it's up and down in SoCal. This week it's been slightly chilly but nothing to bad. Better than Back home (New York) can't do it anymore 🤣
Welp I just hit up 1320. Finalized a purchase should be here in a few days. Still debating on the finish end of it. Mugen twin loop or the Spoon N1?? 🤔
Man they ship dogs in boxes now? Doesn’t seem humane.
There was holes... luckily it came from nor cal region so his trip wasnt long like homeward bound. lol
Heres a couple of close ups of the welds. Not to shabby
Im going to order the Password whale intake this weekend. Waiting to hear on prices for the exhaust and thats it. After some thinking im going to leave the engine and components alone. I was thinking of an all motor build but comparing cost and power, my best option would to be go boost. I can only go far on this b16. Yes i can rebuild the b16 but then were talking about downtime. But ill enjoy these parts in the meantime. I have a spare b18 block that i plan to use. Then ill rebuild and freshly start the head. So now im just going to focus on the aesthetics. I plan on using the ctr wheels with the ITR front and type s rear brake setup. I mounted a CTR wheel on just to see the look and due to the size of the Type s rear on the ctr wheels. I love how it fills most of the space. Reminds me of running a BBK on the Lexus. Yes i know, it wont directly bolt up in the rear and im well aware of what to do. lol.
In all honesty i have no idea where im going to go with this. In the meantime til then, I/H/E and just drive it adding aesthetics. Until i have a clear mind and where i want to go, i have no plans on building anything. The car has been in the garage for about a month now not driven since i been enjoying the 13.00 enterprise rental. At first i wanted to go all motor but then after looking at all modern cars at the 230+ range i felt less motivated with that setup. Then i thought boost but as you can see i bought a header lol. So right now before i start blowing more money on things i might end up changing later im going to fall back. If im going to shoot for power, i have the ls block in the garage i can build and do a boost setup, Use the b16 head, p/p and 5 angle it and mount it up. *shrug*, Ill update this soon. :/
New stuff... car is still sitting and I'm in the rental I have no plans to install anything until I get other pieces to the puzzle. I waited about a month now for a response from ips racing and never got a quote on the spoon n1. So I bought a vibrant for the time being because I know I'll be waiting some time for a eta cause I'm sure no one stocks that exhaust. So it looks like I'll be placing a order with password Jdm or jhp because I realllllyyy don't want to deal with password cause they take forever.
Thanks. Its getting there...
I picked up the axles yesterday, a protege axle nut, and a snicker bar.. I was hangry. I plan on repainting the rims. Still original but my concern is the caps because i need to see about replacing the honda logo. What my options are.
Took the civic out and decided to open her up after sitting in the garage and apparently she didnt like that much lol. I havent had the chance to check out the damage but it doesn't seem good. i got oil leaking. i noticed after about 110mph car backfired then i started losing power. cylinder four had some oil on the spark plug the others were fine. I plan on taking the motor and tranny out and do a full rebuild from the pan up to the cylinder. Sorry Grimace. But i guess it was in good timing because this saturday ill be dropping the car off for the RHD swap. Thank god. Itll be gone for about 4 weeks. (by choice) he could have it done within a week or so seeing i took apart the rhd assembly already shortening the work load. I may pull it out sooner. Still debating. Throw a B20b just to cruise in till i build the lsv-t setup. chyeaa! In the mean time ill start purchasing the front and rear lip. ohh yea. Shout out to AAA for having me at Victoria gardens for 4 hours waiting on a tow at chevron due to their network being down and not being able to get me a tow. Then literally ripping the lip on the car off and my car being at stock height. I see you guys going far!
tell me about it. I had no words as I saw him back into it and watching the bottom brace crush the **** out it to connect to the two front wheels and hop out and go "sounds like it locked in". I just hopped in my girls car like "I just wanna go home". I'm done with this day. Lol
RHD converted, engine and body wiring harness done, bay painted. 5 lug swap, ac recharged, rebuilt rhd rack and pinon, motor swapped, picking up running= 4200
picking it up on my birthday as a present to myself. Off to take the uhaul back and rest while the family is off at big bear. See you guys in a month.
Its the photo, then again my momo one looked a tad smaller. *shrugs*. everything fit though.

Yes should be by the end of this month. i owe maybe 600 if that to the 4200 tab, The goal was to pick it up in July on my birthday which i dropped it off about 2 months ago now i believe.... i gotta look at this time line. But that was the day i dropped it off. I been in a rental for about 3 months now and LOVING IT! i spend only 12.00 a day for a 2018 ford fusion hybrid se. Its lovely. hell i would drive it still after getting the civic back just because its so smooth and not modified, Think im getting old. I never thought i was consider or ever say ford fusion being smooth nor drive one with no cares in the world and a smile on my face,
Hauled assed in the em1 that had a high compression b20b and b16 transmission. Fun.
I come to the realization i dont want to build a motor. Particularly this one. My goal is to a have nice dd with ac. Ill be rebuilding the head on the b16 and slap it on the b20b and call it a day. Do some aesthetics while chipping to the side for something "modern" and that can keep up with the joneses to put in it. Im starting to miss my car and its exhaust smell coming from the shifter column because of the loose exhaust bolt.... lol. I had to go to enterprise today to update my contract. Turns out i have had it for 45 days and had to renew my contract. My bill was 982. However didn't have to pay it because they were charging me 44.00 a day when it was not supposed to be and so they ended up owing me a **** ton of money and just basically had to credit it back and the other i just implied to the rental.
Got some cool stuff for a car I don’t have. Got the rims painted championship white. I need to get Roma red paint and stencils for the center cap. Just waiting on that call the conversion is complete so I can drop off the motor and parts. Debating on tires atm. I’m thinkin yoko or toyo. I get a good deal on hankook and federals which are my other option as well. Just not sure yet.
