So I got bored and decided to make a build thread/time line for my 99 civic hatch.



Wish this could be as baller as some of the builds out there but I do my best for being a full time college student studying engineering and working during the week.


I sold my old civic back in May of 09 and didn’t really have a car all summer until about august right after my birthday.


Here are a few pics of my old car. (Rota grids )






Engine bay looked like ****!




Gsr motor with some work done to it made some nice power unturned on a

VAFC at Xenocron tuning!




I got the car in from a local and a member on HT. He was a mechanic at Honda so the car was in the right hands before I had it. A few other friends could vouch for the being clean and legit. Some of the parts were already on the car before I bought it. So it was a good base to start off of for the price. The car is original paint and came with a few things like CTR wing and mirrors 5 lug with powedercoated white wheels and a b16 semi wire tucked and a few other things. There were a few things that the car could use to be where I want.

Only pic I saw of it before I went to look at it!





Here is pics of the car when I first bought the car home.(cell phone pics)










Car same with stock seats because I didn’t want the memory fab seats it came with. Well lucky for me I kept my type r interior off of my old civc. So I traded my type r fronts and $150 for some black recaro srd’s I had seats sitting in my room but no car 

Pics of type r fronts





Srd’s were a little rough when I first got them but that’s nothing some woolite and suede brush cant fix






My friends got a his civic around the same time and so we did a quick shoot (I miss those volks car got stolen)





























Made a photo Rig that same summer and tested it out on my car a few friends cars



Friends S2k

Friends turbo R32





Friends LS supercharged CRX




Later in August ’09 went to SHG BBQ with a bunch of friends from Solfresh and SHG
Here are a few pics from the meet

Cobra and EVO



Some mugen and spoon



My car










So I really thought red recaros looked better then the black so I traded for these (straight trade! Came with some wedge engineering rails too)
I feel like I made out in the deal better lol. They are mint! Just needed a good cleaning.







All done and drying in the sun



Decided to do some more work on the car and clean it real well. Cleaned under the fender wells a bit and took my exhaust off to clean it


Took all Four wheels off and cleaned them good. Love how white wheels look but cleaning them is a major pain!
















To bad the mid pipe on the exhaust needs some help bad it hangs really low and then scrapes on my drive way bad









Random Cell phone pic


Well fall came around and so I did a little photo shoot.









Love this pic!
















Can see the engine bay here ( Plan on changing a few things up)









Sold my ITR rear seats and itr arm rest for some extra money to buy some top of the line security!
Before and after pics of them















So at my friends garage decided to tuck the battery into the trunk and fix the fuse box location.





Need to order a grommet to fill this hole


Got a new glove box too because the old one had a big hole for the fuse box.
Old Glove box







Finally got a damn cargo cover. There are soo hard to find! My friend took it out of his gf VSM hatch with 48k original miles.(1/15/10)





Got an si arm rest from a friend (1/20/10)





Purchased some rear mudflaps! Didn’t want to buy the fronts because they were cut and really beat up. Learned soon after that my car was too low with my drive way to even have from mud flaps so I sold those. (march 2010)










Well I always lurk in the shaved and tucked threads so I thought it would look better if I flipped my break booster. So took the day and finished up that. Some how miss placed a nut but when to Honda and ended up getting some free ones.
Before the bb flip










After


Was not paying attention when I put the hose on and I put it on backwards for the bb.

My new Side skirts came in. They were a steal from Heal toe! $70 shipped for CTR side skirts painted VSm already. (never installed them they are in my attic still)





Not much happened until May when I was out of school

I started my full time internship the next day so I was pumped to be making some actual good money instead of being poor!
Well since this was my only car I had to daily drive it to my internship which completely sucked!
Decided after a week I could not do this anymore it was only 25 miles there and 25 miles back but the roads suck in NY so it was hash on the car. The guy that got me a job we used to car pool so it was pretty funny seeing this high up guy in the company in recaro’s and suit. He didn’t realize there was no A/C till a really hot day. I was starting summer class soon and to get a dd there was nooo way I would drive my car to the Bronx for classes 2 times a week for 3 hr class. Took a week or so and I had a dd. That money was taken out of my rim fund so have to wait longer for that









Since the hatch was no longer my daily I decided to ditch the wipers. (They are in the trunk so just in case I get caught in the rain)









Well this year we decided to go to IA. (2010) Last year 09’ me and a few others bailed out because the car were going to ride down in we didn’t think would make it. Though a year later that same damn car went down there and back. (we missed out on a good time)

So I decided I needed to get some things done for my car could be presentable for IA.
First on the list was getting my front lip redone which needed some paint bc I bottomed out on my drive way bad





Looks naked with the lip off.



Well lip was a lot worse then I originally thought had a crack that I over looked



Friend who painted it did some really good work on it! Fixed the crack and painted it flawlessly and matches perfect! (cell phone pic)

[




I wanted to make my engine bay pop a bit more so I wanted to get a Valve cover powder coated. Decided on a Candy teal.

Did some shaving of the letters off and smoothed it out the best I could



Then sent it off to bone head performance.
Got the Valve cover 2 days before we were going to leave, should not have waited till last minute

Day I got it hard to capture the color.





Took Rad and the intake to clean them really good






Also orded a bolt boys engine kit for my motor
Replaced a lot of bolts looked really clean compared to some rust ones (damn NY weather)






Most of the bolts on at this point





Rusty Vtec solenoid. Took some sand paper too it good as new.


Hated the way my over flow tank looked to I bought one from jegs and did a custom hard line to it.



Rad seems a little bit off …… ..(will come back to bit me in the *** later)



Over flow waiting to get new fitting welded on for hard line.




Changed oil, trans fluid, coolant, spark plug and oil filter,
Only the best stuff for my car.




]

Always loved the s2k clutch master so I decided to put that on. Well with work and school I had no time to do it. Waited till last minute to put I on (hours before we left for IA) had it on and could not get the pressure and the length of the rod to the pedal right so back to stock L






Engine bay all done!





Well the same friend decided he doesn’t want any interior any more so he sold me the following

Headline rewrapped in recaro fabric along with the sun visors and rear seats.
Black carpet ( Im going to buy some fabric to re wrap the door panels and arm rest so they all match)






OLD rugs vs new rugs


[/url]





SEM paint





Car is a mess



Head liner in







Rear seats in





Got some floor mats too in the deal. Think they are out of newer civic but I love the black





Interior all done!






We left to meet up with Solfresh guys and a bunch of others in NJ to travel down together to IA.
Well on the way there once we got into NJ decided to fill my car up with gas. I started to smell coolant so opened the engine bay and saw this











Well didn’t want to miss the trip so I said lets fix it quick. Only thing I had with me that was of use was duct tape. So taped it up quick and it held good actually. We got to deep PA and stopped at a rest stop and got some 5 hr energy drinks and used some JB weld on it. Thanks for everyone helping me out and waiting! Back on the road we go! Rad was doing fine made a few stops and checked it and had coolant in the car with me so no worries. When we got to VA it was cop central most of the group got separated but rad neck started to leak bad here had to stop a few times to fill it up. Started to use water and coolant so I wasn’t spending all my money.

We finally arrived at the hotel!


Untaped the car and relaxed. Next day wash the car and installed the lip and cleaned up the bay from all the coolant. Had some black s2k Cr lugs nuts to install to replace the ugly and old polished ones
Before


After



Well the first day of IA did not go so well for me. So woke up early with a few others and left for the IA meet to get a good spot. Got caught a red light and was behind a bit so I decided to catch up and speed a bit. I was driving with two friends in the car and we are prob doing 80-100mph starting to catch up. Well I hear a thud and was like what the hell then I hear some scraping sound and my friend in the passanger seat goes its your lip. I start to slow down to pull over and I feel a bump and the noise stops. Friend in the back seat goes of **** we ran it over. He then goes **** a bus is behind us that runs it over and so does another car. Back up on the high way and put it in the car.

We had to wait in traffic to get into the meet and didn’t get into VIP parking which sucked.
Think this is the only pic of my car at the meet lol





After the meet when to auto part store nearby and bought a rad to replace my broken one. Car blew a fuse I later found out but it would not start so I kept roll starting the car which sucked on the way home.
Rode all the way back home to NY hit ran and had to re install the wipers
Got home safe and sound took longer than expected with rain.

The lip after it fell off
My friend who painted it yelled at me for this but he was happy to see that the crack he fixed was still intact after all that.
















Car didn’t get touched too much for a bit after the meet had finals in summer class and busy with work and vacation.
Well got sick of the red seats so decided to sell them. Found a guy on Craigslist who wanted to trade his SPG’s for mine! So put them in my daily gotta love a 4 door! (seats came out of a mustang which was driven by a short asian guy…pretty ironic)









Picked up these new ones! In great condition just another cleaning and they will be perfect.










Little scratch on the back
























Well drove the car a bit more in the summer , looked naked without the front lip, and decided to replace a few things. New thermostat and fan switch from Honda
School started back up so I neglected the car pretty much for a while
Well I wanted to attend SHQ OCTOBERfest but could not get my car started the battery died while at school and tried jumping it and no luck! Went any way to hang with a few friends




Well I came home one weekend and it rained the day before and I went over to my car and saw about 2 inches of water. Shop vac fixed that quick. I figured it was coming from the grommet in the driver side fender. I put it off which I should not have. The water ended up shorting the elec in my car so I would not start any more. Traced it to the interior harness and saw that my engine bay fuse box had now power
Messing around a bit with the car to find the electrical problem










Well during the school year ran some numbers in my head and decided to go K series
(not sure the set up yet). I only worked a few hrs a week at my internship so I wasn’t making the most money but decided to ditch the b series. Also going to do a Brake line tuck, Re paint the bay and delete all the studs and mics brackets, Re do the under coating on wheel wells, New bushings in the front., Powder coat misc brackets, Clean up the headlight harness

Car raised up and on steelies all ready to go to the garage. Could not find the short so I had a friend tow it all of 3.2 miles to the garage.








Came home one night to see the car get snow on it. Last flakes this car will see!












Home sweet home!


Well I sold my Valve cover and the intake





Well found the electrical problem. It was a rusty bolt for the ground on the interior by the driver seat. Replaced the bolt and started right up!

NICE BUILD WHATS THE PLAN FOR THE NEW MOTOR

SHG_Claudio

Hrmmmmm! Just read through it and I gotta say, very nicely done. You put in the research, the work and you're using your resources pretty nicely. Def liked how the car felt at IA. I need to get moving too haha. Def going to be fun riding alongside to IA. The build is pretty legit man, I'm impressed with the level of cars that NY is putting out. Just gotta keep going through the downfalls, we all hit a bunch on the way! So thats where the B16 went huh? Nice haha, I was wondering which one he was going with. Its going to suit his car well. Good luck for this year dude!

TURD_RACER

the first red set of recaros you had were out of a dc5r

Well i am undecided which parts i am going to use but i want a k20/k24 motor with some cams and pistons. Need to do my research and see what i want and can afford.

The first summer i got the car i said i am doing k series in it just had to wait for the funds and a few other things to fall into place. I have a long long way to go but Thanks!
The red recaro's with the larger logo are recaro speed's. The guy i got them from said they came out of a integra not a DC5 hence the integra rails. Look up DC5R recaro's you will see the difference.

Ehh used to it from last winter working on brandons car. We have a small propane heater in the garage that does work that and dressing warm too. If we can finish insulating the other half of the garage we wont need the heater on as much,

Hoping tomorrow to get a bunch of work done on the bay
