rwd eg13
hi all
ive been into hondas for years now and allways loved rwd cars but i dont like s2000's or the look of nissans , so thought about building a rwd civic.
so 2 years ago i started to research every thing i needed to do aswell as teach my self the the skills to carry it out.
ive had the civic for 2 years now ,so i cut out all the rust and give it a full respray by me and bought my self a s13.
the civic
the s13
so the plan is
front end
cut part of the firewall and tunnel out the civic and fit the s13 one in
make a frame to bolt the front crossmember to and mount the engine ,all the hubs ,suspension and links will be s13 .
rear end
cut the boot floor out and mount the rear end to the civic.
im going to be using the full s13 car loom aswell just swap some plugs over to fit the civic lights and clocks.
the wheel base of a civic is 98mm longer than a s13 so the prop should be fit but if not i'll get one made.
good thing is this swap has been done in japan befor but they used a s2000 engine and box ,so i can see what works and want does not .
nothing flash on the out side of the car just a nice clean looking car.
any help would be great

Re: rwd eg13
thanks
the reason i went with the s13 is its been done befor in japan so i could see what wanted doing and were to cut but they used a s2000 engine and box

awesome build. i owned a s13 CA18 when i was in japan. I traded my SR 180sx for it. so I really enjoy the motor. can't wait to see this build knocked out.

i did want a sr20det but buying a s14 would have been more than i wanted to pay for a car to just cut up, i can allways put the sr in later on so i went with the s13

Re: rwd eg13
ok not dont much in the past couple of weeks with me going on my hols and starting a new job but i had a day spare so got the 200 ready for the scrap man
ANY ONE KNOW WHAT ALL THESE PLUGS ARE FOR :wacko:
THEN I GOT CUTTING , ALSO CUT THE SHOCKER TOPS OFF ,i need to graft them into the civic's bay so i can use the 200's front suspension ,if i used the civic suspension id have no way of altering the front camber.
RETANED ALL THE MOUNTING POINTS FOR THE GEARBOX PROPSHAFT AND THE HAND BREAK FULL ASSEMBLY

Re: rwd eg13
bit more done befor the wife draged me out
but it was the type of job i could not rush and every thing had to be spot on, also made a jig for the center of the wheels but never took a pic.
as you can see the car is level and so is the subframe
nnnnnaaaaaaa wrong way
this is how the subframe will be bolted to the box section that will be welded to the chassis
