Schleudertrauma's B16 EJ2 project

[schleudertrauma]

Hey guys,

as my project made some progress lately I decided a make a new thread that will cover all the updates on my civic so I wouldn't have to create a new topic every time.

Let's start at the beginning when I bought it:

A few months later a woman in front of me decided to put in the wrong gear which made her stop immediately without brake lights. Here's the result:

Fortunatelly some spare parts happened to cross my way which we had use for.

Some time later: New (used but cheap) rims and Eibach springs.

Let's go ahead. New Magnaflow exhaust and seats (whitch turned out to be total crap. I returned them 2 months later)

This is how the car looked 2 years later with new rims and MS-Design lipkit. Looked faster than it was.

My favourite:

During winter 2007 i gave the car a complete workaround:

I bought a used EG9 (like EG6 but sedan. I guess the sedan was never sold with B16A2 in the US?)

... and cannibalized it...

Everything that I didn't need went to the junk yard

I took it apart to replace alle gaskets and bearings.

Look what I found... that was the reason for the motor to drink 1 litre of oil on 300 kilomters.

But with a new piston and everything else replaced the motor should be like new.

Yes man.... sexy.

During the winter months I started to install all the parts I had collected before:


Reconditoned Callipers:

Away with the old one...

Did I mention that there are more comfortable things to do than swapping a motor in a small garage in february?

But in the end the motor went where it was supposed to be:

Yellow Konis with Eibach springs... harrrr:

Last year:

This is the current state, technically the car is almost new.

Let's see what i did on the car by now:

Exterior:
- MSDesign body kit (no GRP sh*t)
- red/white taillights

Engine / Exhaust:
- B16A2 swapped from an EG9 and overhauled
- Invidia Catback G300

Brakes / Suspension:
- Eibach springs
- Yellow Konis
- 7x17 Dotz Daytona Rims
- 205/40/16 tyres
- EG9 VTI brake swap (callipers overhauled)
- Energy Suspension bushings

Interior:
- armrests and back shelf upholstered with red leather
- spoon shiftknob
- speedometer wit aluminium rings
- remote door locking with alarm system

Music:
- JVC headunit
- u-Dimension front system
- Carpower Wanted amp
- Hifonics Zeus subwoofer

I didn't include all the new spare parts I used like new clutch or brakes etc. If I listed them it would make me aware of the mony I've put into the car and I'm not in the mood to cry today.

Nice looking car man, how long did it take to do the engine swap?

Keep up the good work.

 

[somejaykid]

looks good man

but... but the 4 door nooo keep the 4 door lol.. either way looks bad-ass y0.

 

[schleudertrauma]

The 4 door was pretty cool but i love my coupe much more. Moreover the sedan had too much rust and i didn't want to put too much work into it.

 

[mymmeryloss]

looks great...
too bad its not a hatch or fodo..
great build nonetheless, minus the rims...

 

[oddeb707]

You should lower it a little.

 

[civhatch92]

great build along with some nice photo shoot locations!

 

[AllStockHatch]

Great photo shoots. Nice build.

 

[Hecz]

hey mate,

car looks awsome. You reconditioned the calipers yourself?
have you ever driven on the ring?

 

[stupidguy10]

looks good.....always wanted an older coupe like that....keep it up bro!

 

[EG Hatch]

Really nice. I was looking into the Msdesign lip kit and can't find that one.

 

[AE Motoring]

good job

 

[schleudertrauma]

Really nice. I was looking into the Msdesign lip kit and can't find that one.

Yes that's because it's an austrian manufacturer. I don't think they ship anything to the US.
