1988 Honda Civic STD

i realized i havent been labeling the pics for a while

heres a quick rundown of the mods ive done, that i remember

converted from cable actuated clutch to hydraulic actuated clutch installed 2 aluminum racing seats updgraded from 9.5" front brakes to 10.3" with integra type r calipers and hawk pads "tucked" all the brake lines and relocated the proportioning valve to under the dash removed stock seatbelts and installed 4 and 5 pont harnesses removed everything under the hood and repainted it removed all the front suspension and repainted it went from 15x6.5 wheels to 15x9 front and 15x8 rear removed weight

still lots more to come

going from a D16A6 to a D16Z6 ebay cold air intake (marginal performance improvement over the stock air box but lighter) going from stock open cable trans to lsd hydro trans

some more stuff thats still a secret/pending

firewall holes plugged drivers side harness ready to be attacked

deloomed

separated

ground block depinned

harness "tucked"

tires mounted

sneak peak

so that pretty much brings us up to date as to where the car is at now

had a very limited season in 2012 and didnt make many changes for 2013, had 1 event so far and won my class

Nice! Any plans for HPDE or trackdays? I've looked through this before, but this thread has been quiet for too long! ;)

Any more in action pics? I can't get enough of civics with bulging wheel wells (how dirty...).

Some really nice work went into that thing. Good job!

completely missed that there were replies to this. i did do one track day with it back a few years ago before the gutting/lsd/engine swap etc. itching to do another for sure.

Those wheels are drool worthy.

So Jelly!!!

Is that a D series!?! I am not a Honda guy at all, but I realy really want to pick up a cheap Honda with any 1.6 D series, slap some vitaras and an ebay turbo, throw some drag radials on it, and make it quiet and go troll people.

Im not even talking build it right or anything. I want to do it cheap and blow E36 M3 up constantly, racing anyone who will bite.

And it appears you're building a d series right and its making me sooo jelly!!!!

I hope it's raspberry jelly...that's my favorite.

Itsthe D16Z6 which is the 92-95 EX/Si engine

Is it sad that the thread title always makes me wonder if civics are passed on via intercouse? All I can see is sexually transmitted diseases instead of standard which is what std means in thos case.

Build is looking great. Making me miss my old crx.

In reply to Dusterbd13:

i always make sure to say STD

thanks!

This is a great build. A bit of a benchmark for my current build (thanks for the advice on that, by the way).

No problem. Glad to help. Hit me up with any specific questions.
