My Si Ef-3 h22a hatch build

[vtecmossy]

Yeah mad to get running just want it done once and done right so being a bit slower than I'd like and finding parts for 20 yr old civic slows it up aswell one day it will be a flippin quick box till then keep chipping away haha ,

[vtecmossy]

Been cracking away with a few bits on this nothing much just finishing off the wheels 2 had some bad kerbing so took a fair bit of prep to get them to paint but some pics of the progress and the end result also painted the rear anti-roll bar and be painting the brackets the same colour as the front upper strut feet ford signal green , also painted the rear filler bar and hatch, Anyhows pics of bits done

Think dats it for now more soon :thumbup:

also figured out the turbo set up going t28 bb 500cc injectors s15/ r 33/34 intercooler cast log mani no space for ramhorn custom down pipe and full 3 inch system with custom cat for test time 300bhp or so :)after a neptune remap and some shinney bits

Looking well man.. Is there any way of making up a set of centre caps for the wheels would really finish them off

[vtecmossy]

No so rare they cant be got been looking so a set of extended blox lug nuts in purple should finish them off nicely also having to run extended hub studs so dont reckon center caps would work on the front with the massive breaks tbh paul.

[Fez]

Great colours

[C-Rex]

I ment to make up something yourself though like cut the centre out of a hubcap that might have a similar curve and try an make a way of clipping it in...

Crazy wheel though, can definately say one of the only set in Ireland/Uk/Europe

[vtecmossy]

Yeah one r two other sets on the net I've found but there in the states so not many over here by the looks of it , have taught about it Paul but reckon there wont be any room with extended hub studs n extended lugs reckon they'll poke out beyond the dish tbh

[vtecmossy]

Cheers fez

rims r sick bro thats whats moding is about being different FTW i think there sickkkkkkk

[iwant4g]

hey buddy nice colours - have you managed to fit the gearbox in yet or having problems with the length of it?

PS - a light tint on the windows would look great

[vtecmossy]

Box and motor were fitted was some issuses but its all good now so once its flushed and tucked a bit should all go back together with a lot less hassel did have to recess the Chassis leg on both sides for the pulley and box .

Not a fan of tints tbh could of picked up some tinted rears a while ago but not my thing sure even wiped the ones off my coupe hate them tbh.

[vtecmossy]

Few other small bits done to this and getting a few goodies for it soon enough

Got a heap of this stuff aka brake line and my flaring tool bunch of new fixings and started to run some brake line to the prop valve some pics of that









Next step will be running it to each corner

Also painted rear hatch needed another coat r two and un masked that and like a big kid at xmas, Then started to wonder will black garnish work looks good to me but found a red one reminds me better ring him anywho pcs of that











Collecting some bits to give few more ponies and so can get it running again once motor is back in place.
thats all for now

continued

So got a euro r exhaust mani of Karlek9 nice one :thumbup: so can get it running soon enough also picked up a euro r flywheel and throttle body aswell will need extra air so makes sense and it loks so much bigger so

Some pics of the bits and some of a lil more progress

Throttle body comparision prelude right euro r left



One of it fitted to inlet manifold



Pic of the exhaust needs a tidy up but will just be on till turbo set up is all there for it



Painted front hubs and arms



Gearbox back off to fit the flywheel



old flywheel



Euro-r fly fitted an andy in the way :facepalm:



Then bothered to run another brake line r two but bat died so only 2 pics of that get more later





Load more been done and to do so update soon again but thats it for now L8r`s
