Default Mai Black 2000 Civic Si EM1 Build

So ... here we go again haha

I got myself a new project! A 2000 EM1 ... for the most part, I just got it as a rolling shell with interior. Here are a few pictures of how I got it ...







First thing I did was buy a couple fenders from JDMCARBOY and primered the front end ...



oh and it's a CLEAN title

As for the engine, I noticed it had a bad connector and found out that it was a crank position sensor ...



Got the new one installed and while the engine was out, did the timing belt and water pump.





oh, and mounted up the tranny

yeh I couldn't pass it up - though once I got into it I'm missing more things than I thought but that's always the case haha

it was missing the tranny, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, linkage, cluster, fenders, header bolts, radiator, rims ... bunch of stuff. And now that I am getting more into it, a few mounts and I'm sure more to follow ...

Just going to use it as a DD, maybe even trade it when it's done knowing myself. Not sure yet.

looks like a great platform body looks straight which is always the biggest part in a project roller. GLWB!

one of the mounts I got in the mail was different, drivers side mount on the engine is a 3 post and the one I got is a 2 post.

So, if anyone out there has this 3 post L bracket thing, PM me please!

Don't know where that engine came from, but it looks like you have the wrong drivers side engine mount post, not the mount

Here is a new one i bought for my engine

You actually need the 2 post block mount for this to work. Part number 11910-P30-000.

You thought about tucking the headlight wires in the fender? Doesn't take that long and since you got everything out it'd be a little easier.

Nice find though I'll be keeping up with this build and the best of luck!

decided to do some work yesterday on this ... was missing a BUNCH of bolts here and there including alot of the bolts for the engine mounts. And some of the mounts I got were wrong. Soo, oRdered all of those and got most of those in and did some work on my project.

Yesterday we put the axles in and while I was in the area I had the rotors turned ....
