civic eg build :)

[civic-eg3]

hello all right ive been after another civic for a while now and found a eg lsi in green on ebay so i placed a bid and won it for �385 little bit of work needs doing but im happy with it as i booked it in for a full respray before i bought the car lol.
heres some pics.

pics aint the best but they will do for now until i take better ones.

ill be doing a engine swap on it aswell so last night i was browsin the world of EGAY and bought myself a b18c3 bingo i found this. well happy

been a bit busy getting the car ready for a respray and i aint 100% happy with the re arches after they were skimmed with filler after having new arches fitted so the body shop are goin to sort them out. ive removed all the sound deadin (nice jobs NOT) should be painted being of april hopefully

wiesco low comp pistons with golden eagle rods

act lightweight flywheel

arp head bolts

havent been on here for a long time due to my car being stuck in the paint shop for 9 months whilst it was gettting painted but all is good and now i got it back things can start moving again. in the last 9 months lots of things have happened and i sold the turbo build off and bought a n/a b18c4 which ive tweeked a bit.

heres some pics of the paint jobs in the stages ) sorry about the pic quality my phone is crap)

thats when the inside got painted with silver first then gold on top. the outside i didnt get many photos of but i have been building it back up and heres some photos of where we are now

yesterday i went to london so by some wheels unsure on the brand but the are very light and they are 16" 8 1/2inches wide not sure wethere to keep the lip chrome or have it colour coded to the car

its coming together now just a few parts left to buy updates will follow
thanks for looking

very nice build. what color gold did you use?

 

[buzzbombtom]

thank god you are not some wank from the UK that color is amazing. i am in love with it. i dont like the rims so much but what ever floats that queen marry II of yours . clean up the motor a bit, put the carpet back in, and get some other race seats and it will be perfect in my eyes. cheers!

I love it. Black and gold are my school colors. Nice selection of parts especially engine core and internals.

Agreed, clean up that motor. The missing paint on the cam cover, those old hoses and rusty bits make it look like shite next to all that shiny new paint. Wish I had the $$$ for a paint job that thorough.

thanks all for your comments the colour is solar gold pearl made by house of kolours and i understand what you mean about the crappy rusty bits and the hoses they are getting changed just wanted to make sure the ones i get are the same as these so i trial fitted them to make sure and im putting a carpet back inside.

with the wheels would you leave the lip silver or have it colour coded to the car?

 

[bmxican]

I cant tell, if its chrome, id buff it and have it look real nice. Im not a huge fan of color coded wheels. If its just a dull silver, I dont see why not, that gold is popping. Im a huge fan.

 

[buzzbombtom]

do not colour code the wheels it will look like crap

 

[civic-eg3]

buzzbottom yes i no the colour code and thats your opinion

 

[Robin...]

Awesome...

 

[buzzbombtom]

you clearly dont know who i am, i am god, so my opinion matters more than yours or your moms

 

[Hendo]

Matching the rims could make for too much gold. All black on the rims could be nice. Hard to say without actually seeing it.

Looks great, not my flavor on the color but if your happy that's all that matters! Looks a lot better than most!
