Hey!

I made a blog where I'm frequently posting updates of my car. Thought maybe a few of you would like to check it out when bored.

I'm doing this all on my own. Don't expect too much because i'm just doing this build for fun and I'm not a car mechanic. I learned everything just by trying things out and learning from my mistakes. I don't have access to fancy equipment and i'm doing this in a small shed without electricity.

Working on cars became my hobby 10 years ago. Building this thing is one of my bucket list things.

If you want to share your advice, please do so!

I have an 01 Civic and an 83 Accord currently. The clutch pedal pad really hit home. They both need it. Love how meticulous you seem to be with everything.

Thanks alot OEM! awesome name by the way.

I'm not sure if im allowed to post other websites, but I used ''Amayama'' to find OEM part numbers. Most small parts can still be purchased directly from Japan from that site aswell!

I appreciate that, I'll have to look into it. Parts are a bear to find for the 83. It spent the last 35 years in my Grandfather's basement, so it needs quite a bit to get going again.
The 01 I will pull out soon to swap heads for vtec and replace the input shaft bearing. I may steal some of your ideas. (Love the paint you went with on the engine.)
