This is my Project SE-i build thread! This is where I will put my To-do list, as well as current progress. Currently, I am getting the car ready for Import Alliance 2010! Heres my to-do list
- Get a new Passengers seat (Ripped OEM leather makes Amy angry...LOL)
- OBD1 Swap
- Timing Belt
- P/S Pump
Thats all I have for now.
In Progress, OBD1 Swap!
Distributor Adapter Plate. Bought from Cygnus-x1! Amazing quality, everything is there. WELL worth the money, Buy while you still can!

I forgot my old pictures are all on my old cell phone of my OBD-1 harness, so I'll have to get those off to post them.
In Progress, New Intake Manifold!
B16 Intake Manifold, OpenLoop ported and matched, Stock B18a throttle body (58mm)

good stuff :thumbup:
how about....doing a claybar on that car? I think you could really restore a lot of the color.
you think so? its wprth a shot, but that oxidation is pretty bad. i think if anything the claybar will help out the chips on my hood.
Yay for progress. Well, a little anyway.
Picked up a new drivers seat today. Compared to the tired stock one, looks great!!

Lude seats FTW!
Rex seats actually, but thanks!
OK Hazwan, so i owe you an apology. After doing a bit of research, the CRX i found that seat in actually had a prelude drivers seat in it, and no passengers seat. So i do, in fact, have a prelude seat sitting in my office right now.
Yes most definitely poolude seats
yeah i was about to say...no crx came with thoes seats
Hey, You should put a H22 in it
Nope, nope. NA A20 is the plan. I've got goals son!Quote:

^whoa when did you become a mod? I just noticed that now :O. sorry for the o/t
Umm, yesterday.. Im a Project Center Mod :D

I did get my suspension parts. Upper control arms, bushings, radius arm bushings, lower ball joints, outer tie rod ends.
Bump! Did a bit of work on the car today. I've had a Vigor mirror (Thanks for the info Messy, it is a nice upgrade!) for a couple of months, and some new pioneer speakers for a couple of years (YIKES). Finally decided to get to work on them.
Old Stock, small mirror

New mirror installed!
http://www.alltelmypics.net/photos/p...af5fdb38fd.jpg
Now the issue with the speakers (and why its taken me FOREVER to get them in) Is the fact that the stock speakers in the SE-i are SUPER TINY and the OEM Bose speaker enclosure is too. This is the OEM Bose enclosure with the speakers my dad bought me for my 16th birthday. Needless to say, with 6x9s in the back, these aren't heard much.
http://www.alltelmypics.net/photos/p...ed7fa692cc.jpg
Heres the OEM 6.5" speaker enclosures. The speakers I bought are Shallow mount, but to fit in the OEM baskets, they would have to be incredibly shallow. Only a few speakers actually fit.
http://www.alltelmypics.net/photos/p...883247949f.jpg
Clearly these aren't one of those few.
http://www.alltelmypics.net/photos/p...744cbc3f39.jpg
Heres what i did!
Safety first...These are my shooting glasses, don't make fun of the ULTRA TACTICALNESS YELLOW HIGH DEF glasses.

First pass with the dremel
http://www.alltelmypics.net/photos/p...ea29653759.jpg
All done!
http://www.alltelmypics.net/photos/p...85f5c7e897.jpg
Test fit, much better!
http://www.alltelmypics.net/photos/p...3d8c8268e7.jpg
Installed

And all back together.

Someone please bring stock coupe/hatch speaker mesh to the meet....I'm sick of the ricetastic ones. Oh why was i so young and ignorant! Thanks for reading! Sorry for the cellpics..
i'd be scared to shift, domo would eat your hand!
haha i knew someone would see him :)
im stealing domo at the meet. nuff said.
rear view mirror is a really easy mod...i recomemded...for safety reasons.
yay for mods ^_^
and yeah those bose speaker enclosers suck!, my 4g had them, thankfully the 3g, EF and CB all share the same 6" speaker enclosers so i just pulled them out of my civic(which were from my 3g lol)
hahaha dremel ftw. i used a soldering iron on mine, came out very messy lol
He's bad luck. 2 weeks after i got him my car got hit :-( Actually i think i got him right afterQuote:

Hey look! Progress! Well not really. But parts are accumulating. I'll have to do something with them eventually or my lovely girlfriend will kill me.
So i bought Openloops old b16 manifold
http://lh5.ggpht.com/_z3UepmbX5NE/TL...018_112349.jpg
It currently has a B18A throttle on it (58mm) that i picked up at PullaPart (Jalje was there!)
I also picked up this 'lil number from Cygnus. Thanks a lot buddy!
http://lh6.ggpht.com/_z3UepmbX5NE/TL...018_114056.jpg
This is an amazing piece! Top notch quality, everything is included. Pick one up while you still can!
Oh and painted my shaved valve cover. This picture kinda sucks because it was early, just before I went on a 100 mile cruise around Osage County (I may post pictures of that later)
http://lh5.ggpht.com/_z3UepmbX5NE/TL...016_082229.jpg
Thanks for viewing!
yay for progress!
obd1 conversion ftw.. once you get rid of the vac lines all you will need is to delete the PS, CC, AC, Battery relocation , and wire tuck!
though the last 3 suck compared to first 2 on the easiness/comfort scale
what's that D shaped thing for on the dizzy adapter?
Water neck oring. And cah, nothing will be deleted except for cruise, this will be my road trip car once I get it all nice and fixed up
Yay more progress! Grabbed more stuff at PaP (Girlfriend isn't happy lol.....our office runneth over with 3g shit...) First and foremost was another lude seat. Almost matches the other one, close enough for me not to notice too much. I might get them both recovered in leather before the meet, but i very seriously doubt it.
Also found :D
http://lh6.ggpht.com/_z3UepmbX5NE/TM...026_192547.jpg
If anyone has seen these before, i'd be very surprised. They are OEM Bumper Hole Plugs. I've personally never seen them, seen anyone post about them, heard of them for our cars for that matter. They're blue right now, probably won't be on the car every honestly, because I'd rather shave the holes. If anyone wants these, just hit me up.
Also found some of these (Thanks Steve)
http://lh6.ggpht.com/_z3UepmbX5NE/TM...026_192528.jpg
Not sure when these might go on. I have 90% of the tabs and clips for them (Not bad considering all the breakage that these clips usually suffer), but I want to be sure to carefully take the ones off my car and take my time putting them on. Also, I have to have a big ass dent taken out of my rear quarter, so no sense in putting it on yet.
Thanks for looking!
Glad to see upgrades!
bumper hole plugs? do they go in the bolt holes where the front plate normally goes?
I have those bumper plugs on my car and I think I actually have a bunch hanging around in one of my toolboxes
Hatch trim on a coupe? I want to see this NOW.
...post some comparison pictures, especially of the trim alone.
check one of the flippin meet pics threads, there should be a couple pics of mine and rob's car near eachotherQuote:
