Back at it again with an EK hatch build
*DISCLAIMER*
This build may not be for everyone so if it bothers you that much feel free to click back.
So a couple of buddies and I decided to do a little group project (drag car but still clean) since it's 1000x cheaper than it would cost to build our other cars. so i will try to document every little bit of change that the hatch goes through.. please be patient and enjoy!
It's a 96 civic with 200xxx miles on the body. Currently has a d16 series with unknown miles and big oil leak from somewhere. Luckily it already came equipped with 00-99 front end conversion, front seats and power window/ lock conversion. I was also lucky enough to have rusty quarter panels on both sides...YAY!
Yes i know this is a rusty shell that will take some time and money to clean up but don't all projects start off like that?? Also note that this chassis was for the FREE so dont comment saying "You have a GTR why would you BUY a rusty civic when there are better ones out there" #stfu
......

.
First off let me show you some of my old and current toys so you guys can have a better idea of how this project will end up..
850hp evo 8 (sold)
500hp s2000 (sold)
580hp C5 Procharged Vette (current)
750hp FBO GTR (current daily)
On to the EK hatch...

Re: Back at it again with an EK hatch build
Hi I have a question, I just bought a 98 EK Civic, no engine or tranny yet, should I get a B18 Engine or a B20 Engine? I do want to turbo it... Any ideas or suggestions?

Re: Back at it again with an EK hatch build
Decided to change out the dusty shift boot with the common eBay black suede/ red stitch shift boot. It does look ALOT better tho

Re: Back at it again with an EK hatch build
i may not be the best one to be asking since I myself am getting back into the civic scene so still doing research. But I've heard people go more towards a sleeved b20 bottom end and a gsr head combo for boost.

Re: Back at it again with an EK hatch build
Gonna call a bluff on this whole thread. Sorry, I'm an OG builder, been at this a long time.
Here's 2 quick reasons why:
1. We'll, there's no way someone with a Corvette and a GTR of the quality pictured (or, just period) would have enough ignorance to take on this project. Someone with an IQ and checkbook of that nature would not buy a Civic with rusted out rear quarters. They would wait for a clean chassis, as plenty are out there in the US. Even if they lived in a hard-winter state, they would surely know the cost of time and money to cut/weld/smooth-in the new rear quarters would far outweigh the costs to ship a rust-free chassis in from a dry state.
2. First mod was an Ebay shift boot...not even an OEM ITR boot....on a gray center console...with multiple pictures of it, as if we needed an illustration of ricer-boy mods?
Things just aren't lining up with past builds versus present choices. And if they are, this build AND thread are off to an odd start...
One fact that this could legitimately be the same owner of all cars presented is the graphics on the rear of the GTR, referring to "the nudes". You know, children ride on the roads as well? I'd be super-pissed trying to explain your decal to my children while waiting behind you at a stop light. And you daily this thing? That's not cool, that's distasteful, and rude to make other pedestrians and their young ones endure such explicit language.

Re: Back at it again with an EK hatch build
Ok I get it, so you're going to start replacing the interior parts to just pull it back out when you decide to gut it for a drag car. I guess I got confused since this was the appearance build thread and not the drag racing thread.

Re: Back at it again with an EK hatch build
if you're referring to the shift boot as replacing interior parts then yes I guess so lol. Friend gave it to me so why not. I also did not know there were two separate build type of threads. Should I delete this one or will I be okay?? 😏
