Capnjack 2007 LGT build thread

Recommended Posts

The car is nearing completion(will it ever be?) but, I promised several people I bought parts from on the forum that I would post a build thread so they could see where their parts ended up. I tried to purchase all parts from forum members and vendors to best support this great community.

I'd like to give special thanks to a few on the forums that helped me out greatly! Franz, Mike at Infamous, and Dave at Cryotune Performance. I couldn't have done it with out you guys! There are also several unnamed individuals that helped answer questions I posted. Thanks all!

Here we go!

The car started out as a stock 2007 LGT 5MT purchased as a demo car from Don Jacobs in Milwaukee, WI. I told myself when I got rid of my Integra that this car would stay stock. It did until the 36k warranty ran out. :lol:

What a sleeper, looks great! And that EWG such an amazing sound I really can't wait to go stage 3!

 

Thank you! Make sure the EWG is something you REALLY want. It can get annoying sometimes. It pretty much growls every time I pass someone on a two lane road. I've gotten some dirty looks.

 

Nicely done man and good mods, definitely a fun ride I'm sure. Like the dyno video too.

 

Thanks! It puts a smile on my face every time I drive it.

 

Great looking car and it runs very well. Glad I could be part of your beautiful build.

 

Dave

 

Thanks Dave! I'm VERY happy with how it turned out. I could not have asked for more. The car is smooth, solid, and fun!

Test fit these guys a couple of weeks ago to see how they look. Waiting on wheels and tires to show up now. :wub:

 

Next I'm thinking of some fuel rail upgrades and maybe some pump wiring upgrades.

 

Then it's time to start saving for a RalliSpec short block and engine goodies.

I can't wait to get to this point! Only thing stopping me is my motor need to rebuild it cause she's getting old at 161k. Also my tranny mine is auto and I want to convert it to a 6 speed swap. The EWG is something I really want I just absolutely love that sound.

You could always go with Building your Automatic Tranny as well as a option...
