Ok here is a basic build up of the civic so far,



this is how it looked when i got it

then i lowered it on jamex springs and fitted ek9 lips

then came the D2 coilovers

picked up a mint set of leather recaros

fitted

had the front bumper smoothed then to get rid of the plate holes

then came the team dynamics

snap from a old oil change showing the long arm airfilter and fannimold

Some more shots,

Its since had a lightweight flywheel fitted along with a better clutch. Also running 282mm brakes from a prelude.

Then came a baffled sump fitted as i plan to do alot more track days this year, big thanks to R motion for doing this.

[chrispyology]

Your car is stupendously beautiful. Any future plans?

Looks spot on Si. It's come on a bit a bit since I've last seen it.

You gonna be at japfest this year mate, will have to have a proper gander then if I get the chance.

I love the on-road two photos btw. Is it the Black Moutains in the background of the parked up one? Trying to place what road it might be.

Thanks, I was having a good look at yours at R-Motion the other day.

Was the Sunroof hard to remove?

I'll be at Japfest this year altho the car wont be, Going over with Rhys in his Accord. You on track with the HOT guy's?

Yeah its the Black mountains in the background.

Yeah, I did have it sat up there quite a while
The sunroof's a piece of piss to take out. Getting something to fill the gap and hold the water out is the tricky bit unfortunately. If you're planning on putting the roof lining back in that might also give you a lot of problems as a lot of it obviously clips to the sunroof frame. Suppose your best bet would be to try and find roof lining from an EJ9 or whatever I guess.

I'll be on the HoT stand at Japfest and I'll be on track in their session as well as with EK9.org.

Im looking to get the precut sheet that Buddyclub sell on here to cover the gap.

Kris has got the headlining from an EK9 that i can use. Hopefully it will go ok when I try and take it out.

Did you notice much of a difference removing yours?

Nice I'm sure Rhys is on track with HoT.

 

[clockwoRk]

Did you notice much of a difference removing yours?

Nope
It's hard for me to say really as I did at the same time as fitting the rollcage so in taking 15-20Kg from the sunroof and lining I just instantly replaced it with 30Kg or so of cage. But regardless of whether it's noticeable or not it will definitely help as you're knocking all that mass right off the highest point of the car.

Ok time for a lil update,

Ive got hold of a sunroof bung of Chris (Pneuma i think is his username) Its great quality just need to have the time free to fit it.

Also picked these up from Ebay, they are/were a little grubby so im just in the process of cleaning them up.

And this shows the bottom cushions before and after a clean

Cant wait to get them fitted and the sunroof out

 

[dan k]

Nice update mate

 

[Bencrx]

Took the covers off the sparco's and put them in the wash, came up looking like new

Took the sunroof out

Just waiting on my seat rail to come from Funky power to fit the sparcos in.
