nothing to do right now so i figured i'd make a build thread for my car.
sorry if the pics are shitty. most of them are off of my phone.

My name is cole. 20 years old, first real "build" that ive really done. I've had the car for about a year, i've always wanted an eg hatch. had an eg sedan that was alright but ended up trading it for my eg. it looks like crap right now. but its getting there and paint and body work will hopefully be done soon.
a little info on the car.
92 civic cx gsr swap with b16 tranny
mugen header to greddy exhaust
ground control on koni yellows, blox lcas. and other random suspension parts.
type r steering wheel, gsr seats, jdm center console, full rear seat delete
a bunch more random things. nothing too much right now. but getting there!
this was the day i got it. sitting super awkward with horrible fitment.

so i tried painting the wheels and going lower. looked alright but i wasn't a fan of the wheels so i traded them for some beat to crap rotas with low pros in the front and monster truck tires in the back

Omaha NE's ice cream cruise(I live in lincoln, NE)


then due to rubbing issues when i would have people sit in my back seats i took out the rear seats and did a "rear seat delete" surprisingly for being wood it only weighs about 10-15 pounds.


so finally i decided i was about that slammed life. all 4 wheels never made it on before i decided i wasn't about the slammed life....


i also decided i wanted to clean up the horribly ugly engine bay which turned out pretty good in my opinion for painting and wire tucking with the motor still in the car.
before

after

and after getting half way through a paint job and working 50 hours a week. it sits looking like this but almost all sanded down :/

but the small spot of rust and huge dent will be gone next week. paint should be done in a month or so and then who knows what will happen after that. just finishing up interior and sanding right now.
if you like my build follow me on instagram for faster updates if you want! @cmunsterman this is my first build thread so we'll see how it goes.
i'll try to keep it updated if people are interested but i figured it'd be fun to finally start a build thread. let me know what you guys think!

Cool, but I feel like this should be moved to A/C

CMunsterman

Yeah like I said this is my first build thread. Wasn't too sure where to put it.

Did you do the B18 swap yourself?


Looking into doing this in the next year...

CMunsterman

No I got this in a trade for my old b16a swapped four door. I am pulling the motor here soon hopefully though.

Diamond racing steelies FTMFW! what specs ? I rocked 16x10 w/205/45's on my integra. Looks good I'd get the valve cover painted tho not feeling the rattle can white/red cover.

LHD conversion? or chassis code ignorance?

CMunsterman

Mine were 15x8 0 offset with 165/50s. Sat nice. But the roads are so beyond fucked where I live. And yeah I agree. I had another spark plug cover but it's cracked so I put this one on.

CMunsterman

Part ignorance and saying eh2 just sounds dumb in my opinion. But mostly ignorance. Lol

CMunsterman

Well just got all the rust and dents fixed on the body. I'll post pictures tomorrow. Next is paint. My tail lights decided to take a **** tonight. Tore my whole dash apart testing wires and blew through tons of fuses. Eventually discovered it was my stereo that I already knew was horribly wired and haven't taken time to solder it all. Should have checked that first..lol

CMunsterman

finally remembered to post pics of the rust/dent repair. also the car will be painted in the next week or two if everything goes as planned..
