Default kiwi eg coupe build.

hey guys i just got bored so i though i would share my build with ya guys.

the car is a 95 civic ex. the plans are as fallows

as for the motor i am going to run a b20v for now

b20 bottom with je 12.5-1 pistons
eagle rods
acl bearings

head is a gsr head.
super tech flad faced valves
super tech springs
super tech retainers
sk2 pro1 cams

here is the block nice and honed


here is the crank on the machine the guy uses to ballance


brand new pistons and rods :D


and the finished product :D



as for the trany i dont reallyhave any pictures of the build but it is a b16b tranz my buddy blew the dif out so we just put in a gsr dif and i went ahead and put in a gsr 5th in it as well... she looks pretty though :D



the nasty old red faded paint... i actually was tryingo to sell this shell and it never left my yard so i decided to build it. so here it is as i was taking it apart




and here is what she came home looking like after the paint :D





alright as you can see the subframe and stuff looks like crap so i took it out and painted it and painted the stearing rack as well i dont plan on keeping the power stearing so i have a feeling i will be taking it back out agani to replace with a manuel rack but anyways here is some pics
before

after



also i pressed in all new bbushings in my front control arms figured i would replace everything since i have tell springs to drive this beast anyways

i did not paint the car my self... i had a local body shop do it cuz i konw the guy there so i could not tell you..... but if you prep your car very well you can almost use any compresser that holds a steady pressure...you will normally have the regulater on the tank and one on the gun you will turn the tank one up pretty high and make the right pressure with the one on the gun that way you can keep steady pressure
