yeah, i used some used del sol fenders for the front side and my stock ones for the back... im not the best welder and so it didnt really turn out the way i had invisioned it. i think i might look at getting some new fenders from certifit and try again.. or have my boss do it. i didnt overlap the driver side like i was able to on the passenger side... but the passenger side didnt line up as well.. go figure... oh well even with the way it looks im getting double-takes from people driving around town... any suggestions on a better fitment for the headlights? they are sitting back from the bumper a little bit, and ive tried to loosen it and then push and retighten, but it failed.
Im actually really suprised someone doesnt make fenders for the swap too. ive been looking. maybe once im done i need to mold mine at my brother's shop and start selling kevlar/ cf/ fb ones.

 

headlights look fine to me... but if you want to space them forwards alittle either use a dremel to open up the plastic holes on the headlights OR the metal mounting areas. gotta move them all forwards. not sure how they bolt in so cannt be sure exactly how to.

just remmeber with your next mold job do it with the hood on the car and use some magnets to hold the top of the fenders even with the hood. you need that hood on to ensure your body lines are in the perfect spot.... yours looked like just a hair off to low. and to make it a bit easier to line up use some wood paint stir sticks to set the fender gap with the hood. the thicker ones work better since they are flat. the thinner ones tend to be bent or bend to easily.

just stand back before welding any and those square welding magnets help alot to line everything up and keep it even while doing some spot welding.

just keep at it youll get it... but if your not sure of your welding/.grinding skills just let a friend that knows do it. or take your time and use a bucket of room temp water and towel or sponge to keep cooling the metal after doing a few small spot welds.... i wouldnt use cold water as it might make it warp also. your just speeding up the cooling metal a bit that way you can make another spot weld sooner. just DONT RUSH IT! i did with my trucks old door handles shaving and first door i did i warped the crap outta the sheet metal from spot welding to long. and the other door i warped by grinding the spot welds down to long at one time. its definatly a learning experience that shows you to take your time. do a few spot welds and sit back and chill for a minute. and the same with grinding the spot welds down smooth. dont try to grind a spot smooth all at once.

 

Looks pretty good.

 

looks good. Put a lil love into the fenders and she'll be a beaute

 

i bought a new z6 si head today that i think im gonna wind up putting on, but i also got offered a jdm d15B head that has been ported and polished for a couple hundred? what would be the better head to put on? the only reason i like the z6 is because it has a Comp Cam 59300 in it at the moment. is it possible to put the the cam from the z6 into the jdm d15b. the main reason i swapping now is because ive been losing alot of coolant and have been trouble shooting everything, so its time for a new head gasket and im checking out the head to see if its warped today too.

 

updates?

 

Well not that many things have changed on the civic. I've been getting all the pieces together to do a manual conversion. Just looking for an lsd now and I gotta order a 6 puck clutch. My head was warped from overheating so I swapped it for a d15b that was ported and polished and put the comp cam in it.I think I lowered the compression to much though because now its slow as heck! But oh well it'll work better for the turbo later, hopefully.

 

BACK FROM THE DEAD!
I ran into some financial probs and not internet for a while, but now all things are good... today im finally going to be putting on the KONI yellows and sk2 race springs and lca's. ill post some pics hopefully tonight to show the drop... and then she's going to the doctor to get the cancer removed from the rear quarters.

 

so, i got the front dropped on stock struts, and well im thinking of making my car a widebody. does it sound like a good idea, or a failure?

 

a massive failure. /ofthatquestion

any updated pics?
