I'm going to start off slow i got it couple of months ago. I bought it for 960$ not bad for 163k miles right? I just started but projects take a lot of struggle and time right.

 

Looks like a decent start. What are your plans for it.

 

that's prety damn clean!

 

well I plan to go Front end conversion, do either b16b or a b18 I'm not sure. then go with springs first, drop it an inch, I'm not too sure on the wheels but most likely going to go with 99 Si rims.

Thanks Standy i clean it every other day inside and out.

 

have a read of this before you think of jdm front

b16b would be ultimate! That's what i hope to have at the very end of my build.

iv recently jus stumbled across the "mini me" engine. i cant really see past it atm lol
mayb sumfink to look into,instead of joining the "b" series mob lol

 

lol, yea well i wanted to go twin cam since the very first, other than that i'd probably try to buy a k20. but most likely i"ll try to go into b series. :D

 

if the money is there k20> bseries, d series, f series

just my $0.02

 

My honest opinion, start with the basics first. Like replacing all the worn out **** that a 20 year old civic will have. Gaskets, bushings, brakes, steering pieces, shocks, etc.

Once you've covered that, start thinking about modifying it.

 

yea thats what i was thinking about , to start getting my shell ready, then at the end start doing all whats left.

well i dont know much about the k series but b series im more familiar with. so idk im probably going with b series.

 

haha the title of the thread made me laugh cause i'm sure 50% of the guys who have a EF has some sort of saved doucment titled "project ef" .. myself included

 

It never ends man

 

I know lol its addicting.

 

Just take your time when doing this bud. I've had my hatchback for almost 7 years now and it still has a long way to go. I'm sure that if you see me cruising through Downey, you'll see what I mean. I still haven't painted the car.

If you're building this car for performance, use quality parts that will last and not need replacing every year or two. A little bit of planning will save you lots of money in the long run and you'll end up with a pretty awesome build.

Also, 99% of what you'll encounter in the process of building your car has been covered many times on this forum by many different people. Make sure to use the Search engine on here thoroughly, and if you still haven't found what you need, THEN start a thread. It helps eliminate the clutter and redundancy of like threads. There are plenty of helpful folks on here that are willing to answer questions. This is also an open forum, so don't be surprised when people don't agree with what you're doing and offer their opinion.

However you decide to modify your car, do it safely so you don't endanger others on the road.

Cheers

 

Thanks bro, and i know building a car takes long but in the end, its worth it, wait you live near downey? I know i'll ask around because im looking for ef2 fenders , im trying to change the front end.

 

Your front end looks clean, you should keep it and focus the money on other things.

 

Got a grey and a white one of these. just swapped the old d15b2 for the b16. These are sweet rides
