This guy may seem sketchy cause of him owning a GTR and a Corvette, but maybe he just has a passion for working on cars. ****, if I was a millionaire.... Believe it or not it, i would still have the desire to build a Honda. And if I was building a drag car. I would for sure not buy brand new OEM parts just to cut it up again for weight deduction. I work in a body shop and have seen cars get cut in half and put back on the street like nothing ever happened.
He could be lying to us for ***** and giggles. Let's just wait and see where the build goes first.
What benefits you get when you put Tier3 one piece clutch line?
not sure of the benefit besides it looking better. I needed to replace it since i blew a hole in my oem one when it touched the starter's power wire. Cant complain for a clean $40 fix

I never noticed a huge pedal feel difference since I changed the old fluid and had a new clutch put in all at the same time, but I imagine there's a small difference in pedal feel with just the line changed.
same i didnt notice any difference in pedal feel

Come on man. You have to see how this could be hard to beleive right?
that GTR/ vette property tax put the civic on a slow build status. Its cool if people dont believe me, wont stop me from posting about the honda project on here. Not everyone does big changes in their first week of owning a car. I was gonna have fun with it so did it my own way

I have a tendency to get in a hurry. Maybe OP doesn't and just wants to make it a clean dd at first.
def no time line this was just a spare time project. no rush what so ever and i didnt want to take car apart and have parts everywhere taking up garage space if i didnt already have replacements ready to go in.. make sense?

This bish should be on a rotisserie getting sandblasted, with new OEM parts littering the garage, k-swap in the driveway, Volk wheels in box being used as a table, etc...etc...
lol

well i ended up getting rid of the hatch because no one believed me and critized everything I did with it. I couldn't take it anymore so it had to go!
Lol but no seriously I did get rid of it. I had it raffled off and ended making triple the amount it was worth so you can say I was happy. A buddy of mines was getting out the honda game and gave me a killer deal on his 2000 ebp si with mods and had to jump on it right away. This color blue so happens to be my sons favorite color so i told him this could be his car when he grows up so decided to do a little father and son build with him (even tho it will be with mainly me but keeps the wife happy) I will start a new thread with the si and don't worry I won't mention my other builds and cars in it haha too much butt hurt with that
