That rear louver looks amazing.

I would get a hatch just to have one of them.

Good work mate.

Thanks Castle. I'm really digging the look too. I just wish I had a bit more time and money to get stuff rolling on it, but it's just been on the back burner.

This is happening. I am getting a set of meshies also as track wheels.

I will be resizing the lip to 5 inches, making it 15x10. They will also be refinished and cleaned up. Also Mark, I want to know how wide the GP body kit is over factory! Just curious haha.

Going to get the face done in white soon. 24k gold hardware on the way.

So my daily driver electric power steering went out, so it's off at the dealer. This meant I HAD to fix the S12 to get to work and school haha. Anyway I just swapped to another rack, which doesn't leak. Started her up and saw a coolant leak.

So this was from the previous car I had the accident in. I never got around to checking the motor since everything looked fine. So I just threw it all back, swapped the motor, and could never find the leak, until it was really bad. Anyway I got the nipple welded up from a friend and replaced the hose to the TB. She runs good now. I just threw the suspension together to drive, so the alignment is definitely off haha. Bilsteins feel freaking amazing. I'll try to get more pictures once I get the new wheels on and body 'massaged' to fit them.

So I dropped down to San Diego to hang with some S12 friends. Got some work done and went junkyard hunting!

Gustavo got me some fenders to chop up. I'm going to make these Racing Harts fit haha. Too bad they are so clean, but I'm glad I could find a mint set.

Gustavo and I before I departed back home.

The Racing Harts just got sent to powdercoating and I received my 24k Gold hardware also. I just need to drill out the valve stem holes for it. When the faces come back, I'm going to reassemble the wheels and get tires mounted.

I also got Planted S12 seat brackets. I will be picking those up this week and post pictures. I'm excited. Most of this car is coming together really fast and when I get everything squared away, I will probably get a real alignment and just enjoy the car for the rest of next year.

Got brackets for my seats. I need sliders, but that will come later. They are approximately the same height as on my stock sliders, so I'm kind of bummed. They would be safer and look better so I'm stuck keeping it. I don't think I could sell it back anyway. I will install these later on.

Still waiting on my wheels to get back from powdercoat and save up for tires next year. Lots of big things coming. I also picked up a spare CA18DET longblock to build over next year.

My daily civic also got wheels and I'm deciding suspension for it. Can't wait. School's almost done so I can focus on my hobbies and work.

Got them assembled. I have two more to put together but school and work has been busy. I just need to paint the RACING HART letters red. The actual specs are 15x9.5 -13. I measured it cuz something looked off. Either way the sizing is better so my tires don't look overly stretched.

Awesome wheels, they'll stand out nicely against the blue too. Wide wheels and -ve offsets equal heavy steering so I hope you have power steering!

Oh I definitely have PS now. The wheels are going to be sent off to get the lettering painted. I'm excited. I also picked up a set of Volk CV Pros. Going to resize to 15x9 for another set of wheels. hahah
