**UPDATE Day 8 number 2**



:poosie: :poosie: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :drool: :drool:


Car's completely done it's rebuild. Everything left to do is tie up loose ends like flush all fluids, spark plugs, wires, spark plug cover and small things like wiper blades. But the car runs and drives and is 100% OE replacement parts (minus the hood) and back to spec. Took the day fitting everything, pondered, stretched, pulled, banged and snugged everything up.

What we did:
- Fit on fenders (check corners, perfect!)
- Straightened and aligned front bulkhead with tie strap cinching
- Installed and aligned headlights
- Installed front rebar, rebar foam, bumper pads and bumper alignment bars below headlights
- Fit and aligned JDM front bumper cover (took a lot of time and thought and ingenuity to get the right fitment)
- Replaced upper and lower rad hoses
- Replaced power steering hoses and cooler lines
- Replaced radiator mount bushings and overfill tank
- Replaced hood latch assembly
- Aligned and mounted hood and installed washer nozzles
- Installed rear spoiler including washer nozzle
- Installed front and rear strut tower bars, rear required some cutting to fit and I'll be cleaning that up this week to make it flush.
- Installed AEM intake

That's it for today as everywhere is closed. I should get most of everything else done tomorrow for small stuff. Then maybe I'll take her out for her mayden drive! After that all that's left is the showoffy ricer mods that I love so much :)

[AA2001]

This is one of the coolest builds i've seen. Serious props to you and your work!:thumbsup:

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

<3

[inline6turbo]

Thanks :)

[v2kai]

nice strut bar btw:thumbsup: lol i am very jealous of your new front end and cf hood fitment

did u end up going with the older civic washer nozzles that spray two solid streams or upgrade to the newer gen actual spray pattern ones?

[saiyajin]

sweet build :thumbsup:

[inline6turbo]

Thanks! Took a lot of work to get it straight. But sooo worth it I think.

I just took the nozzles out of the old cf hood so I'm assuming they're the two stream ones. Which year has the spray pattern?

[ekguy]

Holy crap thats alot of change from when I went with Steve to pick up his Civic at your shop.

Still hoping I can bring my teggy in for some spoiling hehe.

[D911]

<3 the duckbill !

[inline6turbo]

Thanks haha I can't wait until it matches the rest of the car :p


I'm picking up rimskies tomorrow for snow white to get rid of those awful 18s. And Tazia's rims are being shipped right now.

Then I have to order my sets of tires, UrbanX has been awesome in hookin a girl up and I can't wait for them to get everything all installed :drool: :clap: :thumbsup:

Now if only Screamin' would return my emails :whipped: lol Tazia needs paint!!

[Sentry]

What did you end up picking?

[scat19]

What color are you going with ? Sorry if I missed it in the thread.

[Ukyo8]

Good job Renee!

Starting to look really good

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

:cry:

[inline6turbo]

I'm sorry :(


I sold Tazia :rofl: That guy got such a good deal, but don't worry, she's completely buried within the Beyond EG scene now with the crowd of people finishing the build I started, to bad I powder coated all the suspension pink hahah

Snow White is gettin alllll the love now :angel:


:facepalm:

[LilDrunkenSmurf]

Man. I wish I could just buy her back. Ah well, I guess we're both onto bigger and better things.

[inline6turbo]

That's very true. You and I both don't have the time, space or money for that big of a project. Although I am super happy about all the work I did and how well it came together, I have snow white to worry about :p

[v2kai]

who's snow white???

[inline6turbo]

My white eg in the original post lol I brought her out the other day :D

[v2kai]

ahhhh why'd you sell tazia!?

[inline6turbo]

Soooo much work. Not enough time. Trying to split my time and money between the two EGs... I dunno. Plus I got a really awesome car on trade so it was the smart thing to do..

Want some never used BuddyClub Racing Spec coils haha

[josephmar]

damn u killed the excitement. ;p jks. twas a great build tho. props on u :)
