm still working on getting my interior finished with all my new speakers I bought. I also got my awesome checkerboard seats in it as well, hehehe. I noticed the other day I was having an issue with my shift linkage being sloppy. Looked at my FSM and low and behold, the rear mount that has a rubber piece in it like an engine mount, had busted off before I installed them and I never noticed it. Now I know why my shift linkage is all funny. Gotta find me an replacement bracket:rolleyes:
