My dream build thread (kelli)
So ill start out with this to spark your interest
i picked this up a few months ago and due to my dad recently passing away, i have now started my project.
its seems like a decent shell a lil bit of odd rust on some bolts and a small little bubble on the driver rear quarter. i bought it due to my other civic i was building have to much rust and am now swapping parts and continuing on.
here is a major BUTT LOAD of parts that "teknotik" hooked me up with.
so never the less this build should be pretty fun!
my engine is a b16a i decided to go with a b16 due to its rod stroke ratio ( and a few other deciding factors) for my build. it is a good platform engine and if it ever breaks that are cheap to get in comparison so say a b16b. it is also going to be supercharged with a kraftwerks/rotrex charger kit.
so ill start from the beginning and up to the most current of work which is today 2016-05-09
car up on the lift ( kelli is the blue civic) and got the red civic up on jack stands
front left and right suspension assemblies taken off
removed front and rear suspension and trailing arms of red civic to swap to kelli ( due to the red civic having arp extended studs and i dont wanna pull them and replace bearings just for studs)
everything pulled and layed out( blue civic had yellow knoi's installed which i think i am going to be selling, that or my extra set of F&F 1's)
i still need to get the left rear toe arm removed as the bolt is hardcore siezed, broke an impact socket trying to get it out...
removed exhaust system from the cat, back. and removed rear sway bar that previous owner had installed. ( have an asr 24 mm kit going on and a buddy club spec 2 system going on as well)
exhaust hangar needs to be welded on missing one
sway bar on..
sway bar off..
driver side trailing are is all that is left to do... gonna get rid of thise cheap crap ebay wanna be cross drilled rotors and i gotta fix the brake line... thinking i might remove all brake lines and redo and re-route all of them... this one broke
that is all for now... tons gonna be going on. ill update soon
