[@HiFiInsider]

I just bought a bone stock green EX. Love it.!

[@OutOfOrderMai]

Such a great car in stock form. Congrats on your EX!

[@HiFiInsider]

@@OutOfOrderMai what are the seats you have in the car? they look to be from a different Honda / Acura.

[@OutOfOrderMai]

@@HiFiInsider they are Integra GSR seats. Came out of my 98 GSR I parted out to build this car

[@HiFiInsider]

@@OutOfOrderMai thank you! what year was the GS-R? i’ll keep this in mind when i need to replace my original seats.

[@OutOfOrderMai]

@@HiFiInsider it was a 1998 gsr

[@PROSTO4Tabal]

[@willitohernandez1094]

Beautiful Ej1 Cpupe. I've always wanted a Red Ej1 Civic Coupe for My next project/build.

[@OutOfOrderMai]

Thank you! You should get one if you find one for a reasonable price. Great platform

[@1BadRAMLimited]

Great build so far!

[@OutOfOrderMai]

Thank you!!

[@scottdoubleyou563]

Next up? K-swap, all wheel drive, and big turbo. You should hit up Youngstatic's channel. He's in Cali as well, and can point you in the right direction, no matter what your plans for this car are.

[@OutOfOrderMai]

Scott Doubleyou I’ve made a lot of changes and will be tuning the car with my new setup on the 16th (will post a video). I’ll most likely go k sometime next year, but I want to get body work done then paint the car. It’s running solid right now. Oh yeah I’m subscribed to him too lol I met him last year at the Sacramento raceway. He’s a good guy. Thanks for your input and for watching my video!

[@mtnscoutsadventureplus7145]

Looks fresh 🏆

[@OutOfOrderMai]

Thank you!!

[@CarlosGastulo]

What kind of wheels are those

[@OutOfOrderMai]

@@CarlosGastulo Kosei K1

[@keeganmcgraw1394]

How did you touch up the paint so well, specifically on that orange spot you had on the fender

[@OutOfOrderMai]

I had to clean it well and do multiple layers. It’s hard to capture how it looks on the photo, but it’s very noticeable in person (can really see the defects), but it’s just temporary. I have a replacement fender I still need to get painted and put on.

[@andyhenrrybecerramendez7934]

Hola que modelos de guardafangos son ? Pues no puedo encontrar para ej1. Aquí en Perú

[@Onedeepdrew]

Where did you buy engine from?

[@OutOfOrderMai]

Bought it off one of my friends who had it rebuilt as a backup. He had it in storage for over 2 years until he sold it to me

[@laben3814]

Just Curios I have the same exact car how much would a build like this run w engine swap coilovers and everything?

[@OutOfOrderMai]

For my particular build I spent roughly 3k but I have a lot of second hand parts and parts from my previous build. If I were to get everything brand new (besides engine and transmission) I’d say you’d spend and easily 5k+. I would recommend taking your time and get quality parts used and some things new (suspension components)

[@laben3814]

SirMai awesome sounds great thank you appreciate it soon I’ll make a vid too ;) 👌👍

[@OutOfOrderMai]

@@laben3814 no problem thank you for your support. Looking forward to your build too! I’m always looking for motivation

[@MrVern88]

Need my vids... haha keep up Mai

[@OutOfOrderMai]

Vern Saefong for sure! You should document yours too haha

[@MrVern88]

Naw maybe if get another car

[@OutOfOrderMai]

Vern Saefong next one bro. I wish I would’ve documented all of them

[@02jjrsx]

Clean clean man! . I'm picking up a b16a tmrrw and throwing it in my Ej1 😬 . Did you have to switch out your front sway bar? Or kept the stock d series one?? .

[@OutOfOrderMai]

joflo90 thank you sir! Nice, you can keep your stock front sway without any issues since it’s not in the way. Lmk if you have anymore questions during the swap. Good luck 👍🏽

[@02jjrsx]

@@OutOfOrderMai sweet!! Thanks man I appreciate that 🙏🏼 . I'm excited to throw it on hah

[@OutOfOrderMai]
