Lifted Civic Update #11: TruHart Upper Arm Install & Front Lift Kit COMPLETE!

Our project lifted Civic looks like a squatted truck right now. That’s because we have FINALLY finished the front end lift kit thanks to this week’s sponsor, TruHart. They have provided us with a set of front upper arms, which work GREAT with our existing lift components. While they are intended for use with lowered cars, a lot of lifted Honda folks use them. The build quality on the arms are…

What To Expect: Gambler 500 Events

What To Expect: Gambler 500 Events

If you haven’t heard about the Gambler 500, you’re in for a treat. The original Gambler 500 started in Oregon back in 2014 as a large scale, trash cleanup effort in $500 cars. Since then, it has spawned variants across the US in multiple states. Most states now have some sort of Gambler 500 event at least once a year, meaning you most likely don’t have to travel too far for one. Having attended…

Lifted Civic Update #9: Shop Tour With Slightly Mangled!

This week, we are taking a step back to look at the Slightly Mangled Garage: As we await parts to begin our subframe drop, I decided to do a little behind the scenes over at the Slightly Mangled shop. The owner of the shop, Jake, is the mastermind behind anything mechanical on this build. He’s built some amazing cars of his own and I wanted to showcase them, as well as the shop itself. What…

Lifted Civic Update #6: DEEP Cleaning The Interior, Engine Bay + New Seats!

Lifted Civic Update #6: DEEP Cleaning The Interior, Engine Bay + New Seats!

Apparently, one cleaning was not enough for the interior… A few weeks have passed since our initial cleaning of our project off-road Civic. We noticed that the musty smell coming from the car had not gone away. Better, but still far from great. So, I pulled out the big toys from my arsenal of cleaning supplies. First, we doused the carpets again with concentrated Simple Green. Next, I used my…
