I want something FWD for winter.

And I want something not subject to frame and strut tower rust.

Well I do love your car

Anyway, since the thread got bumped anyway, I'm now torn between a DC2 and an EK. I'm heavily leaning toward a championship white (if it's not, there's a good chance I'll paint it) DC2 with a JDM ITR front end and lots of carbon fiber and eventually a boosted K swap.

But until then, I plan on replacing the rear ABS sensors, clock spring, and front O2 sensors and possibly the rear calipers in preparation of selling the mustang. As soon as I find something to rig up the passenger seat rail (the wire that connects the slider locks may have gotten damaged when I removed the OEM seats), I'll start de-modding the mustang, I'm hoping sometime this week or next. Realistically, I'll be waiting a few months to trade until my parents come down and visit as I'll need a co-signer for a private loan since PNC is a douche of a bank.

But I've had plenty of time to come up with evil plans, and I think they'll go something like this:

For an EK:
-BackYard Specials front bumper
-Spoon AP2 rear diffuser (carbon fiber) modified to fit
-Extreme Dimensions front and side splitters (carbon fiber)
-J's Racing canards
-D2 Racing RS coilovers
-ASR subframe brace
-OEM CTR 22mm rear sway bar
-Buddy Club front camber kit
-Blox Racing rear LCAs
-PW:JDM tow hooks
-Type-R style grille
-Enkei RPF1 wheels (16x7, +43mm offset)
-JDM "thin" window visors
-Skunk2 dual-bend shifter
-Skunk2 shift ****
-Bride Zeta III seats
-Takata 6pt harnesses
-Sparco harness bar (the harnesses will be bolted to the child seat anchors using the bar to keep them at the ideal level coming off the seats)
-PW:JDM powerchamber intake
-Megan Racing header
-PW:JDM header shield
-PW:JDM O2 extensions
-GReddy Evo 2 cat-back


For a DC2:
-JDM front end conversion (HID headlights)
-Spoon style front lip (carbon fiber)
-VIS Racing front splitter (carbon fiber)
-J's Racing canards (carbon fiber)
-PW:JDM air intake duct (carbon fiber)
-VIS Racing OEM-style hood (carbon fiber)
-Extreme Dimensions side splitters (carbon fiber)
-Spoon AP2 rear diffuser (carbon fiber) modified to fit
-PW:JDM tow hooks
-JDM "thin" window visors
-ITR wing
-Bride Zeta III seats (black w/gradation)
-Takata 6pt harnesses
-Sparco harness bar (like the EK, just used as a harness routing point)
-Skunk2 dual-bend shifter
-OEM RSX 5spd shift ****
-Enkei RPF1 wheels (16x7, +43mm offset)
-D2 Racing RS coilovers
-ASR subframe brace
-OEM ITR 23mm rear sway bar
-Buddy Club front camber kit
-Blox rear LCAs
-PW:JDM powerchamber intake (carbon fiber)
-PW:JDM carbon fiber plug wire cover (carbon fiber)
-Megan Racing header
-PCI header shield
-PW:JDM O2 extension
-GReddy Evo 2 cat-back

Well whatever decision you finally choose, you will have one amazing Honda/Acura. I definitely can't wait to see the project thread when you do make your purchase!

EDIT: I bet you are going to post another 25 threads before you do end up making up your mind on what you will end up doing. LOL

I'd go with Function 7 rear LCA's if I were you. With all that $$$ in looks, you could swap/build/turbo the engine in either of those cars...

It's not going to be for a while; I'll be moving to a new apartment in July, so right now I'm saving all my money for that. I'd say the EK/DC will come mid to late summer.

And my biggest thing with LCAs are "LCAs are LCAs". There's no welds, so as long as they're made of a quality material, they'll do just fine; if need be, bushings can be replaced. With that logic, I want something in anodized purple and Blox is the only company I know of producing anodized purple LCAs. And I'm not too concerned with power on a daily driver as the car will never see a track. I'd much rather it look good and be comfortable than it be fast; engine mods will come with time.
