ls-v*2

In the spring sometime i picked up a 92 gsr shell with b18a swap for 700, put it all together and got it running assuming i could sell for a profit. My plans for my car/s has changed and i really dont want another integra(this is my third) and what i really wanted to do was get a ef civic or crx to make into a track/race car. then i remembered this dumb local kid who had this car and i figured id work out a deal.

These pics arnt current, ill get recent ones and more detailed tomarrow.


the car had been sitting in my friends back yard for almost two years while he went off to college, then it was traded to its last owner. never really having run at all in between. car was painted along time ago, im guessing like 2004.


Plans: The high compression Ls/vtec out of my dc integra will be going into this car, the motor needs a rebuild first so im going to get body work while thats being done. The rust is pretty substantial, the whole rocker panel...well there is no rocker panels anymore. and the driver side has a nice hole. I will be ordering new panels from rustrepair.com for about 200$ total for both rockers and qp's. Got a quote today from a local body shop and the guy said he would weld them in for something like 250 dollers, i couldnt believe how cheap that was...they do decent work too, my friend had work done there before. planning to leave the army theme for awhile.


Puttin these seats in out of the teg


i apologize for being so random but ill work on this more tomorrow when the car is sitting in my driveway

random junk for the build:

Nice ride and I like that army theme I thought it looks cool in the first pic. How low is it? And good luck on the build

ls-v*2

i dont know exactly how low it was but it was hardly drivable, it had cut megan lowering springs, it has some cheap *** coilovers now. just for kicks heres the actual slide squad hatch

bigluelok

It looks sick as hell but I don't like the x'd out lights .

ls-v*2

yeah its not X'd out anymore... i really dont think that would help me see at night very well....

bigluelok

so what are you going to do to the ef as of now or ar u witing for your motor to be done b4 you start

any plans for the 1/4 panel rust?

ls-v*2

im getting the quarters replaced with all new sheet metal. my plans are to get the shitty d15 put back in and drivable so i have something while the ls-v undergoes surgery.

the Run down on the motor is this:
Engine:
B18b bottom end bored 81.5
Pr3 pistons (11.7:1)
Ls rods shot peened

B18c gsr obd1 head
AEM adjustable cam gears
skunk2 Intake manifold

JDM Sir-g tranny with factory limited slip

Thats current set up, i have these parts waiting for installation:
Blox competition type b cams
Blox titanium retainers
Blox Valve springs
Ebay Type-R style header 1 piece 2.5 inch outlet

I will be getting a thicker head gasket in order to lower the compression a bit.
Also i have some Eagle rods, i dont know if i should put those in or not simply because the pistons are just stock honda, what do u you guys think

just got it home today, im really wondering what i should do about the mangled pinch weld areas...no ones really going to see them but i dont want them rotting away. anyone got any ideas? the interior is pretty decent aside from being no seats yet. i got a sub and an amp with the deal, sweet

bigluelok

Well I think you should just use the ls rods since they r shot peened. And it should hold unless you plan going boost

ls-v*2

i donno i might spray a small amount of nitrous like a 35 shot, simply because i have the kit lying around...

I did a little work today, cleaned the engine bay and started to paint with a rattle can...

I have B series mounts from my old crx, do i need a new tranny mount for the hydro tranny?

bigluelok

if your going from cable to hydro i think you do need a new one

Rease3

how did u get those teg seats in your car...my friend tried and it didnt work?

ls-v*2

gotta drill some holes, probably could swap the seat pans....i cant though because i let the guy keep seats that were in it.
