Civic Sedan Build - JTCC Inspired

I'm surprised you'll be raising the engine! However, not by much and it should be offset by the suspension changes?

Exactly, the car will be ~50mm lower than a normal lowered Honda and i'm only going to move the engine up 15mm so that's still a net 35mm lowering of the engine (does that make sense??)

We want tubs!

Makes sense!

Here's a couple of phone snaps from the last week

Check out the bellmouths machined into the plenum flange plate



Cleaned the decals off the boot and fitted a blanking plate in place of the rear number plate



This is what the car looks like as of this afternoon. All major panels removed in preparation for cutting and welding of the shell.

Epic epic epic! Keen to see the tubs in.

Photo dump of the work that I managed to get done in my holiday break

It will come as no surprise to anyone that it took me longer than expected to get the front tubs done.

I had hoped to get both the front and the rear tubs completed by the time I return to work so I didn't get as much progress as I wanted but that is the nature of working on cars I guess.











Front knuckles are all modified with the pressed in inserts and they look good.



This is how my front tow hook is mounted



This is where my oil cooler will be mounted. I'll be making some brackets up for that this week.



Also this week I want to get these blanking plates welded into the firewall



And assemble this assortment of plates



Into my new rear shock towers

Tubs look great.

That's the plan, the paint that's on it is just to seal it.
