Dales B18'd EK9 Build

[Barryl85]

I know that but if they were not ek9 headlights then they wouldn't have Stanley printed on them or have the extra port on the back, I understand they don't have black inserts I just don't know why.

The extra port will be for automatic headlight adjusters which ek9's dont have to make it lighter!!

They are defo standard civic lights

And its not black inserts EK9 lights are black chrome.

Well quick update:

Got the gearbox rebuilt and cured the noise, they guy that done it commented that one of the bearings was hanging out and surprised it never came through the gearbox casing! :O .. anyway gearbox is super smooth and super quiet now even the mugen diff makes no noise

Wasnt keen on the carbon bucket drivers seat that the car came with and it was super uncomfortable so managed to source a standard recaro:

Got a 8000k hi/lo hid kit ordered and fitted:

Also some white led number plate light bulbs ( see pics )

The teg wheels had green centre caps which did not match the car at all so got some red ones on there now:

Nice little delivery through the door as well in the shape of a spoon N1 backbox :

Got it fitted and love the sound in the vtec! just a matter of time and money before i get the b pipe and header

Give the car a polish and took it out for a few snaps also:

Not the best pictures i admit. Its just a cheap digi camera

and a cheeky snap of the b18 stamp on the bottom end

Cheers Dale.

looks clean!!!

 

[alan168]

brand new n1 mmmmm
btw your rear lights have been changed to non ek9 ones

 

[Dale10ellis10]

Edit: the fog lights have been wired up incorrectly into the rear lights and also the switch is on when its off and makes the bottom bit of the light the fog light, if that makes any sense.

Again another annoying little thing i will be sorting in time.

Thanks

Dale.

Anyway thanks for the comments

Well its officially off the road from today onwards, the tax is due and Ive been off sick from work for a while now so best save the money I have.

Soo an ideal excuse to really crack on with building something special, Im sticking with n/a though

Lots of things planned wont go into too much detail yet but along the lines of,

Bc racing coilovers
Rota Slips with R888's
Alot of chassis bracing including a cage
Spoon B-pipe and header
Some form of cams and valvetrain setup with pullys
New intake possibly AEM
Flocked dashboard
Piano black painted roof panel
Front and rear bumpers repainted
New full lenth radiator
Few bits of powder coating within the engine bay - rocker ect..
Alot of uprated bushes and camber arms ect..

Then see how we go from there, just need to get working again to bring the funds in.

Thanks for looking

Dale.

Gorgeous car man, minty mint!!

Update time:

Kicked things off with a strip out of the rear seats, all the rear plastics will come out when I get the the 6 point roll cage as it mounts on the rear wheel arch.

Also added a few little stickers here and there

Pretty productive day that day as i took the oppertunity to tidy out the garage I use to store my parts and tools ect.. ( there was absolutly no floor space before ) Got rid of all sorts i was keeping for no real reason now it looks like this:

Soo.. the strip down begins

How I left that day:

Decided to take advantage of the weekends weather and do something a little bit different with the rocker cover..

The crinkle paint is awful stuff!

Back to bare metal and holes masked off.

Primer

White first coat

Many more coats of white

Quick picture of the paint finish i achieved:

Then the fun started

( wanted to keep the inside where the plugs go splat free so i used the plug cover and masked the edges )

Ended up with this... note the black writing too

Overall im very happy with it only thing is i think it might look a bit too much under the engine bay but i suppose its all nice and smooth now and wont take two minutes to rub down and respray white if i change my mind when it goes back on.

Ordered some annodised nuts from tegiwa for when it goes back on the car

Also as i found out the front lights had been possibly changed to ordinary civic lights so purchased some proper ones:

Alot more to come.. carnt wait to get paid and start ordering stuff

Thanks for looking

Dale.

Great car man!!! That rocker cover is absolutely mint!!!!

 

[DV8]

Nice mate, quite like the splashy rocker.

Those lights will make the world of difference too.

 

[maclean2404]

nice build up mate, your car looks mint. Rocker is ROCKING haha!!

goodwork dude

 

[Dale10ellis10]

Cheers guys much appreciated

Yeah looking forward to see the lights fitted.

Dale.

 

[Championship White]

Looks good Dale! Just started stipping the back of mine out now, the amount of seam-sealer Honda used is ridiculous, having an absolute mare getting it all out!

 

[Sleeper Status]

Looking good.
what's the plans for the B18 bottom end?

 

[Dale10ellis10]

Well the car has been off the road for around 6 month, decided if bought a run around I could start to gather enough decent parts to build what I want.

I,ve moved house twice since its been in storage so hence the photos of it being on a trailer ect..

Ill let the pictures do most of the talking with a couple of notes here and there.

I ONLY EVER SEEM TO CARRY MY DAMM IPHONE SO DONT EXPECT ANY QUALITY FROM THE PICTURES JUST YET

All comments welcome good or bad

Demon Motor Sport Engine Hoses

Painted the engine block and gearbox

Tegiwa Toda Rep Header

AEM V2

BC Racing Coilovers

Just a few bits and bobs:

Spoon B-Pipe:

Toyosport Radiator:

D1 Spec Nuts:

Brakes and Coilovers fitted also did a spot of freshening up with the hammerite:

New Adjustible decat pipe, old one looked too old against the full new spoon system:

Oil, Filter, Spark Plugs and anodised washers:

 

[Dale10ellis10]

Decided to get my bumper painted and got the number paint holes smoothed while it was there:

Wheels back on, bit of camber to see what it would look like, this will be changed when I get all the suspension set-up:

Bumper fitted:

Most things bolted back up under the engine bay:

New rear anti roll bar drop links from Honda £94.50 :O

Managed to get eveything bolted back up, oil ect changed and got her fired up after a 6 month of not being turned over.

Not the best pictures as the sun was too bright and I only had my phone yet again, oh and it was still covered in dust 6 month of not being washed

Missed out a few things i dont have pictures for.
Much more too come, new wheels and tyres, roll cage, new ecu, ect..

Thanks for looking, keep an eye out for updates

Dale.
