Hey everyone! My name is Von and I drive a '98 Civic hatchback and it's also my project car. Iv'e owned this car for two years now and since I have put a fair amount of time fixing and working on it now, I thought it's worth sharing and starting a thread on here now.
(btw, please bear with my english/writing as I'm still not that good in speaking in english)



I started working on this car in September 2011 so I'll just do a quick re-cap on it until we get to the present status of the project.



A little background of the cars I owned before I got the hatchback.



We moved here in Canada in 2009 and this was my first car, 1992 DA Integra RS.

My 2nd car, 1996 Civic coupe. I still have the integra when I had this coupe, was planning on keeping the coupe as my project car that's why I swapped in an LS/Vtec engine on it but as soon as I got the engine running I found out that it's blown and would need a rebuild. so I just decided to sell the car cause it needs some bodywork done too and plus I really wanted a hatchback.







and My 3rd car, 1998 Civic hatchback the project car.

Start of the build:

SEPTEMBER 2011

When I first got the car, no engine just a rolling shell.




tried putting on my old rims





OCTOBER 2011



since it's almost winter I parked the car and started buying parts for it to make it driveable again.






first part that I bought, used ViS racing carbon fiber hood







NOVEMBER 2011



a few more parts for the build, most of these parts came off my brothers car in the Philippines







I went to the junkyard to look for a front bumper but got this instead






OEM window visor's



DECEMBER 2011



went to the junkyard again to look for a front bumper and fenders but got this instead lol




complete power window, lock, side mirror conversion with tweeter pods






JANUARY 2012


more parts for the build :D







and finally bought an engine for the car












FEBRUARY 2012


got more parts









it's getting warm that time so I decided to put wheels on the car to get it towed to the body shop


















shot of the engine bay











MARCH 2012, Spring time!


a few more parts






















snow started to melt so I decided to get it towed to the body shop












previous owner adjusted the coilover's too low, good thing there was no bumper otherwise it wouldn't make it lol












I visited the car in the body shop after two days to check on the progress







bumper and fender prepping for painting





rust fixed




then after 4 days I went back to the shop and here's how it looks now



all painted! the only downside is they weren't able to mach perfectly the color cause the paint of the whole car is starting to fade(red car problems). but I didn't care that much cause it's not going to be a show car anyway.








at this point I was so excited to start working on the car and put back together all the parts, so I got it towed right away back in our garage to start working on it.





finally home! let the work begin!





I started installing the front lca and swaybar







took off all the masking tape and cleaned the subframe





I put the rest of the body parts in the basement for the mean time to avoid getting it scratched while working on the car









then after 3 days of working on the engine bay



rats nest harness lol



I also painted the heat shield to gave it a fresh look





and then the next day fedex guy dropped this off our door





ITR 23mm rear sway bar







spent more time on the engine bay again and here's how it looks now, all it's missing now is the engine.





I mounted the b16 post mount bracket on the engine









and then on the weekend I called some of my friends to help me drop the engine.

we didn't have an engine hoist so ghetto style engine install









and finally the engine is in!

and bought another part



1 month left before autocross season starts so I decided to take off the old suspension that came with the car, perfect timing cause someone is looking for a set of shock/coilover combo so I managed to sell it right away.




old suspension



test fitted the headlight, gave it a polish too cause there's some haze on it.




I got too excited after i got the engine running so I did a quick test drive around the block lol






up and running



4x4 status



and did a mild launch to test the lsd differential

I finally got it to pass safety inspection and registered, so I started installing some of the parts that are waiting to be installed :D

then a few weeks after...

I installed the front lip, wasn't much happy with the fitment being a replica but I just had to make it work cause it's hard to find an OEM one here in the city that's why I just settled with a replica one for now.

MAY 2012


autocross season has started but my car is not ready yet, so I asked my friend if I can co-drive with him in his '98 coupe and he agreed.


some pictures

WSCC Autocross
















no video footage though, didn't have the time to set-up the camera mount.


JUNE 2012


after a month of waiting, the rear subframe, adjustable end links and rear lower control arm finally came in. now I can finally install the rear swaybar

in the summer every friday here in the city there's a meet organized by a local forum called toptierimports.com went there for the first time and some members took a photo of my car.







then the next day it was race day, it was the first time I'm racing the hatch and was so excited and nervous at the same time cause I have a feeling that something might happen....

and I was right.. this happened...

http://www.flickr.com/photos/51799266@N02/7154502977/http://www.flickr.com/photos/51799266@N02/7154502977/ by http://www.flickr.com/people/51799266@N02/, on Flickr

right at the starting line I was about to launch and after I released the clutch I was surprised the car didn't go, I thought the gear popped out to neutral so I tried putting it in gear again but still didn't go. so I went out and popped the hood looked around the engine bay to see what happened, and there I saw the axle split into two pieces lol . I have a spare axle back in the garage so I borrowed my friends car and rushed home to get the spare axle to get the car up and running again but it's just not my day, after I swapped out the axle and assembled it all back the axle popped out as soon as I tried reversing the car lol . I wasn't able to insert the axle all the way in the transmission cause I'm so in a rush to finish it for the run, so I just left it like that and dealt with it again after the race. I just ended up co-driving in my friends car again lol


after that weekend went for another friday meet

and since my torque mounts are all busted up I bought a set of new torque mounts, I went with an aftermarket one cause the price is almost the same as the oem ones plus this will probably last twice or thrice the oem ones. the only down side was the car now vibrates like crazy even on idle because of the torque mounts lol




after one weekend went and tried my luck again at autocross

Good looking car. I agree the fitment on the lip is poor. Have you had any luck finding an OEM one?

Engine bay looks great.

bonspeed

thanks! the engine bay doesn't look as good as in that picture now though, too many chips now


and as for the lip, I was able to source out one from brampton,ON but the guy doesn't want to ship it I might just get one when I go for my trip this january in the Philippines, I'll have more luck finding one there than here lol

Bluto!

nice run man, very clean pass. Car looks great to nice build.

bonspeed

thank you! tomorrow I'll post more of the build.


but for now, I'll just greet a Happy New year to everyone!

AUGUST 2012

I got too excited to put on the carbon hood so even if I haven't re-cleared it yet I went and installed it


http://www.flickr.com/photos/51799266@N02/7682234684/http://www.flickr.com/photos/51799266@N02/7682234684/ by http://www.flickr.com/people/51799266@N02/, on Flickr


Then that same month there was a charity carshow event that was organized by a honda dealership here in the city, the cancer care manitoba. My friend(Neil) who owns a printing shop and decal cutting(bomexgraphics) business asked me if he can get my car to be displayed at the show to promote his business, I really didn't want to do it cause my car is really not show worthy but since it's a charity event anyway plus I'll be able to help him so I gave in and registered my car for the event. It rained that day but still was a successful event.


here's my car at the event feeling like a show car lol with bomex graphics decals on it.


note: I just borrowed those bride seats from Neil and te37's from a friend of mine cause I know people would hate on my rotamaster's lol














me wiping off the rims lol















then some other cars that were on the show



















after that event it was race day again!

and a couple of shots again from our regular friday meet

andre3wap

Great build man, I love the hatch. Check out my thread when you can I have a 00 red hatch too.

Progen

Liking the build man.. Couldn't help notice your still running stock breaks upfrnot and no disc brakes at the back... would help it alot i'd imagine.. something i'm going to be doing when the b18c goes in mine..

RotiEatter

iTrader: (1)

Nice car man.

bonspeed

thanks! and yeah I'll check out your build thread for sure!

good eye man, i'm actually running integra front brakes(same as EX,Si/R) I just forgot to take pictures of it when I installed it. though at those pictures yeah i'm still using rear drums, I do have a set of rear discs but didn't get a chance to install them until last summer. so in my next few updates you will see that I already swapped the rear drums out.

thanks man!

Progen

Sounds good man. integra SiR brakes are a nice upgrade alright. What rears did you go for? I'm thinking I want honda accord type r brake upgrade with drilled/grooved discs and an uprated pad. Good choice in tyres and brakes = faster lap times :D

Oh and how do you find the anti roll bar? One of my next upgrades also.

Rude Awakening

Good thread. And as for the lip, even though its a rep, at least you didnt get that 99-00 style rep. I hate that thing on other cars. LOL.

bonspeed

I went with integra rear discs cause it's hard to find a set of used em1's here in our city. and as for the sway bar it feels pretty good, it's just a bit bouncy in the rear when i'm driving in the city but in autocross it feels very good.

my thoughts exactly lol everyone has it on their cars just so they can say they have a "type r" lip

continuation:

SEPTEMBER 2012

last 4 events of autocross season, after the last event I took off some of the parts and installed the oem ones for winter storage.


I finally got tires for my daily SiR rims, put away the slipstreams for the meantime to save the tires for autocross.

and that's it for 2012

bryan_lo

where did you get your ctr lip? i'm in the market for one and can't for out the money for a new real one. I was thinking of the PU ctr lip from passwordJDM.

bonspeed

I got it from a local shop here, i'm pretty sure it's the same one as the one on ebay. and the one I have is PU and IMO I don't recommend it, yeah it's more durable than plastic but it doesn't fit well and paint doesn't stick on it well too.





and a few more pictures of the car back in summer 2012
