Slow_Hatch build thread: I'll update as progress continues
Well in light on an upcoming trackday I signed up for, I decided it was time for some changes/maintenance and upgrades to the Slow EF. Not so much to the motor(although that is next on the list) but more to the handling department. So I searched for a good bit then came up with a list of sh!t that needed to be addressed on the car. The main things were the suspension, bushings, and the tranny w/ a few other little things too. I've pretty much got everything I need, but some has still yet to arrive. Now for some build....

Here is my work area, lol. The car is pretty torn apart now. I've already got the tranny out and gone, whole front suspension is out, and some of the rear as well

Where's the tranny

Suspension, or lack there of..

My work counter, enhabited by extra LS head, etc, and a majority of other parts, lol

And the spare LS block(coming soon.....)

The front suspension pieces cleaned of ready to be striped of their old tired bushings, and replaced with new healthy ones

And here is something I purchased to help with that

Which turned out to be joke. You get what you pay for. I'll be returning it, and getting the oxy torches from work tomorrow

So....I've started doing some of the bushings in the LCA which I thought would be halfway easy, boy was I wrong. These things are a major PITA. I bought the press, put it together in like 10min, then spent the next 1 & 1/2 only to get one of the smaller ones out. So needless to say ill be torching the rest.

Here are some more of things to come
Got my hubs/spindles redone. New wheel bearings, studs, and lower ball joints

Ported w/ larger wastegate flapper 14b

Civic master set

Rear Trailing arm bushings

And my method of removing them (BTW I will rent this tool out if you need it)


and finally some real shocks(compared to my old stockers) Ground Controls should be here in the next day or two


Oh and some new wheels and tires
