here is a small update on my project drag civic. it was a street car until it was stolen back in may of 01 (ya, its been that long) and this is where i stand today with it.

after going to the dyno on thursday, and then the track friday night with a friends car(hotrod civic coupe in sig) for the first time this season. it got me motivated to do something for my ride.

i recently picked up this carbon front end from Kens Kustom chassis. great bunch over there it weigh's 23 lbs right now. but im going to be adding a mounting bracket on the inside of it.




overall




rear view


makes for good storage


this is my catch tray. made from aluminum sheet metal, i got the L shaped 1inch tall side alum from a local hardware store. i then cut to size, and pop-rivetd it to the sheetmetal. the white stuff is absorbant, which is spray glued to the tray.


also recently got these Rob Moore/ NITRO driveline spindles from a fellow H-t member. finally after 3 yrs i can mount the wheels on the car. IT ROLLS







going to be tubing the front end, building engine mounts/ trac bars/ front end mounting. and everything else thats gonna be in there.


here is all the tubing going to be used for tubing the front end & mounting the carbon front, also the tow hook.





this is a little jig/tubing bender. it fits 1/4 &3/8 tube.



here are some previous threads on the build of the drag car.

see the previous threads, this car still has stock shock towers, these are just re-enforcement plates. the wheel tubs are also allowed.

how is your car coming? i havent seen an update in awhile.

im debating wether i want to run 1 continuous bar around the front, connecting the 2 stinger bars. or do something alittle similar to what you have done on your car. with the separate cross bar.(i belive i saw it on your ride)


tonight we (2.0coupe & I) worked on mounting the front end.

1. got the tow hook drilled/mounted ready to weld.
2. cut out the inner lips on the front end. so it would fit
3. made/ tack on the mounts for the front end to mount to the A pillar.


ill get some pics as things progress. im hoping to have this fab **** ALL done in a month or so. we will see.

speedworks

i am going to fab up the radiator,the fuel system, and the lines from the intercooler pump saturday.

DaveF

sounds like you are very close to running ?

speedworks

Damn, Franks should have put a clear gel coat on the hood to show the carbon weave. That would have looked sooooo sick on the copper paint you already have. Looks like a very promising setup BTW. Good luck with the finishing touches!

DaveF

finished up on the driver side wheel tub on tuesday night & orderd rear shocks/springs

i got some Qa1 stuff off of Paradise Racing(Louis Carojo) just a 12way adjustable. & 250lbs rear springs.
