Kaiyin/Desired Knowledge Built EJ1: projectSPARTAN 2

Kaiyin · 08-30-2009, 10:37 PM

Finally brought it home. Cleaned it up and started disassembling the bay getting it ready for a semi-shave/tuck and paint. Need to pick up some more tools tomorrow to get the brake lines out.

paint is Captiva Blue. Don't know what color the bay will be yet. Now to find some BBS RS wheels.

OneSloZ · 08-30-2009, 10:59 PM

nhanson · 08-31-2009, 03:23 PM

mike93civic · 08-31-2009, 08:27 PM

Nice new project

Cant wait to see plans for this thing

OlMastaScrilla · 08-31-2009, 09:54 PM

Very nice, cant wait to see the end result.

goldfinger67 · 08-31-2009, 09:58 PM

What are ur plans? Are you gonna go with a similiar blue?

Kaiyin · 08-31-2009, 10:35 PM

some updates from today.

Whooh, parts!

My buddy from NWP came over to lend a helping hand. Picked up a new wrench set and flare wrench set and got most of the brake lines out and started on the brake booster and clutch master. Need a deep socket set to get the bolts on the other side of the firewall. :hammer:

Should have the bay completely stripped down tomorrow and then start getting the interior together.

a simple, clean, daily driver. Sticking with a d-series for now. Should look nice in a tucked/painted bay. Getting a koni/ground-control suspension setup to get it to the proper ride height, a lot of new suspension components (rear LCAs, front camber-kit and LCAs, EM Racing trunk bars, sub-frame brace, etc). Clean up the exterior; jdm head lights and corners, jdm tails, Spoon lip and sides, carbon hood, and some nice wheels. I want a set of BBS RSs or Sprint Racing CP-Rs.

see reply to Anti-Ricer. The car was painted last year, and might just need to be cleared again. There's a lot of dust on it. The front bumper just needs to get painted. The engine bay will be getting painted. Don't know what color yet.

Z28punk · 09-01-2009, 12:50 AM

in for updates, good luck.

Pocus · 09-01-2009, 01:51 AM

350chev · 09-01-2009, 03:28 AM

little by little. Damn brake booster is giving me hell. Upper right nut is kicking my ass.

Finished up the little stuff and washed the engine bay:

cleaned out the interior too:

all the crap so far

now, I gotta bring it to my friend's place so he can work his wiring magic.

Kaiyin · 09-01-2009, 10:52 PM

this car is my inspiration and what I am trying to shoot for. The build on mine won't be this extensive, but this is the look I am going for, just a different color.

mike93civic · 09-02-2009, 04:05 PM

That car is absolutely sick and Im not really even a fan of super stretched wheels on Hondas. What size wheel you plan on runnin?

probably a 15 with offsets in the 20s. I'm not gonna try and rock fitment like the phaze2 Civic, his shit is crazy.

mike93civic · 09-02-2009, 04:38 PM

He just had a feature in the last issue of Honda Tuning and it made me appreciate the H badge that much more. Their(Phaze2) ingenuity and creativity is unrivaled.

Brando · 09-02-2009, 04:42 PM

hey man if you ever need help just let me know. ill bring tools and experiance if you need

yep, I got a couple copies of that issue. Definitely an influential and controversial car, but I love it.

let me know... i just got recertified and have been praised as the best welder in our shop.

Kaiyin · 09-07-2009, 09:13 PM

some updates from this weekend. Brando came down for the weekend with his welder and we got down with some stupid stuff.

not too bad so far....

oh, and finally got a damn swivel so I could get that stupid last nut off the brake booster.

Z28punk · 09-08-2009, 01:22 PM

looks like its gonna be good man. I hate it when people shave their engine bay, but leave all the holes there.

hutch · 09-08-2009, 07:09 PM

Looking good!

67C10 · 09-09-2009, 04:31 PM

i'm hoping you're gonna turbo this thing? maybay?

93z28joel · 09-25-2009, 07:14 PM

Any updates.

Marcus · 10-07-2009, 10:21 AM

SPARTTTTTTAAAAAAA! Lol. John you're so not putting a d series in that.

Any updates?

Kaiyin · 10-18-2009, 11:01 PM

hutch · 10-19-2009, 12:01 AM

Slammed Hondas are fine. Streched wheels/crazy offsets, however, are just another fad.

To each his own though. Good luck with the build.

Kaiyin · 01-04-2010, 10:24 PM

some stuff showed up for it today

JasonCzerak · 01-04-2010, 10:48 PM

So is this daily driver going to be whipping shities in next years first snowfall?

Awesome on doing it you self! The accomplishment feeling goes up a notch when you do.

hell no. This will be replacing the Lexus as the garage queen. I will try to keep it out of the rain too.

motor plans may have changed again. I want to go k-series if I can. We'll see. Depends on how quickly I want to get this running again. Going to try and drop the sub frame this weekend so I can get that to the powder-coater.

JasonCzerak · 01-05-2010, 01:22 AM

So, when you say "daily driver", it's a joke then. Gotchya.

Kaiyin · 01-05-2010, 02:34 AM

it will get driven a lot, run on regular 92, maybe e85, but I have the truck for snow and in-climate weather. This shell is very clean and I'm going to keep it that way.

JasonCzerak · 01-05-2010, 07:32 AM

I won't argue it here. But you're incorect to call it a daily.

Kaiyin · 01-05-2010, 04:28 PM

daily-driver is about as debatable as the term street-car.

Even if you wanted to, if you model it after the one civic you picuted I don't think you make it over a speed bump, never mind 1/2" of snow up a driveway

call it what it is, your race car, toy, civic. It's not going to be a daily driver. Street-cat, sure.

Has there been a debate thread on this topic here?
