i've been here a year and had no idea
I went to make another account and "your email is already in use" and here we are
i picked up this pile of crap 97 civic back in like February last year
and it was bad
97 ek coupe
00 front
B20B high comp running on a p2e somehow and obd2B
interior also converted but not done well
aftermarket lcas had no bushings i found out later
steelies with 3 different tire sizes
holes in the trunk lid for a wing that was gone
si blue looks like crap
no climate control works at all
and the steering wheel is too close to the wiper controls and signals
AND A HOLE IN THE gas tank
fast forward to now
it's now 4 colors after my drivers door broke, got free rims and slapped 205/45r16 BFG sport comp 2s on it
got an si wing so no more leaks
fixed the tank
fixed the engine being lopsided
put the correct axles
stock rear lcas
and have done the best i can with the backyard special exhaust
got JG303 cams with aem gears though and a P06
i also broke every motor mount tab on the body and subframe from running autocross along with blowing all the seals in my master cylinder on lap one
car has sat for the past 6 months
future plans starting this weekend (and will be on my youtube channel)
going to install the 72/61 ball bearing turbo and ramhorn intake after the Daytona scca race hew springs and retainers installed with new seals, going to buy 10:1 pistons and rods at the instruction of the tuner along with the block guard i already have and the 2000cc injectors
getting tuned this weekend so it will run, possibly mess with the exhaust
FIXING THE SUBFRAME FRIDAY
painting the car to look like a flying tigers P40 temporarily (until i get better paint)
gutting the whole interior for the race ish seats i got for free
i love how this car hangles and cant wait to be on the track again
also shoutout to my friend in the wagon (i'm sure he's on here somewhere) he's helped me immensely (including with a job) because this is my first honda (unless you count my 89 integra) and i'm learning all the specific stuff
