Ricky@Race-Tech Posted August 29, 2011 Share Posted August 29, 2011 Not Toyota but might be of interest to a few people.As you probably guessed i'm into my Hondas. Heres a few pictures of the latest incarnation of my Civic.Some previous pictures here,HereNew colour under the engine bay.The complete front end can be removed with 4 bolts. Makes for much easier access and saved 16kg's.Subframe bolted in, we were going to make a tubular subframe with new steering rack, but we've had to cut a few corners or it'll never get finished!Few pic's (ignore the light its not fastened in) Still waiting for the carbon front bumper and wider wings.The front end in place.Ignore the rusty hubs, the new ones are been machined to accept much bigger driveshafts. Ready for the engine.Front end removedEngine in (fastest ever)Manifold and turbo on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
