It's been a long freaking time since I've updated this..
I'm still around, and so is the civic.. or shall I says civics.
So the white car has been running perfectly for years.
I even picked up a set of JDM ITR Recaro seats for it which are pretty mint!
The green hatch was the parts car for the white one while I was building that.
I've decided to build myself another hatch.. this time a bit more wild though.
Seeing as the green shell as been sitting around for years and is already gutted for the most part this shouldn't be too difficult to build in my spare time.
Not much rust either .. but still enough to require some quarter panel work once again.
Recently picked up another (my third) civic to be the donor of the go-fast parts. Then I'll throw a SOHC D16Z6 into the donor and sell it as a running car.
I will be taking the motor, fuel system as well as some suspension parts/mounts from this car and putting them into the hatch since I like hatches and the donor is a coupe... meh.
....BAM
I could just keep the one with the motor already in it... but I'm super picky and don't necessarily like a bunch of things the previous owner did. Roll cage welds are TOTALLY not legit AT ALL. Wiring to fuel pump is just just strewn about the rear seat. Engine bay could definitely use a ton of re-working to tidy it up. It was a race car and served well as one... not trying to rag on the previous owner who built it, as I know it one several races/awards and I am thankful to have had the opportunity to snatch it up.. but I want to build a nicer race car!
Show and go, none of that stanced out bulls*t everyone is doing these days (no offense to my buddies on the forum with the bags.. I still envy you guys!)
Figured building another car entirely would at least allow me to have my white car to rip around with my buddies still rather than not having a car at all to go to meets in!
..stay tuned!

... I like the wide body front. its so difficult to fit bit tires under OEM fenders, no matter what they stick out and I kind of hate that look.
d**k
