Lol very excited to put them on.
Agreeed!
Could be that its a gutless high revving 1.6L with a super long final drive although I notice VTEC is being weak most of the time. I think my LMAs are getting very worn and not all lobes are engaging. Just doesn't crack like it used to.

I was thinking of doing a b16 swap in the near future...do you recommend it?

GlassHeadlights

Yes. Good on gas, fun powerband (never stops pulling), sounds nice too. Cons: gutless as fack but ive never felt a B16 with proper gearing, I bet it helps a lot.

I'm reading up on LS/VTEC swaps so I can do mine right. I would recommend 1.8 VTEC over a B16 any day.

i've ridden in an ef with a b16 with the proper b16 trans, with i/h/janky exhaust, cam gears and maybe cams... pulled hard, but definatly lacked the torque an ls/v will give you

bk7794

yeah, I am not looking for a racer...just something that is fun to drive on the weekends and good to commute with. Was looking at a mini me swap..

GlassHeadlights

Can't replace torque.
Torque = *** dyno happy. My LS was probably more fun than this B16, not for flat out racing but for little braps.


Did a 10w30 Mobil 1 oil change right before that video, it doesn't seem to burn oil 6k+ anymore. Cost $116 for 2 jugs though.


Today I got ready for the new tires: Stock EF Si knuckles = 1" lower than my Integra knuckles.



Took dust rings out to fit B axles.



Fresher LCA's.



BJ's.





Current tires.



Last wheel came in.




My car feels great. Tracks straighter, it doesn't have a dead spot, I notice a lot less camber and feel more tire on the road, it doesn't oversteer on hard corners and snap back - very stoked on that. I actually got the rear end to break out on a tight corner and keep it pretty controlled, that means the front sticks harder I guess. The stock brakes from the donor car SUCK. The passenger caliper is a little bit seized on the pins so the car dives on braking. While under the car I noticed huge slop in the intermediate shaft and it makes noises. Little **** but I just want the tires on.

New tires rock!!! logged 300 kms on them, they seem broken in. I've never felt this car handle so awesome esp with the new front end aswell.

hondacrx6

clean rex yoo!!!!

floww

yeahh love reading up on this,

joker4096

Maybe i missed it, but did you buy a new front end?

GlassHeadlights

^^Thanks guys!


Front knuckles, ball joints, tie rods, LCAs all fresh. Not new but the best parts that I've taken off donor Civics over the last few years except brakes, they need major work.

Boy you got majorly raped on that..

Head to Walmart and pick up their Tech2000 full synthetic - it's rebranded Castrol Syntec. Save your self major dollarinos..

I've been running for years, 10k oil changes, great stuff..

GlassHeadlights

Wow sounds descent! I always laugh when I see wal mart oil.

GlassHeadlights

Damn, I either installed a bad tie rod or the inner is mang'd. Trial and error..

Welded on muffler instead of a couple tacks so its sealed now. Sounds completely different; clean and not tinny anymore. I must make new sound clip...I get to hit more VTEC...FTW!

New LMA's for the head are coming next pay then saving for a California road trip at the end of summer!

GlassHeadlights

lol

explicite86

If your heading down to Southen California hit me up and we can run our crx's heads up and see who's the better man. Haha. Or we could just check out eachothers rides in person and enjoy the fact that both of our rides have been "Built not Bought"

*Update on mine, not like anyone follows or cares about my piece,, but i just installed my CTR cams. When i get the money i am going to get it tuned. Two maps; one for regular fuel, one for 100 octane that i can buy at a local pump. Cant wait!

sanchoem1

What route are you taking, and how far down into Cali? I'd be down to show you some awesome driving roads in Nor Cal if it's not out of your way.

GlassHeadlights

Haha with a short geared trans and cams you will destroy me! I'm trying to get it tuned right now cause its running weak as is.
I still have to save a butt load of money but I should make the deadline. We have no idea on route yet, we need some sort of game plan but its going to basically be a go with the flow trip. Taking the Wash/Oregon/Cali coast down to San Diego then come back up another way? I don't know. Suggestions on route?

sanchoem1

The coast is great. The way back can be done a few different ways. You could blast up 5 or find other routes depends on the amount of time you have. Whatever you do, you will enjoy!

GlassHeadlights

I've done Sacramento to Reno, that was dope. Wait. We should go through Vegas on the way back been there a few times too.

scratched up lip...bullethole on passenger door..rusting driver side quarter panel..yellow and white rims?

sorry bro not feelin it.

GlassHeadlights

If you would notice Im working on the motor and suspension work before looks. I know there's still a clean shell there but looks are way down the list dude. To be honest I love ripping by people in a **** box and thing is just sreaming.

Post a pic of your car, I'm curious now.

sanchoem1

His car WAS pretty damn clean at one point.

Who's that from the jdm mob btw? Grant Demji by chance?

GlassHeadlights

I have been looking a into replacement weld in quarter panel and keeping an eye out for a door and fender for the future.

I broke through the first stage (of three) wear bar on my front tires! Rears are still new but dayum I need someone to align this thang now.

Loring_L_Jr.
