Hi!
This is my lowcost project for newbee timeattack user like me =)

Spec:

1. Civic EJ9 1999. Why restyling? Because we have in stock 262 front discs and 15/16`` brake master cylinder like on VTi version. Plus we have 22mm front ARB in stock.
Price: 1400euros in Germany (with dvd, 2 pair of disc and other items that you can sell)

6. Skunk2 lower control arms replica from Chinas aliexpress.com
To not write about skank2 crafts from China, it is not true to say the least. Replica differs only by the quality of polyurethane and all. But we order original polyurethane inserts for $ 15 and get a set of the original lever from skank2 cost $ 100, not 250.
Price: 100$

7. Rear discs brake swap from EK4 VTI (242mm) with ABS sensor,parking brake cable, etc.. bolt on.
Price: 250$

11. Stock EK4 front strut bar. New OEM from exist.ru
Price: 35$

12. Motor d14z4 weak. Because we buy the intake manifold of the engine d16z6, head porting window holes with a D14 manifold, remove from head d14z4 1mm. This will give us about 115-120 hp. This setup make my friend and has dyno

Price: may be about 250$

13. Еxhaust is completely changed to 51mm pipe(catalyst removed. Put stronger plus resonator 60mm). Rear exhaust is Magnaflow
Price: 70$

There will will buy:
1. Other strut bar like ek9 stock (about 150$)
2. Tire. I wanted to buy a fed 595rsr, but the budget does not allow. While we take Hankook Ventus Evo v12 k112 or S1 Evo or Bridgestone Potenza Adrenalin RE002 195/50/15 (about 250$)

Some install:

My project on small rings may well go on par with the stock ek4, er3 and other machinery and quickly understand where you want to make an effort. In the car or myself.

All budget with car is 4300$ (+/- 500$)

Yes. 26mm front ARB installed on EK9,RD1,EK4 in stock.

I installed ek9 suspension on this week.

front was slightly higher than stock ej9 and -35 springs

But ek9 has 12mm the thickness of the spring, my old 35mm spring has 11.5mm thickness.

rear suspension is established as the previous adjustment
stock vs ek9

This setup is on the way in time for this ring as a stock EP3 k20a2

Now it remains to rear disc brake pads and change in a circle on RSPEC Vortex Green (up to 500 degrees)

Engine:
I have decided to not bother with the d14z2 and still swap motors with Civica in-law b18с4 closer to the fall. Because our local timeattaсk season this year is canceled, it will be a pleasure to ride in neighboring Ukraine on track days.
 
wow I think i'll be getting myself a crv arb
have an ek9/ek4 atm with the asr 24mm on the rear but it tends to oversteer in the wet
 
Some pictures from our timeattack))
i has a 3th place, my friend on my civic has 2d. 1st place - crx b18c4 200whp+. In my class, my Civic was the weakest (90hp), the nearest weak car had 170 hp.

Nice. Building something on a budget can be a fun challenge! You guys organise your own private time attack? :p
 
Awesome, an abandoned mini-track that you can use when you want :D
 
This is a cool build,:) awsome track to use aswell! We have a couple of abandoned airfeilds nearby but get told to leave evry time we go.:(
 
Awesome stuff, although isn't this better of in the builds and projects. Anything is welcome in there pal.

my wishlist@end
-b18c4 motors + s9b or s4c/s80 gearbox (bacause imho p72 head is better than type-r p73/pr3)
-BC Racing coilovers 8/6 or 10/8 spring ratio.
-all ek9 bars (trunk bar, strut bar, etc...)
-recaro sr3 only in red :D
-X-bar
-bridgstone 002 adrenaline
-interior from ek9
-ek9 rear spoiler or seekers v2

EK body is the best designer in the world for children between the ages of 18 and 50+ :D
