well ive had my integra at the current setup for 2 years now and ran an 11.750 at 120 mph leaving it in 3rd gear and backed it up with the run after with an 11.80 at 118 mph. i have everything but a clutch to put the 6765 ball bearing billet on my car and need to do a cage so i am legal at the track but i cant put a cage through the perfect interior of the teg so i bought this 1993 civic hatch for 750 bucks and started working on it

Start with the pictures

Here are the pics of what the car looked like when i bought it minus the stock spoiler i took off to trade to someone.







Here is a pic of the engine and engine bay

I got rear disk conversion for the car and decided to sand blaster and paint all of the parts



And here is a pic of the calipers black ones are with all the nasty grease and dirt on them and the new looking ones are after sand blasting

I also removed all the sound deadener out of the car (dry ice works AMAZING!!) also removed all the seat belts and speakers out of the car.

here are pics of the engine bay getting ready to start shaving the bay

phantom_bcw84

We should be taking it over to my buddies house this weekend to start shaving the bay. we will start with welding up all the holes that are not needed and making fill in plates for the bigger holes and getting those welded in there. start grinding all the welds down smooth. then we will start removing the seam sealer and hopefully start putting the filler in to get everything smooth.

hoping to get atleast some of the bondo in this weekend but we will see how fast we work. After we get the engine bay ready for paint we will do the body work on the car and weld up the side molding holes and then paint the bay and the body. after the body and bay are painted i will be running the -8 feed and -6 return for the fuel system and put the dual 340 pumps in the tank. Then it will be ready to start transferring everything over from the integra to the civic.

phantom_bcw84

thanks! hoping to get a lot of the engine bay shaving done tomorrow and sunday and will post progress pics. should be able to get all the holes welded up and the plates made for the bigger holes and welded in also. then the grinding begins

phantom_bcw84

Ok got some work done on the engine bay. got all the studs cut off the firewall and grinded down and all the unwanted holes wire wheeled and ready to be welded. i REALLY REALLY hope i dont weld up any holes that i need!! tomorrow we should be welding up all the holes and getting the sheet metal plugs made for the bigger holes as well.

Very nice start, clean car.

phantom_bcw84

Well we started and got most of the holes welded up. There is a crap ton of holes in a honda bay its insane. spent all day welding holes and making plates to fill the bigger holes. next up is grinding everything down smooth and move to the next step.

phantom_bcw84

phantom_bcw84

Good old ABQ. I lived out there for just under 4 years, well I was stationed thereat Kirtland AFB. I liked living as close as I did to the dragstrip. Luckily I was there when they reopened it and I used to frequent it with my 1992 Sentra SE-R and went a few times with my EG hatch.

Good luck with it.

phantom_bcw84

nice ya i live in rio rancho so it takes a while to get to the drag strip but i love going even when i dont take my car!

thanks its a lot of work. should be starting with the body filler next weekend. hoping to have it painted in 3 or 4 weekends since we only can work on it during the weekends. then when we are done with that im going to be doing the brake line tuck

phaphon

Nice looking forward to seeing your progress . I have a hatch I will eventually turn into my drag car also . Same color as yours .

phantom_bcw84

awesome its a lot of work especially if you want to shave the bay becuase take the count of how many holes you think are there and times it by about 3 or 4 lol. there are so many of them. its a long process. good luck with yours whenever you start it.

�� looking good

Ok got a little bit more work done on the car. finished grinding down everything and sand blasted all the welded spots and all the spot welds so we can start body filler. put some primer down so the body filler grabs onto it nice. and got some body filler down and waiting for it to dry. so we are going to continue tomorrow with it. also found out we are able to get some of the under coating on the fender wells off with the sandblaster so going to continue doing that as well.







Here is where we put some primer on for the body filler to grab onto easier







And here is where we started putting the body filler on

Bigblockhatch

You need to sand it really good before adding filler over that primer..

phantom_bcw84

well we did 5 hours of sanding on bondo and its still not done. but i brought it home and i am going to take it to my buddies body shop and have him finish the sanding and metal glaze, seal, prime, and paint the bay.

phantom_bcw84

well i haven't updated this thread because i kinda lost interest for a little while and started working on my sandrail again getting it ready to sell.

yesterday i was bored at work and decided to buy the stuff i need to do the brake line tuck as i need to do that before i can get the bay painted.

here is what i bought

Type R 98+ non ABS master cylinder and resevior

CNC straight handle staging break

and the fittings for the brake line tuck

http://downstarinc.com/Shop/index.ph...&product_id=38

this week i plan to get the sandrail all back together and back in storage for now then i will bring the civic to my house and get it up in the air and do the rear disk conversion and start on the brake line tuck.

phantom_bcw84

Here are the pics of the parts that i bought. just going to buy some brake lines whenever i get the car to my house again.

phantom_bcw84

Got some work on the civic done this weekend. had to go to the junk yard and get a 98+ brake booster because my master cylinder didn't bolt up to the one that was on the car. then i started figuring out where the lines were going to through the firewall. Drilled some holes and started making lines.

Then my dad came over and helped me with the rear lines. Since i wont have an exhaust running down the exhaust tunnel we decided to bring the rear lines in through the tunnel especially because i am installing a staging brake also.

Next the car goes to the body shop to get the engine bay painted then everything goes from the teg into the civic.


Here is what it looked like before i removed everything. and i did remove everything a few months ago to start the bay





here is after i mounted the brake booster, master cylinder and drilled through the firewall



and here is after i made the lines i might change them to silver lines or something not sure yet




here are the pics of the rear lines and how we did them

phantom_bcw84

so i took the car to my buddy that owns a body shop as i was tired of sanding and he got it ready for paint. the bay should be painted in the next few days.
