Civic EG Track Build

[Dan_RS1]

So I have a K reg civic EG 1.6 lsi auto 40k, full service history etc and in pretty mint condition...

Plans - JDM B18 conversion - currently seeking an engine an box 96 or 98 spec JDM, dizzy, shafts etc etc...

I was planning on doing a k20a conversion however the price to do the conversion is a tad expensive.

Its booked in for a full respray at the end of the month - engine GT3RS Blue, Shell and inside focus RS frozen white, wheels DC2 dished wheels in GT3RS blue.

I already have - BC coilovers, Carbon duck lip spoiler (will be going white though), Chipped ECU, Big disc conversion with brembo discs and ds2500 pads, light weight pulley, tegiwa control arms.

So some pictures and a bit of progress...

I have also taken the carpet out the front now and removed the lead sound deadening out.

a bit messy inside the car

Removed the arch liners and skirts wire brushed inside lip of the arches and cleaned them up then my quick prep skills haha had no newspaper or maskin paper so blue roll it was (over spray is not important as its having a full respray) etch primed the inside lip of the arches and skirts and then coated with black hammerite to keep them mint and rust free.

I will be going down tomorrow to underseal the arches and ill take some pictures of what iv done and bits that iv got...

Thats as far as iv got so far....

tell me about it haha, any tips on getting the remains of it off? I was thinking a scraper of some sort.

 

[eternal blue 2000]

use a heavy duty cleaning solvent to take away the remains of the sound deadening.

check out youtube as there is other ways of removing that horrible stuff by means of freezing it,but seems you only have the residue left now.

looks like a very clean eg you got yourself

 

[Pneuma]

Well iv been busy....

So it got to the body shop towards the end of november and was finished my middle of December...changed my mind on the colour

Then after Boxing Day decided it was time to get my finger out as there was alot to do and my friend Dom the Honda Geek cracked on!

Day 1 - Engine in and Suspension and Lower Arms on

End of Day one -

Day 2 - Finish the engine off and get it running and fit the MB6 big breaks - EBC vented discs and ferrodo DS2500 pads and hel braded lines and fit tires to wheels as steelies wont fit when brakes are on...

Engine started but has a missfire...checked the HT leads and they were on wrong so swapped them over fired her back up and she lives and run well!

Day 3 - Rocker cover off and sprayed, bit more tidying up under the bay and put a temporary manifold on for now until i get a teguiwa manifold. Also finished doing some exterior bits mud guards arch liners front bumper carbon bits etc

My Favourite till last...

Tuesday i purchased some bits from teguiwa and also brought a pair of...

Today I had the exhaust made and fitted... I have a Spoon N1 rep off neil on here, customer 2.5 inch centre section with middle box and a custom 2.5 inch test pipe.

Next is to detail the whole car, and start on the interior, fit some things I have and tidy the engine bay.
