Civic EG rebuild - the beginning // Slammed

[DoubleU]

Hello from Germany !

This is my little Civic EG3 Hatchback with broken
engine.

How I got it :











Then I put my old wheels from my Mirage on it, 'cause I wanted
to fix the wheels from the Civic and sell them :











Then I slammed it with the new coilovers from a CRX (they fit Plug&Play)
But for the first, only the front. (Tomorrow I put the rear in) :













Then the other side :









Here the little problem :





That's for now.
Maybe in 2 weeks I get a new engine. For the first I put a 1.3 back into it.
But maybe next year there will be a turbocharged B18C4 inside it

Hope you enjoy and sorry for my bad english

Nice process so far!

[justaneffer]

damn, what coils are those? thats dumped.

[DoubleU]

That are Rokkor Coilovers from a CRX EE/ED. Bought it in the German
maxrev forum.

But you need also these things from the CRX to fit them (don't know the english name for it) :



And yeah. The civic is a nice car, but it has so much rust Have to fix it first, before
I buy new rims and the VTI lip for the front.

[DoubleU]

Okey Nice to know.
But I have problems now on the rear of the car.
It won't go down... even at the lowest position it's higher
than stock.

Tomorrow I have to look, what happened there.

i have yet to see a civic that didn't break that bolt when doing suspension hehe. it happened to at least 6 that i have worked on

[DoubleU]

Problem solved :







The springs were wrong

But I'm not happy with the rear It needs a little bit lower.

and this for some inspiration

[DoubleU]

Yeah, I know Turbotoy Performance from the german maxrev forum.
But I am not planning now a turbo. First I need the engine to run.

Or save money and buy a B18C4. I don't know, what I should take.
A D16Z6 or a B18C4.

The D16Z6 is cheaper, and with a turbo you can get there over 350HP.
I actually wanted about 200-250HP.

EDIT: And tomorrow I drive to Poland, so there will not be any Update for
10 days. But then I'll begin with the interior. Everything will go outside
and will be cleaned. Maybe I buy in Poland the black interior for the civic
