Default Paul's 98 Ek3 civic B16b build from Ireland!

Have had this over a year now and got bored of the d15 so decided on a b16b swap.

Few pics of the car:







The b16b:



jap style axle back:



standard ctr manifold, cat, catback:





ITR clutch and flywheel:



S4C ctr box:



top fuel carbon induction kit:



Right so it was then time to say good bye to the d15b:






























Stuck on the new exhasut, fits perfect just need to modify the hanger for the axle back, will do till i get a nice cat back!







Engine is almost ready to go in, clutch and flywheel are on just waiting on the release bearing before the box can be bolted on







engine ready to go in with box and loom connected:





engine in and mounted, also fitted top fuel induction kit:





fitted the axleback:



and a little clip of it running first time :mrgreen:

YouTube - Ek3 b16b

picked up a password jdm tow hook and a new rocker cover





fitted the rocker cover







also came up with a cool idea for the plug cover but dont know if it can be done in an anodised colour or anythin similar just thought would look class...



picked up a rear tow hook aswel:







HKS Silent Hi-power, two of the bends are flattend but got that sorted and fitted the exhaust im very happy with it, noticable difference and looks sweet

thats all for now have plenty more plans so keep an eye out for more updates



also got a rear disc conversion and grooved discs, braided brake lines not much more done heres how shes standing at the moment



Let me know what you think? :mrgreen:

not sure as i did not see it...but if it was just pictures, it would not belong in this section.

You can post a build here if it is full of tech information that can help educate others in what the car is a about and what you can do with it

^ Yep, otherwise there's a section dedicated solely to Appearance and Builds, which is I think where this belongs. Newbie mistake (tsk) but don't do it again. It's better for everyone to have posts in the correct sections.

Nice car, but I'd hit the carwash and clean that engine up a bit.

Good until you did the USDM JDM rice, i.e. add lots of anodized purple.
