Thanks! Means alot, the bay should hold up just fine, the floor will definitely need work later down the road in a few years.
A buddy has a rotisserie I'll just get new pans and get him too do it properly.
the way I did it soooo much welding, I ended up giving up and only welding the top shut.
I sprayed a paint and undercoating underneath for a few years.
I'll upload a quick picture.
the front near the foot well has 3 patchs, you see quite afew in this picture.
and the rear pinch welds between floor and rear seats all across has been redone.
I'll be welding 2 1" square tubing as seat brackets eventually, the passenger side only has 1 patch in the front near the ecu and once again at the rear pinch welds.
The floor use too flex quite alot now she's really stiff!
I have to get my snapped lca bolts out of my hub,
I'll update that as I painted a set of function 7 lcas ! And have some cusco coil overs too install.
like I said lca bolts snapped
I decided I'd take off the nut behind the hub - damaged the hub..
let's try this trailing arm they could be replaced anyways, I'm guessing some people can discover what I'm working on now.
for these trailing arms I've cut 3 holes inside my car -.- wish me luck!
Updates will be slow I have started a new job
Finally some progress on the car! Have 2 mo.ths of winter left so trying to get it done.

waiting on a manifold
waiting on a inline fuel filter

new type r lcas
Cusco coil overs
new disc trailing arms
gotta finish some brake/fuel lines

Turbo is in!
picked up a borg warner s366 ar91twinscroll,
nothing to crazy on the budget and is hopefully very reliable!
here' a picture of it and me xD
Really wish some more people would comment on here-.-
I spent alot of time getting the car ready too be put back on the ground, today I spent all my time installing the motor.
I'll show some picture of that soon!
but here' the before.
I love these rims and first time ever having camber!
Thanks guys!!!
I did get the engine in that night,
The head had too come off for last minute changes.
since I painted the dash and installed it correctly.
installed some brake and fuel lines!
I bought race flux lines from well
race flux/ anfittingsdirect.
I have heard good things so we will see!
I am looking to trade my hood for a carbon version!
Hopefully I am doing a good job, im not a painter but I do enjoy it.
I have painted this whole car it's crazy, I did the body 4 years ago - kind off the wrong way aha.
I did the body then mechanical.
I'm waiting on the head / injectors and a sheepey top mount twin scroll!
this should be a insane car when she's done.
I'm gonna go for 500 wheel horse power, hopefully get abit if the summer out of it.
then I'm throwing a sleeved gsr!
Oh to be young, you remind me of myself when I was younger I had so much energy for my projects lol, just remember to take time to enjoy it during that summer!
Hey guys havnt updated in awhile been busy, car should've been done by now.
been waiting 3 months for my sheepey parts and I'd be tuned -.-,
I'm not blaming Alex though..
FedEx ended up losing my manifold and delayed all of this.
while it was on order I ended up buying more parts.
Been waiting.
slowly all I have left too do is wiring.
Screw it -.- removing the oil feed lines and installed a type r header and the wide band.
gonna take off the header after these awful pictures and paint it with some vht high temp.
gonna break in the motor n/a for now until the turbo parts arrive.
It's definetly been awhile since I have updated this thread, I have been waiting on custom Intercooler and twin scroll manifold for a year now..
I gave up and bought spare parts I'll sell when mine finally arrive.
I got the car on the dyno in August - it made about 400hp still correcting air fuels.. when the timing belt let go.
so the motor was destroyed.
I threw in a stock block with acl bearings too help me get by until my new block arrives!
I'm looking into buying a Ramey racing sfwd block.
Leaving the car the way it is currently!
she's all done and ready too go racing again it's been about 3 years since she's seen the track.
Usually I change or take a part off the car and come spring it's not ready.
this time around she's sitting in the garage and come spring ready too hit the track!
Well...
Went racing a bit this summer,
Made it too Hondafest.
10min down the road after hondafest I hit boost and snapped cyl 1 rod right in half.
20psi on a borg warner s363 on a stock motor!!!!
Lasted a few thousand miles Lmfao I thought a rod bolt would have let go.
Time for engine #4 and I'm doing it right this time.
I sent a block too Golden Eagle,
Got some wiseco pistons/eagle rods/acl bearings.
Need too be on the road for August 1, so I can make race the runway a airport 1/2 event that is local too here.
I will upload pics of the carnage 😂
Summer hit and finally a cruise night with the boys!
Love this engine bay 😍
Suited up and ready for Hondafest
Quick picture during Hondafest
Somehow it came out blurry -.-
And well she blew up a few hours later.
This is where it happened xD. Back of the block giant hole. Front of the block, another hole.. Hello Mrs snapped rod. Piston went up and hit the head and seized on its way down. Was a rich tune so no signs of detonation.. Literally just blew up from pressure. I have not taking it fully apart yet too see if it snapped from coolant or not.
nice build you've probably finished already but
1 strut tower brace
2 subframe connectors
3 lightweight roll cage
4 stiffer sway bars
5 work on weight distribution
as a reference a guy on fastest car on Netflix made a civic hatch all wheel drive (2019) it was really fast
