My EK/Ej Civic HB rebuild to V6 powered 56k beware


moar updates

-Thanks to EK9 member Tama666, for pointing me in the right direction for a small Radiator. ChaseBays Radiator tuck. So i can have more clearance for my turbo. bigger turbo piping aswell. Ill also get the j pipe cut and re-position the turbo for better clearance. Also finally get a filter on it or cold air tube attached.

Hopefully get more of the engine bay tucked and etc. here are some mock up pictures of what it somewhat look like.

FINALLY!!!! fighting the endlessly seemingly battle with sanding. i finished the carbon fiber skinning. UV clear coat and cut and buff. then drilled the washer holes "but need to make bigger to fit. i think it came out awesome for the first try.

also removed the eye brows. wasn't fitting my taste for now. XD.

i wish, there not finished with my stuff yet. harness 50% and radiator tuck 75%. so it gives me a bit more time to wire tuck things.
 
Always happy to see new updates on this build thread but when I clicked on this page I immediately thought it had been in a bump and my heart sank.

Luckily it's just more progress, :) From your interior pictures I can see the centre dash is from a facelift ek9, was it easy installing this into your ek.
 
Epic build! The car has had a few different looks but tbh the way it is just now is the best so far! looks lovely.. Just get the twinloop exhaust on and it will look much better at the back :nice:

Thank lol, as for the dash, its actually my stock dash. minus dying it black, changing the heater core to power, center vents, dash wiring, and climate controls. i done the whole swap in 2 hours. Only messy thing was heater core coolent hose lol.
