vtec engine

 

front

 

coupe bumper, amber cornrs nd black housings

 

YES! Another 4door <3 Finally people are starting to build them. I've been working on my Ferio Clone for a year now lol. Finally getting ready to paint it <3 (;

 

I don't see any build going on here. OP, is there something you haven't told us yet?

 

looks like ****

 

The over-all project typically is divided-up into many mini-projects. Buy a white board and formalize a list of the mini-projects that you want to do. That will keep you more task focused and budget focused. Make the color of the car (stock interior color is easiest) uniform.

After that, personally, I'd keep replacing damaged body parts., fenders, doors, etc. A better general appearance will tend to foster a mind-set of continuing with future mini-projects of suspension, steering, brake and engine mods/swap.

As a general rule ***safety*** make it stop better, steer better and corner more predictably before you make it go faster. Sadly, most do the opposite when the other systems are not designed to support it.

The last picture shows some good progress. Keep it up! Post some photos with before/after captions in the garage. It helps followers, friends and even yourself to keep personally motivated when the haters swarm up against you.

 

Im confused....

What are you planning to accomplish? As of yet, all I see is half-assness. Nothing on your front end lines up good at all. Thats why you either stick with sedan front end parts, or if you want the coupe/hatch look....swap over everything and due it right.

 

The coupe/hatch "look"? It's the same "look" either way - it's an EJ1. The problem with those parts is the car has been beat to hell. I don't think there's a single body panel in those pictures that isn't dented.

 

Sorry man...not really following what your saying here...
ej1 what?
Coupe/hatch front ends differ from a sedan. Any part you try and swap over will not exactly fit right unless it has the same corresponding part.

Coupe/hatch "look" is mainly refeering to the different bumper...as it is different from the sedan. So it really cant be the same "look".

 

Whatever you build, it reflects it's foundation. If you know the history of the car and it hasn't been knocked totally out of wack, you have a lot of body work ahead of you. Fine if it's part of your skill set. Over the years, I've seen a lot of jems born out of insurance totaled fluster-clucks, so I know that it's doable. The industry, given their agendas and being the scam that it is, isn't the final say - you are.

If you don't personally know the cars history, I'd take it to a good body shop, spend the $75 - $100 bucks and have them put it on their frame rack and verify the sub-frame reference points to make sure that it's got a good straight foundation. If the numbers are good, then press-on and hone you body-work and panel replacement skills. If the numbers don't add up to the Honda specs call-outs, scrap it, get another one and press-on.

 

I'm currently doing a EG and EJ simultaneous project. Generally speaking, even though they (the 2 dr vs. the 4 dr) are technically different with different fenders and bumpers, doesn't the sedan look like the coupe with an extra set of doors?

 

I suppose they do if you really think the front bumpers between the two look the same...which they look totally different.

 

No, they do in a "general style (qualified) sense", not in a sub-set specific sense. Both even share the same long sub-frame length as compared to the EG.

On a side note, it took a while for me to figure that one out as I was having issues doing the disk brake swap into my EJ coupe. Everyone was saying that the ebrake cables are the same while they're not. The EJ coupe takes the longer set from either a 4 dr Teg or a 4 dr Civic sedan with (rare) disk brakes. Live and learn.

 

all damaged body parts u seee r fixd vtec engine i put in myself i cant seem to find a way to put all the pictures but i will heres the latest pic.... hopefull next week i will paint electron blue

 

You plan on changing the cars 4x4 status?

 

4x4?

 

I was having that problem a few days ago and discovered high resolution photos don't go through. Look at how big your photo file size is on the photos that are getting bumped.

Electron Blue, WOW!!! That sounds pretty wiled.

 

i no i cant multiple photos on but o well

and ya its a blue common in 96 & up civic coupes but rarely ever seen in eg sedans im trying to make my car stand out

 

Are you gonna put the wing on it. A friend of mine at work did that to his 4 dr and it looked pretty cool.

 

Has huge wheels and looks lifted....

EBP will look really nice...especially if you paired it with some em1 wheels.

 

i want to like rlly bad but im having a hard time finding one lol well i found some but they ask to much

 

i dont think ill go 4x4 im a short person i dont wanna embarass myself in a car bigger than me

 

"...and so it goes"
