Marks Civic 1.4 GL Track car 04/03/2013

Post by Sonic-jdm »

Here's my project, my plans are to turn it into a manual with a B16a2.
I believe this is going to be a nightmare to do as it a Auto, but I do like a challenge.

Thought il post up a few pictures of my EG race car that I'm racing this year with the Civic cup 2013

Right so the work starts!
Image

Fuel tank removed
Image

Image

Bit of weight saving cut and removed brackets no longer needed
Image

Anyone wants to know how heavy a ef door is..........26kg! that's with out door card and speaker!
Going to try and get these down between 12-14kg each.
Image

Going to need abit of guidance doing this B series transplant......

Question time!
Q1. Do I need a fuel tant from a CRX plus fuel lines? Can you not modify the original fuel lines to fit?
If you have any of the parts that you think I will need to pull this project off then drop me a PM
Thanks
Mark

What do you have? we are looking at V2 Competition wheels 13x8 to run 22x8x13 Mickey Thompson tyres, or a set of Weld Wheels.

I have a set Of Team dynamics 1.2 pro cost me £465 and had to wait 14 weeks! to have these made for Honda fitment/off set.
I was going to run these in the civic-cup but they changed the rules for 2013 to 15" wheels only! So my plan went out the window!
Brand new never used still in boxes 4x100 et35 13x7j light weight!
These fit over 262 vti brakes etc etc but not 282.
£300 collected no less.

Nice progress so far dude :top:

Bit of a random Q, but, what is the colour of the floor in the Eg ? I take it you re-painted it ?

As for the swap a fuel tank would make things much easier just a Vt tank. Crx lines wont fit IIRC they are too short due to Crx shorter Wheel base.

Converting them from auto to manual is an absolute doddle, worst bit drill two holes otherwise its un bolt and bolt on.

Yeah I'm just trying to find a VT tank at the mo but no luck so far.

Regards to the paint yes it was resprayed. We made the paint colour up there and then with what we had left over, mixing Matt black with abit of blue and white....so sorry there is no paint code I'm afraid :(

you can use a 16-16i tank like mentioned above...

I think you can use the original feed line but you will need to use a new return...i just used braided lines through the whole car...

Looks like this will be a sick project!
