So been cracking on with a few bits while i gather other parts needed so started by painting the arospeed calipers red was a bit faded and chipped so purple it was instead few pics of the progress

Striped and masked bleed nipples and bolts


After a coat or two of the base colour



One one left is base coat, one on the right is finished colour


Finished result


Next i started to change the cars colour stuck to Nh-o and happy enough with it after a few coats






Still to flat it back and throw the clear coat over it but colors sweet on a boxy

More pics of the progress




Also picked these up instead of the ta tecnika`s have preload and dampining adjustment so should be better also eibach 60 mm spring







Also painted the mounting feet on the rear integra strut the same colour as the brakes thats all for now more soon :thumbup:

Ohlins coilovers are very good And rare in 4G fitment.

[vtecmossy]

I've got Ohlins and they are coilovers. Technically there a coilover as the coil goes over the shock anyway
But they are height adjustable and dampening adjustable.
If you take the spring off the metal perch at the bottom has 4 different height stages to go too.
Also if you stick a allen key in the top there are about 30 clicks of adjustment.

Mine are like this anyway. But mine have a different top mount, I tried to put poly bushes in but mine have rubber bushes with a metal pin in and were completely different shapes :S

Good build

Wheres the sump to floor clearance pic?! In my ek there isn't much so will be interesting to see yours

[vtecmossy]

Will be welding a skid plate to the sump because its fairly low tbh

[vtecmossy]

Since i knicked the wheels from this for my other civic been looking out for a set of something rare and jap found such a thing mighten suit every one but have a plan for them in need of a refurb atm but will get around to it soon enough so will be spliiting and doing ? ? with them for the min soon enough

Also picked up a set of rear ef-8/ee-8 calipers and hand brakecables

And a rear anti roll bar set up all in all

The wheels








There Rays texan shot-gun 16x7 et37, forged and real light and two piece and cheap as chips no center caps but using blox purple extended wheel nuts so no need for them nor would they fit with them so wouldn`t fit them it they had centers
