Hello all

 

My name is Greg(ory) from France.

 

I'm 29 years old, and I've been in the Honda world for the past 6 years, owning various cars :

 

I started with a civic ED7 ( 1990 with the D16A9 -> 1.6 16v DOHC engine ), but don't have any pictures of that one

 

Then I bought an EE9 ( 1991 civic with the B16A1 ) that I put back to OEM standards ( when I got her she was in a pityful state )

 

 

And ended up putting her into a full race configuration with a monobloc fiber front end, rear fiber bumper, rollcage, etc ...

 

The last civic I had was an EG4, that originally had a D15Z1 engine in it, but I swapped it with a D16A9 and made her into a daily/track car ( quite a nice car, and very easy to find parts ... )

 

So that's part of my Honda history

 

Now to the forum related civic

 

I recently assisted Lordame ( who's on this forum ) with dismantling the interior from an AH53, and the guy wanted to scrap the car once he had sold a few parts ...

I couldn't let him do that, so I bought the car for a couple of hundred euros ( that is of course once I had managed to convince my wife )

 

And as often, the most unexpected purchases are the best, aren't they ?

 

So here are a few pictures of the car as she is now :

 

 

 

As you can see, she's in a pretty good condition.

Only a little bit of rust here and there, that I have dealt with.

The rear section is a bit damaged, but I'll have it put straight soon.

 

Just need to find a front and rear bumper, front indicators, and probably buy a fiber nose panel.

 

I had a bucket seat and a steering wheel waiting on my shelves, so bunged those into the car

 

So that's it for the presentation of the project, now let's get down to the serious stuff ! ( second post to separate things out a bit )

AH53 B16 project track car ...

 

So ! Thinking this through, I ended up deciding to put a ZC1 engine into the civic.

-ZC1

-Standard CG gearbox

-Modified D series stainless steel exhaust header

-Standard ECU

-Standard intake manifold

-half size EG radiator

-do basic maintenance ( cambelt, rebuilt header, check piston rings, etc ... )

-55mm exhaust with right exit silencer

- Short ram with big filter + home made air box

- AH53 fuel injection system

- AS53 shift links

- Ktune shifter I already have ( very nice part btw ) with custom made ball joint to fit the ZC shift link

- plus other bits I need to think of

 

Chassis :

 

- BC racing coilovers

- energy suspension kit all round

- AS53 axles

- AS53 CRX front knuckles

- Renault Clio 2 RS brake calipers + EG 262mm discs
