FINALLY started my build!!!

Just started tearing down patrick (the name of the da) to get rebuilt and turboed!
this is just what we did tonight we are probably going to do more tomorrow
by we i mean me and my gf (its her car)


Is this your first teardown and rebuild?

either way if this goes all the way I see many levels of rad in this.
First, so awesome its a boyfriend/girlfriend build (+1 awesomeness point)
2nd, this is the misses’ car? even cooler (+1 awesomeness point)
3rd, she named her car, something most of us do, but its probably the first car i’ve seen with a guys name! kudos to her not having a girl car like the rest of us. lol (+1 awesomeness point)

by my calculations you guys are up 3 awesomeness points. divide them accordingly amongst yourselves but I haven’t seen any other member with this many points that I can remember yet.

Good luck you two on the build and remember to keep up posted on the progress.

None of this “tear down and rebuild” nonsense… DETAILS!

Thanks! She says she gives you +1 awesomeness point for give us 3 lol

We are about to work on it more right now so more pics will be up tonight!!

Well it runs fine how it sits but we always wanted a show car because this an extra car we have (i have a 2013 cbr500r and she has a 2013 civic si coupe, both black) so i was gonna try to do a shave and tuck on the bay to clean it up and rebuild the motor for boost and make like 250-300whp and just keep it as close to stock as possible while adding a few touches :wink:

Well due to my financial situation im ditching boost and just rebuilding the motor with factory parts which i got soo cheap! Will post pics up later!

Here is some more pics havent worked on it in a few days but hes coming apart steadily.
I just ordered some oem piston rings so gonna be tearing out that motor here soon!



Update!!
got the interior mostly pulled and the motor ready to come out except everything got the passenger side harness pulled into the cab and am working on getting the drives side fender off (rusted bolt at the bottom holding me back) got the dash pulled and the ac box out since im not putting it back in all in all its starting to come apart pretty good.

Got a engine stand when i go to pull the motor

Its been a while since i have posted any updates but alot has happened the motor is out and apart ready for the machine shop and the carpet and harness is out. Gonna delete the abs and a/c stuff and cruise and the windshield sprayer stuff. i started shaving off unnessacary brackets and hangers in the bay and now i have to have some damage repaired in the left front where it was hit before. I will have some pics posted up later tonight when i get them uploaded.

Looks good man! I’m in a similar place with my build. Are you just planning to reroute the harness for the tuck or fab up a new one?

just take out some unessacary stuff and reroute and since the ac case isnt going back in the battery is probably going under the middle of the dash so i dont have to extend too many wires.

Right on. I look forward to seeing how you do it.

yea me too lol
