jonah_ow Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Updated pics. I installed my new front bumper. I am in the process of wiring up the JDM headlights that came with it. Pics of that coming soon! Currently sitting on my winter wheel and tire setup.

jonah_ow Posted March 7, 2018 Author Share Posted March 7, 2018 Did you enable the fogs as drl? Looking really good, coming together nicely. I just used v33k's independent fog light mod. I like leaving them on when I take pictures because I think it looks cool lol no other reason. These JDM fog lights are bright!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonah_ow Posted March 17, 2018 Author Share Posted March 17, 2018 Wired up my JDM headlights. I know there are a few walkthroughs on here but they are all lacking pictures and pretty confusing. I will be making another post on here with pictures of what I did to make them plug and play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonah_ow Posted April 7, 2018 Author Share Posted April 7, 2018 Back into summer mode just in time for more rain and snow!! I just picked up the last few nuts and bolts for my 6 speed swap. Just need to find a weekend to get the swap done with some friends!

jonah_ow Posted May 10, 2018 Author Share Posted May 10, 2018 Since my stock wheel was crumbling and looking tired, I set out to find a replacement. I first looked at the DAMD wheel, but having driven a car with it, I found that I disliked the look, ergonomics and overall shape. It just didn't work with my hands. So I looked for the part number of the original OEM MOMO wheel... and here it is. Discontinued part number, the last one in the US. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonah_ow Posted August 20, 2018 Author Share Posted August 20, 2018 Well, finally got it done. My good friend and I completed my Spec B 6 speed swap and so much more. After driving 200 miles from NH to CT with the whole swap in the back of the wagon, we pulled the 5 speed and found stripped out torx+ flywheel bolts from the numbskull who worked on the car before I started doing most everything. This led us to pull the motor as well as finding leaking head gaskets and valve covers after only 35k miles. So we pulled that and put it in the back of HIS SWP 5MT wagon (black leather interior so the rarest one). I brought it back home to a local shop and had it all fixed up professionally and after two weeks drove back with the motor and the other wagon. We then mated it to the 6 speed and dropped them both in!! Got everything put together and went to start it but the starter just clicked... turns out the 08-09 Spec B 6 speeds use a different starter motor than the 07 does... got a new starter and it worked perfectly. Primed it and it fired up like it had never even been out. We test drove it and the drivers side front brake caliper seized after less than a mile but we got a new one and changed that out in about 15 minutes. Next day I drove my car back home with zero issues. It went from no motor or transmission on a Thursday morning to running and driving by Saturday morning. What a journey. Updated my mod list as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
