just for fun...

my gf`s first car she picked up for 900 bucks today
97 cx. .unmolested and stock..original keys and key chain as well

slam , tuck , clean , and gsr swap ..
anyone know if 94 integra koni yellows struts will work on the ek?

 

wryyyyyyy do people slam cars like that, jeebus!
That can't be comfortable NOR safe in any sense of the imagination.

Don't get me started on the propped hood like that.

 

i spent the day replacing the fuel lines on my 93 civic dx, complete PITA! but its all done now. hard line under the car and flex line from the axel to the filter.

 

 

I bled my brakes after putting on a new caliper in the rear of my 97 civic.....It was supposed to be an easy swap...wow was I wrong...

 

What made it difficult? calipers are cake to replace on our cars.

 

this should be on by friday :D

 

Hi Guys, just accomplished installing rear disc brake for my honda civic vti:

 

Walked into garage, looked at it and walked out.


On an actual note, I went out to finish rebuilidng my calipers only to find that the pistons are gone.

 

Today, i made a decision!!!!! Get my damn EM1 out of storage, even if it is just for a month or two, and get my engine swap done.....the one i rebuilt two years ago

 

Got the R Right RTA back on the car.

Found out I need a new front right upper control arm, ******* threads are wrecked some how, not to mention there is a big of play in the socket, ugh...

 

Can anyone tell me.how to remove the back fender? I need to bang out a dent

 

the rear fender is part of your cars chassis, it doesnt come off.
thats why those rear quarter dents are such a PITA
sorry

 

You still aren't done!?

It's spot welded on, it doesn't come off easily.

 

Washed and waxed my daily EK today

 

 

lot of propped hoods are b/c clearance....alot of v6's out of cl type s are running around ny at least under hoods of civics.

Ill deal with the propped hoods, its when they notch em out and let the engine show through the hole that i draw the line.

 

I never even drove the year this year, at all It's been in storage in a different city, somewhere safe. Last summer was kind of a write off for me too, all i did was work 60 hours a week and had no life.

I think i will use this Sept to really try and finish off the car. Install the new engine and tranny, readjust the rear of my suspension and bring it up a little to improve ride quality, plus drop it off at the body shop to refinish a new oem rear bumper and install a matching rear accessory lip (was tough to find, but glad i did)

 

LMFAO!

But seriously,


I bought one for like $100 I think.. Worked nicely. It's called a stud gun dent puller. Check places like Harbor Freight and online even.

 

Damn. I though you would have finished it for sure. lol

It's too bad she'll be right back into storage for winter.
It's good you have a place to keep it safe during the winter!!



You're not the only one though. This summer was supposed to "big" summer for my civic. I did nothing.

 

Put about 6 more hours into prepping for the refinish, full project thread:

-Turn the crank pully counter clockwise till the white mark is lined up with the two markers on bottom timing belt cover. (Pic 1)

-While the valve cover was off I -
- replaced valve cover gasket and spark plugs gasket.
- took out the VTEC solenoid and cleaned it and replaced the gasket (which only found at dealer for 20 bucks ).
- checked for valve movements if any loose ones and none.
- checked for valve clearance and they are within spec.
