ok never owned a honda always wanted one but the time was never right. A friend of mine was taking this to the junkyard so i saved it. This is gonna be my new auto-x cars. This will be my 3rd auto-x build but deff my most challenging considering the rust dents nd lack of drive train.

plan is this

d15 bottom end with d16 10:1 pistons
d16y8 head with a snotty cam (looking for suggestions)
gsxr 1000 ITB's
d16y8 trans (convert car to manual)


heres some pics of getting it and starting on the rust.















the block nd auto tranny thats going away

 

fixed rear pan... dont mind the welds i have the crappiest welder known to man kind but im doing what i can wit it lol

 

Looking forward to the finished product!

Good luck.

 

thankyou ill post more pics tomorrow i fixed more rust today... and news is going sunday to pic up my d16y8 trans and auto to manual swap.

 

updates rear flares are welded on and almost all the rust is patched... all that is left is what is under the rear bumper by the fender wells... pardon the welds i am a great welder when i have a good welder this is a cheep one that has 2 heat settings only and it does not use Argon and CO2 shielding gas so all the welds look like crap but are very strong.

the cutting




welded on



grinded




self etching primer so that it doesn't start to rust before i can do the rest of the body work




and the gutted interior

 

best of luck with it bud , good luck with the rust

 

rust is almost all gone only 2 spots left that are gonna be covered by the bumper so im not worried lol

 

good to see another 4g saved from the scrap nice work bud

 

thankyou im gonna build this baby to the best of my ability probably gonna get flamed for the flares but with 9in wide and an offset of +20 wheels im gonna need them it was either that or just cut the flares because i borrowed a set for a test fit from a friend before doing this and with coilovers they would most deff rub and cut the tires

 

Good project car right there

 

Looks like a lot of work. Good luck with the build.

 

it is a lot of work but worth it... just got my d16y8 tranny sunday from D See 2 and also my auto to manual swap.

also today i got my single stage silver paint from my school for free with the hardner saved me about $150 which is awesome.

 

got the rear flares done and got the rear bumper mounted with all custom brackets because my car had none





had to cut the bumper to sit flush with the flares




custom mounts




mounted up


looks funny on those wheels

 

haha

 

ANy updates on this thing?
Im interested to see the outcome

 

updates are that the fender flares are now fiberglassed in sanded just got a skim coat of body filler to smooth it all out and are sanded and the car is now out for its paint job silver with a black roof

but...

car is actually up for sale ive run into money issues because of my school loans and cant afford to finish it... i do have a for sale thread up if anyone is interested $1100 theres alot of parts to go along with it... honestly if someone had $500 tops they could have a nice auto-x car or just a nice daily

also the block is out for machine work the price im asking is what i have into it at this point... sucks but nothing i can do

 

Maybe i missed the reason, but why are you using a 3rd gen bumper?

 

because i could lol no real reason actually besides that

 

I need a rear disc conversion for my STD as well as the bigger front hubs PM me if your willing to part.

 

pm'd

 

ok heres some pics of it now that its back from getting painted
