how much do you think this build cost over all?? interested in making something like it but differant color and wheels with a bys bill

I actually have a spreadsheet that covers everything I've purchased for each car, the totals per car, and the overall total I've spent on cars. Kinda saddens me to look at... Haha

It feels weird for me to throw out official numbers on here, but I will say that it's currently between $15,000 and $20,000 (including the Meisters). If you're just wanting a low Civic, it can be done for faaar less. It just depends on how far you're wanting to take it. Little details and well-respected parts add quite a premium to the total.

did you notch the frame ... is so did you take pics ?

This (see below) is exactly right!

grinder with flapper wheel, YOu dont really have to notch the actual frame it more like a thick double sided piece of sheet metal underneath the frame rail that your axle and tie rod will hit

You order some CRs yet?! Apparently it's the primetime for EG owners to get Work wheels! Haha

Soo cleeann.. soo nicee..

Thanks, man.

your eg made me buy a bubble .. im starting my project now thanks for having such a sexy ass car !

except for cutting out your strut towers did you do anything else to get that low ? and did you have axle bind at any point ? and last question did you get your car aligned

Glad I influenced you to get an EG! Can't go wrong with these bad boys.
As for the lowness, as long as you have extended tophats and cut strut towers, you're pretty much good to go! Of course you might wanna play with damping and spring rates/lengths to get the optimal (least damaging) ride, but most people don't go through that trouble, so it is what it is. Haha

The only axle-related issues I've had are destroyed CV boots and axles hitting the frame (which is now resolved). Pretty much normal expected stuff.

Alignment... I have not gotten one yet! I got one a looong time ago (when it was a few inches higher), but that's going to be the first thing I do once I get everything adjusted to fit the Meisters. I've had all new tie rods and bushings and whatnot sitting in my tool box for over a year, so it's definitely time. It's truly scary to drive at this point! Haha

Can't wait to see it with the new wheels. Also u should upload some new shots. Cuz I need new wallpapers on my phone and computer.

I can't wait, either!
Haha, I might have to get some more shots. A last hurrah for the Diamonds...

More camber? Dear god.

Just a little...

Should have some Spoon mirrors coming before long! I'm only using the driver's side, so if anyone wants a legit Spoon passenger side mirror, you know where to find me.
Otherwise, I'll hang it on a wall or something.
