So here it is, ever since i got my 06 habi si i have wanted to get a hatch to do a k20 swap in it. Well it finally happened, i picked up my 94 Honda Civic CX back in February of 2011 with half and engine, for 500 bucks. I think its a damn good price.
I am building this car for time attack events and strictly cornering/race purposes only. I am going to be doing everything myself so this should be very fun and i have a good shop to do it in. I hope all you enjoy watching the progress as much as i love love building it!! I will be putting a k20z1 motor in with the stock 6 speed tranny, well i hope you enjoy!!!

Are those door panels JDM ones? Where there matching seats that came with them?

 

No they are just peices of sheet aluminum that i got and i cut out exact shape of door panel and used self taping screws.

 

hahaha, no I meant the old ones with the red, wondering if they are from a chubu civic.


Nice build though.

 

subscribed

 

haha oh my bad honestly i doubt it this car was in horrible condition when i got it think they ghetto rigged those panels to look like that.

 

Look's like it's going to be a very entertaining build. Good luck OP can't wait for more.

 

looks great! looking forward to seeing more of this!

 

Alright, no problem. I just saw a high end build with Chubu colors and got a little to excited.

 

Can't wait to see the finished car. Good luck.

 

helluva project you got there!

nice work!

 

Nice stuff here, loving all the colors!

 

thanks everybody for the positive comments, it def helps me out knowing i'm doing a good job and people enjoy it, since its my first swap/build. The finish colors will be Car- white Wheels-Black engine bay-green with orange valve cover.

 

Don't know bout green engine bay but white EG yumm!

 

Cool man. Just open the wallet and the car can almost put itself together. What are you going to do with those fenders? They look pretty bad.

 

In the picture that has the parts in the back of my truck those are brand new fenders and brand new bumper.

 

Keep it up, looking forward to seeing this thing on the track!

 

Thanks can't wait to finally drive it, uh im dreaming but that day is near.

 

BUMP!!

 

You're going to weld down the passenger side mount right ? what suspension set up are you going with what spring rates will you be running along with what RSB ?. just curious why didn't you go with spherical bearings for the FLCA/RLCA/RTA/UCA they make a huge difference if you have all of them I like mine that's why I'm asking. As for aero you going with a splitter/rear diffuser form P1 motor sports ?. defiantly has the potential to be a fast time attack car, where are you racing it ?.

 

Damn i didnt know i was being interviewed haha.. but thanks for the curiosity!
I know getting all the bushing replaced would have made it feel better and all but all the flca and rlca are brand new with new bushing once those all wear out then i will get the whole kit and do every single one and im not sure what coilovers i am going with but most likely tein flex. No splitter or wings at first but jay's racing has a great wing that im looking at. And why would i weld the passenger mount down?

 

Love the brake set-up. Very nice build man!

 

Tein flex's are what I ran my first season, I liked them a little soft tho with 10/7K I switched this season with some MCS shocks and 20/16K springs w/32mm hollow bar. Why not weld it the OEM side mounts are welded just more secure, yah just interested as not many ppl do time attack oriented builds, more auto x etc. Came kinda close to making it to the global time attack SLB at buttonwillow last year awesome to watch if you live in the area tho. alot of neat stuff gets posted here https://honda-tech.com/forums/road-racing-autocross-time-attack-19/

 

Thanks for all the input. I'm gonna friend you maybe we can do some track days together once my build is done which should be soon. I'm really close to buttonwillow and willow springs those are the two track I have been to already with my 06 civic so which just had skunk2 springs stock shocks cold air intake dc race header greddy cat back full tune and password Jdm rotors up front with hawk pads. And I ran 13cw and my best lap time time was 2:15 so I can't wait to see what this bad boy will do. I will be contacting you about information since you have more experience!
