#268861 I am finally starting a build thread after having this car for almost a year now, ENJOY!

Pics from when I first got it
Image

Image

Fresh B18B1
New main and rod bearings
Pistons and rings not touched I was told
Image

GSR Leather seats
Image

My Wink Mirror :)
Image

Engine sittin on the mounts
Image

Pic of the way it sat for 3 months while I was attending college
Image

Finally got it home during fall break, no garage to keep it in
Image

*Spring time* I got the thing together and running but it had no reverse so I had to source another trans, 350 bux!!!!
Image

Maiden voyage with new trans, no brakes though, lol
Image

Image

Sourced some Teg brake calipers from a yard after realizing that the bleeder screws were completely broken off the factory ones, I also bought an ebay catback exhaust, not my first pick but it was cheap

Image

Installed Tokico lowering springs, traded wheels for some better looking ones, IMO, new phone so sorry for the larger pics
Image

Clutch was starting to slip so I thought I needed a new one
Bought this kit from an Ebay seller for less than 200 SHIPPED!!
Image

The old clutch didnt look that bad so I assumed the pressure plate must have been wore out (clutch would start slipping after it had been driven for several miles)
Image
Here is a pic of the old pressure plate
Image

We had it changed in under 2hrs, car was still hot when we started, lol
Image

UPDATE!!!

Started stripping out the rear seats and plastic so I can weld in new quarter panels
YAAAAAY! (NOT)
Image

I got this from my girlfriend, itll look good hanging from my WINK FULL PANEL MIRROR
Image

Put these stickers on, Everybody loves haters, AND BOOBIES!!!
Image

More pics as soon as I finish uploading them

#268927 Done a little spring cleaning at a buddies house, it was a big improvement!!

Before
Image

These panels really needed a good scrubbing, nothing that a little mean green and some elbo grease couldnt take care of
Image

Here is a shot of the door panels that were done by my buddy when he owned the car
Image

After some scrubbing and wiping, here is the finished product :)
Image

More fun, I found out that the head gasket might be bad so I decided to change it out
Image

Found a cam cap bolt had backed out, WEIRD!
Image

Image

Here is how it looks as of now
Image

Image

#269300 goodluck with the front end conversion man. those rims would look even better if u did the polished wheel diy that teal_dx made with his civic hx wheels. even if u just did the lip polished and painted the spokes.

Yeah man, My plans are to paint the car Vogue Silver Metallic and do the engine bay and wheels in a medium green color, and polish the lips, gonna experiment at work first chance I get. I wanna get a set of Rota D2, or GT3 wheels eventually
