updates

started on the rearend, we got all the front end together so we could see how every thing lined up and the ground clearance .









bang on.







back on the lift to start on the rear end











sneaky look at how every thing looks under the car, still needs welding but i need to stick it on the rotisery to do that





















think i need some spacers , the eg rear end is wider than the s13











started making the mounting point for the rearend

Holy sacrilege... I LOVE IT!
Props on taking on the project. Funny that everybody here is supportive, but if you were to put this on a Nissan forum, oh man..
Keep up the good work, can't wait to see the finished product!

Maybe its because most people can appreciate the fact that this build is challenging, creative, and being performed with a high level of professionalism. I'm fully supportive, considering I'm a CA18DET fanboy as well. I love that engine.


I do have a couple questions, though.

1. By removing the "beams" that normally run along the exhaust tunnel in the Civic, did you lose any rigidity in the chassis?
2. Why not run a wider wheel in the rear, since you've got the added space? Spacers aren't necessary then.

thanks for the replys and the question.

Can't say I'm not surprised. But that's a good thing, maybe the scene's finally coming around and we can all get along! haha
But Matt's right, it's harder to hate something when it's being done the right way.
Keep the updates comin!
