Looks great! Not that your build isn't great, but I expected it to be a F series since that was the title to an article in HondTuning so that's what I thought you got it from for some reason.

Re: My 95 Civic Si getting a HEART TRANSPLANT
Thank you sir.
Thanks Ill post more pics once everythings in:
ITR rears
NRG harness bar
NRG hub, quick release, lock/key
Racequip harnesses
Going to redo headliner and door panels with Recaro black artista fabric
Get my ITR steering wheel upholstered
Thank you
Thought I would keep it B plus I didnt want to get rid of my ac/ps I already had.
It was originally going to be a h2b build but kept getting flaked on long blocks so ended up finding some good *** deals for this build and I already had most of the stuff needed from my previous swap.

Well I haven't updated this in a while so.......
The build is coming along very well, will post tons of pics when my buddy Allen gets a chance. I'll be taking leave sometime next month (November) to go help prep, clean, etc to drop in the monster and take to ycu to get tuned.
On a side note I was on my way to work and got into an pretty nasty wreck. Pics of the damage....
TOTALED!!!!!!!!!
So since I'm such a nice husband I bought her a new car.
New 2013 Honda Accord Sport
Are those paddle shifters I see?
Put 50miles on her
40mpg plz

Re: My 95 Civic Si getting a HEART TRANSPLANT
So its been a while since I updated but I'm back with alot of updates and pictures!
I decided to take some leave to come home for the holidays and try and finish my build at the same time.
Soooooooo on with the goods..............
I'm going to start off with the ITR rear seats. I bought them off CH and wasn't really happy with there current state when I recieved them; Tops pretty badly faded, super dirty and I was given the wrong bottoms. Hopefully he pulls through and switches the bottoms with the correct ones well any ways pictures.
So I refused to just throw them in my car so decided to try and restore them.
- Kiwi suade cleaner
- Suade & nubuck cleaning kit
- Elbow grease
Going to start with the driver side rear.
BEFORE
AFTER
Passenger side rear.
BEFORE
AFTER
So once I got them all nice and clean I had to clean the hatch of the car before I put them in.
BEFORE
PROCESS (ELBOW GREASE)
AFTER
Well got it all cleaned and set the tops in....
Then the finished product. I didnt clean the bottoms because I'm just going to rip them out once I get the correct bottoms so I just made them look presentable till then.
Well once I got the rears put in I decided to rip out all my gray trim pieces, headliner, and door panels.
This was such a bitch getting out!
Ok so I got everything I needed out and ready for changes.
Headliner - Wrap in black suade
Gray trim pieces - paint with black OEM trim paint
Door panels - Wrap in red suade
So for the wrap I got a good friend to work his magic at J & W auto salon. Purchased wrap from Joannes crafts 2.25 yrds of black suade, 1.5 yrds of red suade and got the adhessive from Advance Auto.
PROCESS
Door panel materials
- Adhesive
- Choice of fabric
- 36 sheet metal screws
- 36 washers
Headliner material
- Adhesive
- Choice of fabric
Well job well done so went straight home and got on putting the door panels back together and painting the trim pieces.
Well I just got my NEW pistons in for the 3rd time need to go drop them off at the machine shop I'll continue with the updates once I get back.

This hatch is looking nice! I like your attention to detail and really taking the time to clean stuff. All your mods look clean and congrats on the new Accord! Looks great!

Re: My 95 Civic Si getting a HEART TRANSPLANT
For the Trim I used 3 cans of Dupli-color OEM black trim paint
HONDA life
Now time to reinstall everything including my harness bar I got from a buddy of mine.
First will throw in the door panels
Headliner
All the little headliner peices
Harness and harness bar
Interior COMPLETE!!!! (Except for arm rest I got my wifes grandma to do it in red suade for me from the left over material.)
Now since thats complete started working on engine crape and my bay so I started off with the transmission.
It was pretty ******* disgusting so had to break out the heavy weapons.
Finished cleaning it all up now time to prep and spray.
Now just waiting to get back block and head from the machine shop they were closed today because of the holidays so check with them again tomorrow.

Sup man! Soo listen I heard you keep on adding **** to your hatchback instead of building a PC. Weren't you supposed to build one a year ago, now all you do is leave your boys hanging while they wait for their fourth!

Re: My 95 Civic Si getting a HEART TRANSPLANT
Great work! Love the progress on the interior and the "back yard build" kind of feel to this thread. Especially love that you are DOING IT YOURSELF and not "dropping it off at the shop" like half the builds on here.
NC representing too!
Keep it up, Dan

Re: My 95 Civic Si getting a HEART TRANSPLANT
So I was looking at all the hose clips and they were gross so decided to put my handy dandy tumbler to work.
Using fine crushed walnut and a little bit of polish.
You can see that the polished clamps are nice and shiney, the others came all really clean too. Would have got them cleaner but all I had was the walnut.
Couple pics of the block
