BUILD RESURRECTION! LOTS OF UPDATES COMING!

 

Hey everyone, I've been a member for quite sometime. I figure its time for me to start my own build thread on my 3gen.

I first got my 3gen about 4yrs ago, almost for 17th birthday. I used to work part time and saved every penny for one. I got a deal (sort_of ) on it and bought the car from this guy for 350 bucks, but the hatch wasn't pretty. It was missing the driver rear side glass, the bumpers were all hanging, front windshield cracked badly, the hatch was a mess but i deeply like these civics so i did not think twice to buy it.Then found an 88' Integra which i bought as a donor for the 3gen. It slept at my friend's garage for all this time. Now its time to build it and make my mark on RPR with yet another regular build on here, but then again what is a regular build on this wonderful/amazing website, lol .

Hope you guys enjoy and help me with some advice as i proceed putting together my 3gen, feel free to post any ideas, thoughts, or comments.

I would LOVE to see the car after the RHD conversion is completed.

Glad to hear you got the rhd clip Franky and that your project is underway. J-Man and I are just around the corner if you need spare hands.

Us Queens boys have to stay together!

Its going to be a few till i send it to get the converted with the holidays coming and all but should have it done by the month of January. Stay tuned in!



HEYY Elliot ...happy to hear i got extra hands to help out. Right back at you, like you said Us Queens boys got to stay together..

Here's a shot when i drove it before it was put apart and stored for 4yrs....

Here is a shot at my suspension set up that i will be using to take out the 3gen Si...




I also got the the Tien MP..but i wont be using them till i put some miles on the car..here's a glimpse



Still need Torison bars...should be getting them pretty soon..

What are you going to do with the car when its all done, Road race ,Drag, Show it off are you going to dyno it what are you expecting for hp?? I built mine trying to keep all parts factory honda parts as far as the motor goes but i going to get crazy ang go full drag i want low 13s all motor. your project sound cool kept it up!!!

Hey thanks...I'm leaning on more of a road race car/drag(even tho i will have to be changing the setups) but i think it will be capable of completing on a show ...on the d16a1 i'm praying to hit 200hp All Motor, but i will be more then happy with 180...i will be dyno it when tuning it, I'm going to be running hondata S300 on a p28...but then again the motor is going to come out in the future and will be getting replaced with one that is more modern ...on full slicks and gutted out i expect to hit mid 13 but if it does less den that, I'll be having a face like dis guy -> ..lol... but on the bottle i expect to hit 12's lets see what happens...

Getting a feel of of it...lol

havent done much...about to move the clip and a few parts to the garage were the 3gen sleeps will be starting soon..

hey all,
i finally got the clip and the car all in one location (finally got my dad off my back now that the big box isn't in his garage.. )..any how, next step is to get it converted and then assemble the motor...

I figured since i started posting up my suspension set up, guess i would start from there (Suspension & Steering)...









Yeaa all i could do now is just imagine how my 3gen is going to drive..

Pump steer kit..?


Best of luck.

WOW! This thing looks like it is going to be SERIOUS.

Sweet build. Certainly in for progress. Way to go all out, keep it up!
