y56 Yellow coupe with with regas would look awsome

I kinda like the dark colors and I heard about the Y-Curse of the CRX owners and I don't want my car totalled... I was thinking of going solid green with a set of Type R wheels in a 15 inch size.. there is a company that makes replicas...I am not concerned with exact details like bolt patterns, etc... I want to focus on performance, I need a bigger exhaust, Recaro CTR seats... carpet, steering wheel( not too concerned about the gray dash... The hardest part is done, I have the Type R B16B in it so...

And I read the thread about that guy that thought wheels and stickers on a SOHC D-series constituted a Type R clone... Ain't going down THAT route...

i dont believe this, i just think it would be right if you put Type R on it. ek9 wheels would be ok. or putting DOHC VTEC on the side of the car

Some new pics. I forgot to post these, I have been busy. Sorry for the quality of these as I just got this camera and I was not familiar on how to work it.

The CTR swap

Hood Closed

Hood Open, it looks like it came in there from the factory, lol

99 cent eBay find, shipping from Japan was 82 bucks though, still, not bad
for an EK4 SiR-II steering wheel.

Another eBay find. This was 120 bucks shipped. The pics don't do it justice in my opinion.

80 bucks for a set of 4 Acura Sunflower wheels, second best looking wheels from OEM, the first being CTR wheels, of course. There are 4 this pic just shows 3. The tires are shot, but I wanted the wheels, so it's all good.

And here is a side shot...

And, just for laughs, this is my own personal LOLCat...

Props for the engine but I thought you wanted to build a CTR coupe clone. So why are you wasting your money on ek4 steering wheels, em1 clusters, and integra rims? And don't buy those replica CTR rims you plan on buying, if you really want them go ahead and go with the whole 5-lug conversion I know it's expensive but you gotta pay to play.

Gentlemen, he is TRYING! Give constructive criticism as opposed to telling him how his car should look. The part of our hobby that tells people how each car should look (mob mentality) drives me crazy. At least for me as it's FUNCTION BEFORE LOOKS it's all good. It could be pink with little silver stars down the side of it.....if it can handle good in the corners and the driver is skilled then I get a freakin hard-on. On a side note....

To OP: 5 lug, suspension, don't by urethane anything...ever, don't go cheap.

I just think he is starting to steer a little off course

Wow sorry I have not been on here in forever. But I am back and have made some progress

New driver side fender installed on an unseasonably warm Feb day

Finally got rid of the stripe on both sides

Found GSR seats for 25 bucks

Rear sway bar for 10 bucks, again a GSR item

Custom 2.25 inch exhaust with a silenced muffler and resonator delete

Installed passenger fender about a month after the driver side

Traded my EK9 ECU for this...

Forgot to mention I removed the spoiler when I replaced the fenders

The steering wheel was 82 bucks on eBay, the em1 was cheap for my budget at the time, and the integra rims were 75 bucks,
