Default Mai Black 2000 Civic Si EM1 Build

So ... here we go again haha

I got myself a new project! A 2000 EM1 ... for the most part, I just got it as a rolling shell with interior. Here are a few pictures of how I got it ...







First thing I did was buy a couple fenders from JDMCARBOY and primered the front end ...



oh and it's a CLEAN title

As for the engine, I noticed it had a bad connector and found out that it was a crank position sensor ...



Got the new one installed and while the engine was out, did the timing belt and water pump.





oh, and mounted up the tranny

yeh I couldn't pass it up - though once I got into it I'm missing more things than I thought but that's always the case haha

it was missing the tranny, clutch, flywheel, pressure plate, linkage, cluster, fenders, header bolts, radiator, rims ... bunch of stuff. And now that I am getting more into it, a few mounts and I'm sure more to follow ...

Just going to use it as a DD, maybe even trade it when it's done knowing myself. Not sure yet.

Don't know where that engine came from, but it looks like you have the wrong drivers side engine mount post, not the mount

Here is a new one i bought for my engine

You actually need the 2 post block mount for this to work. Part number 11910-P30-000.

You thought about tucking the headlight wires in the fender? Doesn't take that long and since you got everything out it'd be a little easier.

Nice find though I'll be keeping up with this build and the best of luck!

decided to do some work yesterday on this ... was missing a BUNCH of bolts here and there including alot of the bolts for the engine mounts. And some of the mounts I got were wrong. Soo, oRdered all of those and got most of those in and did some work on my project.

Yesterday we put the axles in and while I was in the area I had the rotors turned ....
