After getting sick and tired of all the hassal of my old Integra that some of you may remember. I did the unthinkable and sold it! (Seen Below) Now a little over a year later, I caught the bug and I picked up a 96 Civic Coupe Shell for a convenient deal.

Basic Plans :
Turbo B18B Swap w/ LSD Trans (250-300whp)
Shaved and Wire Tucked Motor Bay
4 Wheel Disc Break Swap

Purpose :
Clean Streetable Coupe... Attend local shows and auto-x and drag events. All that doesnt break the bank account.

The car that started the addiction...


Civic a week after I got it :

- Minor Exterior Parts Removed, Entire Underdash Removed..ect









Stage 2: Blower/AC/ABS/PS All taken out to completly rid the the underdash and engine bay of un-needed parts.

- Underhood Harness's Removed Prepping for Full Wire Tuck. Battery and Fuse box also removed. Fuse box will be relocated to under dash, Unsure of the battery right now.







Stage 3:

-Prop valve taken out, anything else unneeded removed, Brake booster,Mastery Cylinder, ect.ect. You can spy the Intercooler also!









Brake Swap :

-Rear Drums Have been dropped. 98 GSR Rear Brake Setup Going In place along with 22mm CTR Swaybar and ASR Subframe Brace and SRR LCA's, Brembo Rotors and Hawk Pads w/ Stainless Lines all around!






My little workshop..






Some New Tools ::::
-Best Solder Gun to date for me..


- And a Mig good enough to weld all the unneeded holes shut in my bay! I dont want any cracking!


Let me know what you guys think!

 

Hooked on the Honda cracked! Good luck with the project, I am doing a similar engine bay treatment as well

Same, got me a rust free EG coupe to work with as a boosted DD this summer.

 

looks like a sweet project, make sure you keep us update. i love these threads.

 

that's alot of work man

 

Keep us posted on the updates... I would love to see this EK when you are done! Good Luck!

 

Jack stands anyone? looks kinda unsafe with a pile of wood that high

 

Thanks for all the good comments. Ill be updating like once a week!

The wood blocks are all screwed togother, I only put it up that high for the rear Disc swap..Coming back down on jackstands once the suspension is in place.

 

looks like fun .... im curious about your integra though, why did it break your bank account vs. this civic

 

The teg broke the bank because It was a show car/ rarely driven daily. Between Recaros, The Front End, All the $$$ JDM parts, it adds up very quickly.

This civic will be the definition of function. I will be saving alot of money by going with what works, not with what gets show points.
