Thought I'd start my build thread on here while I've got a few minutes. My names Liam, from northfor those that don't know, this is my 5th civic and 4th build. A quick run down of my civic history
Started with a Adriatic blue Ej9 which ended up like this:
Replaced it with a VSM Ej9 Sport which also ended like this:
Replaced that with the longest civic I've owned to date:
But I wanted more power so I decided to move up to a Vti which turned out to be a massive mistake on my part. This is the Vti:
But the Vti had a horrible secret, seems that a previous owner had the arches patched over on the cheap to get rid of it. I've never seen such horrific rust on a civic.
So that left me with a choice, break and buy a different civic or build my own from ground up.
So I've bought this:
A fully rolling Ek9, just missing the motor.
So it's a little rough round the edges but there is no rust what so ever! Nothing at all so a perfect shell. I gave it a quick wash to see how dull the paint really is;
Turns out, it's really flat and dull plus it's scuffed and dented. So a full respray is happening very soon for it.
Plans engine wise, either the b16a2 from my vti or a C4 motor either with my racetech turbo kit bolted on and mapped by Will@RDT.
