anyway
rota slip streams
b18 swap

well rounded stereo
many custom touches through out
that is what is to come
ARE YOU GUYS THINKING WHAT IM THINKING ??????
just think guys i was driving this car on saturday .......
I WAS DRIVING THIS CAR SAT MORNING its now waiting for the wrecker thursday night im really happy with my ability to operate a chop shop my friends helped out too though ....
and for kicks heres a night shot of my shiter ... she is kicking so hard these days the weather is nice and the exaust sounds great with the window down im driving around like speed racer ....
ok ..... so i cleaned the whole bottom end of the B18 and put in a type-R oil pump new main seal new oil gasket cleaned pick up ....
then removed cams cause unless this dick from ebay fails me i have stage 2 crane cams coming they are the best ones that are still safe for stock valve train i ported the exaust side of the motor heavily just worked around the valve stems a little and opened it up polished very well after ward
i am cleaning the crap outta everything i found out honda clear coats the type r blocks so i found high temp clear coat and did the front of my motor and the trans plus im doing the motor mounts that way corosion will be held at bay abit i hope .....
the interior is gutted no dash no carpet i am plugging the hole in the floor from the auto cable and puting in the stock metal for the 5 speed ..... plus i put in the 5 speed pedals NOTE !!!! DA pedals do not fit
i am coating the floor with a rubber driveway sealer it is much cheaper than anything from a store for a car i got 5 gallons for 12 bucks ... and i can patch my side walk when im done hahah
i got thin neoprene rubber which i am gonna mat on the floor for extra sound deadening i want this extra quiet i have found that the center tunnel is most likely the best place to attack if you want quiet there is just a tiny sheet of metal no sound protection at all the under coat is even thinner in the center tunnel
so all and all it is coming nicely i need the cams and some seals then ill order my clutch and flywheel ill need a pulley after that then the motor is ready to go in well the wiring is still needing done and some minor hose's and stuff
ohh i also scored some decent lowering shocks and coil over from an EK which need slight mod to fit
ok guys here is some more progress acompanied by pics ...
here is the manifold set up
here we have the 5 speed pedals
my shiny clean ass engine with high temp clear coat to fight corosion
here is my front cross member removed mount and did some painting and cleaning
FINALLY PROGRESS !!@!!!
OK ANY WAY GUYS I HAVE BEEN HARD AT WORK
i got enough dough to order some shit off ebay for the motor and i have got most of it together some minor details ....
for the record i have a Type R oil pump if you do this you will need a OBD2 lower timing cover assuming you use an older motor like me
something like a 97 crv, teg, um civic SI 99-00 or something like that i was so bummed when my cover didnt fit then i found out it was a simple design change
ok now for the good stuff i have put in two hard nights reasembleing the interior i have it whipped and i worked on my integra steering wheel and my integra center consule i see that someone did half of one in the interior i will do a write up on that in that section oh yes its a DA wheel and DC consule .....
the steering wheel needs taken apart and the horn ring from your old one can be used in therory this will work i dont have proof since my car has no battery .... but i am confident it will you need to glue it in place on the teg wheel and there is one tinytwire that it clips too pretty easy overall
note the gold ring on the right thats what i mean one wire comes from it and plugs in
ok now for the good part !
its looking like a car again ! and here is the wheel in place for kicks
now close your eyes and imagine it with a dorky wheel a ugly shit brown shifter and no clutch pedal get my drift ....
thats all for now boys this project is pissing me off i am getting it done soon i want my garage back cause my other wagon and my crx are gonna go under the knife next i think
SHIT MORE SWEET PROGRESS !!!!!
OK
so i bought a shit crank pulley off ebay
like 40 bucks shipped i didnt want to splurge on a CTR pulley andway for clearance and cause i hate uneeded shit and the fact that these cheapo pulleys come with AC and PS i did this at work today
and then today i focused on finishing the installation of my new intake manifold
so i cleaned the injectors and i am trying to make the OEM stuff fun to look at cause i dont need an upgraded fuel system on my simple build but i polished cleaned and painted every thing i could
ok thats all for now i am waiting for feeler gauges so i can do my valves then i can really put this sucker together
ok this is the one i had said has the bad motor used 5 quarts in 600 miles

:shock: :shock: :shock: WWwhhhooooo, baby. That is gonna pull hard. :twisted: :twisted:
oh, and it looks real pretty too 8)
Good stuff!
but i am on an insanely tight budget so i get done what money allows but this winter it is getting the suspension reworked big front brakes wheels i have some full polish crx SI wheels that i think will look very good but i wanna spring for some nice rollers
and ill finish the interior i wanna fix the tiny rust on the quarters and do some other stuff but here are a few out door pics
but any way i removed my wipers for good since i havent used them and ive been driving in bad rain anyway
which was followed by a detail job now i need to figure out a plug on the wiper delete on the engine bay
anyway be jealous this is crazy clean
:P :P :P
i am jealous :oops:
remove the injector resitorbox out of the enginebay, too..put it behind the left fender...
looks like this then..
keep it up...
What'sup w/the intake manifold.Trying to make it look OEM?
then get a nice intake this car just needs to keep me trucking for about 3 weeks then i can bring her in for the winter and go into phase 2 of mods. assumeing im not flat broke
i am preping integra front knukles and i am doing full coilovers and front and rear camber adjustment my one tierod is shot so i wanna rebuild the front end and im gonna go with aluminum lower controll arms in the rear cause they are sexy lookin and they just keep getting cheaper ill do the rear drums prolley while im at it and it needs an exaust
i have been toying with many ideas on what to do with the motor cause its
fun but it just doesnt have enough oommmph maybe LS vtec but then to fully realize the power i need to bump the compression and i need some engine managment
but i dunno im not a rich guy by any means so i am happy to have a nice running driving car im leary to mess with anything
im trying to keep myself from the drivetrain though cause it is just plain hapy and not worth messing with i have a few options on the wheels but thats another big time money thing and i wanted to get my rear seats reupolstered and the door panels
its just sad though people make such a big deal out of things and it all boils down to money making a car nice is not even a skill ... its an expense as far as im concerned
hahah i need a sponsor
same here
so i have a nice wagon that runs ok with a LS
what else can i do ???
hmmmm
sell the motor and tuck and shave the engine bay to utter perfection and build a 200 horse LS vtec and make this the cleanest sleeper ever ??? !!!
yep sounds good
motoir is gone wires are cut engine bay is getting played with as we speak pictures soon to come
complete master cylinder tuck and converting to hydrolic clutch im using a reverse hung wilwood or tilton pedal assembly more to come on that
head light wiring tucked back into cabin then into the fender this is what it looks like mid progress now this evening i have both sides done re wrapped and mounted
im removeing all heater components cause frankly i can hahahah plus it saved alot of weight and made space for wierd shit that wont be in my engine bay and i can make a neat delete panel on my dash hahaha
two shots of all the brackets that were removed from the engine bay i plan on filling every hole with weld and patch panels the some seam welding and comepletely doing a exterior quality paint job on the whole bay
i am looking to achive something of this caliber when finished minus turbo and master cylinder of course
