HCF Project Section - 315 Customs 2000 Civic Si Build Thread

Ok heres the build thread for the 2000 Civic Si I am building for my boy Jake. His car his funds my labor!

We are going to Import vs Domestics at Maryland International Raceway tomorrow for the end of the year race and car show. I'll get more current pics of the car tomorrow of the interior and engine bay shots.

Nice. Your garage looks fantastic. Is Jake taking an interest in learning how to work on the car? By the way, when you install a spoiler, do you disconnect the third brake light in the rear window or leave it connected?

LMAO I wish that was my garage, that is actually the shop at Circuit City were I work part time.

Because it was a factory spoiler it came with the third brake light harness that you run where the one in the back window is, unplug it then plug it right into the spoiler harness

Yeah Jake helps with a lot of the installs. Actually I wasnt involved in the 5 lug conversion, I was busy working. Jake and a few buddies did that themselves.

Isn't Circuit City going out of business? How's that going to affect you?

they are closing a lot of store but not going out of business. The store I work at isnt being closed (as of right now) though i think it will be after the holiday season is over. It doesnt really affect me that much because I only work there part time as a second job and for the fun of doing installs so the only way it affects me is that I need to find somewhere to store my massive tool box lol

ok heres some more pics I got of the car, the weather has been total SH8T here lately so the car isnt very clean and brand new EBC brake pads with break in coating make for some very dirty wheels. Anyways:

Heres the leather Si seats that were isntalled in place of the cloth seats

This is a shot of the amps powering everything in the car. This set up for the amps is only temporary and thats why the wood isnt carpeted or anything. Im currently in the process of laying out a whole custom set up in the trunk for the amps and subs.

8k HIDS

So we decided to redo the entire system. The 3 eight inch subs are gone and the Earthquake D2 2000 watt mono block is gone.

Now in place of the 3 eights are two 12 inch DD 9512s. Heres a pic of the sub:
http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/315Customs/SNC00014.jpg

I forgot to take pictures of amps before we put the box in but in place of the Earthquake D2 we took out is now an Earthquake D3 3000 watt RMS mono block modified to be .5ohm stable and now a JBL 4 channel because the kicker 4 channel blew up. Heres the best pic of the amps I could get for you guys:
file:///C:/Users/Kevin/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpghttp://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a369/315Customs/SNC00023.jpg

The mono block is powered with 0 gauge power wire and protected by 150amp circuit breaker:

The battery has been relocated to the trunk with a Kinetik HC2400 car audio high performance battery:

Now these subs need a lot of air space so the box is huge. Barely fits:

When the civic had the 3 8 inch subs it did 142db on the meter, we are hoping for 145+ with the two 12s.

We will be aiming for 150+ db in the near future with the addition of another Earthquake D3 amp. I'll keep you all posted and will post video of metering the subs when the vehicle owner gets back from Virgina Beach next week.

the windshield you mean? yea the tint on this vehicle is dark as hell. I have the same tint on my integra but his looks darker just because of having the whole windshield tinted.

Looking good! That's a really clean Si. Love the leather seats.

(let me know if you have any random spare Si parts? I may have use for them.)

Ill ask my buddy if he has anything

lucky kid lol

Thats a mean sound system!! Haha good luck hitting 150 db, that'd be tight! Love the wheels, and that blue is pretty sweet :D

Oh....and where's your massive tool box?

So post these pictures already! Youve got me curious.

He took the car out of town for this week so I wont be able to take a picture until this weekend and post it.............

Haha the trunk can do the wave!!

Holy crap! Can you even stand being in the car with it up that loud!??!

Can only be in there for a short time with it that loud but it will be louder soon........

That Mofo took my idea, looks good though.

dam i want that car so bad. my favorite color and everything

Well the wheels were pulled yesterday and to be repainted again, should be back on by the weekend.

I'll post up pics once they are back from the painter.

Hey! where are the pics :(

dude, i want to see the new pics now. those wheels are so ill on the si, best wheel set up on those si's i've ever seen. IMO, lol, maybe a lil stretch of tires ;)

lol damn, isnt that bad or the car?

wow, i sure missed this thread. So nice!

So where are those pics? Not digging those wheels in all black, but might look pretty good with some EBP in it.

sorry guys I havent been keeping you updated.

He got the wheels back, I thought he was painting like parts of the spokes EBP and black pearl but all he did was paint the inside part of the wheel EBP, the entire face of the wheel is still black pearl.

I've been real busy moving and working so I've been putting his car on the back burner but as soon as I get a chance I'll try to get some pics but it'll be hard to really see the EBP without taking the wheels off the car.

wow this si looked just like mine does right now with the same exact wheels those fugly rh evolution.....me personally liked it more with the CTR white wheels...anyways post pics of the new version

yea I told my boy those 19s had to go man.

The white wheels are actually ITR wheels and yea I liked them better myself but the car does look better now with the coil overs back down on top of the 5 lug Si wheels.

As soon as he cleans his car I'll get some pics up.
