Editor’s Note:
This article is based on Artur’s YouTube video, documenting the modification process of a 1994 Honda Civic Coupe build. The video highlights the installation of maXpeedingrods aftermarket suspension and turbo-related components, including control arms and intercooler piping components, as part of this budget modification project. Check out the full video to see the complete installation process and build progress.
Project Goals and Setup
Building a project car is often a gradual process, with each modification carefully selected based on the vehicle’s condition, intended use, and overall build direction.
In this episode, Artur continues upgrading his 1994 Honda Civic Coupe with a focus on two key areas: suspension components and turbo system supporting parts. For the chassis upgrade, maXpeedingrods adjustable control arms are installed to provide additional adjustment flexibility during the suspension setup process. The turbo system also receives updated components, including aluminum intercooler piping, which is integrated into the vehicle’s custom configuration.
Together, these upgrades represent another step in developing this personalized Honda Civic Coupe build.
Step-by-Step Installation
Installing Adjustable Control Arms
The suspension upgrade begins with the replacement of the original control arms.
As important suspension components connecting the chassis and wheel assembly, control arms play a key role in maintaining the suspension setup. For modified vehicles, adjustable control arms offer additional flexibility when fine-tuning suspension settings and preparing the vehicle for alignment.
During the installation, Artur removes the existing components before fitting the new control arms onto the Honda Civic Coupe.
After installation, the suspension components are checked as part of the setup process. Proper alignment remains an important step after suspension modifications to ensure the components are adjusted correctly according to the vehicle configuration.
Installing the Intercooler Piping Setup
Alongside the suspension work, Artur also updates the turbo system configuration with new intercooler components.
The installation focuses on fitting the aluminum intercooler piping and adjusting the layout within the front section of the vehicle.
During a custom turbo build, piping arrangement requires consideration of available space, mounting locations, and component positioning. The video shows the process of integrating the intercooler piping into the Civic Coupe’s existing setup.
This type of component selection and installation is a common part of building a customized turbocharged vehicle, where each part needs to work together within the overall configuration.
Completing Another Stage of the Civic Transformation
After the control arm and intercooler upgrades, the 1994 Honda Civic Coupe moves into the next stage of its budget build, with additional refinements continuing as part of the overall modification process.
This build demonstrates how an older vehicle platform can be gradually developed through carefully selected aftermarket components. From suspension upgrades to turbo system supporting parts, each modification contributes to creating a personalized setup based on the owner’s goals.
The maXpeedingrods Adjustable Control Arms and Intercooler Piping Components featured in this build provide aftermarket options for enthusiasts working on classic vehicles and customized modification projects.
