Who has made custom parts for their car?
 

hey guys im just interested to see who really do some home made mods. Iv made a strut bar for 92-95 honda civic, a short shifter... no i didnot just cut a peice of the top off, I did that and added a peice down below. Im wondering what to build next any ideas would br great thanks

I have done a bunch for my old civics, The list begins at solid motor mounts to swap B16, Numerous aluminum cold air intakes out of mandral bent aluminum pipe, cat back exhausts, short shifter like you said add to the bottom, Actually just messing around I modified a zx9 can to fit my civic, shortened it and a repacked it, sounded like a dirt bike! haha

Last

I 've made a bunch of stuff For Myself and friends.

I can only fabricate at the shop though. I don't have my own pipe bender, welders, Torches, ect.

iv got an exam comming up on monday any ideas what i can build i have a week to build it?

battery tie down

radiator hold downs ( brackets at the top holding rad to rad support if your car has them).

Strut tower brace

lower tie bar

heat sheild for master cylinder

heat sheild for exhaust manifold

vacuum manifold

catch can

fuel rail




These are all fairly each and i would use aluminum because it seems to be easier to work this in all these cases. I don;t know how technical you want to get, but atleast theres a few ideas for you.

thanks man i tryed to do a catch can but i got a batch of aluminum that was crap it just wouldint start welding it coroded away. A fule rail sound intresting though

i made a custom body kit out of cardboard:lol_hitti :retard:
it looks something like this......

hhaha good one RZ!


Yeah well good luck with your project phillet! Post pictures of it completed and how you went about doing it. I think it would be intersting to see !

Turbo back exhaust systems, various intercooler piping setups, a catch can, rear strut tower bar, misc. braces/brackets, T4 spacers, misc. flanges/block off plates, motor mounts, air intakes, engine wire harness, fibre glass/bondo work, all kinds of small I can't even think of over the past 3 years or so.

Damn old japanese cars, parts are rare or eleventy billion dollars, or are . Solution, make your own.

amen

Check the settings on your welder.


Why buy parts when you can make them. I'd never buy a Heat sheild when I could bend, drill and weld one up in a few min.

sorry dam things

Thanks i will post pics of projects iv done an my exam.
