Finally some pics of my EF...and eg..and cd!! (UPDATED y0!!)

After i promised you some a few weeks ago, i finally got round to taking some pictures of the EF's lol! ( appologise in advance for the shite phone piccys)

First up the daily beater, CRX 16v! Just lowered on some wedssports for now, trying to resist spending money on it!




Then the project! Civic 16v with, full SiR front end, SiR rear bumper, SiR lips and skirts, SiR rear spoiler, stripped out interior, Just need a spray now then i can continue with fitting the D16a9 with my homemade turbo kit! Lots and lots of work to do yet

I'll write up my build up soon if anyones interested...

Time to drag this outa the archieves!! Grab a can, its a long read!!

Still going at this project, moneys preety tight though, so ive been doing what i can when i can!

I'll start with the daily drivers...Sold the CRX and bought a civic DX! Looked mint, but was a pain in the arse on the motorway!! Went well though on a set of GL twin carbs!




So it was swapped for my current DD! Unfortunalty it meant the Wedsports Kurage wheels went with it! Anyway the current.. CD9 accord coupe!! 'in!!

So now thats out of the way... i'll get onto the real project! I'll start from the very begining!!

Started in Oct 06... I was so sick of trying to get stuff done on my car, ready to drive it to work the next morning etc that i thought it was about time to do a project properly! So the hunt began for something Honda, unique, lightweight and one which had plenty of aftermarket parts available.

Picked up this 1990 Civic 16i16 for 500 quid! Preety clean and ran well, but up close the body work needed alot of attention! Rust had taken over grr





Strip down started....





My mate removing all the sounded deadening! This stuff weighs a ton!


Out came the D16 motor..


Collection of parts begins.. SiR front end which i test fitted for any problems..



SiR Rear...



SiR Spoiler..


D2's




Honda Jazz washer jets! Sprays a mist over the whole screen!


New Badges


Braided lines to go with my EF9 262mm setup. The 16i16 comes with rear discs standard.


And its new heart...Just a B16a1 (for now!)


Then after trawling the web, started to find a few bargins, a genuine top fuel intake (need a new filter though)


Front camber adjusters to go in my OEM top arms


Spoon style mirrors


New rear arches to replace my rotton ones!

Through the summer 07, i was struggling for someone to take on the project of preping and spraying the whole car!

So while i was waiting i decided to prep the engine bay myself...The bay was smoothed and all offending items which wern't going to be used grinded off!

My dad removing some offending items!


Grinding out the spot welds


Removing fuel filter bracket (wont bed needing this with my new setup!)


Removed all the excess seam sealer, and smoothed over all the spot welds



More parts turned up while i was waiting...


J's Racing front lip! These are Uber rare in the UK! Only 3 over here!

ITR Master Cylinder


Remote battery terminals...


ITR Shift boot


Then on the 21/09/07 it got collected pimp my ride style and got whisked away to Wrightons body shop in Redditch!


This then gave me chance the clean they engine up before the shell came back..
With a bit of help, managed to get it up on the engine stand.


Gave it a dremel and laid down some primer.


Painted


Also recieved my Exedy stage 1 kit.


Exedy lightened flywheel, energy suspension bushings. PWO ecu with a custom map inc launch control,shift light,vtec moved to 5300rpm etc, some mugen numberplate bolts and a few skunk2 parts..


Ordered some fresh decals..

I then recieved a big order from stateside! First big thanks to Summit Racing for the Battery relocation kit! Very good quality, and top service!



The my bits came in from Weksos Industries..
Then weksos came in..Koyo full legth twin core Aluminuim Radiator.




Hasport conversion mounts


Skunk2 Gearknob and short shifter kit




Cusco lower arm bar


Sourced some wind deflectors from a company in Germany! Very good quality, as good as the OEM ones ive seen.


And some VT dials so my RPM's will be correct! Check out the mileage [smilie=ohmy.gif]


I then got some pictures from the bodyshop...




And the colour im going for....Java Black pearl taken from an 04 Subaru Impreza STi..




I love the colour and think it will suit the EF down to the ground!

And after paint..



Engine bay..




Weather sucked... was hoping for some sunshine so i could show you the bronze in the paint! Looks amazing!

And got started fitting my coilovers...
Before....Filler dust FTL


After



Shitty picture of underneath. Couldn't get back far enough as the teg was in the way

I was then on the lookout for a roll cage. After searching i came up with this...

6 point OMP cage, with optional weld on door bars!


I refurbed some old RAZO pedals i had lying around..


Spoon Rad cap was ordered as the OEM one was too small :DD


Summit also came in again


Inside....


Inside was my new fuel setup. Will eliminate the stock filter and the masses of crap which comes with it. Not good for a tucked bay.

Flywheel was fitted..


Along with Clutch and the new release bearing..


Quickly tried the box on to make sure everything was aligned 100%


And later that week was dropped into the shell! along with my new hubs and coilovers! Its slammed [smilie=ohmy.gif]




Then finished tucking some of the wiring down the wings..


And the latest...

My Recaro Pole Positions, Schroth Harness' and Momo wheel with snap off boss...Still need to take them out of my mates EG!



And a cusco rep brake master cylinder brace


What do you think so far? Its been a slow and steady build, but all the work except the body has been done by myself and ive spent what i have earned! Its all about BUILT NOT BOUGHT for me!

Hoping to have it on the road for Summer Wish me luck :DD
