High School, Low Civic

[Snowdaze]

Man I wish I bought a older civic so I could actually build one , can't wait to see what you do. I love to see how many other high schoolers are on here

[Dremetos]

Looks like a promising start, any other plans for it?

Thanks. it's a start, that's for sure.

Gotta show love for the hatch! So far so good man, whats your long term ideas for this

Yeah, I wasn't getting another Civic after the first one unless it was a hatch. Love these things most days.

Plans for it as of right now (none of which are set in stone) are..

- Replace both front fenders with fresh red junkyard fenders, and roll them CORRECTLY.
- Hunt around for two red doors, no rush, but my massive door dents suck.
- Plasti-dip the inners of my XXR's black, polish the lips until they're mirrors.
- Build a skid plate for the new oil pan when it arrives.
- Buy two XXR 501 15x8's 15 offset, then get some 15mm spacers, so the car will be running 15x7 6 offset in the front, 15x8 0 offset in the rear staggered.
- Potentially all clear head lights to eliminate the amber strips.

Any suggestions are welcome!

o rly?


Good progress on the hatch, man. I've got a friend of mine who is in high school working on his EG8 while trying to balance school and work. Keep up the hard work! Looking forward to progress and that skid plate [I need one for my Integra]

Thanks man, I appreciate it.

You Integra guys have it easy! Our y7 cats are tucked up directly behind the AC components, and they tuck the down pipe BESIDE the oil pan, so it's literally sitting there begging to be hammered.

In other news: I've got my exhaust all pulled down, and my shift linkage dropped, so I'm in the clear for my short shifter install, just had to get some bolts (#@$$@#@$@$@ rusty bolts underneath east coast cars, almost every bolt associated to the shift linkage rounded clean off.)

HORRIBLE quality picture as I was cleaning up tonight, just enough to keep morale up. Oil pan should be here by the end of the week.

Yeah, hatches are the ish. Only issue is they all come with a y7 so you get the sick 90 degree throttle body that is literally Honda's biggest plunder since the hybrid.

Small update: I did something I shouldn't have with AutoZone exhaust piping. Oil pan has left Cali, and it's on its way to my house. Car should be back scraping by Monday. Wishful thinking, but we'll see where it takes me.

Got the new pan all braced up and welded. Now just waiting on the gasket to show up, and a nice day when I'm not working to get this thing back together.

Sweet, mine's going to be 1/4"....... Oh well, car changes its own oil now lol. Should have some updates tomorrow!!!

[Dremetos]

Hey guys. So the car has been up and running as of Friday. I've been working, and well, enjoying the car over that time frame. Tomorrow I plan on doing the wheels and refinishing them plenty nice, as to be honest they're an eye sore. My drivers side side skirt also kick flipped off in city traffic and was run over by a pick-em-up truck, so I'll need a new one of those. Aside from that, she just needs some body work and fenders and it'll be looking a whole lot more up from there.



And here's my oil pan. 1/4" steel welded to the bottom. Seems to be working well thus far. I painted it so it's easier to decipher if it's leaking or damaged at night time.


Wheel update pics tomorrow fo sho.

1.) How do you say 'WTF was I thinking' to Slips but are totally with ugly ass XXR's? They're like the one wheel that's a downgrade from Rotas.

2.) FunctionForm coilovers are not a 'suspension worth something,' they're crap, just like eBay sleeves on stock shocks.

3.) That exhaust sucks.

Just because you're in high school doesn't give you an excuse to 'build' (A huge stretch of phrasing) a shitty car.

All of those notes were opinions. If you don't like it, no one is forcing you to type anything about the car. You probably rode the bus in Highschool anyways.

OP, as a fellow highschooler, I respect your build. Car is simple, mods are effective. Ignore this guy. I like.

[Perez23]

This guy serious right now? ^
Keep up the work on your build man, looks promising! From one high school kid to another

Get the fuck out. Like really, your complaining that the wheels aren't rota's? The fuck....
Fnf's are just fine
The exhaust ain't quite my taste, but I also don't like lettuce on my burgers.
