🕙Suspension & brakes progress.

Last thing I did before going on vacation 😁
The base plates for the front ASB are done (thanks Karol Pleskacz 🙏🏽), following the advice of Evan McLaren to bring the bar as close to the firewall as possible. It worked 🙆🏽‍♂️

Installed a less weight than I removed from the power steering 🤙🏽

For the rear brakes: I removed the splash guards and painted parts of the rear discs in black. This turned out nicely. In the process I almost messed up a thread of a rear brake caliper mount 🤦🏽‍♂️
Had to recut the thread and it worked

✅ Engine

The engine is together 🙆🏽‍♂️ Cam is degreed, valve lash is set, auxillaries installed. After my vacation it can be taken off the stand, gearbox can be added-- and the package is done.

You can see how extensively the runners were ported, the gasket needed quite some work and was finished with a dremel, because the shape wasn't big enough. Go big or go home, those 200hp are work 🤓

Next is the fun part: Fit engine & gearbox it into the engine bay with the new location, different axle length' and all 😅

And yes, I do look forward to clean the garage again when all this is done.

✅ Short block assembled

It took quite some time but patiently cleaning everything and installing new seals all around saves headaches during the season. Tried to capture the block changes I added with the help of my machine shop, Bamotec Nuremburg: Installed BMW oil squirters and put some holes above the crank alley.
Block turns smooth as f***, even with all four pistons and rods torqued to spec you can rotate it by hand.
Using the D17 oil pan still is an all time favorite mod, it seals perfectly (via liquid sealant, like K series oil pans) and has built in baffles that work during hard cornering on track. It's a bit heavier than the steel pan, but that I accept.

✅ Head assembled

It has been the millionth time assembling a D16 head, wo I forgot to take more photos. Just scroll back in my feed to fund more 😁

This one has new OEM valve spring seats, as the old ones didn't feel to good When Karol Pleskacz and I checked them, while we were replac8ng rhe valve seals last year
He also helped me with smoothening the valve aurfaces, ao that rotation doesn't cause harm to the apeing seats or retainers.
VTEC block off, plugs and sensors also installed... good to go 💪🏽

Old ➡️ New

Had a great opportunity to replace my fuel tank for just a few bucks.
The replacement is an aftermarket one from Ashuki and I'm curious if it performs as reliable as my OEM tank. Which I'll put in the shelf, just in case...

Couldn't replace the tank straps, the aftermarket ones were total garbage, so I'm currently lacking an alternative to my 31yrs old 👀
Improvised a bit on the buffering elements but these (padding material from packages & duct tape) are in better shape than the original ones 😅

Also replaced the Nitril line with PTFE and re-added some insulating material where the exhaust is close.

Side effect: the new tank saves another 1.5kg 💪🏽

[Unpaid ad] Shout out to for the high quality suspension parts they offer 🤝🏽
Preparing everything properly needs expertise, and the finished result is just awesome!

Look forward to hitting the track with this setup 💪🏽

Done with the underbody scraping & painting.

Engine bay is rat style and will stay like this 🤓
For now at least, will be painted when big upgrades are hitting. Stay tuned!

Depowered ST7 steering. Out of a DB Integra, identical to the Integra DC2 Type R steering.

Assembled, sealed, bolts and nuts are marked -- ready to go in 💪🏽
Turns very smoothly, it's just hard to film and turn evenly at the same time 😅

Curious how this will be on track 👀

Depowered Integra DC2 steering rack 👌🏽

Thanks to .sun I got an Integra DB6/DB8 steering rack (Thank you 🙏🏽). Which is the same as from an Integra DC2 Type R.
hinted that I need a cross-joint from a DC2 as well, to connect it to the EG steering column. And he's right 🤝🏽
Addition to that: it turns out, that the Civic EJ/EK cross joints do have the same, fitting dimension: 16mm on the steering rack side, 14mm on the steering column side. (EG has 14mm both sides).

Disassembled, Depowered, Reassembled, happy me 🙆🏽‍♂️
Improved lock-to-lock turns plus much simpler and more robust mechanics (sliders guiding the rack are metal, not plastic, ...).
Everything worked out great, it's ready to go in the car -- car is just not ready yet 🤓
Depowered and manual for now, but will get electrical steering column support in the future.

Scraping the underbody just takes forever and I did this as a reward inbetween. 1.5 wheel houses are still missing. Plus parts of the rear, these Civic Coupes are looong 😁

Scraping the wheel houses and underbody, approx. 8h of work up to now.
