Squiggy's 2012 DBP II Si Coupe

[squiggy]

For oem Honda wheels? What black lug nuts did you go with? Only black lugs I've seen seated correctly are the S2000 CR/ NSX lugs

Got em on eBay.

 

[HeelsandEers]

Nice. I'd be curious to see how they hold up. I really don't wanna spend $5.50 a lug for the S2k ones lol

Gave the engine bay a quick wipe down today just to show off a new red piece!

 

[Dar-Dar]

So much red! I like it!

 

[squiggy]

I just need a red motor mount to balance the left side out and I will be good!

I was going to tell you to take it off and paint it. You can also inject it.

Skunk2 suggested getting all torque mounts injected but I only did the top. It made shifting smoother and reduces the engine movement w/o increasing vibration.

I have considered doing both actually!

The bolts (3) will have to be torqued at 47 ft-lbs.

There's three! #4, #6, and #7.

 

[squiggy]

Thanks for the torque info!

 

[Dar-Dar]

No problem. That's for the 06-11 Si, but I'm wouldn't doubt that it changed.

 

[Nix]

toque?

Nice toque!

 

[squiggy]

Can't be a nice mod and fix a typo? Gotta rub my nose in it, eh?

 

[Nix]

When do I ever get to see someone call a "winter hat " by it's proper name! Hahahaha up here its all toques! (too-kuh or toe-kuh)

Forgot to update this thread.

Full-Race downpipe and exhaust is installed and sounds great!

A combined DIY will be coming when I get some free time to put it together.

I read page 1 of your build thread, then went through every page hoping I'd see your interior mods...post some when you can please. Build is very unique so far!

Car interior is still torn apart from (super slow) stereo system install. Plus I still need to do the soundproofing. Unfortunately, free time is nearly non-existent for me right now. It drives me nuts having all of these mods outstanding. I also still need to get a rivet tool to put the net and hooks in the trunk, install the greasable rear sway bar bushings, and piping on the doors.

The goal is to get a friend with a good camera to do some pics!

Awesome. Yeah I sound proofed my old '96 Civic with Dynamat, closed cell foam and mass loaded vinyl. It's definitely very time consuming. Good luck man. (Here's a link to my build thread that shows my sound proofing, amongst other interior mods: http://honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=3098075 )

By the way...thanks for linking all the DIYs in your first page. I'll be needing a few of them

All the leather work looks amazing!
