Started tearing down the hatch to replace the clutch and install the coilovers today. It's been shitty weather all day and the rain just came in again so all I got done was removed one side of suspension and the motor is all ready to be pulled.

 

[robertschultz1]

Swapped out the clutch, and put the front sleeves on. Have about 1 1/4" of threads left just waiting for springs to settle. Pictures from today.

doesnt look lowered to me. i think you are bluffing :eek3:

 

[robertschultz1]

I thought the same thing. They're brand new so hopefully it's just needs settling.

 

[jonathan2006]

Gonna get lip and fogs?

 

[robertschultz1]

Thinking about an OEM Si lip. And no fogs. I'll have to loose them for the IC piping anyways so not going to bother.

 

[robertschultz1]

Ordered an OEM Si lip. 1 of 2 left in the country since they're discontinued.

Also rode around the block on the new coils with 1 1/4" left of threads. Doesn't feel, or look low enough. Going to go to last threads.

one car isnt enough you have to build two civics, lol keep up the work. your lip will ship out in the morning. is that original red paint? it looks very clean!

 

[robertschultz1]

Yes, it's original Milano red. It's faded slighty could definitely use a new clear coat, or clear coat restore. And I've noticed in the sunlight slight hail damage. But other than that 220k on stock block and still running strong. This rebuild will be good for it. I have actually considered dropping the A3 in it and buying a k24 for the coupe. But I have to remember this is a DD lol. So about 7-10lbs will be good enough for a DD.

Good pickup, I wish I could find a clean one where I am for that price. Although if I had 2500$ spare I would just invest in a K swap :0 looks good so far.

 

[robertschultz1]

Thanks!

 

[robertschultz1]

Finished lowering it today. It's back on the road. last threads all around.

 

[jonathan2006]

That looks like a good height

 

[robertschultz1]

I remember why I hate sleeves. These things are bouncy as fuck.

Nice and clean for a 20 yr old car:tup:

 

[robertschultz1]

Thanks!

 

[BlackNDecker]

There is a nice pseudo splitter/lip for these cars...check my splitter build thread in the fabrication subforum on k20 for pics somebody posted up. I don't know the brand...but it looks pretty clean and not too flashy. Just an idea if you're looking for a lip.


EDIT...this:

 

[robertschultz1]

Already ordered a discontinued OEM Si lip. Thanks though.

 

[sgtbozz]

nice car, what engine was in it and what do you have now

 

[robertschultz1]

Came completely stock with 210k on a D15B7. Right now building a turbo mini-me using a JDM D15B head to go in it.
