My EGP Build Thread

[ssmith]

After a long 2 month wait she's finally in my driveway. This is the first 21st century honda for me. I got it from the old dealer I used to work at. Did the pdi with my friend and signed the papers 2 hours after it came off the truck. I have been building 90s hondas since I could drive. Still breaking in the clutch with only 400 miles so far. Wheels going on in the next few days, ktuner flash once the clutch in broken in, and I have a few more parts on the way.

400 miles and new shoes go on. 18x8.5 +38 Rays Gramlights 57DR

Clean I'd bet the lighter rims make a difference with the acceleratio. I'd imagine the stock joints are heavy

Reflashed yesterday with ktuner 19/23 psi dual map. Like everyone else, all I can say is WOW. Sounds better, drives better and way faster. Much more aggressive feel on acceleration than the stock map. Best $450 you can spend IMO.

Besides that I got my smoked Depo markers in. So glad they came, the orange markers were such an eye sore on the green car. The smoked one changes the whole look of the car and brings the grill and wheels together nicely. Next up I'll be attempting to wrap the chrome window trim myself. And Rays center caps should be here this week. CTR Lip is on order but back ordered till I don't know when... still anxiously waiting for ground control to drop their sleeves which I will be ordering also.

Im interested to see a ctr lip on an si, wondering if its gonne be too wide with the extra vents on the side of the ctr?

I guess you got the V1 instead of the V2. I'm waiting to pull the trigger I'm coming from a slow as dirt elentra so this feel wayyy better so far. I have a 2016 CX-9 and that thing kicks but it's the family hauler. I love that green coupe. I'll enjoy watching this thread hopefully you keep the updates coming.

I responded to you and it made it seem like what I said was your quote. I'm new here my bad. Just read the lower half of the box above

Started doing my first vinyl wrap on the chrome trim. It was coming out pretty good for my first time....until I ran out of wrap. DOH! More on order...

Is that your 1st time wrapping the trim like that? Easy to do?

 

[ssmith]

That was my first try wrapping anything. I followed a YouTube video. There are some imperfection on the ends that was easily covered up with a black sharpie. Hardly noticeable.

Mod Monday today. Added some splash guards and my center caps finally came.
