CHiLD's EG *BUILD UP THREAD*

[CHILD]

Lol,i get hot as s**t from time to time but this is my second car with no a/c in the south so I can deal with it.the only thing that really sucks for me is when it rains and I can't defrost my windshield.

I use that 260 a/c....two windows down and 60mph

this is a noob question but couldent you use your old front brakes in the back or is there a diffrence in the design that you cant modify???

you cant use front brakes in the rear, id have to get the rear trailing arms from an integra or an ABS equipped 5th gen civic, the brake rotor, caliper, and rear brake lines to convert to rear disk.

this is an easy one....go to autozone and buy the amber dash bulbs. I forgot the bulb part numbers but a quick google search should pull them up. They should have clear and amber bulbs available.

.

thats what i thought. never hurts to ask tho. how sticky are the s-drives? iv been seein alot of people buyin them and they are a farily decent price.

 

[CHILD]

Man they are good. Great wet road traction too and they are quiet. I got em on the mercedes e350 too. Its compare these to the Toyo proxes t1r tires. They are slightly taller on the sidewall compared to another same sized tire but its not a hugger difference

 

[JuiceBoxHero]

So Child, what's the next big thing?

 

[CHILD]

honestly, i really want to boost. But i might settle for smaller things in the meantime like an intake manifold finally and throttle body. we'll see how the money flows

 

[jazzyJAE]

Holy s**t... From my ONLY post on page 20 and 32 pages later and you've completely transformed this car! (even through a small front end incident) Damn, CHILD you have really proved to everyone following this that you have the balls to continue with this and finish it! Respect man, respect for a dude that won't let the Civic die!

No good updates......lets see

2. Need a new radiator fan (tired of using the autozone warranty for replacement crappy parts)
3. Im hella broke because of my wedding coming up. Just a little over a month and I can get back to making this car right
