Poor mans ST build.

[hikarucelica]

So a little history lesson had a 98 Grand Prix GT traded it evenly for my 91 ST

it had some issues when i got it

Alternator was junk(fixed)
battery was shot (fixed)
Ex. Mani. was cracked (fixed)
antenna is broke and redneck rigged no reception...
driver window was misaligned (fixed)
flex pipe is leaking badly
and possibly the 02 sensor possibly bad..
blown trunk struts
air bag light is on
4 bent rims




i did cut off the stock muffler and put a thrush turbo muffler on it and i put some euro clear head lights in it. and replaced and destroyed blinker housing. and i painted the bumper...and put new brake pads on it.



day i got it.



did sleep eyes..



got sick of the front bumpers ugliness






rear and thursh turbo


B17 EF hatch and a H22 red top accord


stripped it some..rear deck and trunk are staying stripped putting r.seats and side panel back in.


missing rear speakers thanks to previous owner.


coilover sleeves..too small for stock struts any idea on some they would fit on?


factory speaker amp?


i have plans/wants for it..
new rims and tires with rear wheel spacers
GT bumper/fog set up
deciding between GE head swap or just putting in a GZE
new paint
CF hood
eventually coilovers.
thicker rear sway
strut tower bars
poly bushings
6th gen trailing arms
7th gen ss

awesome! Well good luck with your build. Looks like your on a good track.

I had those "coil overs" too and couldnt make them work, you would have to grind it down and thats a pretty bad idea...

[blahxnhim]

Looks like a fun project! Are those ebay coilovers? Saw some for about $40 and looks alot like those..

[hikarucelica]

They are eBay hence the poor man's in the title lol

I had those before. I f*cking loved them, super firm but I didn't care.

Yeah they dont fit the strut very well. In the front I had to use a hammer and smash it in, in the rear I made a seat for the spring and had just the spring sitting on my regular perches.

looking good, cant wait to see the end result.

Got my fog lights installed waiting on the yellow H3s and a switch and relay from another member

looking good, the carbon trim pieces are pretty easy to find and so are the side lights.
