Ronan S Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Well lads,was talking to Idrees and he told me to get up a build thread so here it goes!most of it is being copied from other sites.well this is the car as i bought it on the 13th or April 2010!the car was filthy,faded as fuck and had horrid wheels on it!the interior was filthy too.so once i got it home,the cleaning began and i fitted a few bits!and once i had got myself some tax i got the car down to the Unit and cleaned it from head to toe inside and out!!and heres an engine bay picture!!she needs some cleaning done to the engine bay alright but that will all be done in good time.i fitted new wheels and Evo 7 recaro's recently too so heres how shes sitting at the mo!coilovers coming Sunday so i should have her sitting right soon.this is how she was sitting in October after fitting the coilovers which still needed adjustingmy ACT 6 puc unsprung clutch then decided to go in November so i replaced it with a CAP 4 puc sprung clutch and fitted a FMIC at the same time in January 2011then when gedis got home,he took over and we took off the manifold and turbo.he then set about rotating the turbo to suit the new piping and made up a custom mounting bracket for the actuator.while he was doing that,he also ported the manifold and gave me a new gasket for between the manifold and turbo.so this is how things were looking after that!then Gedis mounted the intercooler and we packed up for the night!the good news is,even after fitting the intercooler core,we were able to put back on the bumper with no trouble.I then left the boost at .7 bar and due to fitting the new gasket between the gasket and turbo,it was now hitting full boost at 2500rpm which i was delighted with because all along it wasn't hitting full boost til 4500rpm!!Due to school exams i hadn't done a whole lot to the car so i mainly gave the car a good cleaning over the months and also fitted DC5 Recaro's and an OMP steering wheelIn June i then decided to change the exhaust for a powerflow exhaust which was 2" straight through until the 3" back boxI was delighted as it sat alot better than the HKS Super Drager which had been on it previously and it had a more aggressive rumble to it,especially on boost.heres a video of how she sounds. Since then i haven't done a whole lot to the car but i fitted an Apexi RSM,a civic half rad and I've changed the wheels for a set of BBS RS because i'm changing the entire look of the car very soon!I've ordered a full Livesport kit for it and i also got my hands on a set of original rear lights including the glow panel.Will also be respraying the car in a few weeks all going according to plan.Here is how its looking at present and the next update will be a big one!so heres the spec list.ENGINEToyosport FMICCustom exhaust,HKS actuator,HKS FCD,HKS SSQVSard FPR,5efhe cams,toyosport decatCivic half radHANDLINGCusco ZERO-2 coilovers15" BBS RS wheelsTRANSMISSIONTRD diffCAP 4 puck sprung clutchCusco lightweight flywheel4.3 final driveINTERIORDC5 Recaro'sTRD gear nobOMP steering wheelrubber duck Quote Link to post Share on other sites
