cheers guys, going to order a new battery once car is complete, most likely an oddessey or a varley redtop, however if you placed it behind the passenger seat it's impossible to access from either door, and requires climbing in through the back which isn't really workable in an emergency or even...

Decided to roll the arches aswell to give me an extra few mm, not critical but getting quite tight with the wider wheels on. Before During After ......some extra car porn....because why not =)

Hey, Cheers for the positive comments and queries, I had looked at a few possible locations when moving the battery, including safety, practicality, accessibility and weight distribution and ended up pitting it where it is. The previous pics don't really do justice to the way it is mounted, thus...

Cheers all, The cage is a custom cages FIA certified multipoint, http://www.customcages.co.uk/Rollcage/LoadRollCage.castle?manufacturer=Honda&model=Civic%20%27R%27%20EK4&type=Multipoint I'm based in Ireland / Northern, will most likley only being doing Irish tarmac events in the short term, Got...

And one final post for tonight, she’s as good as complete now (until my arm is twisted and power corrupts), so hopefully some off you may see her in action in the not to distant future, Cheers, hope you enjoyed viewing, Mark The front end complete The engine bay in a state of near...

Back underside quarter looking remarkably photogenic The 282s The old front bumper and a splitter I got in a breakers yard sitting (duct taped in place) for visualisation Some spare wheels, (in the process of painting them)

New Wheels =) ProRace 1.2 with et30 offset Front Quarter Rear Quarter, a bit more clearance with these Underneath Front end without the bumper

I replaced the fronts with 282mm Intergra Type R units, thus clearance is almost non-existent with the Sparco wheels, (1.5mm gap) Some touch ups inside to the while paint Arches painted white too Finally beginning to look the part Homemade guard to isolate the air intake...

Haven’t logged on here as much as I had planned to when I created this post, thus the lack of updates, not sure if many people are interested, nut for the purposes of completion, I have attached some links to progress made over the last few months, 99% there now =) Still some minor wiring to...

Final upload for now, the front end starting to take shape I'v relocated the battery into the back quarter aswell Starting to get to the causmetic stages now, harnesses, intercom etc all in now The interior begining to look like the final article, hydraulic handbrake and brake bias...

Half a day later Got an Intergra Type R intake manifold bolted on too, Brakes, clutch, oil catch tank, fire suppression system and cooling al hooked up at this stage too

Interior progressing well, time to bite the bullet and put the engine in, Jap B16A with relitivley low kms, Although before I fitted it Idid stick in a Type R lightened Fly, Helix paddle clutch and pressure plate And replaced the factory LSD with a Kazz diff Not sure where this...

Whats the old saying.....one step forward two steps back ???? Decided to take out the central console and replace it with a fiberglass model, There is a serios amount of wiring back there so changing it primarily to reduce the risk of shorting and secondary for cosmetic reasons. Gauges and...

Now back to the interior, I wanted a single central console which was ergonomic, looked half decent, held everything in one place and minimised clutter, I started with various cardboard templates before making this out of sheet steel. I wanted to relocate the main fuse box inside for...

Cheers, some more uploads to come, not finished just quite yet (the car and the updates).......... Time to get back to work on the suspension and brakes. Stuck with the standard ek4 brakes for now, planning to upgrade at some point but just cant justify spending £3000 on Brembos just yet...

Usually keep the shed a bit tidier than this.........was working late that night, thats my excuse. Think I spent just over 30 hours on it that weekend. The first time I looked at it and felt I was making progress toward completion......in hindsight probably a bit over optimistic =)

Having the suspension in give me my mechanical fix at the time so back to the interior I went, managed to get my hands on a set of fiberglass door cards Brilliant job just needed some minor trimming to get them to fit You may have spotted the nozzels in the last few pics, I fitted the...

So its time to start some mechanical work. First thing to do is organise what parts I have and don't have, I had bought this EK4 shell years ago as a basis but decided against using it as it has a small amount of accident damage on one of the front arms. First plan of attack was to get this out...

Some of you may have noticed in the last few pictures I had also started to bring the brake and fuel lines trough the chassis. The next few pics show under the bonnet, as I brings these braided lines through and begin hooking up the front section of the loom. All the windows were put back in...

At this stage I dropped the idea of doing the mechanical work for now and decided fitting the wiring loom and electronics should take priority, to do this the dash needed to go back in. I cut a small section out of each side up as far as the small vents to allow it to fit back in around the...
