Torquecivic Thunder grey ej9 b18c4 turbo


It's funny how just lowering a car can make it look so much different lol looks well man
 
Will update this at some point to show you all where the cars at now (******) haha
 
Thought it was time to update this so for those of you that are interested can see where its at, the car has been sorned off the road for about a year after i lost love for it after having a crash in it, been through quite a few cars since but i've slowly been buying bits and bobs for it but nothing major until recently when i decided it was time to pull my finger out and fix it..

started off buy buying a set of OEM wind deflectors -



OEM sunroof deflector -



Full Polybush kit -



Ek9 front ARB -



Ek4 rear ARB which i have grinded back and painted -









New rear d brackets from Honda -



Went to the local scrappie and got a set of arch liners, front bumper and ek9 stlye grill, rear bumper, washerbottle and a set of mudflaps all for about 30quid i think it was -







 
Got the rear bumper primed -



Bought a Ek9 recess -



Due to the crash my slam pannel was crushed and my chasis leg slightly bent i found a brand new slam pannel on ebay for £15 and the car is currently at the garage on a jig being pulled out -







Off it goes -



Rather than painting the blue bumper i bought from the scrapyard i saw that Olly was breaking his car so i bought the front bumper off that -





Now onto the bigger things, my original plan was to put the b16 in i bought a while back and started gathering parts for it like hasport mounts, b18c inlet etc i decided i wanted something abit faster so did a deal with my brother for his turbo setup out of his ek9 -













Turbo spec -

Racetech td05 turbo

Racetech manifold

2.5" downpipe

Racetech intercooler

3" intercooler pipework

ID 725cc injectors

Tial BOV

Tial External waste gate

Hondata S300

Some pics of how the car stands now after its first wash in about a year -













 
Through out all this i have had a few different dailys from a saxo, 106 and various civics... here are a few -

Aqua mint ej9 should never have sold this -



1.7cdti ep4 - massive pile of shite, massive mistake on my behalf -



Red ek3, some of you will now know this as Ernies off the forum, bottom end went on the original d15 so ended up putting a b16 in it which didnt go to plan unfortunately -



My current daily is a fairly clean vsm ej9 which i bought on 78k in november, full honda service history, clean underneath, added a ek9 front lip, usdm si grill and a set of jordan wheels, planning on just colourcoding it, maybe lowering and putting my old custom n1 rep on it then leaving it at that -







plans for now is to focus on getting it back on the road, thanks for reading, C+C welcome
