As the car stands now it is making at 140kw with high boost an moddest 120 kw on low boost so its a fun little toy.... But the dilemma is that should try to sell the car as is, later on the year with the full custom turbo kit an all the goodies inside the car minus the amps an sub and bucket seat and with no road worthy?,

strongly advise against building the civic more

all the money you put into building the engine wont make a big difference to end selling price and may even scare off buyers

iirc the turbo hondas that have been advertised on here with built motors dont fair so well

plus the more you mod that car it will become a dog to drive being fwd and neverending money pit. more power then stronger clutch bigger wheel/tyre coz no grip etc. etc.

cut losses imo

In all seriousness, i was thinking of going built b20 or k20, but decided to stick to original plans and not spend anymore on engine and buy jap rwd coupe at the end of the year.

s14 sounds nice

Couldnt agree with you any more, hence more of a reason to move onto a better car for a better platform

I know what happens when people buy Silvia's.

- buys clean Silvia
- crashes once
- puts stickers over damage and claims to be "drift pig" from now on
- car never nice again

I support buying a Silvia as long as this does not happen! haha.

But really, you don't need the internets approval to do what you want :P

Not done today, but recently.
Installed 15x8 steelies with 195 tyres installed. In need of some camber.

But other than that, it's just the rear brace ready for a sway.

***Official What did you do to your EK today***

Busy day today.
Took out all the a/c gear to clean out the bay
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/10/utebesup.jpg
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/10/semazanu.jpg

Finally fixed up the intake so it's not quite so tight anymore. Still a bit squeezie but it's finally sitting up nice and tucked feeding from all that cool air through the bumper.
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/10/gaqyge3u.jpg

http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/10/yzyna2aj.jpg
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/10/eqevydud.jpg

A brake change. Old ones didn't have much on them, seemed like it's about time they came out. Just throwing some standard pads back in before I do a larger pad upgrade to the the 280mm
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/10/ha2y7asu.jpg
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/10/tanany8u.jpg
http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/06/10/u7e7aga8.jpg

Lastly, I finally got the front diffuser/dust cover back on. Originally took it off due to scraping, but it's been sitting around and cars up a little higher now too. Going that it also helps a little with some downforce issues on the front drives.

You can remove the paint on the backing of the gauges so that it is transparent on the back, not sure if that is how he did it too. I did it for my redline :)

Was just thinking this. 242mm and drums is way insufficient for B18C7 in EK chassis.

Illegal and unsafe I would think..

Surprisingly, mod plate passed with flying colours. I have heard of rear disk conversion being required for mod, but the engineer advised me that the drums, because they're 220mm, were sufficient. However, he recommended a conversion.
