Re: 1992 VX Hatch SOHC BOOSTED BUILD
Car looks awesome. One thing I would recommend you doing is lose that harness bar if you value your life!!! They are very dangerous if you get into a wreck.

Re: 1992 VX Hatch SOHC BOOSTED BUILD
^^^ Agree on both. Car looks amazing. Ver well done.

Well bummer I expected a little more then that..

Re: 1992 VX Hatch SOHC BOOSTED BUILD
Do yourself a huge favor and replace the hardware on the camber arms. Blox hardware is notorious for backing out and sending your alignment all to hell.

Re: 1992 VX Hatch SOHC BOOSTED BUILD
Really sweet build, love all that time and effort you put into it, looks nice.

Most of it will be replaced soon. I've had good luck with blox but have also heard bad stuff. But I'm ready to try something new also. Any recommendations?
They also have the huge advantage of not being stupid expensive. |
Re: 1992 VX Hatch SOHC BOOSTED BUILD
Be proud of yourself bro. Excellent build. All this fresh hatches making me want one.
In regards to the Carbon Fiber roof. Carbon fiber is not installed used 2 sided tape.... It's used with epoxy resin..... |
Re: 1992 VX Hatch SOHC BOOSTED BUILD
Wow very nice Civic for anyone let alone a 18 year old kid. Good work and very clean car and well done.

I have Buddy Club camber arms all the way around. The ball joint mounting points on the front have a much thicker gauge metal behind them, so they're a lot less likely to break out under high stress. The hardware is also of high quality - the only thing you need to add is a dab of LocTite, and you're good to go. Rear camber arms are pretty simple - two threaded eyelets, attached with a middle sleeve and locknuts. The BC rear kit just feels better than others I've felt and installed.

As for the carbon roof, I guess I never thought of that, I've just always seen them saying they come with "3m double sided strengthening adhesive blah blah" so I was a little sketched out I suppose. |
Re: 1992 VX Hatch SOHC BOOSTED BUILD
good build, what heat wrap did you use for the downpipe?

Re: 1992 VX Hatch SOHC BOOSTED BUILD
awesome build! i understand your struggle since i recently turned 20 and im almost done with my jdm d15b e85 turbo build. i deffffinately reccomend the e85. i love how the car came out, it looks great! i love the slips and how the match the bay, i love the red and the seats are awesome but i wouldve preffered some type r's myself (thats what im trying to put in mine) nice steering wheel and suspension mods.

Re: 1992 VX Hatch SOHC BOOSTED BUILD
only thumbs down you get is for switching from a jdm d15b to a z6 :( :thud::thumbdown:
|
Re: 1992 VX Hatch SOHC BOOSTED BUILD
Holy progress batman!
Love the car and the fast progress. IMO the rota's are too bright of a white, I like the black ones, just my opinion its your car though. Anyways to my question, how did you like doing the rear quarters? Trying to build myself up enough confidence to do mine... nervous as hell though. Let me know how it went for you. |

Quarters i was scared to death to do... Most nerve wracking moment of the whole build i think besides it being on the dyno. You just gotta do it though man. The stuff i used was called Duramix or something from carquest. Expensive but holy hell is it strong, stuff dries like cement, you have to damn near take a grinder to get it off.. |

And now that I take a second look at the engine bay, it really compliments the rims when you have the engine exposed. Goood work though, will be in for this. |
Re: 1992 VX Hatch SOHC BOOSTED BUILD

Gotta love seeing a guy do his own work.. Showed my buddy this thread with NA VX 1.5.... He is jealous.... |

I'll look into the Duramix stuff, how much did it run you, if you don't mind me asking, same with that carbon tailgate I like that. I got a red eg as well. slow progress though. I like some of the things you are doing. Did you paint your subframe brace? Or just bolt it back in?
