Been on the forum for a while, though id put my build up for my eg civic, copied this from Itr dc2
This is my first build up thread. i had a silver b18c-eg last year, which i wrote off, i salvaged pretty much most the parts and made a bit of money of it. kept the running gear as the engine was running perfect (no burning oil and pulled goood) got it compression tested, and the results came out good. forgot the exact figures.
So i though id do a project, i found a full rolling shell from drmikey, which was a k20 eg! this is what it looked like when i got it.

(taken from an old thread)
The shell is stripped out from the inside, apart from dashboard, which i will be replacing with a black one. i have the old interior from my other car, so will transfer over the bits. the arches are mint, and the respray is in pirates black, which i think looks good in the sun light
I then purchased some 5050 rear lights off matty.
The fitment is okay. i got bored of the standard lights at the back.
I sold the itr brake set up and wheels. and put that money towards my new brake set up.
I got some front and rear hubs from an Esi civic. which i got them shotblasted.
Got the legend twinpots shotblasted 2, the first things i bought were better brakes, i had a **** set up before and it really effected the car. so doing it right this time.
Painted them trailing arms with hammerite (also painted the front hubs but no pics)
I painted the legend calipers red
Not such a good job, but was in a hurry to get them on, probably will shot blast them and paint them properly at a later date.
I bought some new wheels too, not sure if they would look good with the car. but **** it.
15inch Rota track R's with toyo t1r. the colour of the track rs are rare, i havent seen them before. got them of matty 2.
Legent twinpots fitted with brand new EBC Yellow stuff pads and ebc blank disks. also with Hel Red braided brake lines front and back
For the rear i am running ek9 calipers, blank disks bought from a motor factors, and oem pads
The back with apexi lowering springs and itr shocks (came with car)
