My EG5 - Budget Builder

[PowerPig]

Hi,

I'm relative new on this forum but I found it very good... GREAT! So this is my new old ride. Bought it 4-5 weeks ago.

First pic after some cleaning. Very good preserved.

Custom upholstery must go!

This ugly stuff to.

Much better!

But grey interior... no go!

found two mint cond. EG6 seats!

ACTION!

Two extra EG6 seats! GREAT!

Bit of cleaning! Those tweeter holes...

Back at home!

Now I'll take Nardi Classic wood 360 steering wheel!

And some random stuff...

Zero effect but I love bent frame look!

Wow not bad, that thing looks almost mint. How much did you pay if you don't mind me asking?

 

[PowerPig]

No, no! Complete(dash, panels, f & r seats, boot,...) interior costs me 200€ with work (and some of my help)! Only thing that is missing is black carpet 'coz it was damaged. For first two EG6 seats I paid 50€!
Maybe all this sounds expensive but since this stuff is not easy to find in good condition I think it's a fair price.

 

[ScottEKCoupe]

That is a good price, how much did you pay for the whole car?

 

[PowerPig]

Well here in Slovenia is difficult to find EGx in good condition. EG6 almost impossible. This one had only two owners and both keept her in good condition. This one was also inspected at Honda dealer and they confirmed that the frame was never damaged, bent, welded,...
That is what I was looking for. So I paid 2.500€!
Yes! You can find them from 600€ but my plan is to make her as mint condition as possible with some new additions (beside things posted) as KW V2 coils, cutom made triangle front strut, C-pillar bar, rear tower bar, tie bar, Spoon ABS lip, licence plate tilter, yelow fog lamps, custom floor mats, mud guards, Nardi Classic wood 360 + Nardi HUB, full custom exhaust (manifold, cat,...), custom CAI, I've already got four 60mm gauges - oil and water temp, oil press and boost (left from my Cooper S), rear wiper delete, paint job (urban green or creamy),... When ESi 'dies' (yers from now) I'll replace it with B18 engine!

I have a lot of plans but it will take time 'coz I want it perfect and not rush and buy random stuff.

 

[ScottEKCoupe]

2500, thats about 5 thousand here in the US, here they go for about 3500 in that condition, but not bad really

 

[PowerPig]

No, no! Thats about 3.300+ US$! US is paradise fo JDM stuff! Here in EU prices are... God! When I'm looking for something I always try to find some good soul to pay the goods for me and then send me as a gift!

 

[ScottEKCoupe]

Wow I was thinking British Pounds for some reason. Yeah, JDM stuff can be pretty steep here too, especially when you are underemployed or unemployed...

what type of rear lip is that?

 

[PowerPig]

what type of rear lip is that?

I don't know 'coz it didn't like it at all! I'm more in clean style! Side skirts also. Here are two mobile phone pisc (my frined is inspecting it an on the way to Honda dealer for second inspection) before I bought it.

Nice car, though I would have left the Bubbles lip kit on, I think it's quite stylish and subtle. Still have the skirts an rear lip and maybe even the front lip?
