Also, the upper links should not be longer than the lowers.
The way it is, the rear is going to twist a LOT as the suspension moves, causing DRASTIC pinion angle changes.
Also, with the upper mounts on the housing that low, the forces on the links will be extreme. The rearend will just have way too much leverage on the linkage.

Good luck with your build, just slow down, get some engineering help, and do it SAFE and RIGHT.
thank you for kind advice, BUT when you do yours ""YOU""" can do it how ever you like, and "I" can do it however "I" like. Im not being rude --at all-- so please don't take this offensive. THIS IS NOTTTTTTTTT MY FIRST RWD SETUP. Let me do my thing and if it fails, then 'I' will learn from it.

example: Im a V8 LSx person and tune these cars, I get old school SBC carbs come in all the time to dyno, You try telling them to switch to fuel injection. Well, it's not gonna happen unless they learn by them self that ls1/efi is far more superior than old sbc carb.

I'm really interested in what rear end you used, and how it's actually bolted into the frame. I see the massive end links which i take it is used for alignment issues.
^^^ tomm i'll do a lexus, oops I mean civic burnout just for you.

there's other links up top going through the trunk and the shocks/springs on the outside in the factory spot going down onto the rear end.

Maybe I should just post the car when it's completed, THAT way there wont be any question about this and that..lol

Nothing wrong with the heims themselves or the bolt size, the problem is single shear. There is no strength in that.

Major props to you sir!

the speed of this build is crazy, can't wait to see it with all the minor kinks worked out. not trying to hate but the plates welded to the rear end look pretty sloppy in my eyes. Im sure once you get the car where its at you will make them look better but I just like trying to take a bit more time to make everything look right the first time. either way, **** is gonna be sick na or turbo'd. can't wait to see it running.

once ive get everything running in the way I want, I will change things up a bit. So Please dont worry too much.

thanks for the concern tho.

Legit. I cant wait to see it run!
thanks man.

<-----Anxiously waiting for pics or running vid
not till after the new years. i'll explain below.

The sheer fact you did all that in 4 days practically by yourself is unreal.

Major props to you sir!
It's real. believe it or not.

the speed of this build is crazy, can't wait to see it with all the minor kinks worked out. not trying to hate but the plates welded to the rear end look pretty sloppy in my eyes. Im sure once you get the car where its at you will make them look better but I just like trying to take a bit more time to make everything look right the first time. either way, **** is gonna be sick na or turbo'd. can't wait to see it running.
yea that's why they weren't completely weld, they are now and cut real nice, I should of took pictures but working by myself I didn't have the time, the only time I take a picture is when its the end of day and im all done already, that's the only free time I get. Unlike other people's projects, they lay stuff out and take really neat pictures of there build, well, sorry guys that's not me. If I do that i'll loss too much time.

U are out in fort worth huh, I've seen those tegs before a few times that I've went to get some parts. Either way LOVE the white teg, thought it was around 700 HP? That civic is gangsta! U will take so many peopleby suprise when the front wheels come up!
No, wrong person, Im in tulsa oklahoma, and YES people will be surprised

if you donnt mind me asking, why not a LSX?
Already been there and swaped those into other cars, and still in the middle of building a 1400hp lsx 91mm turbo for the tx2k13 event along with this one.

cheaper these can be had all day long at the junk yards for under 300 bucks.
SOOOOOOO TRUEEE. since there are people like me building these engines, there are now more and more people swapping to these, why? More power/tq, all aluminum, holds **** loads of power stock engine. AND most of all VERY affordable, ive seen engines get swap into many other cars now n days, when I first started with these engine no one knew what the hell they were.

THIS LOOKS SO FRESH.....i typed in caps cause it made me excited...also that datsun>>>>>>>>>
THANKS MAN...

wow!-i knw plenty of ppl that would dig this- Rwd drag/drift civics, and your progress is too quick....
thank you.

i want to do mine now lol
Do it......

This is awesome in a weird sort of gay **** way.
yeap, instead of getting it in the front it's getting it from the rear. hahaha

I know it's already been said, but DAMN that thing is sick and how fast you've put it together is beyond impressive!!! Keep up the good work!
Thank you sir.

DAY7

ok these are from day 7 and final day of the build, sorry I didn't get to post them up the 7th day, i was really strapping for time as I was going out of state Thursday morning and wanted this car done before I left. Well, anyways the cars complete, i didn't get a chance to take burnout vids for you guys but i promise when I get back from Cali I will set it up and post it. I didn't get done till about 3am in the morning, and had to drive 29hrs to sacramento Cali 5hrs later. I just now made it here, that's why im posting this. Wow what a drive.

Enjoy these pictures Ive took before I left weds night. oh and i'll clean everything up once I get back in town.

also i'll post pictures of what im doing in california too.
Enjoy guys happy holidays

how hard is the wiring to do? looks like the engine harness just goes into the cab where Im assuming it plugs into a ecu then all you would really have to do is run the power and grounds to the ecu along with gauge wiring. this looks like it would be a gangster swap for a little toyota pickup

Might want to cut up a couple axles and bolt them into the hubs. That's what holds the front bearings together.
