The Red Headed Step Child

did work!

repinned the wiring harness for the HID's tonight and got my bixenon to work... only after remembering i forgot to plug the bixenon leads back in lol

low beams...


high beams!


(yes i know i still need to adjust my headlights)





got the passenger side rear off... i hate these things... even though that one was ok to pull off


then the drivers side rear came off... this one i hate with a PASSION, for some reason the bolt got really messed up and bent the actual fork deal that attached to the LCA and it was just causing me a headache so i pulled it all off... then threw it straight to the trash pile its ruined anyway.

more suspension stuff

Unboxing

ooooooh!!!!!



new LCAs


second box!


buddy club goodness...


rear camber kit


the second P-1 racing box....


front camber kit


so fresh!

old vs new


one side done...


test fitting the rim...


yeah... a little camber but ill fix that with the camber kit

i had hoped to have it on the ground last night, but... that didnt happen. the rear suspension is done though

just need to go pick up the front forks from being powdercoated black then the fronts can go on, and i can do the camber kit when 4 more self locking nuts come in actually... i could do it now and just replace the ones holding it to the body when the nuts get in.

I did get some rattle canning done though i sprayed the front bumper fog light slots black idk why but i just think it looks better black... gives it more character.

adjusting the headlights... civic on the left, prelude on the right


how she sat






HOW IT SITS NOW



this one was before we lowered it...


and then we did the headliner.


wrapped.


trimmed up.


and back in

got the door panels cut apart


we will have enough fabric for them i was kinda worried about that lol


and a few pics that i grabbed off my camera...




hopefully the door cards will be done tomorrow and ill have more pics

There is sooooo much headliner in the hatches!!!

my hatch also doesnt have a sun roof... so its a whole lot of headliner...

Yea my 92 didn't have a sun-roof. It was a sedan, but there are MILES more head liner in the hatch than my sedan had.

i took a panoramic picture of the headliner.. or tried to... and it looks SOOOOO long lol

I'm digging that fabric bruuuhh.

doors will hopefully be at least wrapped tomorrow since tonight got kinda thrown off...

teaser...


drivers side


passenger side

got some new rubber on the steelies for the civic cause i sold the SI rims...



also it got a step sister



rims already have been re coated a solid white and they look great! and we already started on a retro for it. just waiting on the retro kit to get here then we will get that finished we already got the headlights torn apart i wish UPS wasnt so lazy the kits in SLC... they just didnt deliver it on saturday... *ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS MEME HERE*

Did you finish that retro yet?

yes sir, retro was completed tonight.

Waiting to hear back from TRS about their "new" version of the H4 harness... their new one is bad cause EVERY time we flip the low beams on it blows the highbeams fuse.

I spoke with shimmee on PP and he said its their diodes and some backwards wiring or something. so im gonna ask TRS if they can get me a new harness or if they have any of the old harnesses left over... or since i have the old harness out from my car maybe shimme can recreate one of those for some cash monies.

all in all this retro with their new setup stuff has been a big headache. But its nice its all finally finished other than the wiring.

next thing for the whoopty is the front end needs to get fixed from the crash it was in, but before that happens we are going to have the strut bar powdercoated, new rear lower control arms, and the seat slider/mount needs to get here. Once those are all done we are going to take it to get the front end fixed up. then hopefully the bumper will finally sit straight again.

new wheel setup

Mmmmm. SO SO SEXY BRO!

What rims are those?

Stance Mindset 15x8 +25 offset Gunmetal with Polished Lip

What have you done!? Looks great. When is it getting a J swap lol?

Can't wait to start a Civic build myself.

The 3rd gen may need a set of those soon...

ive done quite a bit lol No J swap... that would be too heavy for the track use im going to put this thing through lol

Hope you start soon, its ridiculous fun. Just make sure you can get OEM parts at employee pricing... if not these things can be a pain in the ass if you want to do OEM Replacements.

I honestly cant wait to take this thing to go pick up parts from the honda dealership my aunt works at... the guys there keep asking me when i am going to bring it in.

look for a used set cause i believe they are pricey new... thats why im glad i picked them up with tires for 600

Mine will be a Craigslist/junkyard budget DD build centered around a stockish B18B1.

nice! i have been bugging my aunt for parts all week lol she doesnt complain though its more business for them... the salesmen didnt even talk to me this week. i was kinda sad... i really wanted to see what they would do if i said i was thinking about trading the prelude in lol
