the New Build thread. 96 Hatch

[rhd_civic_ej]

so of course my last post i show my new wheels...and that broken HYDRAULIC mount :p
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/beaugotti/civiciwheels002.jpg
and to the people who think this it is a urethane mount:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/beaugotti/builditbitch005.jpg
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/beaugotti/builditbitch006.jpg
I can see why someone who hasnt broken that mount, or take the motor out of a 96-00 civic would think it is urethane, it has a thick layer of urethane, and but it is hollow inside, with hydraulic fluid in there, what for i dunno:screwy:

anyway, with that all aside, that night after that mount broke i was for some reason driving to the store cause my girl wanted some ice cream, well i didnt even get out of the neighborhood when i heard a loud "POP!" and the car came to a stop :2up:

so i got it cranked got it back to the house, and it was knocking like a SOB...i dont know WHAT happened or anything but it would barely stay running, unless i stuck the gas to the floor, then it would kinda rev up.

so that brings me to this:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/beaugotti/builditbitch003.jpg

which makes my crowded space look like this:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/beaugotti/builditbitch004.jpg

i will be back with more updated, within the week should pick up my new short block and re do everything.

My plans for Phase one is to:
Get my motor rebuilt solid
clean up the bay
do a simple wire tuck if i can remember how, it has been about a year, since i have really done anything or had time to do anything to a car:gay:
respray the bay, dont know what color, thinking of going with something diffirent than red.

and do what ever else comes across the table.

so ill be posting updates at least once a week, seeing how im only off on sat and sun :p

thanks

[rhd_civic_ej]

Just Ordered

- 50 ft of brake line
- bearings

[rhd_civic_ej]

****ty pics i know :(

still looking for a decent short block, i really dont wanna have to re assemble this damn thing lol

[rhd_civic_ej]

oh, and since this is my first ek wire tuck, looking for any suggestions or helpful hints anyone has about place for like the fuse box, where to run the main harness, ect.

[Athens_Red_Rexin]

Looking great man!

[DrCRX90]

I always put the fuse panel in the a/c evap core box. and last time i dont one i ran the main harness where the airbag module was just take the module off and place it somewhere else. Then take the pedestal off of the fire wall and cut a hole with a gromet, and it looks pretty clean. gl with the project beau looking real good:goodjob: .
Here's the wire tuck i done on a ek
http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/9908/hpim0949lu5.jpg

[Dwisforme05]

^^ DANG thats clean. not as clean as the wire tuck u did on the GSR Hatch!

[chelezookie]

shut it, donnie. LOL j/k
looks good, mr. gotti!
how are the slips treating you? :]

[The BUCKY]

my fuse box is in the glove box for easy access. didnt have to lengthen any wires to get it there. infact there isnt a cut wire in my harness!!!

[jdmskate-R]

good work.
thats a tidy looking bay

[rhd_civic_ej]

thanks for the comments.

- donnie yea, thats what i was planning on doing, should take the dash out tonight to work on my brakelines.

- Bucky - i dont know if i want to do the fuse box in the glove compart, sicne i use it alot lol, or under the airbag. my buddy robby put his where the airbag was, and it was clean

i should have a clearer idea tonight once i get the dash out.

[The BUCKY]

i didnt want to put mine in the airbag spot because it seemed likeit would be a ***** to see if anything was blown. i do like my glove box mount though. i cut a bit of the back of the box out so its semi recessed

[DrCRX90]

Give me a call beau if you need help. gl it will look tight when you get done.

[rhd_civic_ej]

ya man, i pmd ya lost your numbah!

i have some ideas im playing around with toe be able to easily lift it up to check...donnie ill be home all day tomorrow if you wanna help, gonna be taking out all the hardlines, and gonna try to find a pressure washer to be able to get it ready for prep

[DrCRX90]

Just let me know are you going to do anything more to the motor i got some extra pieces laying around b16 pistons, itr cams, headers. Just give me a call.<DR>

[rhd_civic_ej]

Update Pics. didnt have a camera earlier :DOH:
stock dash:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/beaugotti/builditbitch001-3.jpg

NOT! BLABLAM!
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/beaugotti/builditbitch006-2.jpg

plenty of room to work back there:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/beaugotti/builditbitch005-3.jpg

and the bay, waiting for all my AN fittings to come in ::NINJA::
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/beaugotti/builditbitch007-1.jpg

Oh and i need some ideas on what route to go with the bay paint. these are the colors im toying with:
Battleship Grey - Good universal color for when i repaint the car
OEM Roma Red - Have a clean OEM look to it
or something off the wall crazy bassboat style

if i go battleship grey, then im prob going to do the interior to, since ill eventually have to, and i think it'd be kinda KOOL

[DrCRX90]

hell yeah,looks good. i got some wild flip flop candy colors at my house from the lowrider days. the tuck is lookin good.

[SL33P3R]

Lets trade wheels BEAU

[AnthonyF]

that looks good bro! Very nice work! I would suggest to get all those holes filled in for a ridiculously sexy look!

-Ant.

[Brock]

Looks awsome! keep it up.

[The BUCKY]

battleship grey would be kool if you can make it flow with everything else on the car. are your fittings black? if so i think it would work well. if they are red/blue maybe not.

[rhd_civic_ej]

donny - thanks man, ya ive been working pretty hard at it, im waiting to get my brake lines stuff in so i can get everything mocked up for the final stage, might have to do some bassboat :p

- taylor - we might be able to work something out, call me if you still have my numbah

anthony - thanks man, i really wanna do the holes, but i dont know if i can get a welder out here to do it, and i dont just wanna bondo/fiberglass it since its a semi daily driver, just due to gas prices :P

Bucky - My brake line fittings are all anodized blue, but my fuel lines are black, except for the piece that goes directly on the stock hardline, but anplumbing didnt have it in black. but you can see it anyway. brake lines should be dont this weekend, ups said they should be here friiiiiday


in other news tonight ill be doing the headlight harness, and main engine plugs, and might stick the dash back in to make sure all the fuse box wiring will reach.

[rhd_civic_ej]

got some stuff dont tonight, got the lower ac brakets removed, and got the headlight harness ran, gotta extend a few things. and thats done, so this weekend after i get my brakes dont ill be putting the interior back in and goto work on the motor

[rhd_civic_ej]

just a little update of a few parts that came in today...just waiting on ANplumbing to send the rest of my sh1t

some fuel rail stuff, and my mc fittings:
http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a108/beaugotti/builditbitch002-5.jpg

[xdavidscenex]

loving the tuck brake lines man. goodluck on the build.

[xdavidscenex]

how much did it cost you for all the fittings stuff for the brake tuck? im doing the same thing on my db7.

[rhd_civic_ej]

i dunno, everything total was right around 300 for the brake and fuel lines. but i bought enough for more than one tuck...

check out anplumbing.com they have great customer service and prices!

[The BUCKY]

i figured you spent more than that for the lines and fittings. i have way to much in my lines and stuff but its worth it. gonna keep adding. everything looks great btw

[EJ_Allmota]

DAMN, ****s coming along great homie...

[rhd_civic_ej]

i hope to spray this weekend, but today has been overcast...and i dont think the humidity will be dried up...bleh!

waiting on my bulkheads to finish up the brake lines to the fender wells, and then i can wrap up the wire tuck, and be ready to drop the motor in once the weather is right...starting to loose time though with it getting colder

[rhd_civic_ej]

babumpbumpbump newish

[Shibby]

you buying the cooling plate?


nice thread.

[rhd_civic_ej]

possibly i want it, i need to sell some stuff, ive kinda got on a spending rampage here lately lol...but someone is supposed to buy my block thursday, so you will prob have a payment that night :)

[The BUCKY]

what color you doing the bay? saw that you needed it sprayed

[rhd_civic_ej]

going with milano red, mainly cause i dont wanna risk battle ship looking like i painted the car red, and didnt paint the bay :p

ya i need it sprayed, i sold my gun about a year ago when i was getting out of the scene, and cant find anyone local to come shoot it

ill prob just order one from harbor freight to get the job done

[The BUCKY]

we just finished a milano red bay. looks good. why not milano red with some fire red flake?!?!?!

[rhd_civic_ej]

i might mix some flake up with it, i havnt decided...i know next spring im going to shave the bay, so i just want something halfway clean, cause im gonna just sand it back down in about 6 months, to weld, smoooooth out

[The BUCKY]

y not just do it now. nothing to it. and it will be alot easier to do it before you put all that paint on there

[rhd_civic_ej]

1. time
2. money just built me a house
3. gives me something to look foward to :p

[The BUCKY]

lol

[rhd_civic_ej]
