The Twin Honda Civic Hatchback Has Been Sold

Bart Piotrowski — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 23:02:05 +0000

As the title says my 2nd hatchback has been sold and part of the proceeds will go to my Turbo Build Fund. It was fun owning two hatchbacks at once but currently I don’t need the 2nd one so it was sold and now I can focus on picking up a D16Z6 1.6 VTEC block and start working on it. I estimate this to be a 6-8 month build just in time for next years drag races at mission and should perform quite good with my projected 250 to 300hp.

Bumper Swap Was a Success

Bart Piotrowski — Mon, 08 Sep 2008 07:39:12 +0000

The bumper and fender swap between the two Civic’s was a success, it was quite easy and only a few tools were needed. I pulled the bumpers and fenders off by myself but got some help from a friend to put them all back on. The reason for this swap was that my bumper and fender in my 93 Civic was all dented from rocks but the 95 Civic had a new painted bumper and a fender with only 1 ding. I will post pictures tomorrow as I didn’t get a chance to pull them off my camera yet. I also replaced the drivers side headlight on the 95 Civic because it had a hole in it and the inner reflective part was all rusting away. Check back tomorrow for some before and after pictures.

I got me an Apple iPhone

Bart Piotrowski — Tue, 29 Jul 2008 23:53:27 +0000

I got an iPhone last Thursday and I’m really pleased with it with all the features it has. The 3G Internet is really quick, 8GB of storage is plenty for applications, music and movies and since my 1993 Honda Civic doesn’t have GPS, this little gadget is perfect for knowing where you are while cruising around the city. I was never really keen on Apple products but this iPhone is one of a kind and I will recommend it to all my friends.

The camera works really well and would be perfect for car shows just in case I forgot my Sony Cybershot. Having this phone with me all the time is gonna be perfect now as I can take pictures of any cool looking EG Civic’s on the road and later post them on my blog.

IPhone GPS + Honda Civic = Better cruising around the city.

Transmission Removal Step 21 and 22

Bart Piotrowski — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 08:35:05 +0000

Step 21 - Support the tranny with an extra floor jack and then unbolt it.

Tools Needed: 17mm Deep Socket Wrench, Floor Jack, 2×4 Piece of wood.

Place a 2nd jack with a piece of 2×4 wood under the tranny. Then get your friend to grab a hold of the rope with some gloves. Once the tranny is supported you can start unbolting the lower front transmission mount using a 17mm socket wrench. Then Tell your friend to hold the rope tight and start unbolting the last 3 top engine mount bolts using a 17mm socket wrench.

Step 22 – Grab the tranny and wiggle it left and right to dislodge it of the engine.

Tools Needed: Gloves

Grab the tranny with your hands and start wiggling it left and right to dislodge it off the engine. Careful not to move the engine to much so it does not fall of the jack support. Once you get the tranny loose, hold it while your friend removes the 2nd jack out of the way and you can slowly lower it to the ground.
