Hey guys what's up? I'm relatively new to the site but I see lots of people making a build thread so I decided to make one for myself as well. I'll start off with how I got my teg (this hopefully won't be a TL;DR moment ). My first experience with Honda/Acura was buying a Civic that needed a LOT of TLC. Pics below:
My buddy helping me work on it:
When I got this thing, it was in pretty rough shape. Too much stuff needed to list, but I didn't find that out until after I got it. Paid $1300 for it and got into it about a total of $2500. The clutch in it was toast...see for yourself. Side by side next to a new one:
On to my Teg. I had always wanted a Teg but I couldn't find one so I settled for that Civic. About a month of owning the Civic and I found a craigslist post at 2am (he had just put it up 2 minutes before I looked!) for a 94 LS that just needed a paintjob and minor body repair. He wanted to trade for a 4-door because he had a kid and his gf was making him get rid of the Teg. I texted him and set up to meet the next day. Long story short, he liked the Civic, I liked the Teg, we traded.
It has about 167K on it so far. Only thing wrong with it was small body repair and paint and a new upper radiator hose.
Mods so far:
Stage 3 clutch...don't know what brand, came already in the car
Halo Projector headlights (came with car)
BWR Tow Hook
Konig Illusion 15" rims w/ 205/50/15 tires
Spyder JDM Black LED Tail Lights w/ StreetGlow LED bulbs(Tried to black these out...didn't go too well. Still working on getting the tint off them.)
OEM spoiler (bought off a friend's wrecked teg)
Pioneer DEH-P5100UB receiver w/ new Pioneer speakers all around (came with car)
Pioneer Premier Champion Series 12" subwoofer w/ 1000W Sony amp
Planned mods:
PAINT JOB/BODY REPAIR. First thing I'm gonna do. lol. Getting it painted black w/ clear coat base and body repair for $750 within the next month.
New axles (not really a mod but mine are kinda wobbly.)
Stage 1 clutch (3's too rough for me, but DAMN does it pull hard)
Hasport engine mounts
Injen Cold Air Intake
4-2-1 Header + Full Exhaust (thinking Skunk2 header + HKS or Greddy exhaust)
ABS delete (damn thing buzzes until the ABS light comes on every time I start the car)
Rear wiper delete
Mugen or Spoon front lip
Tein lowering springs + Tokico shocks//struts OR F&F Coilovers.
Full engine build...everyone knows what that means...not gonna list everything lol.
Will turbo once my engine's built up.
PICS
The Teg
My Halos at night :]
Brand new Konig Illusions:
now on the car:
Finished tint removal on tails
Tow Hook (sold my steelies for $60 plus this. It's brand new)
And the spoiler:
Love? Hate? Opinions/suggestions I'm open to all! Don't worry about hurting my feelings because you won't. Everyone's car is made the way they want it and if you don't like mine that's fine with me! Cheers!
