badboy civic 2.3 turbo saab engine

thought i would start a project thread for my civic 2.3 engine conversion. theres still loads to do but iam getting there, heres a few pics.my plans for ther car are to get it running and resprayed bigger turbo and turn the boost up, then get it on the rollers and see what it can do. the engine is going to be resprayed and the engine bay/car. i need some ideas on what colour to spray the car after its done i was thinking white with black wheels.

fair play for trying somthing new

this looks like its gonna b intressing fair do's for going outside the box its a pity u couldnt of put it in the back mmmm rear wheel drive civic

cant wait to see this man...

keep up the work, also what engine have you just taken out, (looks like a d16z6) what have you done with the engine?

Nice!

Any colour will look nice as long as its clean and you dont spray the bits that are suppsed to be black (the grills etc).

Why did you decide to change the pedals? setup looks sick though, this thing will feel like a propper racer with those pedals.

thanks guys

the car was an auto and i couldnt find another car to get the pedels off so i just welded a new peddle box in. but the peddles feel really light and nice to use.

ezza the cars a shit purple at te moment lol, ive seen a few with the side strips taken off and just painted, so i might have a go at doing that ill see how good the body is when i start preping it.

ive got the new gearbox now and ive had a go at fitting it today but ive got to weld the hole in the flywheel and have it turned out when everywhere opens back up next week.so the gearbox and engine shoul be in by next week. iam on the look out for an lsd for it iam thinking with that much power it will drive like shit with an open diff.
