Yer Custom Projects

Hey peepz - This is for anyone with a list or just couple or even (a) custom project you're working on, youre gonna work on, or already did work on. And if u want, give some tipz/pointers/how-tos - whatever u want - i'll start this off ;)

Did: On/Off switch mounted for fog lights .. thas it :(

workin on: Prelude tail light conversion , Accord proj.'z head light conversion, custom lil boxes that fit in rear corners of trunk for speakers.

Bout to work on: Custom sub box, wheel well in trunk made into fiberglass smoothed out box to fit future pumps and air tank in, back of rear seat so amps mount in

more, but in further future ;) sdf

i made a sub box to replace my spare tire it molds to the spare tire well and look like a regular trunk floor when i cover the subs with the fabric grill i made. pretty simple, just made a wooden square then layed in fiberglass mat topped it off with a wooden top and covered with upholstery.

nothin too extensive as of yet, but when summer arives i plan on cutting a board out to fit the back of the hatch basically to where the seat would end in the back and take out the back seats and let it lay flat and put black carpet over it so it would look like a clean 2 seater. ofcoarse this will be after 5% tint goes all the way round

Some of you might have read my post about making a rear spoiler and also air cutters.

umm....i fitted a 87 integra lip to my 88 civic hatch. :D

I'm painting my interior door panels now, i made a shitty box for my sub but am going to do a fiberglass one this summer hopefully, i put in switches for foglights/neons and they are still there but the foglights and neons are gone

Only custom stuff I've done is the sub box and mounts for my front 6.5's (which took over 3 hours and 2 designs:devil: )

hopefully i'll get around to the sub box, i made a pretty neat design/idea. Im making 2 windows instead of the 1. So u can see when u open trunk the front, then when u pull seat back, the back of em. Im fiberglassin trunk out, but not sure how im gonna make it look as far as shape , etc.. i'll get some pix of that and my custom speaker box's in my trunk. *cant find wire to hook from cam to comp. :( *

I did the 94+ Integra center console conversion. Pretty clean, but Im going to make it fit better. Also, it needs a new arm cushon

I painted my vents and gauge surround with aluminum paint. Unless most of the customs of that nature, this one came out pretty clean.

I will be ditching my 12" box and making custom enclosures for 2 8" subs in the hatch. I want it to look Oem, and I am going to hide the amp behind the pocket in the p/s rear seat.

As soon as I get some time, I will start experimenting with composites. Mainly, I want to get good at making small Carbon Fiber pieces. My biggest wish is to be able to make a Cf Lip spoiler for the front bumper.

I have put a punto rear wiper on

I AM THE ONLY 1 TO DO THAT!!!!!

my current project...http://members.aol.com/_ht_a/skatemesa1/images/sunvisortv.jpg

oh man where to start.

Suspension

full CRX Si Suspension swap (rear discs, swaybars, all that crap)
integra front brakes
red energy suspension bushings
tokico blue struts and matrix coilovers
camber kit
neuspeed upper front and upper and lower rear bars
ALL sandblasted and painted with black (and some red) super high temperature ceramic paint (not the autozone spray can stuff, this shit is industrial stuff my dad got for work. he works on an oil rig)

Body

88 hatch
CRX fenders, black housing corners, and black housing projectors
CRX combat front bumper
carbon fiber OEM style hood with no emblem or squirter holes
shaved antenna, rain gutters and emblems
SiR spoiler
intruder, invader, incapacitated sideskirts + door caps (whatever the hell they are called, ill just say they are like Walts)
97+ prelude carbon fiber housing taillights molded in
molded taillight center piece
mugen rear bumper
ALL body kit pieces are molded to the car.

Interior
headliner down to the pillars wrapped in red suede
everything below the pillars wrapped in black vinyl
GSR center console molded to civic upper section and all wrapped as one piece in black vinyl with red suede armrest
Recaro N-joy front seats (soon to be wrapped in red suede, right now they are black and grey
type R floormats and matching red carpet
various trim and A/C vents painted red
6.5" rear speaker brackets
soon to have an old school NES in the glovebox, 4 score adapter under the center console armrest, zapper gun in holster on passenger side of center console, and 10 inch fold down TV on ceiling
NONE of the stuff is in the car right now, cause im doing the bodywork, and i dont wanna mess anything up

Drivetrain

b16a1 with hybrid YS1 tranny (USDM 93 GSR tranny with 1-4 gear from JDM S1)
ACT street/strip clutch
PR3 ecu
skunk2 intake manifold
neuspeed header
match ported to head on both manifolds
MSD power tower and Blaster 2 coil
custom stainless 3 inch short ram intake
place racing mount kit
hasport shift linkage kit
battery relocated to the trunk

im certain i forgot lots of stuff, but thats what happens when all of the parts and strewn about on the garage floor while you work on it all.

when its finished itll be championship white, rolling on 18" RH evolution rims, and look just about as close to a JDM R car as a 4th gen civic can look.

I took out the destroyed stock particle board that covers the spare, cut out that piece of carpet, and built a 3/4" piece of MDF that fits the countours of the bottom of the trunk. It it seperated down the middle and held together by the carpet so it can be folded to about a 30 degree angle and slipped out of the trunk to gain access to the spair. It is a tight ass fit, but the sound quality improvement was amazing, and it looks hella clean. If I can get my hands on a digi cam I'll snap a few pics.

Next up: Amps on the back of the back seat. Going for the cleanest install possible.

Modified bat tray for a large battery. Custom roof distorion thanks to bass waves strecthing metal and hmm.. DFamn my car is almost stock:( LS engine is being searched for:devil:

if you look at the picture you can see the mold for my tv I made to fit into where the center vents would be

heres another pic of the mold I mad for 6'4 lcd monitor

That looks pretty damn nice!

LOL Jim, so have I. :) had it on my corsa aswell.

I got two projects I'm workin' on now. I got the turbo kit that I'm puttin' together for the b16, got the turbo so far, and I'm workin' on gettin' the manifold and intercooler. The other thing I'm doin' right now is the 5th gen. Civic front end conversion, I got the headlights, fenders, and hood. Now I just gotta get the bumper, and the fenders welded, and the conversion will be done.

I also have the 5th gen conversion but still have a little bit of molding to do mine is the red car "of course"

Can I get some more pics of that, and some details of what you did?

looks like all he did was put 5th gen lights on and modify the stock hood by adding on to it to fill the gap

ya I did use the stock hood and welded it to mold around the lights but I also used 95 civic front bumper not as easy bumper had to be choped and remolded

ONLY THING I DID WAS INSTALL A PUSH BUTTON IGNITION...THAT'S ABOUT IT SO FAR

:spit:

ahh alright, the one seat cushion, was that fully on? if so, try 2 add more foam under it or make the cover tighter, so it doesnt look sloppy, just a few pointers i picked up while learning the trade

no I just haven't put the bottom back on yet so it looks to big but when I put the metal bottom in it makes it real tight

Street Dream, what center console u have???

I used the center consol out of a 98 integra

yo I just suicided my hood tell me what you think took me a long time my boys like it but my girl dosen't

I mad my own hinges well used hinges from old cargo van and just modified them to work
I have already started the pass door we have the hinges on but still have to put in like the bear claw and make it look all smooth and shit should have pics like in a week .

can you do a how to on the suiciding hood when you get the chance????

Have you thought about selling those tv molds? I know i would buy one, maybe a how to or something just an idea, didn't mean to bring up this thread again but i thought it was a good idea. Just looking around for info on the teg center console and got a few nice ideas from this, very nice work to all of you with pics. I am getting ready to build a custom fg enclosure, as well as the teg console swap once i find one for a good price, teg gauge cluster swap as soon as i can find a vss that will fit in my tranny without interfering with my motor mount. I am also working on getting gsr leather seats. All of this while saving for my engine and turbo kit, thank god i have student loans to pay my bills up for 5 months so i can save :)
