No its actually just my high school auto shop. I have 2 periods of auto everyday and they have all of the tools I am going to need. It's actually pretty nice. It will just be much easier putting the motor in there than in my garage.

yoffer · 04-01-2007, 07:07 PM

get some Purple Power and a pressure washer........it'll do wonders for all that nasty Chit in the engine bay.

LSR 0NE · 04-02-2007, 05:47 PM

Dude your making some good progress, cant wait to see it when its done. (when I get my ae86 running al start doing what you are doing to my hatch) good luck!!

Finally...another b16 guy! Good to see you doing things the right way. Patience my friend. It will get you a long way in your build. Good luck!

1350???

teal_dx · 04-03-2007, 12:02 PM

just saw your pics, this is going to be a good project! Those thick orange and blue wire pics are shielded wires. I believe they go to the distributor and 02 sensor. You do not want to cut that wire shielding if possible. here's a link from when I did a wire tuck on my eg: http://civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=92
Don't forget to re-route your hood cable through your fender frame while you've got your car apart. it makes it harder for crooks to pull your inner fender liner and release your hood.

95ProjectEJ1 · 04-03-2007, 12:11 PM

Subsribed so when i get off work i can see the progress. GL with the build man, I always wished i took autobody in hs to work on my car for the cost of parts/paint. GL

Smurf4JDM · 04-03-2007, 01:37 PM

trapstar101 · 04-03-2007, 06:13 PM

Thanks for the comments guys. I was gonna try to get the bay all cleaned up tonite and ready for paint, but it snowed like 6 inches today. Anybody know of any way to clean out the bay without a hose or would i just be better off waiting for it to warm up outside?

Your car is looking great btw tealdx. You should let me know when its done or when you make more progess.

Blzdeep · 04-03-2007, 06:53 PM

ahhh regardless of what you paid .... seems you have a good plan and are def in the right direction ....... Keep us updated

STG_PeteJ2 · 04-03-2007, 06:58 PM

3.point.2 · 04-03-2007, 07:37 PM

o5mar1 · 04-03-2007, 08:36 PM

i removed the heater box and ran all the wiring from the engine bay thrugh the hole left from the heater core. i used an extra wiring harness to build my custom harness.

T Rick · 04-03-2007, 09:23 PM

i like the speed ometer where did you get that?

vi3tromanc3r · 04-03-2007, 10:00 PM

seems so rusty, hope all goes well.

trapstar101 · 04-04-2007, 06:44 AM

The cluster came with the car. Im not sure what kind it is but i like it a lot. I think it might be an si cluster?? If anyone knows they should lmk. I was wondering too.

You have an SI cluster there. the car would have come factory with no tack and the temp and fuel gauge split.

jdmthug · 04-04-2007, 10:53 AM

nice project i just picked bought my 94 cx hatch a month or so ago for 1500 in running order and clean ass black interior. I didnt bother changing out the cluster i just added a autometer tach and called it a day. Ima lower the vehicle and do the b16 swap,peakboost turbo kit, rear brake conversion, 16 inch rims, milano red paintjob. should have the whole project done by next year..takin my time on it

trapstar101 · 04-10-2007, 09:34 PM

Just a little update. I've been working a little over the weekend but mostly have gotten some new parts.

First things first, my motor came today.

Hasport mounts.

Finished dyeing my dash. I think it turned out pretty good.

I got my battery box and battery.

Speakers.

That's it for now. I also have some things on the way. I ordered a Koyo radiator, Samco hoses, jdm clock, jdm sidemarkers, and rywire subharness. The bay will be painted this week and the motor will be going in next weekend, then I'm going to get the rest of the car painted after that.

JKGONZALEZ3 · 04-10-2007, 10:52 PM

its coming along nice even though its a lot of work it will worth it in the end.
