its been about 6 years since owning this car, 4 years its been running, and the last 2 years its been abandoned...decided to make a more updated build thread starting off when my clutch blew and i needed to refresh my suspension ...
i ordered :
F2 Type 1 Coilovers
NEW Upper Control Arms
NEW Bushings
NEW Tie Rod Upper and Lower
NEW End Links
NEW Lower Ball Joints
Exedy Pro-Kit Clutch kit
F1 Flywheel 9.5 pound
Hasport Motor Mounts 62a
New Starter
New Rack and Pinion Boots
New Power Steering bolts
New PS Belt
Honda MTF Trans Fluid
got the car running, felt amazing, but didnt have funds to keep it going...this was about middle of May 2014
moved out of my apartment into a duplex with a garage...then picked up new tires
i went thru that, low and slow phase in life..around late 2014
shortly after i abused the hell out of the car. my tranny and clutch blew...which lead to a long 2 year hiatus...
good news about it, the car got painted...bad news, some parts was robbed...
that was the last time i saw the car...
after getting the news that the car was robbed into at the shop i was storing it at, and the theives took some motor parts and interior parts...it was time to bring it home...after sitting for so long and catching dust and over spray...it was time to bring this civic back to life...
finally home...soon as i got it in my garage, i started clean up..
I wet sanded the windows, and removed a good number of baked overspray
wiped down and cleaned the engine bay, until i noticed that it wasnt getting cleaner...
pushed it outside, cleaned it up
noticed i had over spray on the car and started to buff, polish, and clay bar the car...
after working hard, and not finishing the entire car sadly...
after taking a short break from the car, i had my first baby, bought myself a 2013 VW CC, and spoiled me and my wife a little...and then after that, i went back to work...
ordered
Innovative rear bracket for EG...which btw are amazing!
Innovative Mounts 95A ... super stiff ...
TPS sensor
Wireloom
Wires
Gaskets
a bunch of bolts
fuse boxs
EG cluster
and another wiring harness to source plugs...
received the parts last week...finished the wire tuck, prepped the car for the swap...
then the bad news hit...i got a 2 post mount and need a 3 post...
and thats where im going to stop...more updates coming soon as more money comes in for more parts...
