And some spare wheels... 16x8 +28 equips.. Gonna refurb them and bring them out to 9"... They'll have drag slicks on em one day

So back to this build.

Picked up the rear calipers last week, gave them a degrease..



And I also found some JDM flat sidemarkers I had stashed away..



So today, after sleeping 3 hours (late night crew meet), I got up and started doing the guards. First time Ive ever actually used a proper roller, I usually use a piece of pipe, so I didnt know what to expect. I knew the car wasnt Immaculate and has been resprayed at some stage so I prepared for the worst.

The front guards had bog (bondo) in them, and the left rear arch had a bit of rust in it, so they didnt come out as clean as I hoped. Being a budget build, I really dont care

Before and after pics of each corner:

Front right (already damaged guard):



Rear right:



Front left:



Rear left:



Considering I tried to get as much as I could out of them, It came up not too bad. If it were a slight roll it would have been mickey mouse, but gotta pull to fit 9"s and 9.5"s with neg offsets :eyebrows

Only problem is, if they arent rolled enough, I have to resort to hammer, cause once all the type r suspension is on, the guard roller wont fit in there... Ill see how I go though.

Oxer kirjoitti:

So I had a pretty disheartening weekend... I wont go into mega details right now, but if something doesnt make sence, let me know. Ill clarify later.

Problems:

- Driveshafts wont work, Got quoted $450 per shaft to have custom ones that will work made.

- Rear calipers that were sold to me aren't Type R, so the rear could not be completed. Found this out only after I changed the control arms etc all over... so wnt to change the hubs out to put 4 stud back on to atleast be able to drive the car.. Spindles were different. So had to fabricate a spacer to lock the hubs on there. so saturday was a waste of a day.


Also found that the front ssr's on the legend are buckled due to the shit roads in our wonderful city, But they still hold air so Ill continue to destroy them

Positives:

- Made the exhaust, Over shot it a touch, but Ill fix that later. :rofl.

- This.





There are no Type R rear calipers in the state so it seems, So the other option is to redrill the discks on it with the 4 stud, and run vtir rear brakes, but it is illegal to do and I probably wont find anyone to do it.

Who else would like to fuck my life with me?

I got to thinkin' "What the fuck is this?" Lettin' you know I take care of business

Haha thanks man, Just wait untill its lower and has the new pieces on it

Got a factory lip for the front bar shipped from the US and a JDM rear spoiler that sits flush on the bootlid, not high like the one on there at the moment.

Should have some new pics in a couple of weeks :cheers:

a GREAT looking car you have there! I love those wheels, they are spot on!

WOW the ccw's are pure money ! Love the stance. Have any plans for the interior ?

Been drooling a LOT over this on Stanceworks!
You should totally post the full build, it was a good read!

Thanks, Not really much for the interior, It has import seats in it and the quick release wheel, Im thinking of some sort of crazy shift knob and maybe a hydraulic handbrake set up, but nothing for sure yet. If I could get a full ferio interiour (special model) then I would, but they are extremely hard to find complete. I missed out on one by a couple of day, I almost cried

Thanks dude! I will edit the first post with a bit more info then shall I?

Now that's better! Question time (since I didn't wanna be a 'tard and bump your SW-thread. ):
Did you re-drill the discs, or what?

This is pure sex, halfsmoked taillights would look awesome

Haha all good dude, I need to update it anyway! Yeah I ended up drilling the 4 stud discs, But I have since imported a set of rear calipers from japan (Actually type R this time ) So they will soon go on the car. Its going through a bit of work at the moment to pass the roadworth certificate required to register the vehicle, so its having quite a bit of work done mechanically, though nothing performance wise.

I was actually thinking of cutting the back of the tail lights off and replacing them with LED boards, so that the whole lens is lit up with led's, rather then just one globe at a time.

Like this:

So that it looks stock from the outside

Could be pretty nice. And atleast it would be kinda unique, haven't seen many ppl do that.

So a smallish update.. I ordered this just over a month ago.



A lip from a 'Reputable' company in the US....



Whats that I hear you say? "Ox, you dont own a firebird!" No shit. Its meant to be a jdm sir lip. I also ordered a block off plate for the antenna, But it was nowhere to be seen. Logically, I would have thought it would be in the pouch with the paperwork since its so small, but apparently us Aussies are on a different wavelength to you guys.



Heat might bring it back, But it will never sit properly... And the funniest part is the shipping cost more then the god damn lip. I sent an email to the company 2 days ago... Apparently emails take up to a week to get through to you guys.... It may get lost in the electronic mail sorting office, so Im guessing I will never hear back.

Just gotta love your civic Keep on working!

I bet the lip could be fixed with heat and burned fingers. Though new is always new, so don't let the company easy on this.
Civic looks great anyway, you mentioned about going even lower? lifting wheel arches or just tucking more? I have never been such a fan of 4-doors but this is an exception.

Yeah I still havent heard back from the company, I dont think I will either.

The rear sits just about where I want it to, But the front is too high for my liking. Going to try and bring it down another inch and tuck more tire. At the moment the coilovers are on their lowest setting, but I am going to try and drop the spring a bit to get that extra inch cause there is still thread on the housing.

In a month Ill be getting some stiffer springs, so with any luck I will be able to close up the remaining gap between the lip of the wheels and the guard

Really nice Civic you´ve got there mate! keep those nice pics coming to this forum! ME like!

Hey guys, I havent been on here in a long time, and I havent really done a lot to my old car, but I thought I should update you on where I am at.

This thread is pretty far behind the times. ill give a brief rundown to get it back up to date.

Early 2011:



Mid 2011

got tired of the ccws, did silly things to them.





Late 2011 I went to america, upon return my good frien Tom and his brother Toli had started to turbo charge the civic, when I returned, within 4 days it was all done and running.



within a few weeks of that, I put it on air.





Then drove it interstate a couple times





At the start of 2012 the head gasket let go, I pulled the motor with the intention of swaping it with a friend in a relatively short period of time. The car has been sitting ever since. Its back on coilovers and will be staying static. Several goodies have been ordered, as per usual there are big plans. I kind of need to get most of them done before the end of the year as I may not have a garage to work on it much longer.

Here is a video shot recently, Going to start doing work and making this car better then ever.

And some pics of the daily

Oh nice, that´s realy good looking!

I've always been a fan of your style Ox. That daily is just super!

Thanks guys

looking sweet man!

This topic has been moved. There's no longer a discrete section for international projects. We wanted to get all build/showroom topics into the same place to make this forum little more international.
