Hey guys ive been commenting on here awhile now and i thought id do a little build thread, progress is slow as this is the first civic im doing all the work myself in my spare time. Im not exactly new to building Hondas but i usually pay others to build them for me like my last b16a turbo Eg4 so its a learning experience for me so c&c is welcom but progress will probably slow.

Anyhow the current spec is
B90-p ssb ej9 d14z4
Personal Number Plate
Rota Grids 15x6.5 in white with crappy tyres
Amber fog lights & headlights
Colour coded with ariel delete
Black Ap1 S2000 seats with re covered doorcards
Buddyclub spec 4 cat back
Weitec hicon coilovers
Mugen style steering wheel with snap off boss
Its pretty clean only a little rust on the one arch which when the weathers right ill sort out.

Ive got some 5x114 ek9 hubs that im going to clean and spray up, change brakes, braided lines and rebuild the calipers put exteded studs in, polybush the rear trailing arms then get all the camber parts so the alignment will be adjusted spot on come fitting time aswell as get the 1" nissin master cylendar to match.

Ive got some Enkei cx 15x6.5 wheels to fit that im refurbing, prepping down and spraying white. Thier real rare wheels and i love the look of them will look great done. Ill get them weighed when the tyres are off aswell.

:nice:
 
Looks like a really nice base for a project, few topics about keeping the rear trailing arm bushes oem and not polybush them.

x2 on the oem RTA bushes. Nice little project you've got going and a very cool plate... :p
 
niicee! five stud is the way forward. also that reg plate will be deceiving :p

good luck with the project, will look out for new updates :)
 
Cheers fellas for the comments and advice about the rta bushes, just had a look into it and i think i will stay oem

And i agree 5 lug FTW! :D
 
would you sell the rota grids?
i've damaged two of mine so i'm looking for another set.

we're kinda twins, but i'm faster ;) ha

following your build this could be very interesting to see, I'm also going to be performing a 5 Lug conversion when I can afford the set up. How much did the full set up cost you?
