lildj2483 · 06-07-2009, 12:54 PM

97hatch · 06-07-2009, 01:42 PM

how long before you think you will be twisting up the body and poping the glass out LOL looking good almost there

lildj2483 · 06-07-2009, 01:50 PM

well after i finish the transmission crossmember its all up to when the motor will be done. im only going to really worry about a cover over the driveshaft so i dont have to worry about it itting me if it pops off. then im going to test it and if it holds up then perfect lol. but im also designing some body braces to help strenghten up the body from where it was cut down the center.

Magana559 · 06-07-2009, 06:19 PM

Love it man keep it up!

phyregod · 06-07-2009, 06:47 PM

Shopping list:

Flat black paint

Moonies with fat white wall tires.. or do that "steel wheel restore" that was in another thread floating around here.. That would be cool, and free.

Source a couple of bench seats that'll fit.. Mismatched, of course.

Oh, while digging around rat rod stuff, I found this little gem:

If they could get the front wheels / suspension to match the rear, that would be one bad little bitch!

lildj2483 · 06-07-2009, 07:00 PM

well the paint is going flat black.the rims on the back that are white will also be painted black. the civic seats are going back into it. im going to modify the guage cluster to hold a few guages in there. there will be no speedometer. i would have to change the tail housing on the transmission and put that plastic gear inside of it in other to put a speedometer. but my gps will work just fine as it has no limit on the speed haha. well i already got my first race lined up haha. my buddy has an rx7 he is putting a stock 302 into it worse and way older than mine haha. and thinks his car will have big balls. so im going to show him his car wont do squat haha. i know his car will be slow. see mine technically matches. in a way. but his wont match because he is using the factory rx7 open diff with the front diff mount broken and a 5 speed trans out of a tbird sc with the wrong clutch kit,haha. i can go on and on about his but long story short. his is already rearwhee drive and mine fwd to rwd civic conversion will be done way before his haha.

97hatch · 06-07-2009, 07:00 PM

wow thats a az600 isnt it im willing to bet that they never got a engine in it as the bays are so small in those things

lildj2483 · 06-07-2009, 07:02 PM

and with the front springs cut down 1 coil it still looks like my civic still doesnt have amotor in is because of how high it is haha.
hey 97 hatch i love your signature thats hilarious

97hatch · 06-07-2009, 07:53 PM

yes but you changed the front suspension that old az600 still has the stock stuff on it from looking at the pic and the engine and trans in that thing only weighs like 115lbs total it came with a 600cc air cooled engine just like on a motorcycle

lildj2483 · 06-07-2009, 10:19 PM

lol i didnt say anything about that az600. it looks weird,lol tomorrow im going to cut my springs down just a little bit more to lower the front some more maybe.

Kanned · 06-07-2009, 10:38 PM

Good lord, best thread ever. Just as I thought redneck was at it's peak of awesomeness, you stepped it up a notch. +rep

99sidude · 06-07-2009, 10:43 PM

this thread puts the swap in hondaswap.com +rep

lildj2483 · 06-08-2009, 12:22 AM

thanks. see now i wish everyone on every other site and in person was as nice as everyone on this site everyone except the guy who built that 4.6 gt engine thinks this will never run. which it will very soon. he loves what i am doing with it. he is still saying WOW lol. i cant wait til its done. since i have more time on my hands now i am going to try and get it done asap. gotta brace up the trans crossmember and then start the driveshaft tunnel... well off to bed. later

lildj2483 · 06-08-2009, 05:29 PM

ok keep in mind in the pics the passenger side is kindof on a hill so thats why it looks like its leaning.

phyregod · 06-08-2009, 07:12 PM

I love it. Keep it up!

INJEN78 · 06-08-2009, 07:43 PM

looks like some progress..
but is this motor gonna run??

lildj2483 · 06-08-2009, 09:17 PM

yea this motor will run. it was a running motor when pulled before my friend took off the intake and pass valve cover. lol both the motor and transmission work fine when fully assembled,lol

efhondakid · 06-09-2009, 12:36 AM

So legit!

double0Si · 06-09-2009, 01:22 AM

In fact its SO legit, I dont think he could quit.

lildj2483 · 06-09-2009, 07:04 PM

lmao thanks for the laugh fellas. cant wait to pull it out into the road and do the first burnout

that way i can make sure the brakes hold and it shifts haha.

lildj2483 · 06-09-2009, 10:27 PM

ok well im goin to put some wheels off of a grand prix or something similar. the 16in wheels off of one anyways. and im going to put some nexen n3000 size 205/40/zr16 they clear so perfect then i can lower the back of the civic alot and lower the front lot and they will still clear perfect. because the civic is close to a foot off the ground and thats way oo high haha.

double0Si · 06-09-2009, 11:48 PM

What, your not gonna take it mud runnin' when you git-r-dun!? I just lost all interest in this build...
