Keep it ratty though. I'd love to see it 4 different colors of paint and rust. Hood is perfect the way it is.. Just make it ugly and fast.

khrys771 · 05-28-2009, 07:59 PM

INJEN78 · 05-28-2009, 08:19 PM

Im with you on that one.

double0Si · 05-28-2009, 08:47 PM

I know you wanna keep this thing cheap and easy as possible but it NEEDS a hilborn style mechanical injection system! Flat black w/red pinstriped white scallops. Red dog dish hubcaps with chrome center caps wrapped in whitewalls. And why not throw on some lake pipes.

lildj2483 · 05-28-2009, 09:11 PM

well the paint is going flat black ofcourse. imma put a different hood later. this one is weak as hell. whats a hilborn style inject system. lol. i put it back on the otherside of the yard sitting the front hubs on blocks. sitting level. it dont ride that low lol. going to pull out the motor aain so this way as soon as i can i will start making the frame. and im going to run dual exhaust back with some 40 series flowmasters. alllll the way back,lol

efhondakid · 05-28-2009, 09:14 PM

How about just running it carburated? That would be a little cheaper I would think.

lildj2483 · 05-28-2009, 09:19 PM

well i think im goingto take the 302 out of my dads mustang to put in it. since everything will fit. just so i can hurry the hell up and get it running....... long story short i need it running so i can go handle some buisness 2 hour drive fromme.

double0Si · 05-28-2009, 09:23 PM

He's already got a stock EFI 4.6. Hilborn injection is basically an Individual Throttle Body setup for a V8. Its what you're seeing when you see 8 pipes sticking out of a hood. If not that you could go with a good old tunnel ram and twin four barrels. Sorry I enjoy a good ratrod.

efhondakid · 05-28-2009, 09:23 PM

So your going to toss it together and then go on a 2 hour road trip?

You sir, are brave.

khrys771 · 05-28-2009, 10:17 PM

i wonder if you can set the motor alittle lower, whats the oil pan clearance like? how far is it from the bottom of the floor to the bottom of the pan?

double0Si · 05-28-2009, 10:22 PM

Ok theyre shitty quality as it was my camera phone pointed at a tv, But I made a quick example on Forza2... The scallops are just some I saved off a Mustang but I guess its fitting with what the donor car is.

lildj2483 · 05-28-2009, 10:54 PM

well if i sit the 4.6 any lower i will not have any room for a rack and pinion... imma just put the mustang 302 into my truck and just use my truck. rather tear it up then my car. ecause im not scared to wreck my 4wheel drive truck. i already rolled it in the woods and twisted the cab a little haha.

lildj2483 · 05-28-2009, 10:56 PM

but yea i was really going to just find a way to bolt down the motor with no trans tunnel or anything just to go up there but i think i will be safer in my truck. where i just moved the civic to. i have the motor suspended using a strap and all the weight is on the lower control arms and lets say its sitting beautiful. still has some suspension bounce left

Hondadude141 · 05-29-2009, 12:00 AM

I'd soooo rep you if I could, this is freakin awesome, I can't wait to see the end product

lildj2483 · 05-29-2009, 12:32 AM

well tomorrow im going to try and make some money so i can buy the tubing. i need like 1 20 ft of 3x2 and 2 20ft 2in tubing. and i will have some left over,haha but that way i can do everything right. the 3x2 will cost me 75 for a 20ft section and the 2in tubing will cost me 35 for a 20 ft sction. before i do. im going tojack it up and put my 17in wheels on the front and then take some pics of how its sitting. i cant wait to get this thing done. hey who is good at crunching numbers? like speeds per gear and top speed with all the gears. i have a list of all the gears for my transmission. i wanna find out which rearend gear will be best for me. i have 3.08,3.27,3.55,and a set of 3.73 the final drive gear in the transmission for starters is 0.67 i wanne be able to cruise at around 70 to 80 at 2,000rpms

khrys771 · 05-29-2009, 10:46 AM

you need to find a metal supermarket close to you. we have one here where i live and they are cheap.

lildj2483 · 05-29-2009, 10:51 AM

well the closest metal store is like 50miles away and thats their prices. i cant think of the name like golden something i think it was. well i got the civic fully sitting on its suspension. going to take a pic in a minute haha . looks kewl

INJEN78 · 05-29-2009, 10:58 AM

nice cant wait..im not good as numbers..but i know 3.08's are what we were supposed to use in the racecars i ran..we ran a set of 373's and its too high

lildj2483 · 05-29-2009, 11:06 AM

tomorrow i will have access to a digital camera. so i will take more pix.i have been taking all these pix with a camera phone. here is a pic of my civic sitting on all 4s. looks good to me. i looked under the car at the front stuts they are only about 50-60% compressed honestly
