Project: "EJWONE"
Ok People I would like to share with the Honda-Tech members My EJ1 build. This is my second EJ1, so this time I am doing everything right, so this will be a slow thought out process. I will be doing a auto to manual conversion as well as a B18b1 swap into this car. I will also be doing some JDM parts installs and hopefully if things go well a full suspension install.
This is "EJWONE' a 1993 Civic Ex Coupe
So here He is when EJ1Rider owned him.
Here He is on the trailer going home.
Here he is the first and last time for a while on the street with his gurl Elsie!
Now the build begins, here are the before shots
Crossed Drilled and Slotted Rotors came with it but there was this horrible noise when driving sounded like a bad axle, well it ended up being loose lug nuts and braking system. So I got 4 bad lug studs on the pass front.
I am taking the rotors to work with me tomorrow to resurface them I will then reinstall them on the car and prep it for the motor swap and conversion.
Stay Tuned!
::**UPDATE 29 JULY 06**::
Ok so today I went to work at 7 this morning and I got out at 4 I came home and started to work on the cars.
SO here is how it begins!
93 automatic D16z6
95 Integra 5 Speed B18B1 with exedy racing clutch and tricks to the trans!
The "Technicians"
Messing with something to get this bad boy out!
Chrissy hard at work
My Pops Watching Chrissy work LOL
Now what?
Use the Gun and take off the axle nut
Here is the right hand side wiring and everything but the motor mounts cleared out so it can be pulled
power steering pump disconnected from the motor brackets and everything out of the way getting it cleared so I can just drop it out!
Thats all for now as I am tired and Chrissy is too maybe tomorrow we will work on it some more.
Stay Tuned!
UPDATED 30 JULY 06
Ok so I got up this morning and I did not have plans to do anything with the cars today. Chrissy went to church and I was tired and stayed in bed well I got restless and got up got ready and went out side. I looked at the green coupe over and over again and I looked at what I had left to do.
It was not much just the drivers side axle and then the motor mounts so I got to it and I got it like this.
Up Up and away!
Rollin to her standby spot
Look Ma its empty
Powered By Dina!
Now to this!!!
More Progress:
drivers side torque mount removed
AC Compressor, condensor, fans and power steering removed
right side all disconnected except for mounts
Zero, Zip, Nada!
Here is the setup as it sits, I want to Thank Chrissy for supporting me and my Dad and Daughter for setting up the tent thingy and getting me water, the sun has taken its toll on me and has won for today.
So I wont touch the car again until maybe friday or saturday after work.
Stay Tuned!

So I worked on the Coupe today! After Work I started to remove the D16z6 from the White EJ1!
The Engine Bay is a little Dirty so I am gonna really Clean it up and Possibly do a Wire Tuck and maybe one or 2 other things.
This is all for Now I have to save up the money to get the Motor Mounts and Pay Billy Back so I dont know when the next Update will be.
Stay Tuned!
UPDATED 6 AUG 06
OK I worked on the some of the little things that I can right now as money is tight, and this is just free elbow grease work that I could do. It not complete but it is a step in the right direction for me.
I am still debating whether or not to do a wire tuck, I dont think the engine bay is cluttered and I dont see the benefits of doing it. I might tuck the harness that is attached to the engine but again not sure yet.
Stay Tuned!
UPDATED 13 AUG 06
My boy works for a plating company and he glassbeaded my valve cover so now its ready for paint
Took the pedals out of the White Coupe
Minor wire tuck coming up just need time and maybe some advice
Stay Tuned!
UPDATED 30 AUG 06
Ok Update
Pedals are in
Booster and brake master Cylinder is out and getting painted
Clutch slave Cylinder line is in
Cleaned this up but did not get a pic of it cleaned
Test Fitting the JDM Headlights and Corners! :jdm:
Took this Crap out but the camera batteries died so when I get batteries and have time to work on the car then I will take a Pic
My Mount should be here in a few days so stayed tuned as the motor should be in this weekend and maybe I should be able to start it but who knows I have had something MAJOR Happen in my life and I really dont feel like doing anything I am working on the car because I need a ride to work so lets see what happens
Stay Tuned!
UPDATED 9 SEPT 06
Ok so these were taken with my Phone I just got batteries for my camera yesterday.
GoodBye Automatic Shifter!
This is the Hole that will have to be patched up since the manual car does not use it I will make a plate and weld it in.
Ok so I took off my knuckles so I can take them to work and replace the bad ball joints and replace the lug studs that are damaged.
Bad Ball Joints!
I also removed the power steering Rack as it was leaking and its so much easier to do it with the motor out! I will install the rack from the green coupe and install new outer and inner tie rod ends
And took these off in preperation for something better
Stay Tuned!
UPDATED 12 DEC 06
Ok so I have not been able to work on the car due to personal issues then after they were resolved I could not work on it due to lack of money and lack of parts
so here is "EJWone" as it sits right now these pics are kind of depressing and I will let them tell the story.
As of now I am unsure when I will be able to work on it and get it running parts that are needed are missing and money is tight right now. So it might sit like this for a while!!
No upper control arms yet :frown:
Notice the battery tray painted FROst white!
Sanded out the Scratches and painted the rail.
Brake Booster painted and Master Cylinder installed!
FROST on my JDM headlights and corners
My B Series covered up and needing love!:frown:
Automatic shifter hole plate made and welded still need to finish welding it!
Rear Drums with no rear lower control arms or rear Uppers! Rear Disc here we come!
This is the last shot before I tarped it up for the winter!
Stay Tuned!
Here he is all tarped up and waiting patiently till the time when I have money to get it going again!

Ok so today was my first weekend off at work and the first beautiful day in along time weather wise! So I decided to work on "EJWone" and make some progress towards getting him on the road!
Here is my trusty Winter beater helping out "EJWone"! Whats that in the Bed of the Truck Reppin the Coupe Council?
Ok so everyone knows what the trailing arms look like with drums
This is what it looks like with out the drum and brake shoe's and the rear bearings on!
This E-Brake cable will never be used again on this Coupe! Man is this a bitch to get out in one piece so I used a die grinder and cut it off!
I disconnected the brake hose here since they won't need to be used any more either!
Here He is with absolutely no rear suspension trailing arms are OUT!
This is what will go on now! PIC FTW! OEM Bolts FTW!!
4 of these will be needed 2 for each side!
2 of these for the rear shocks!
Bam here it is!
PIC FTW is all I got to say!
Thanks to Lionel for the help here!
Working it!
Achieved!
Getting the Integra Rear Trailing arms ready to mount!
Here I am mounting it up!
Like a Glove!!!
Damn that **** is Dropped!
On to the Front I am burning daylight now!
Damn that Bronze and red look good together!
Spindle on and Now just awaiting the front lower forks!
Shot with the front lifted up and the rear on the ground! SO SEXY!!!
So I had to Lower the front just to see what it would look like at this height and being level!
Thats all for now expect more updates tomorrow again!

Re: (John M)
I will take pics of the green coupe tomorrow and show why I wanted a new shell I just did not want to have to deal with any rust and since the car had been in a few accidents before I got it I thought it was time to let it go and start something new.
Thanks for the comments to everyone!
