Been busy last couple months stripping the civic down, essentially a bare shell now other than a couple panels left on and engine still needs to come out. Plan is to nut and bolt the whole thing, remove all old undercoating, repair rust etc. but before painting and sealing the underside I’ll...

Not a lot going on still, daily taking priority and getting sorted in the new house (finally a garage!) Next step is probably strip the suspension one last time and start tackling the underside, found some surprises few months back under the sideskirts and in the crevasses but nothing to...

Thanks man

Can’t remember what I’ve done since the last update on this, in the process of buying a house so the civics on hold for now and my daily (323i e46) needs a bit of tlc as well. I do however have a stack of parts waiting to go on the civic, mainly just seals, boots, timing belt and water pump...

Well timing belt failure and poor machine work meant it never ran right, the plan is still to source another head and have it built back up to how it was. This time on ITB’s and a full Toda valvetrain to compliment the Toda cams.

Not much going on, went and installed a DC2 air box, tidied up the interior wiring some more (had a few issues but finally figured it out thanks to some forum members). Spent god knows how long polishing my exhaust manifold just need a new rad and refurb the valve cover then that’s it right now...

It works out a lot cheaper than buying new and looks mint!

Thanks man, Appreciate the tip I’ll give it a go!

Yep, polished the solenoid and alternator by hand and zinc plated the hardware and casing on the alternator

keep telling myself it’s not a show car but I can’t help but clean and make pointless shiny bits! :lol:

Same old same old, just saving for some tasty parts and maybe some bodywork but did get these PCI front camber arms the other day and oh my they are perfect

I’ll be putting 215/45’s on though after they’re refurbed so will sit very close to the arch. Hope that helps.

Tried my first set of 16” wheels on a few months back. Work RSZ negatives in 16x7 with a +42 offset (10mm spacer in front essentially making it +32) tyres were 205/45’s

Cut the rear bumper for some extra ‘kanjo’ points lol

Have checked them out before, their products are easily the best out there from what people have said. May have to invest in some of their kits!
