#313995 hi all,

been registered for a while, but once i registered my work decided to block the site -_-

had my civic since 5/18/2011

Picked it up for 2k from a repo yard. cluster said 86k on it, but im pretty sure that was wrong with how bad of a rod knock it had.

Its nicknamed The Red Headed Step Child.

If im in the wrong section for builds LMK or mods please just move.

#314008 thanks,

even forgot to list all the parts i still have to go on :roll:

new roof moldings, a new gas cover (once i get it painted... mines cracked and doesnt lock properly), ap1 s2000 cluster (only need speedohealer and it will be going in), have a non scratched rear hatch glass that i need to put on, just need to strip the old tint that was on it... spoon magnetic drain plugs... and a shift knob. ( guess i can put that on since i sold the short shifter i was going to throw on :laugh:)

oh and i need to decide if i want to throw the NSX calipers i originally picked up for my prelude on the civic or just wait a bit longer and put them on that...

too many parts in my house.

forgot to add these...
finally got my Mizu slim rad fan on (after some modification)
Image

i did the rear disk brake conversion a while ago as well
Image

when i finally get it running again ill get my passenger seat back from my brother in laws hatch
Image

and a few other pics.

I painted the shroud and housings gunmetal then added the little bixenon sticker that came with my kit from TRS Shrouds are Iris ones.

i have my first retro still, its up FS on the local forum Utahhondas.net (i know wolfsbain is on there lol saw him on here last night when i was lurking other sections).

i also forgot to mention in the last post of parts i still have to go on that i have some new LCAs :?

was cleaning up the mess of boxes i have and found them, i picked em up off my buddy who used them for his track civic when he was running lap battle (a time attack event hosted in Utah by Miller Motorsports Park) with his K swapped civic.

#317113 seems like its due for an update

sorry no pics.

over the past little bit i have been dealing with some wiring issues so i replaced and cleaned up the dash harness.

and once i had that all back in i was dealing with the car simply starting and then dying within about 3 seconds.

everyone i spoke with thought it was fuel so i ended up replacing the fuel filter, Fuel pump, Dizzy, spark plugs, and the infamous main relay on the off chance that it had in fact gone bad.

Nothing worked. so on sunday we again checked fuel. Good. Spark. Good. Air. Good... so in an attempt to simply throw it into limp mode we unplugged the nearest sensor. The map sensor -_-

car stayed alive and was running.

Upon further diagnostic into it, it seems that i over looked a few wiring changes on the shock tower plugs for the map sensor... Fixed that pinning on the shock tower and it was still throwing a CEL so we checked voltage and everything came out to the Helms manual specs i had and called it a night since everywhere that sells parts was closed for the night.

monday i replaced the map sensor and it started up first try, no cel, and i have my civic back =]

Sadly i missed my chance to trade it for an S2k, but now i get to continue on with my plans i originally had for it.

ordering a few things for it next week, and then gonna start saving to paint it in spring with new fenders if mine cant be saved and im thinking a CF hood paint matched with aero catch hood pins, but thats just what i am toying around the idea of right now.

Since i did get it running before snow hits im probably going to be taking it up the canyon to get some pictures this weekend and on the 10th i will be taking it to the last WOW event of the season. so i will have some pics and more videos for you all within the coming weeks
