What times did you end up getting ?
Hey, this is my old Civic.

Here is a few pics when i had it back in 2008-2010.

Ended up with an unofficial time of somewhere between 1:08.5 and 1:09.5. I'll hopefully be at the Circuit Club ANZAC day trackday which has official timing though :) Will also be bringing some improvements if I attendQuote:

Build thread commences here!
First I want to recount the story of my time with this car up to today, and then I'll keep the thread up to date from. It might take me a few days to complete this :P
So I got the car in May 2012, and it's quite fair to say it's a completely different car since then. It had a few days rego left, and needless to say I enjoyed it's last moments ever on public streets!
This is a pic of the car on the roads for its last night, in Canley Heights :')

The car came with quite a few goodies. B16A2 done by Hanny's performance with AC and PS, dc2r 5 stud conversion, ASR struts, sound system (good for recouping some cash), etc. Also it had no sunroof, and a rigid, rustless body. It was a great platform for a track car.
Once rego ended, the stripping began.

Not sure why there was so much sawdust here...
http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4e0cfec0.jpg
Most (not even all) of the useless "junk" that was removed!

There were just a few more things to remove before getting to business. Here I am removing the foglights.

Removing PS with JDM-Derek

Then I removed the dreaded sound deadening! Got some dry ice from BOC and got it off with some patience and prying.
http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0eb56940.jpg
http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4c74ae9a.jpg
Just look how much was removed! There was roughly 9-10kg weight saved.

This is how it looked afterwards.

Here we are having some fun removing the pea shooter and seeing how it sounds haha.

Rear wiper delete.

More coming soon
How it looked after we removed PS and AC

Still had to remove those damn aircon boxes! Here you can see them with the dash disconnected:
http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/...ps9cd5df59.jpg
Got them out
http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4affc91f.jpg
Except for one...
http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/...psb032d5de.jpg
That one pictured above is a real bastard. It wouldn't come out so I started bashing it out!
http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/...psd46fd657.jpg
Oh no! Parked the car too far back and can't close the door :(
http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/...ps0ddac61d.jpg
Having the dash off also let me get off all the last bits of firewall insulation.
Eventually I just disconnected the hoses from the engine and pulled the whole radiator thing out in one piece. I then looped the ports where the coolant previously flowed through that heater radiator under the dash, with this silicone hose I got from a local hose shop in Wetherill Park.

Next up was my hollowed-out headlight mod (posted a thread on this in the DIY section).
http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/...psbfd87ac0.jpg
http://i1297.photobucket.com/albums/...ps3c60aaf5.jpg
Then I removed the glass on the driver side (intake side) headlight with my heat gun.

Still had that damn power steering hose in there though. That didn't come out til the engine was out.
Then replaced that dog-shit looking air filter with a good ol' proven aussie 3A Racing filter for 29 bucks :)

Coming soon: Changing the gearbox in a hurry before the first track day, installing coilovers, and lots more
