It's an EP3 master brake cylinder.

true, not sure on the booster though, could also be from a stream or something.

made the hoses to the reservoir a bit longer and customized the bracket to bold it to the strut.

needed the space because my previous setup hit the strutbrace.

DAMN, the old pics are not loading for me... oh well, at least i get to enjoy the newwwwww '08 EG Hatch reissue... seeeehhhrrrr schön!!

@Wiring on page 2:
sooo... what is all that wiring that you "don't need" it sure looks important to someone with no clue? Nice job on clean wiring look btw!

@your interior:
Damn that is so sweet. All I wished for when i had my hatch was that beautiful and functional interior. I know you're going for full OEM, but i have to say if it was my car i'd put some upholstery on the rear armrests to finish it out.

@page 5:

that is quite possibly the nicest garage door i have ever seen. :hehe:

@page 8, your shifter:
Is that cable or hydraulic? What does the valve do? less brake? Anyhow, the only cable shift car i've driven is my bro's MR2, and i have to say i enjoyed it!!

@your K20:
What do you mean by "power intake manifold"? Sounds like what i would call it when i implement my plan to add 1 PSI to my D16z6 via an electric fan shoved in a K&N :lol: Seriously though, very nice...

@page 10:

Gotta love the Dutch... they just dropped K20 power in a EG, but they rode their bikes to the garage to do it :thumb:

Overall, Incredible. I wish i could be there to see this thing come together in person, but i have to thank you for the great job you've been doing of putting up pics for us! Keep it up!

some server clean up, so some pics may not work anymore.

most is abs wiring, dont need that anymore, abs is removed. and some misc wiring that is removed or relocated.

interior is oem civic eg6, vti model. rear seats will probalbly be put back, not decided yet.

shift is cable, clutch is hydraulic. valva near the gearchanger is valve to adjust brake pressure to the rear brakes. the oem prop valve is removed so now i can manually adjust brake balance.

r-crew has developed an intake upgrade that increase intakeplenum volume. should gain about 5 horsepower......looks neat though :D

Gotta love the Dutch... they just dropped K20 power in a EG, but they rode their bikes to the garage to do it


aah well, garage is also to store some things...... 8)

thanks for the compliments!

btw, credits for the pics go to my friends nick and dennis, they take all pics and upload them.

credits for the build.....my good friend randall from hontec.nl. he provides me the space to work, VERY good help with the build and food, drinks, smokes, shelter when we are working on the car in his garage.... :thumb:
