My Si Ef-3 h22a hatch build

[vtecmossy]

vti`s are keskin kt4`s ones one the levin are str`s look like spoom reps or something else cause remind me of some other wheels

[SuperDOHC]

I was asking about the levins wheels

A friend has some similar and claims the original regamasters

[vtecmossy]

Nope there kinda like rota slips with a polished lip rega`s have made in russia on the back somewhere these dont haha and flaking polished lip tells me str`s on my levin getting a repaint something interesting anyways soon enough

[vtecmossy]

Threw a few bits on this to make room to fit a clutch to the ek and save them being damaged so took a few pics kinda of a teaser of what it will look like when its all finished in champ white anyways some pics


Filler bar, T bar, and head lights fitted



All the front bits on it not bolted up but you get the idea







A pic or two of the two of them





Thats all really been busy with the other one

[SuperDOHC]

really love the early spec front end of a standard GL one

great work its slowly coming together

colour coding always looks good IMO

[vtecmossy]

Yeah the early spec front bumper looks good colour coded very happy with how it looks

Cheers

Not much happened on this found a few parts i needed like an ef-2 front subframe till i get my traction bar as the ef-9 one wasn`t working out so swapped mine for burchellcivic`s one and some other bits for the missing pin stripe bump strips i was missing Cheers for that burchell

Sorted the dc5 recaro`s height with spacers on the rear 2 mount points so they both sit level and slide now

Port matched the inlet to match the bigger throttle body

Spacers be coming in soon so can actually fit my hubs+ brakes wheels and drop it to the ground And was missing a 90 degree valve so had to get a tiny one and an extension for the time being will be ordering a new set of valves before it hits the road as the old ones aint looking as fresh as the wheels , also picked up a tanabe backbox i`ll be running some custom 2.5inch pipe from the fujitsu to the tanabe with some angle and a bit sideways

Have 80 per cent of the bay primed and smoothed what looked nasty but aint going all out flushing to much engine in the way not much point and pain me hole doing it and only lil bit left so just getting it into a roller finish last small bit start the fun bit off putting it all together like a big crazy jigsaw with no picture on the box

few pics of bits done to it








Picked up some sounds for it along the way



missing trim bits



Be rolling as soon as spacers come in hurry up Andy cant wait to see it on the ground and see how low my sump is heap of updates soon and if parts dont come soon i`ll get board and start playing with this



update 2

Done a few bits to this put the motor back in to check my clearance issues are gone for good and they are happy days , Got it into a roller with some 17`s up front still dont clear the brakes so gonna sell the ray`s take near 500 with tires 450 as are with 2 tires on, So can find something jap with + offset instead of minus

anyways pics of that sitting on ek4 stock shocks so very crv atm but once i get the ohlins on it`ll be alot better have the ohlins in the rear, have to sort a front subframe issue and i`ll throw the fronts in

Reason i have to sell my rays friking big brakes



Shocks rear sub front sub and camber arms on



Tried to fit brakes with 17`s no luck



Motor in lower pulley has half inch clearance now and no longer hits the chassis legs or will ever hit with the mounts







Rear mount is fairly tight but will see how that goes


The tanabe i picked up checked what it was at the time forget now but good reviews and should be loud ,





The rear lip i made from my old black bumper fits nicely to the jap bumper



The last bit i`ll be making white soon as i smooth it out after the welding and filler and mark out the pinstripe fit chargespeed skirts i`m collecting 2moro at some stage ,



All four wheel`s on the ground after about a year and a half



Also picked up some charge speed side skirts couldn`t find ef-9 ones so will make do with these and a ek-9 gear knob and trs strap which i`v fitted to my ek-4 saloon matches all its blue bits will get a purple one for this



plan on being all finished in a few weeks

[SuperDOHC]

nice progress mate definatley coming together more and more day by day

i like the idea of the chargespeed side skirts from the ek on to this will be intresting to see how it fits on and how it looks

[vtecmossy]

Started the fun job of making the skirts fit same as always with this car nothing fits first time but chopped a few inches of trimed and tried about 10 times and are done now look good with the black handles and mirrors





Still to sort the end caps




So was board of that by then and masked of the window again



engine






started to throw on some champ white











After many many coat of base and clear kind of looked like this



Thats it for now

[vtecmossy]

Got some new rollers for this that actually clear the calipers nice one Aor , so they`ll do til i sell the rays or figure out what i`m doing with them , and can still move the car about so happy days





Fitted most of the front end for flatting it back for last coats and clear coat




Front strut, 1 inch m/c airfilter and rad collors and hoses fitted,





C pillar and lower strut fitted





and how it stood after i was finished





loads more to do over the next while so should be a few updates . :thumbup:

[callum0892]

Looking soo good man, massive effort.
I love the wheels without spokes.
Not keen on the m/c cap or strut bases though

[vtecmossy]

Wheels are for sale in parts section love the wheels myself very rare ray`s aswell but dont want to run 25mm spacers

I like the green and the airfilter is just for now wont be whats used fecking cheap as tenzo be making way for v/s and the whole bay will be tidied more towards completion purple and green bits hopefully tein boot struts and the like

[M8NYG]

Cars looking very nice
