I left the Honda scene for awhile, and moved on to Volkswagen. I have now returned to Honda's after realizing I wasn't as interested in VW's as I thought I would be.

This build is going to either be something I will receive a lot of love for, or a lot of hate. But, lets get on to the build.

This issue has been addressed. Thank you.

 

But still no pics?

 

Not quite yet it hasn't.

 

Sorry, This issue has now been addressed.

 

Questions, Comments, Suggestions?

 

How hard was it to wire the Teggy cluster? That's my tech question........what about the VW scene deterred you? I was in that scene too and it was different, kind of funny how those things work. What were you rocking, MK3 gti stanced and debagged? haha I was sitting on a 2013 Golf R for about a year and got rid of it.

 

Ah, wiring. Lol, I actually didn't do it myself, A friend of mine did. Ill get that info and post it here asap. I know a lot of the wiring is completely custom, but I'll see if he can't shoot me some sort of info on that for you.

As far as VW goes, it's not that I HATE it, I just like Honda more,

I had a APR Stage 3 Mk4 GTI, rave green, k04 turbo, slammed on ngp coils, 17" ESM wheels with some STRETCHED nitto neogens on the rear, you get the picture, a straight mob mobile, less than an inch of ground clearence.

For whatever reason, just not a huge fan, Hondas make me happy so it's onto this project, ill get the cluster information for you asap!

 

That'd be awesome if you could get that info up here, love me some teggy clusters. I'll put that on my list of things to do. Yea I felt like it was APR or go home, there's no middle ground and if there is it's slim to none. So what's first on your to-do list?

 

This isn't the Honda scene. This is clearly the DSM scene.



Am I the only one stuck on this...?

 

Yeah, haha VWs are fun don't get me wrong but there's just something about a Honda

First thing is a fresh oil change and a tune, which will be done Sunday. After that, just a few little things ill mess with, not a ton more, I picked up some Varrstoen Es7s, gonna get some stretched tires and spacers and stick them on, other than that not a ton of ideas as of right now.

 

Suck my ***

 

What ECU are you currently running? and that last comment made me laugh just a B18b set up? If so, any plans on upgrading the valvetrain?

 

Look up at my first post bud lol

 

haha I just looked at pictures, thought it looked a little funky, gotcha interesting set up here. Don't think I've seen this before!

 

Hahaha, pretty unique. That's why I like it.

 

Nice work so far, good luck

 

Why did you go 6 bolt and not 7 bolt?

 

Probably didn't want to replicate the picture above.

 

Stretched tires will be amazing for traction. Please. Just don't.

 

Because 6 bolt equals no crank walk.

 

why would you swap a DSM motor in a civic? my brain hurts......
