Orange civic back under the knife

My buddy from UPS showed up friday with a few items

 

13x8 weld magnums for front. I will be using a MT 24.5x9.5 slick

15x3.5 skinnies for the back

Also got my NLR boost controller. A lot of wiring and setting up but this is going to help my et's a quite a bit once I get it dialed in. Plus when traveling from track to track being different I can compensate very easily for wheel spin off this unit.

by the time I did the parachute mount i didn't want to clutter the back up any more with a cell and it would've been a pain to get fuel in. This fuel cell holds 5.1 gallons and still uses the stock filler.

I spent 20 straight hours working on it Tuesday through wedneday getting the cage and bay ready for paint. Also fit up the window net and welded all The brackets on. Should have paint on everything and interior all back in the car by Sunday

Just depends what you define as street legal. Do I drive it on the streets yes. If I got pulled over would it pass an inspection no. It won't be driven but two or three times on the street in a year probably. I still enjoy going to car shows so will drive it to the local ones and if ther is one I really want to go to farther away I will trailer it.

Here are some pics of what I got done at my place over the weekend. I have limited time to work on it since I'm working to get a couple other cars done for import alliance as well but I squeezed some in I really want to get this thing back out on the track.

 

Fixed a few spots on the bay and shaved a couple more holes that I didn't need anymore. Finished the cage and painted it. Don't worry about the white on the sides and roof all the interior panels go back in so didn't waste the paint when I did the car before. What a pain to do the cage with the windows still in.

thanks Andy. It was a long weekend getting it ready. Had to come home and spend some time with Cassie but I brought a box with all the stuff to put my gauges in my cluster and wire them up :p Do you know if John is going Sunday to the Buschur shootout?

Got my straightcut gearset in today waiting on diff bolts and a new interlock assembly to put it together hopefully tomorrow if not this weekend. As soon as the tranny gets assembled and bolted up to the motor it's all ready to go back in. Should have on the dyno early to mid next week and we will be out friday night at NTR to do some low low boost passes.
