Whats up HT members a little history about the car. I've had my sedan for about 4 years now got it when i was 16 i will be 20 next sunday. Anyways the car was orignal bone stock (D15b7) with bolt ons when i got it, had 17" Tenzo R rims lol after the first year i swapped it with a d16z6 had that engine for a good while then after i went bseries all hell broke loose, built a b20vtec from scratch(will post pics of that as well). Then it caused me problems left and right got rid of it went LS b18b1 and that ended blowing a rod through the front of the block after a few months. So now on to the good stuff ive gotten motivated to do a full wiretuck, brakeline tuck, fuel line tuck. As well as relocating the battery to the trunk or by the passenger side fender well.
Last but not least pick up a Gsr motor and trans remove the 4th-final drive gears and replace them with ls gears. Its a very big project. And one last thing did i mention im doing the body work and paint myself too! Exterior and engine bay! Fuuuuu!!!!

Ok so i uploaded some so far during the process of going bseries i had some power folding mirrors i had sitting in my garage with the oem switch and relay. If anyone wants me to do a write up to the PFM(power folding mirrors) for a eg let me know i promise it wont be as crazy as the others ive seen people and myself break are heads over im not done uploading i still got alot more pics and descriptions ill get back on in a few hours though and hopefully get to the recent work ive done today.

nuckles

So here is the B20V Build from scratch!! A Few Befores and afters im not going to post the whole thing on what and how i did it thats on the other forum if your intrested in reading it here it is http://www.socalcivic.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19535
anyways heres the pics!










so there is a quick glance of my b20v build
it was a bone stock swap
didnt get the chance to install ITR Cams
or anything else now ill go onto the recent! WIRE TUCK!!!!!

nuckles

The moment of truth lol Oh yeah i forgot after selling my b2v swap
i went ls to go boost but it blew a rod through the block -__-
BUT!
heres the updates of the recent work for the wire tuck im currently
working on the harness inside the cabin while my buddy pata is working
on my engine harness since he has engines up the bung hole for days!

nuckles

And here it is with practically everything almost off just got the brake booster clutch res and brake lines from the rear to the front.
I will be dropping the front subframe and painting it, the rack and pinion has power steering im looking to sell once i get my Non power steering rack.
i also have the dashboard removed as well with the ac unit also taken off, i do have to remove the heater core in order to have sufficent room to play with at least for the wires.
I already started measuring the length for my wires on the passenger side
all i have to extend is:
Headlights
Turn signals
Horn
Fan for the Radiator
Wiper Motor
shock tower plugs
Alarm Horn

Then work my way to the cabin again
to relocate the fuse box and battery
i have thought of two locations for my battery relocation ethier
in the trunk or by the passenger side front tire
which ive seen in another thread.(it will save me some wire and yes im using a positive and negative terminal from jegs )

Yea I'm working on a few other things that's taking up some time from this project but updates will be up soon! Going to remove all of the front suspension this weekend before I go out to camp in big bear.

nuckles

Ok everybody sorry for the massive lagg but I haven't got much done except for unraveling of wires, ive been cleaning the garage to make room for everything I'm going to be doing in the following months. But I will post pictures

UPDATE! ON SHOCK TOWER!! Grinded as much as i could welded some parts here and there where it needed it then applied bondo still needs a little more then after that i will be sanding down the whole engine bay again and instead of using rattle can primer i will be using teh gunz! :thumbsup:
Also i will finally work on extending those damn wires!

Before grinding


After! still looks the same but the way the previous person who did the welding half assed it
and i lost out on $200 bastards but anyways!

Bondo!>.<

pata

iTrader: (2)

this guy works like 65hrs a week with 2 jobs. He's never going to finish this thing! Only way he'll get it done is if he works 7a - 12p like me that way he can have the rest of the day to do whatever on his car.

I say you dump one of your jobs so you can work on your car carnalito

nuckles

not yet in about 6 months i will kick one job to the curb
but once this weekend comes ill be ordering all my wire insulation
and ill pick up my paint thinner with primer so i can spray the bay hopefully ethier saturday or sunday if the weather permits me to do so
i still have to drop and remove the front subframe and rack and pinion that has power steering, ive decided i might just keep it if the pump that comes with my swap is good.so we will see if not its gonna be one my FS list
