vtec2011 Posted May 11, 2014 Share Posted May 11, 2014 I love these D16Z6 engines. I got loads of D16Z6 engine parts and the plan was to fit it to my Civic... So you're not going for a full engine rebuild? New piston rings, valve stem seals and all the rest of it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marv Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Such an awesome build! Good to see a different engine being used apart from a b series, too work! Iv always liked te idea of doing a headlight loom wire tuck,did you have to extend many wires? Iv seen a guide for an ek civic where they didn't have to extend any, just re route them.

Krzys Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Properly epic work there Alex! Can you feel the difference with the Z6 plus goodies or haven't you driven her hard yet? Was stunning at the show, refusing to stay wet during the bad weather! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted May 12, 2014 Share Posted May 12, 2014 Absolutely stunning work chap, the bay is a one off and looks great. Massive kudos for doing all that in such a short time. The pressed rear plate is a great finishing touch too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chandler Posted May 12, 2014 Author Share Posted May 12, 2014 Thanks everyone ye was a lot of work to do in a short amount of time and very little sleep. Wire tucking the headlight wires wasn't too bad once you've stripped the wires from the engine loom. You just pull them allThrough the bulk head then then push them through the door hole. And along the wing then underneath the light. I had to extend the earthing wires and side light wires to go in with my USDM mod. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
