    You get a big like from me for two things people never seem to do when going this far into a civic build, welding in the antenna hole, and removing the front bumper license holes. Well done!

    • @AutoTechNick
      @AutoTechNick  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@luisdiaz9142 Good question. First I used some screen on the backside to help reinforce the openings of the bumper. Next I used a plastic welder (basically a soldering iron) to heat the screen and melt it into the bumper. I built reinforcements pieces that were much larger than the holes from pieces taken from an old bumper and glued them on the on the back side with a special bumper repair epoxy, covering the screens and extending past them to the bumper surface. On the front side I shave down the high pieces. Then for the holes I beveled them out, and filled them with the same bumper repair epoxy. After that the final body work was done with a filler that was made for bumpers, as it will flex with the bumper and not crack...
      I admittedly went overkill on how I chose to shave them, but I wanted to take every measure possible to ensure that the repair would never show through the paint.

      @@AutoTechNick to some it may seem like overkill but i say do it right the first time instead of having to do it over and over again. Im in the process of sanding down my ej hatch and respraying it so i was contemplating on how to shave/delete some areas as well. Thanks for the reply!

    absolutely brilliant. legendary.
    what a thorough build and what attention to detail.
    the best thing is that it looks almost stock outside and inside.
    practically a true type R of the 5th civic generation straight out of a time machine.
    it's been 30 years since they were first made. the nostalgia is killing me

      Thanks. I am pretty surprised by everyone’s reactions to the video and the build in general. I thought I was nuts for putting that much work and detail into a Civic.. esp considering that when I built it I attempted to stay away from the popular trends at the time. I wanted this car to stay timeless.

    It turned out really nice, even if silver isn't my preferred color for these cars. I probably would have gone for something crazier like Mazda's Soul Red Crystal or something if I was already sinking that much money into the restoration. But that's a subjective matter anyway. It looks great and I'm sure the new engine makes for quite the fun drive.

      @AutoTechNick  2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      @@StVTakumi My total investment is is very hard to put into a black and white number. I will tell you that it wasn't very much at all, for several reasons.
      1. I performed all of the labor myself
      2. At the time I had a side business, so I was able to buy my parts at wholesale pricing.
      3. I had a 95 EX Coupe that was intended to be my daily. 3 weeks into ownership of that car and I was hit head on by a drunk driver. I bough the coupe back from insurance. I took what I wanted for the build, and I sold every part off that car to fund this build.
      4. I replaced the EX could with a Integra LS. Well long story short, I took the good suspension, knuckles and entire B series out of that car, and installed the drivetrain from the DX.. So I was rocking a D15 and drum brakes on the Integera....
      I will say that I was very pleased with how low I was able to keep the total spent on the car. I do not think that I would not be able to build a car to that level again on such an incredibly low investment.

      It just takes time and practice. Once you know the theory, it is not terribly difficult. To get really good results is takes a tremendous amount of attention to detail and patients within the process. There are plenty of resources out there that show and teach you how to learn these skills. I would read up, watch videos and start practicing. That's the only way to learn!

    • @AutoTechNick
      @AutoTechNick  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you! The ride comfort was firm, but not bothersome. It was not overly stiff and still had some compliance, but it was certainly firm. As for the sound deadening, I installed it on the roof, inside the doors, and also on the inside of the rear quarter panels. WIth the added sound deadening, and Vibrant Stealth muffler and extra resonator, the car was OEM stock quiet when cruising. When WOT it was much louder, but nothing that was excessive or would draw unwanted attention, which is exactly what I wanted to achieve.

    That's a beauty, but with all that, how did you not spray in the interior? Same as Honda, no clear or anything, just a scuff and dust in some color. It was all apart already, I fully expected that to happen.
    Gorgeous car, though... I'd love to add a ferio to the garage.

    • @AutoTechNick
      @AutoTechNick  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you. I get asked often why I did not paint the inside of the car. It comes down to cost vs benefit. I would have had to endure the cost of materials (automotive paint is NOT cheap!!) and also the added time and labor to paint the inside. In the end I would have had no benefit from doing this other than the build photos of the car would have looked better. lol. Since I ran a full interior I was very thoughtful on what was, and was not painted to ensure that all the red was covered up. I couldn't justify the added time and expense on painting it when it would have had no effect on the final product.

    • @bgee461

      @@AutoTechNick no, that's fair, automotive paint surely isn't cheap. Not sure if that's a metallic or a pearl, cuz ufffff pearls are expensive!! I only ask because it's one of the main reasons I don't do color changes on my cars; it would drive me mental to know my car is a different color under the dash or behind the door skins. Thanks for taking the time to answer, and congrats on a beautiful completed build 👍 too many projects go unfinished.
