why does it continue to eat tires? bad camber?? and about your axles snapping alot.. there is a way to prevent that from happeneing sooo much. have you learned the preLoad method of launching yet?.

- Fri Feb 18, 2011 2:02 pm #239529 So this project is about to take a really good turn. I got a daily driver from my step dad and he told me to take my civic off the road and build it the way I want to build it. So that's exactly what I started. The tear down has begun. The motor is not out yet but as youll see in the pics its almost ready. Anyway, on to some pictures.

The daily
Image

Going to re-do this whole thing
Image

Motor about ready to get dropped
Image

Getting suspension pieces painted or powdercoated so the spindles are out
Image

How she sits today

Image

So over the next few days I want to get the motor dropped out. I will do all the maintenance on it and maybe get the head built. More pics as the work is done. :woot:

- Tue Mar 15, 2011 3:23 am #243966 Ok so no huge update here other than the decision has been made to go boost. Unsure of what I want as of right now but I am definitely beginning the "quest for boost." :woot:

Got some parts in over the past week or so. Here's some pics
Image
Image
Image

Here is the wink installed. Very simple but I am going to write a DIY on here for it.
Image

Then I started to strip more stuff out of the bay, like the clutch line (buying stainless steel replacement) and some more ghetto wiring.
Image

Finally I started on the interior. I ripped the nasty carpet out and took the seats out. The interior is pretty much stripped. Just have to vac everything up and clean it up before I take the sound deadening out.
Image
Image

Just to give you a hint about the rats nest i have to fix.
Image

That is it for today. With class starting up again updates will be slow but I only have six weeks left. This weekend I am buying paint and an engine stand and putting a deposit on a nice turbo:thumb:
