Also modding hondas runs in the family. Here is a peak at dads car. Don't want to give too much away cos he Lives in Perth and no doubt once the build is finished you will hear about it :)

Brother on the left and dad on the right.

Some more pics of mine.

Back seats (WRX) fitted to EG. Had SiR rears but wanted something that matched the recaros in the back better.

Phase / Buddy club coilovers are pretty low when wound down. Had another inch of adjustment. Took 5 minutes to get out of my driveway (pictured above) :cool:

Welcome BaNaNaMaN...

Those Advanti wheels look nice on your EG.

Go the H22a Conversion :thumbsup:

Are you keeping it all motor or adding boost?

What's your dad car? An EF Civic or CRX?

Post some times when you have completed your engine swap as I'm keen to compare H22a EG hatch times to H22a EG Sedan times.

Which rims (White ones are 15" advanti aswell as the 17" in the first post)

I was going to turbo it but news I am an expected father has put a hold on that plan for now. I will be turbo'ing later.

Dads is a 91 CRX

The sedan is not ment to be the fastest machine on the road. Just want to build it to please myself. A little drag, race and show and I will be a happy man :)

Both Advanti are nice but i was referring to the dark bronze 17's.

I know what you mean by your sedan not having to be the fastest thing etc, but the H22a will easily cart around four even five people with ease :thumbsup:

I'm thinking of sticking another H22a or H23a into an EK sedan though myself (the missus wants four door).

Goodluck with the conversion and future modding...

Yeah thanks dude.

Want to have a comfortable car rather than a competition car.

At some point I will more than liekly get bored a strip it out but for now the plan is in motion :)

how hard was it to put the wrx seats in the rear?

Not hard at all. There was a little trimming of the frame of the seats in the wheel arch area because of the hinge location of the factory seats. And the same for the bottom of the back seat.

The only major which I couldn't do was to get new locating hooks tacked on the sub frame at the top of the back seat to locate to the parcel tray. The WRX has "hooks" on the parcel tray that the rears slide onto. So a little added piece to the sub frame to attach at the top and your done.

Size wise they fitted PERFECT.
