Plans?

KennyFSU · 07-23-2020, 03:38 PM

Nice, I hope to see a K swap soon!

neilvan · 07-23-2020, 03:38 PM

Looks like you're going for a CTR clone kind of route. Engine plans?

CTR goodies and engine / trans
Authentic / rare jdm parts. No eBay or knock off parts

itsrichierich · 07-23-2020, 03:40 PM

That 5 lug though!

Looking forward to this build!

Nashville · 07-23-2020, 03:40 PM

Seeker wing, JDM B16B engine and transmission

Nashville · 07-23-2020, 03:46 PM

OEM CTR grille, front and rear lips for 96-98 spec
Seargent dead pedal

Mingwan · 07-23-2020, 03:46 PM

When you said CTR engine and trans, I was kind of hoping you meant the K20C1 lol

But you can’t go wrong with a B series engine in an EK.

oh man im with ya.
ive always been a honda person, loved my 1st gen tsx
i want a 911 gt3 touring, i plan to keep my e90 m3, i want a rs6 avant, but i also dream of getting a clean b16/18/k20 ek9 civic hatch...

I think a rough estimate of what I have in it so far (including the price of the car) is about $5500

I've gotten some very good deals and also over paid for a few things I.e the front grille

lol cool,
that grill looks EXACTLY like the grill i bought for my 1st gen TSX
It was an authentic Mugen front grill for TSX I bought from ebay japan, took me 2 months and $$$ but was worth the look

I think u got an awesome deal, or lots of DIY will save u much money
if I can get a healthy B series + EK9 hatch w/ decent champion white repaint under $15,000, Im gonna start looking for a non-rusted shell.

Honestly finding a non modified ek hatch was the hardest part. That's why I resorted to buying from the junk yard

Moflow · 07-23-2020, 10:24 PM

This is rad. Nothing like an EK hatch to tickle my nostalgia nerve!

billnchristy · 07-24-2020, 06:01 AM

Love it, and nice to see you not going apeshit on power.

ShocknAwe · 07-24-2020, 10:35 AM

Nice build. Love old JDM stuff. Keep it coming!

henrylee · 07-24-2020, 10:39 AM

Keep the progress coming!!

itsrichierich · 07-24-2020, 11:40 AM

So what color do you plan on painting it?

It's crazy that a junkyard has cleaner Honda than you can find on the used car market.

Alfisti · 07-24-2020, 01:41 PM

Wait, those seats were in the yard?
