I have finally found a shell cheap enough that is easy to build without extensive body work.

here are some pics of it for now and I will be writing up what I will be doing with it in a little while.

 

I saw that color civic on the road today and said "who is their right mind would buy one of those."

Whats the project set-up?

 

ok here goes my explanation of what the car will be like hopefully by the end of next summer. It may not turn out exactly as planned but it will be close.

The car will have all of teh factory interior and hopefully the optional audio console and factory head unit so that I can retain my factory keyless entry and alarm.

The exterior will be of stock Civic EX flavor except for the headlights, they will be TYR projectors outfillted with my HID's that I originally bought fror my truck.

The car will be painted one of three colors (leaning heavily on second choice)
-Sandstone Silver Metallic
-Amazon Green Metallic
-Flamenco Black Pearl

The powerplant will be of my Dart flavor and it will have a USDM ITR trans and will be N/A

Suspension will be some sort of fully adjustable coilover that I can set up with my preffered rates for track use.

Wheels will be something forged for sure, possibly some CPO-35's or some CE28-n's

and it will have ITR front brakes and rear discs with the Function7 LCA's (that I already have)

 

i kinda dig that color.....its pretty rare where i live..but i say sandstone silver. Good luck bro

 

Whats the motor set-up?

Sounds like a good project.

 

i would say you got a nice project ahead of you...good luck....i thought i would ever get that d16y7 out of my dx...but with hard work i finally got out of it and went jdm b16...hope everything works out for you bro

that colour up here in BC is really common. So common in fact that its weird to hear you people even talk about it.
Good luck with the build

I find it funny that ur name is DirtySOl; since im the one with the dirtyest sol out there.

I'll post a pic in my project thread very soon.

Good luck with your project

 

Also wondering if you could modify that OEM D series clutch to put a little more power to the wheels. Is there some swapping of springs and such that might make this a possibility; and if so... I'll be glad to offer up some cash for that clutch.
