PICS THROUGHOUT!!! I will be a pic whore after this...
Thought I would put this up on here since I am taking pics and everything while I am building my car. This thing will be on a serious budget!! I have most everything that is going on it anyways, so money out of pocket will be minimal...HOPEFULLY!!

I started with my new (to me) Sedan Civic. Motor has a rod knock and I was wanting to do something with it anyway. My friend Bill and I are starting a shop and so he is helping me allot along the way on this build...thanks Bill!! Also cannot forget to say thanks to my buddy John for helping also, (someday he might build something )

Still waiting to be able to buy some parts that I need to get the motor in but so far so good... started 11/02/08

Just getting started

Motor out

 

[hybridkyle]

Future plans are very flexible... I have a B16A to throw in it, I just need some Integra mounts to get it in there.

I have GSR front brakes to go on when I have some larger wheels to clear the caliper.
Del Sol rear discs to go on later down the road.
Del Sol Si steering rack
Springs going on it too

Still trying to decide on keeping the power steering or not, IDK, I am ditching the A/C for now.

Also doing a wire tuck, I am by no means a pro at this, my first one...but it seems really straight forward and I have nothing but time right now waiting to find mounts. Here are some pics so far....

And HEL YA I am keeping the cruise!!

What you talking about man.... besides, not really anyone knew I had it, and it is not staying in there forever!! Come help me work on this shit!!!! Oh and I got to get my header fixed since I never noticed it was welded back up on the bottom...hard to let go of a Mugen header I guess!

91SI:
Have you started the swap yet? Plan out everything you want to do to it while the motor is out!! Best advice anyone could ever get, all my buddies keep trying to get me to just drop it in. I am doing it my way this time.

i here ya i'm saving cash to have my motor properly built and assembled.

I'm working on my shell myself I'm striping the sound tar in the cabin and cleaning up the engine bay in my yard right now.

Great to see another white sedan getting built up!

Ditch the power steering and put in a manual rack in it.

Oh, yeah you and Drew...thats about it!!

Yeah, not sure on the paint yet, but I will definately be scrubbing the shit outta it and repainting some brackets. We will see how it looks after that.

Now, just need to find some mounts.... hmmmmm :-?

I think a rack out of a eg cx hatch will work

Yeah, I know what cars to get them from, but I don't really want to spend the cash and I have 2 power racks here that I guess I should get rid of....

[hybridkyle]

If you just tuck the chasis harness for the lights and stuff then a few hours...depending on exactly how you do it. I am doing the engine harness, fuse box, and the battery also.... Trip just came by not long ago, ask him how I was pulling my fucking hair out from wiring!!! SUCKS!!! But I am getting close.

Updated pics in the next day or so...
