Thanks everyone for the comments. Its obviously been a few months sense I've started working on this build but I figured to wait to have some progress done already to start a thread lol For the most part she's maybe a quarter way done of where I want her to be.

As for hidden plans, I’ve got a few parts coming in the mail and should arrive next week to complete the black/tan interior so stay tuned than LEDs for the cluster and maybe some custom interior lighing to finish off the interior. Than Body and paint will be next after the guts of the car are finished.

As of last night I ordered some double locking ebay sliders for the rsx seats. The plan is to weld on the factory mounting brackets from the oem seats to the new rails which should be the exact height as the oem seat height. They should arrive on Monday but here’s a link to what I got. Not bad for 120 a set.

eBay Sliders

Thank goodness for a three day weekend! Got some stuff done.

I added LEds to the cluster using the cool RGB leds stips that allows to change colors with a remote. I used the cig fuse in the foot fuse panel to power the leds sense i took out the cig ligher. The pic with the cluster back was just a test to see where and if any hot spots are seen. than I moved it around if needed.
Also jumped resistor R109 for the coil on plug conversion.

Than I did some more work on the interior

Cluster back in
Tan steering wheel removed (waiting for the 3spoke to come in)
Tan ebrake swapped out with a black handle (with a genuine leather boot straight from Italy )
Rear deck is back in.
I also got the seat slider in which ill get started on as well.

Now I also got a arm rest from the same company that I got the boot from. Question is do I want to keep the Tan hand rest or put on the genuine black leather? Let me know what you guys think? Sorry for the crappy pics it Ill take some good pics once everything is finished up.

IMO, I would keep the two tone look, but dye or replace the carpet and mats to black. I like the look of that. I chose the all black just because of the keep it simple, yet elegant look.

Which steering wheel did you get? RX, IS, or ?????

its the typical xspower manifold that was looked over and rewelded on some spots than heat wrapped.

Turbo is a t60-1 and cant remember the specs on it. Broda805 built the trubo for quick spool up. Im also thinking about doing an FFIM and bigger sturbo maybe the s366 but that will be waaayyy later on down the road.
