Smitty_Works Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 Lets get right into this shall we. Been building Honda's for 14yrs, but this is my 1st Aerodeck build. Its going to be slow and more of a mini-build. As some may know I am the newbie who just bought their 1st MC3 2.0i TD Aerodeck. Always wanted one so I made the purchase for 999EUR.Not a bad deal as the car has no significant body damage, or other REAL issues. Nothing that my experience as a Honda head cant handle. Heres what I plan to do: Lower the carFreshen up any worn out or damaged suspension partsClean up the brake systemAdd a rear sway barnew rims and tires ( not too sure if I want a 15in or 16in tire/rim combo)New radioSeat bracket/sliders for my Recaro seats And basically fix what I deem needs to be fixed. As I stated its going to be low cause I want to get it right the 1st time. Plus I am building up my Civic Ferio K series as well. That's a whole nother beast too. So stay tuned cause its going to get started really soon!!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty_Works Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 One of the 1st things I did was clean the car. Sorry there are not that many pictures of this process, but you get the idea. I used a mixture of Wool lite dark, Ariel laundry soap, water, and a steam cleaner to clean up the seats and carpet. Pulled the seats out OMG!!!!!! I am sooooo rich!!! 1 Free Euro. So In reality I only paid 998EUR for the car. Score for me. I still needed to get this to pass inspection so I knocked out the brake rotors and pads. And man let me tell, I am glad I did. Theses things would make a baby cry just by looking at them, but I guess this is normal for European salt roads. All done. Even though they grip sooo much better I am contemplating upgrading to a bigger rotor and caliper. That's all for now. I have a OEM VTi VSM front lip on the way. Should be here soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 Another one for never having seen one ! Will watch with interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smitty_Works Posted June 7, 2014 Author Share Posted June 7, 2014 Good start!Also I like 17s on aerodecks I have never dealt with anything bigger than 16in, but I guess on a wagon it would look nice. Maybe something in the 215/45/17 range. I dunno. I have a boat load of 15in rims in my garage that I am getting ready to re-finish, and I cant let them go to waste Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roj Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 They're so rare that this section of the forum doesn't mention them. Honda Civic MA8 MA9 MB1 MB2 MB3 MB4 MB6 MB7 MB8 MB9 MC1 MC2 projects Think it needs to be amended now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIKH25 Posted June 7, 2014 Share Posted June 7, 2014 +1 for never seeing one of these before, nice plans. 17s do look good on a deck but if you are planning fairly decent lows (30mm or more) they will need quite a bit of work. 16s are perfect with lows.
