My 89 Sedan project. Many Pics.I really did not intend to do a whole lot with this car when I fist got it. I purchased it as a junk car, which is what I do for a living, but I had a hard time junking it out. This site and the threads about other members rides have affected me and now I want to keep it. When I received the car it needed a whole bunch of work and still does. Here is a few pics of the car when I got it:

I had to get rid of those wheels so I put some GSR rims on it.

The car wouldn't start when I received it. I replaced everything. I even started a thread about it on here trying get help to figure out the problem. It ended up being the fuse box. Also as you ca kind of see in the pics above the hood is a little smashed in. I bought another hood from j/y and temporaried it up in flat black. So I did away with the hood pins at the same time.

As soon as I got the car running I found out the head gasket was blown  . I pulled of the haed only to find it was cracked and two valves were cracked  . So to the j/y for a new head. I found a super clean D15B non v-tec engine in a crx that was wrecked and pulled the head. It looked like someone had recently rebuilt the whole block and head  . Some pics after the head install:

In further inspection of the Sedan the rack and pinion power steering are pretty shot. I am planning on replacing it with a manual rack. I am fairly confident that the turn ratio I have now on the LX is the worst one I can get so any rack will be better than the one I have.
I found some one on craigslist locally that had brand new in box set of eibach sportline lowering springs. I see that they retail for around 210-240 and he sold them to me for 120 which I thought was a good deal. I picked them up yesterday and had them installed by 3:00AM. I reused my original struts for now. And.....no bolts were broken or harmed yay! This is what I have so far.

I really want to get my hands on a front lip. I have seen a bunch of guys with the integra lip and it looks real nice. It makes the car look like it is lower than it really is. Also I've seen the jetta lip and it looks col too. I tried to remove the mud flaps. I got the front ones off and the backs......well....lets jus say that I need something to hold my bumper on until I get some body work accomplished

I wish I had four sets  . I really only have three. Thanks, though. Also the car had those projectors on it when I got it, not sure the brand. I am considering taking them off b/c they don't fit that well. Which in itself leads me to believe they are an off brand. I am currently getting ready for the GSR swap on the hatchie  . The swap was originally purcashed for the coupe but I picked up an SI hatch, the one pictured, for 950.00 and know I'm moving the GSR to the hatch. I already bought the complete swap: engine, trans, mounts, shift linkage, axles, p72 ecu and wiring harness(all complete from the sme car). I am going to install the d16z6 into the sedan after the GSR is Ironed out .
