Hi guys, figured I'd take a stab at my first build thread with hopes of getting lots of help from you H-T experts as I go along! I acquired this 94 CX hatch belonging to my deceased brother Brian (known to many of you on here as Turbodcx) he last had the car running mid 10's on a stock Type R with over 25psi before she blew up.

He passed away in Feb. 2007 so everything has been sitting awhile.. he had just picked the car up from being painted and caged so everything was stripped/gutted!!! I have started putting small things back together like the power brake booster, clutch master cylinder, lines (all stainless braided) and pulling the wiring harnesses back through the firewall. Anyway, heres a few pics of this weekends progress as it sits. Motor is at the machine shop now getting a final hone, pics of it coming when I get it back and start building. It has been Darton sleeved, he was preparing for serious boost from the GT42r he had. I'm not going in that direction yet as being new to the Honda game I'm not ready to build, install, tune or maintain such a radical combo and I want to be able to drive it on weekends as a tribute to him at car shows and other events. I've slowly pieced together what I think will make a very decent all-motor platform that should last forever. More details on the motor later...

 

Sadly, thieves got to a lot of his stuff while he was on life support so as you can see I'm missing many items to assemble the car... still need door panels, ECU, passenger seat, trans, and I'm sure I'm leaving out things.

 

Looks like a good car. Sorry to hear about your brother man, I look forward to seeing this car come together. Should be a monster.

 

Thanks Fallrivercollin, its gonna be interesting to say the least!

Oh, and heres a few of the exterior with the new paint! The hood and hatch is all CF, bottom base color is original milano red.

 

Man this is a great story and build. Ill be tuned in to learn from you dog. I wish I had a hatch...i'd donate parts your missing. Im sure your bro is happy your finishing the whip! GL man.
And I just saw a thread about people suggesting the Milano Red....looks pretty good.

 

bump for a good thread!

 

GL with your build man. Do you have a motor atleast?

 

Yes I've been piecing his motor together for awhile now, I managed to grab the B18C sleeved block and 00 spec Type R head before the thieves got to it. The block is darton sleeved 84mm, with RS Machine slugs for 11.8:1, Scat Forged rods, ACL race bearings and I bought some BC Spec III cams for it (thieves got the type r cams).

I'll get some pics up of all the motor stuff here soon, once I get the block back...

 

Dude, that's an awesome way to honor your brother's memory. Keep us updated! Can't wait to see some video of the thing running 10's again!

 

Thanks fellas, really appreciate all the help I get from you guys on here!

With serious luck and other things on my side I hope to have it ready for HyperFest at Summit Point this year, it won't be anywhere close to 10sec ET's tho

 

good job!

 

Thanks all. I do have one thing to ask- Any ideas where I can pick up all the window molding and the strips that run across the roof in the drain channels?? I'm missing all that...

I want to get the car sealed up as quick as I can.

 

Majestic honda, google it. they literally have all those hard to find pieces

 

good luck with the build good platform

 

Good luck with the build and great job on doing this for your brother.

 

damn man sorry to hear about your loss. I'm looking forward to seeing you complete his ride.
p.s i hate thieves.

 

Good luck man, cool to see you honoring your brother! I'll stay tuned.

 

OMG it feels so good to see this thread! i havent seen this car since it was painted at our old shop.. i cant wait to see this things put together... you should really get in touch with justin who painted it.. he's a master at putting these things together and im sure he can help you out.. i cant wait till the time we can all cruise with the V8 KILLER on more time.. good luck with everything.. i dont think i have any EG parts left..

Bump for a good thread......and a great guy.......i also agree with what redhatchyguy said about getting ahold of our buddy justin......im sure he will help u get to where u wanna go. Good luck with the build and cant wait to see it

 

Man I miss Brian so much and it will be so nice to see this car back together. I still remember the day he came to pick the car up from me after paint. Like I said man if i have some free time and u need a hand hit me up I'd love to be a part of this car

 

Bump for a memorial build...good luck.

 

Oh just a lil info for you the bottom color is not original milano red. Brian wanted a mitsubishi color I dont remember the code but if needed I can find out

 

I bet he's smiling

 

Good lookin out for your brother dood! Good luck to ya, and looking forward to seeing progress!
