VTISmichael Posted May 7, 2016 Author Share Posted May 7, 2016 Oh dropped my wheels into a company called Stemax in reading, small firm but they had rolls royce parts, ferrari head and various old car blocks and heads. Getting the centre bored out from 57mm to 59.1mm, id do it myself but my place doesnt have a big enough lathe to do it and all the mills are so busy.

VTISmichael Posted May 15, 2016 Author Share Posted May 15, 2016 Modded the ally tops of the rear coilovers for a better fit, also took off the front coilovers to take to work, going to slot out the bolt holes so i can have more cambers adjustment, just reading up on K11 front suspension conversion, means K11 hubs and brakes & anti roll bar, quite a bit of modifing needed but apprantly handles & brakes better. Im still tempted to mod the original and keep it K10. Some quick fitment pics, they dont poke as much as i thought, got the shapes of the wings in my head now, will try to borrow the plasma cutter soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VTISmichael Posted May 17, 2016 Author Share Posted May 17, 2016 Took the front coilovers off and slotted the top hole for more camber adjustment on monday, now im sourcing some polyurenthene rod/bar to polybush all the suspension, should be good soon. I did see alot of civic's at japday on track, i know alot of cars particularly honda's have double wishbone suspension makes me think im doing up the wrong car for a track drive, once i get it on track ill find out how gd/bad it is and maybe sell and get something a bit more capable dunno have to wait and see!
