Yesterday I decided to tear into the car a little bit. I'm used to working on the trailing arm/double wishbone setup on my Civic, I couldn't believe how easy it was to rip through the suspension. Super stoked to get some progress done on the car.
Another shot of the car. It's in pretty good shape, lets see how this Nissan thing goes.
Heater fired up, time to kill some brian cells
Decided to tackle the front suspension first
Springs/struts out along with the tension rods. Holy fuk McPhearson strut cars are weird
Front looking pretty bare
Moving onto the rear
Springs/struts, upper control arms, tension rods, traction rods out
Old suspension out (ignore the d16 block, possibly doing a sleeved motor on the Civic eventually. Preferably before the end of the decade)
Old vs. new
Front coilovers on
Gonna sup at the hunny dips with my camber plates
Rear coilovers on
Thought I would vacuum out the car too. Using all the dog hair to clone myself a dogsled team.
*dealwithit*
Arguably the most important mod on this build: Project Mu reservoir cover I got at Tokyo Auto Salon
Used my extensive know-how and masterful skills to install the cover
This was one of the huge reasons that sold me on the car, the bay has fresh paint that is really nice. I decided to wipe it down with a spritzer bottle full of water and a couple drops of dish soap.
