My T1 Build Starts Here

[3GCVC]

I have spent over a week finishing off the rust, just started putting it back together today. i had to install AT civic brakes for now because i had a problem with the brakes i intended to install so i will work on those later i need to get the WOF before my inspection expires.

anyway pics,

the new master booster combo is a pretty tight fit but it does just fit.

i also hate the location of the fuel filter so i got a different setup and mounted it and plumbed it i think it looks way cleaner, i will likely also relocate the fuel pressure reg as it will be in the way of my intercooler plans.







i will get better photos tomorrow and hopefully a WOF

Starting to get there now mate, looking good

It would have been nice if Honda stuck with the black dash and the better looking seats and steering wheel for the T2.

What was the hiccup you had with fitting the brakes? I assume you need to use the integra hub assembly also?

[3GCVC]

To swap bigger brakes on a T1 you use T2 hubs because they have the bigger caliper spacing and you can put whichever size calipers on you want. one of my calipers ended up having a rusted piston so need to wait.

im not even 100% sure that they will fit on i need to try and experiment some more, if they dont i will try CA3 twin spot calipers but then i need to do a bit more work with the master cylinder because its a bigger size again.


Anyway i got a WOF today after bleeding the brakes and finding a slightly longer speedo cable, the standard city one was too short with the bigger booster.

At the moment im running just the bare minimum nothing under the dash and no door skins or interior really. i took it and weighed it it weighs 670kg which i thought was pretty light. i got some fogs from justin and i dug out some trims for the headlights,

anyway pictures...
brake rotors are a bit glazed and ripped but they are only temp until i get the real brakes sorted.

Its amazing what a little polishing can do i wet sanded them with 2000grit then used Meguiars Plastix to polish the pics dont make them look shiny but believe me they are, these are the first of the lights to be polished i will get to all of the faded plastics eventually,

Looking good man, musta been a dodgy warrant, its not legal to have no door skins on I could do with a dodgy warrant for my city atm

All my lights came up really nice with just Plastix and heaps of elbow grease.

[3GCVC]

it was a recheck they were there originally they just didnt check that they were still there lol

[James]

Hehe nice one

[spike10000]

Wow, those fogs came up fantastic, good job!

[TURBOCITYCITY]

if you need t1 carpet up front I've got some spare

[3GCVC]

yeah i have some thrashed carpet is what you have tidy? ie just need a clean maybe?

[DODO]

ive got T2 red carpet for sale if any of you are interested

[3GCVC]

i really need the dash to put the interior back in. i also need the piece of sound deadening from off the firewall mine is forked.

The wheels on this car are also for sale if someone is interested in them i have some SSR Longchamps 13x5.5 to finish polishing and put on.

[TURBOCITYCITY]

yeah i have some thrashed carpet is what you have tidy? ie just need a clean maybe?

yeah it's reasonable condition no rips or tears slight fade usual wear but nothing too bad would come up good if washed

[3GCVC]

Right this beast is still going hard put a boost tap on running 13psi and using oil really badly im getting a motor to rebuild soon.

also got some parts from japan for the build.

all i can say is HKS is a winner and i love Mugen
















So you could guess that there is big plans to come for this city.

[QikLude]

is the limited slippery a early civic one or for something else?

Looks like it should be sick dude
