Hi. I'm new to HT. I joined a while back just to look at the Marketplace.
Anyway, I'm mostly on other civic forums website looking at stuff and learning.

I have a 2000 Civic EX and a 2005 Civic EX. I work mostly on my '05.

Here he sits on Summer 2012.

It was NA, with Crower Stage 1 Camshaft, DC 4-2-1 Ceramic Header, Apexi Cat-Back and some other stuff, but the downfall was it's an AUTOMATIC. So I went to swap the Transmission.





Here he sits now...





I've been doing a lot since November, but I don't have much time.
I only work on it once a week for like 5-8 hours tops.
I take pictures when I can, maybe start a built thread or something.

The questions I always get are
"What's your plan for it?"
I'm going turbo.

"Why not go for a K-Swap?"
Because I don't feel like it, I always think of it, and I say I'll do it after I turbo my D17. Plus, It's gonna be expensive for what my dream K-Swap is.
I already got good deals with my turbo stuff for my D17.

Already build the head with Supertech Valvetrain.
Got it for $315 w/ Valves, Ti-Retainers, Springs and Seals.



I already have a lot of stuff that I accumulated over the past few months.
I get them for a reasonable price since I shop around. Being cheap runs in the family.

Hondata K-Pro $950
Hondata Camgear D17 w/ 2.5 Bar Sensor $90
K-Tuned FPR kit $135
Wiseco Forged Pistons $380
TSI Turbo Kit $500, I'll upgrade the turbo, just using as a base for now.
5-Speed Swap around $550 ($400 for trans w/ <70k miles and frame)

Still deciding between K1 or Molnar Rods, I know it's very similar.
OEM Bearings as well.

I'm doing a tuck as well, but not shaving since I don't know how to weld.
Here's a few snapshots of my brake lines, I'm keeping ABS.
These are only mock-up lines so I know what goes where in what positions.
I'm using AN and OEM fittings..






Anyways, Hello again..
Maybe I'll update when I get time. Comments and advice are always helpful.

 

Dang, three days and no replies? Tough crowd.
