iM Feature: Rajan’s JDM EG6 done right
How do you make a solid Honda platform look sick, without going over the top and ending up with a huge bowl of rice? Simple: just take a look at Rajan’s homemade recipe.
This unique recipe starts off with a layer of custom gold paint, and a touch of black Honda Black pearl paint on the roof. Next, add a Seibon Carbon hood, Spoon Sports spoiler, SiR front lip, and Password:JDM thin side moldings. Afterward, Raj suggests you delete the front and rear wipers. While your at it, might as well smoke the front, rear and side marker lights, and shave the antenna.
For that special touch, Raj also threw in some Tein Super Street Coilovers, an ITR front and rear sway bar, SPC camber kit, Skunk2 lower control arms, Beaks rear lower tiebar, and a Password:JDM 3 point front strut bar and rear strut bar.
For a full flavor marinade; a 98 Spec Type R transmission, Pssword:JDM carbon intake, Skunk2 intake manifold and fuel rail, Buddy Club racing spec headers, Blox cat delete, Apex’i N1 exhaust, NGK Plugs and a Mizu Aluminum Radiator and slim fan are a must. Raj also says that mixing in a carbon solenoid cover and hood dampers, a set of Spoon Sports rad hoses, a Greddy oil cap, a candy red powder coated ITR valve cover, J’s Racing carbon spark plug cover and Cusco oil catch can can also add some subtle tastes.
Chef’s special suggestion for the health wise? Pealing the A/C out can save on those nasty calories.
After settling, you can spice up the interior with some Bride Digo seats, custom Bride doorcards, armrest and floor mats. A Mugen shift knob, ITR shiftboot and Personal Grinta steering wheel with Works Bell hub and quick release can also add that extra little kick.
You can begin the final preparations with a set of Rotora drilled and slotted rotors and Rotora brake lines, Axxis pads and Project Mu brake fluid. Cover these with a set of 16×7 +45 Buddy Club P1 wheels wrapped in 205/45RZ16’s (Falken FK451 in the back, Toyo T1R Proxies in the front). Last but not least, throw a set of Project Kic’s 10mm spacers on front and you are ready to serve.
