Just read through this whole thread - you have done some amazing work man! Yours and LowMonroe's eg's are the sickest I've ever seen. Hopefully come spring time, my eg will look half as decent as this. Kudos!Comment

Daaamn, it's been FOREVER!
Man...what DID ever happen to this thing?Originally posted by Minuki View Post
It's sad, but I haven't touched it in about a year, aside from merely starting it a couple of times.
Through 2013, I built a brand new house with a 1,250 square foot (~8 car) climate controlled garage, bought a couple more vehicles, spent some money on them, and just finished moving in the first week of January.
HOWEVER, the Civic is the only car I haven't moved over here yet, as there is a large pile of leftover wood and such in the spot I want it in, so I need to move that out once it quits snowing and warms up a bit.
Then, the plan is to put the Civic on jack stands, take out the front and rear suspension, and replace numerous parts while powdercoating the rest. It really isn't drivable with the current front suspension setup, so that's my main priority. I have most of the parts sitting on my designated parts shelves, so it should be a fairly quick process once I get it started.
I'm also starting a new job this month that should allow me to increase progress on all of my projects, so I'm SUPER excited for that.
I appreciate it!Originally posted by Belvader View PostComment

I finally drove the Civic to my house a few weeks ago, loving every minute of the 2 mile drive. I'm pretty sure I could've driven it for hours if it wasn't looking like it could've rained at any moment.
Cleaned off the dust and crazy amount of cobwebs (especially in the lips of the wheels), then decided to tear things up.
Firstly, I finally got my Miata's interior back together after waiting FOREVER for the seats to get done. Still have several things to install, but at least it's drivable now!
And since that interior was in one piece, I had to tear another vehicle's interior apart. Enter the Civic.
Still have the passenger footwell sound deadener to remove, as well as some random bracing, but it's pretty well pulled apart now!
As I unfortunately discovered, Honda no longer makes the black dashes for these (haven't checked on door panels, yet), and it seems to be quite difficult to find a perfect, black, non-airbag dash. GAY. I might end up dyeing a blue one...
I also decided to pull some stuff out of boxes today for no reason, so here are the results of that...
K-Tuned shifter, FUCAs, FLCAs, rear toe arms, 16 kg/mm Swift springs, 13 kg/mm Swift springs, and a good ol' black leather Nardi.
I still need to get the Wilwood brakes and new, shorter, appropriately-valved struts before I revamp the front and rear suspension.
It's getting closer, at least!
