My 1990 EX Time-Line / Build progress
Hey guys ive been working on my 1990 ex 4-door civic for some time now and been geeting lazy with the new baby and all.. just wanted to post some pics up LMK what u think. ALL WORK WAS DONE BY ME.
my goal was gunna be a. auto-x / time-attack / street car and still be EXTREAMLY LOW BUDGET. (i got it back when my wife first got pregnant. but she has her own car now)
So far ive only spent about $2300-$3000 in parts including my LS SWAP ($600) thanks to craigslist and FloridaHondaClassifieds.com.
My motor was missing the Half-shaft, alternator was off a single cam and the bracket was bent to fit , a B20 crank pulley and my trans grinded third sometimes and popped out of second,had a bent cam gear ..soo i kinda got ripped off but i fixed everything. (bout $150 thanx to ebay and my buddys junkyard)

$160-ish- ebay motor mounts
$25-new seals for trans (i have a 94+ half-shaft)
$120-ish NEW cv-joints (have a hook up at autozone they covered with lifetime warrenty so IDGAF is its "cheap" or low quality compared to other axles.

$40 -alternator
$40-to modify 90-93 accord
radius rods got them for FREE at the JUNKY!(had ARZ Race machine mounts and they sat the motor pretty low i actually prefer the ebay these atleast they sit the motor higher and less angled foward like ARZ RACE and HASPORTS)
Freebies

I know im forgetting some things ill add on later as i remember.. now for the pics
The pin for the diff. decided to let go right around 6800 rpm when i was shifting into second this was the end result
Before i got the car cover..lol
Accord radius / traction rods (i used both passenger sides or driver i 4got . one is just a thin tube and the other side looks like these so i just got both from diffrent accord)
After i blew my trans . just put motor in
Next time i might shave inside the engine bay , tuck brake lines ,paint and bodywork .
