Been on here a while, but the car i started with is actually now gone.
So that was the old, 16x8 et15l, running static and as little camber as possible, was around -2 all round in the end. Built up from 100% stock, can't even begin to start on the amount of work that went into that car. Sadly it was an auto so decided to sell up to start a proper project. Fast Car wouldn't feature it, and no one else really bothered about it either, so it got sold and pretty much no idea what's going on with it now, just sit's on a guy's drive way.
I'd always wanted to build a DX into a B16 engine'd car, so was finally that time.By the way, a DX is carb, so literally everything has to be changed... i shall explain.
A flight to scotland and a 9 hour drive back we have.
One standard car.
Rear arches got done, suspension went on, wheels went on.
Before long, it ended up like this.
Dash out, interior out, basically the whole front 70% of the loom was swapped.
This was the bay. No nothing. Subframe, hubs, arms everything was dropped.
It's actually easier to say what hasn't changed on the car. Essentially, the chassis, bodyparts and interior are the same. I've played with the dash though, JDM clocks, fitting a rather tasty seating setup, other then that, shit's all different.
New fuel lines, new brake lines, different fuel tank, different loom, different subframe, different steering rack, different discs, disc conversion on rear, engine swap, blah blah blah. It's also a B16A out of a JDM Civic, and running on a Mines ECU, it's actually pretty damn fast, gets to 230km/h (stupid JDM clocks lol) pretty nicely haha. Be a shame to have to drive like a pansy everywhere, but i'll be keeping my winter mode for track events later on in year and driving like i built it.
Another set of wheels later and we are done!
So that's where i'm currently at.
Wondering why i'm still on Stance Works?
Gold hardware, 15x8 and 15x7.5 BBS RM010. Offset wont be extreme so will need a little spacing helping, but later this week (in time for JapFest, Area F, come check us out!) they will hopefully be on, and hopefully i'll be sitting pretty again.
See y'all around - annoyingly, every MK meet i've been busy/out of country/at japfest.
