Gettin_theres build thead - Going into hibernation
So ive come to a point in my life where i feel comfortable doing a complete restore to my civic. Not to mention a long list of other reasons why it should and needs to be. Mainly imperfections that really get under my skin. Also could have something to do with my license being suspended soon.

Thanks! And yea that was just everything I could ever dream of haha. I'll get most of it tho. Just finished reading thru your build thread. Your crx is mint!
Got a few ?s
1 - where did you order new door hinges from. My doors sag and rub on the bottom of the door jam. Defiantly wanna fix that before paint!
2- did you ever figure out how to wire in the oem fog lift switch. I'd love to have one of those over a toggle switch any day

So I got some work done to the whip yesterday. Got the front end off and the single v out. Gonna start cleaning the bay and other parts today. Post pics later
sorry for the noob question but the third pic,what are those wheels? ive seen them on a bunch of EF's and im really interested in getting a set. good build man.

Thanks. There called diamond racing wheels. Just google em, you'll find there web site. There really cheap, like 69.99 a peice. Only down side is there extremely heavy. I weighed one of mine and it was almost 45lbs w/ tire.
15x8 0 offset with 195/50 tires. Deffinatly recommend smaller tires. Buddy of mine had 165/45s on the same size and offset and had no problems. With the 195/50 your definatly gonna need to roll/ pull fenders and camber kits if you wanna tuck. Also I heard if you get the "spun" version of there wheels there lighter by like 1/2
So here are finally some pics of the front end off and engine coming out. i started out just taking the bumper off to fix my fog light. And ended up taking the whole thing apart












Will post more later. Unfortunately not much work has been done to the car.
But its getting there. Feelin super pumped to do work!

Did you swap your doors to 88 style?
I dont think the jdm glass will fit due to the door mounted belts.
JDM is more 88/89si style.
