Here are the pics of my 2000 SiR (B16A2) during the past 2 weeks undergoing it's rally-car transformation:

First up, the new fogs:

The old, busted oem fogs




The new fogs and naca-ducts. Fogs are 100watt spot-lights and were on sale for $15 at Princess auto!


Modding the bumper to make the ducts fit








The finished front bumper with new fogs:






Now comes the suspension work:

The ITR springs and dampers I ended up not using.




Pre-loaded eibach sportline spring with height collar at max height. This is one of the rear struts shown



And the front, set a bit lower then the rear for an even level stance


And here is the new ride height and stance:




Enjoy!

Would like to hear your thoughts/opinions. Good or bad!

Thanks for looking.

 

The stance is growing on me, i must admit. That car would be uber fun to take off road tho. but then again, you do that every night when you head home form work HAHAHA!

 

Looks awesome, hows the ride?

Also need these mud flaps

 

Looking good. Do you have the ducts directed to cool a specific part or just force air in behind the bumper?

 

I believe those ducts are supposed to cool down your breaks a little.
just need more piping to feed it directly to the caliper

 

Forgot to mention about the ducts. The one on the passenger side will be routed to a custom airbox for the short-ram intake, which I'll be making next. The other side, I'm not sure yet.

Thanks for the nice comments.

I was seriously expecting to get ripped on...lol.

The car rides awesome. The springs are giving a higher/stiffer rate now. It actually rides smoother because it's not so close to the bump-stops anymore. haha. Body roll is about the same. I think there's some tri-pod action under hard-cornering, but thats to be expected.

It's nice to be able to blow over speed bumps and rail-way tracks without bouncing off the road or scraping the exhaust! Will be much more driveable in the winter too.

 

lol Fack, I can't see imageshack and photobucket at work. It sounds kinda cool MPR lol.

 

Boo-urns!

 

^Nice flaps!

 

That is an awesome Idea never thought anyone would do this with that type of civic you usually get people to slam their cars, your gonna go off-roading that is just awesome man looking forward to seeing this project as you continue to work on it

 

Great job man, I like it. I agree you need get a set of those mudflaps

 

Where can one find these kinds of ducts?

 

I got em from CSC in Newmarket. They sell all kinds of racing equipment and components. They build full tube-chassis and cages in their back shop.

 

The shop on harry walker there?

 

I just got to check the pics, it looks sick dude.

 

awesome project!
your going to turn some heads at the rally events..

 

Yep.

Thanks.

Won't actually be racing it in rally events. It's mainly to make the car more practical for the type of driving I do and the conditions I drive in. And to be different.
