I had this car for almost a year now and im ready to get it how I want it, so im starting somewhere. This is my first build and cant wait to see how it comes out. Im new to the scene so any comments like me know how you feel about my ride. Im going for a slammed ef civic or a daily driver.. pics of the car


Finish product after working on the structure

 

good start.....wat r ur plans

 

clean so far..dude get you another intake mani..there prolly pretty cheap...id go with a
y8 one but vtec is a good start..i see a tein sticker do we have some springs under there or what?...always in for more pics

 

wait so you're rockin a dpfi d16y7? nice nice. whats the specs of your car? i gotta say, that driving a slammed car is meh. lowered is nice, but driving a slammed car kind of takes the fun out of driving, you have to watch for EVERYTHING. but that's just my opinion. your car looks clean man!

 

i love the white hatches. if you didnt already buy the suspension, dont slam it.just lower it a bit

 

Its a honda civic dx version that it automatic . It has a d16y7 engine when I got it for the first time. My plans are to lower it and try to put some nice wheels on it. Another thing I want to do to the engine is change it into a stick shift and get the engine bay looking clean aka some wire tucking.the body is to fix the rust spots and get a jdm front end conversion with foglights. I want to keep the engine the same but clean it up. So its my first car project and would any advice from anyone.

 

jdm front are nice..and exspensive.
when you locate a tranny make sure its a si.
you can still use your auto ecu, but i think youll need a pedal assembly off a manuel as well
more pics please..how clean is the inside?

 

What did you use to paint your support? Check my thread out

 

auto to manual swap is not hard, just a bit time consuming. but do able.

here's my gift to you:

shows everything you need to do for an auto to manual swap

 

Thanks for all the advice so far on my build. This engine is a d16y7 engine, which tranmissions work on this engine? any 88-91 si tranmssion?? And I use rustoleum high performance enamel paint, work real well against rust and other surfraces, and it dried fast and look even better. Im having a problem with the usual honda cancer..and thought about that?? let me know and ill add more pics when i work on my car.

 

reason why i ask is because im trying to achieve a certain shine. heres some of mine

 

That awesome..I really like how it came out with your civic, Im going to paint my bay white and try to keep it stock. I have rust forming on the lower and upper parts of the rear wheels, one side is worse than another..I want to fix this problem for good, any suggestions? fiber glass, metal work ...let me know.. for now im looking for a dash cuz my dad accidentally snap a part off and im going to work on the interior..

 

Coming along nicely dude..

 

 

lol i havnt seen any progress yet...
just shifts build posted up....

 

Nice painting 'shift'!
What did you use? (can't find your thread)
Prep work?

 

new update and I have a question... Can you use a crx interior in a civic interior??..Im looking to purchasse a crx si (the body is garbage ..lol)for interior parts and the tranmission. I want to use the dash and all the interior parts I can use. I need answer super quick cuz I might purchase the car tomorrow..and here some pics too on the progress of my car.

Took off headlights and painted behind too.



Front bumper with lip found at junkyard, I dont know if jdm or american cuz it has the cutout for the foglights?? Any comments?

 

The JDM SiR bumper has wrap-around corners.
I would expect all JDM hatches to have the wrap-around too, but maybe not.

I think you can tell by the license plate holes too.
My SiR bumper plate holes were closer together than the USDM.

 

Do you know anything about the interior pieces?? I would appreciate the help in anyway possible. Thank you

 

the bumper isnt jdm if thats what your talkin about...
i cant see the lip good enough to tell what it is..i would suspect its a si lip..
i think the following will fit
dash
seats
cluster
im not sure on the door panels
..lets see some updates when you get it!

edit: haha i just realized thats your bumper with the new lip..deet da dee!

 

wow looks good. i like things nice and clean.

 

you can use door panels from a crx, i've done it. same stuffs. seats might need a seat pan swap but is do able, carpet is usable, so is dash, if you want to get creative swap out the manual climate control in your hatch with the electronic stuff from the crx, then you can use an EG climate control unit if the crx one is cracked. but as far as rear interior panels, no.

 

i got the crx from the middle of nowhere... the interior is good except seats(which I dont need). I got it which a d15b2 engine and tranmission, can I use the tranmission on my d16y7? does it fit or not? And here our some pics from the crx. After i use all the pieces that i want, ill put whatever left for sale.

 

doesnt look to bad imo if you part her out lemme have thos front nuckles unless its an hf..
and yes the tranny will work..might be a little long geared do you not have one from the y7?

 

Update, I got busy on seeing what the problem with the crx and wanted to see if it ran...all it needed was a battery, It sounds better than my white civic.. lol.. So I took out the dash and im going to take out the wire harnesses out so I can transfer it over to my white civic.
