Looks real clean, nice work.
Love the build! Coilovers will really make a big difference. You’ll wish you had done them sooner!
Already got them on Teins.
I couldn’t tell! In that case, I’d lower it just an inch more—it’ll look amazing.
I’m planning to go with a bigger wheel setup soon, so I’m holding off for now. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Why’d you take out the sway bars? I thought people only did that for offroading?
Nice build by the way!
Removing the front sway bar ‘softens’ it, and upgrading the rear stiffens it. Basically, it changes how the car handles, letting you reduce understeer or even promote oversteer.
It’s super fun on the corners… I can even get the car sideways sometimes!
This was my first build too! Learned so much from that car.
Built not bought
Super clean, the dark tint really makes it pop.
Wish I could find a clean EM2 around here… everything’s high mileage, overpriced, or rotted out thanks to the rust belt. I just need a beater so I can work on my TSX wagon.
That’s rough, I’m lucky enough to have 2 EM2s, 3 ESs, and an EP3 around here.
So she’s getting a new transmission? What are you swapping in?
Going with the D17A2 5-speed.
