Little backstory on me coming to own the car. I am a huge fan of C.L., I trade a lot of cars. I traded a 99 em1 civic, for a guys 95 coupe plus $2,000 on his end. I ended up trading that coupe straight across for this ralliart. I know- bad *** deal for me. I just got lucky. The Ralliart had 105,000 miles on it. It now has 108,000. I am the third, and will be the final owner. I have leather, the S&S package, and the dumb auto trans. I have been piecing together all the stuff I need for a manual swap.

 

 

Lets see some interior pics. I haven't seen leather in a RA from the states before.

 

 

I officially wish I had leather seats in my RA. Nice job on doing those trades

 

 

When it gets a little warmer I will pull the wheels, and show what I had to do to fit the enkeis with stock tires.

 

Now you know I fit 3 car seats in the back.

 

Yes that's. A lot of dog fur. I have 2 enormous, awesome great danes. Black one is Lou, he is my baby boy.(6yrs old) White one is Frankie, my kids dog(2yrs old)

 

Nice lookin ride! Welcome to the board. Any other plans besides the manual swap?

 

I plan to see how low I can go on the enkeis with stock evo tires, carbon fiber hood, carbon fiber trunk, I am planning on the RRM turbo kit. A lot more, but those are my main focuses right now.

 

Great job with the swaps dude! You came out with an awesome ride in the end. And the RRM Kit eh?

 

I love your car! Good luck with the manual swap. Ive thought about it many, MANY times. Nice to have another Auto on here though. We are a minority around here. hahaha

 

RRM kit because, here in Arkansas I can not find a tuner for anything. I had to drive my last turbo civic about 3hrs into oklahoma for a good dyno tune. The RRM kit says it comes 100% ready to bolt on and go.

 

LOL I love that you named this thread 'ninja BATMOBILE'. My girlfriend said my car looked like the batmobile once I put the Evo wing on. LOL

Oh and you might want to check out Truthdweller's thread in the Forced Induction board. He has an auto sportback that he has been prepping for turbo. He should be right near the finish line by now. But its been a pretty inspiring build for me. He is using the UV Tune reflash which has proven much more reliable, and more customizable than the piggy back RRM uses. Just a thought.
