Default ***PlaynDEAD Civic Build Thread***

And so it begins.....

as most of you know my car has come pretty far since i first started posting it on here.
Recently i ran about a motor problem, there for i am postponing the cosmetic advances to my vehicle. lol
I am now swapping my car.

its a full b-series swap, a semi-tucked bay, and it is to be painted purple and the valve cover will be gold.

In this thread I will keep frequent updates on the projects progress.



and this is beginning

extremely ugly, haha.













*****Day 3 update*****


well i have decided not to go with the ITR swap (B18c5)
i came across a whole civic SI parts car with the whole swap still running, it is a theft recovery title.
So i am now goin with the B16a2

here is the progress i made today

got the motor out




here's a bad pic of the SI i bought


And this is a little project i worked on today its the SI gauge cluster with a civic type R carbon fiber bezel











****ALMOST THERE****

well i decided against the purple bay. and just went with silver.

here's the brand new innovative mounts





i tucked the engine harness alittle and tomorrow i tuck the headlight harness














*****IT'S COMPLETE*****

here's a couple without the hood on.. MORE TO COME

The WS2 goes against that stereotype of import drivers. The only time it makes noise is when you open it up. And it's only a small growl. Not farting through a coffee can.

I've owned HKS, Greddy, Skunk2, Apex, and a slew of other brands. I loved the Apex-i WS2 more than any other exhaust I have ever used.
