funny you should say that cuz my trunk does leak pretty heavily...lol.

but yeah i'lll def. look into that venting issue this winter.

It's only gonna be seeing about another 2-3 weeks of road time then its getting garaged & the beast comes out.

the beast is a jeep, only a beast cuz its a v8 gas hog, and its loud as fawk w/ a borla muffler and dump pipe only retaining about half the piping the oem setup once had.

That's exactly it!

I had my drivers side fender repainted, then bondo'd and repainted, then had the sheetmetal cut and replaced (by the gas filler door and rear edge of the wheels well), and then it rusted again. I think the shitty work on behalf of the body shop was partially to blame, but by the end I knew I'd NEVER get rid of the rust without replacing the 1/4 panel.

VTECepidemic · 11-10-2007, 03:47 PM

Yeha and what a lot of body shops fail to do is clean the rust off the inside.

Its only a visual fix.

Which makes it all completely pointless anyways, cuz it just gonna eat through in a matter of time.

It all needs to be sanded down and rust preventative coatings sprayed all over.

That or like you said another replacement 1/4 panel.

g2_teg_ · 11-10-2007, 05:27 PM

i really like these preludes. i like this build!!!!

VTECepidemic · 11-10-2007, 08:43 PM

updates & newerish pics.

lots of lude shit...

B20b crv valve cover fits on a b20a lude head. Oh yeah, thats def. getting powdercoated and installed.

my old exhaust...

new thermal..

motorage..

rattle canned for temp. cuz they were peeling.

old pitted ass signals.

wet sanded..

spray cleared.

suspension off my old parts car above...bullshit coilovers & tokicos im swapping onto mine.

Intake manifold to swap onto mine.

converting my black panels to have power lock switches.

Some random projects im working on fiberglassing:

Console hideaway panel.

Dash pods:

& a door pod i made using a pillar pod from a B4 passat. Obviously still needs a bit of work.

let me know what you think.

lookin real good i wish i had a parts car

Hawkze_2.3 · 11-10-2007, 09:18 PM

Good stuff! Looks like you have lots of motivation

Kosei K1s = good choice

Are their any other B20 parts you can use? I have a B20 CRV and I have been looking into what parts work with it from Integras and such...makes you wonder what else will interchange as there's TONS of B-series stuff for Civics & Integras. I could make a badass CRV if I wanted too, haha.

Only the valve covers?

BlackCatt · 11-11-2007, 12:39 AM

Good to see the latest improvements, looks like your doing a bloody good job of it. Like the new exhaust system.

& yeah there isnt pretty much anything that is identicle from motor to motor. They pretty much just share the same code for the most part. and thats about it.

Completely diff. setup. Exhaust manifolds dont match up. I really doubt the cams would work either.

THe Intake manifold thats on it though, is from an LS B18. (integra motor obviously)

Wow, what a coincidence that the VCs switch out

Umm noo.

I've wanted these wheels for a while and they should be getting here tomarrow.

You get your own, or be jealous.

You can get them from tirerack.com for like 130 a pc. & i think its free shipping. I could be wrong though.

Thanks man. much appreciated.

Check out this video i just got done making.

CADster · 11-13-2007, 06:58 PM

did you ever pull the door trim and wiper bar off your old yellow bucket for me ?

and how well does the b202b valve cover fit ?
snug not leaking kind of fit, or the 'hey look! the bolts line up' kinda fit ??

id get a b20b valve cover just to see all the double takes people would do :D

Dude.. i was trying to remember who the hell asked me for them.

I must have deleted the pm by accident.

But if you hadnt seen on pp.com or here i think i posted that it got towed before i was done with it.

I went on a trip for the weekend a while back & when i came home, my fu_kin car was gone... im like wtf?????

then my pops comes out smiling. All i do is shake my head &

So i dont have the trim... but whats this wiper bar.?

is it the plastic peice under the windshield washer arms? Cuz i think i still have that, unless my dad threw it away along with half my other shit.

The valve cover... I dont have a gasket inbetween it so i cant really tell how snug. I mean it seats pretty well considering, but i dont wanna bolt it on and have oil spurting out all over the motor and into the spark plug ports.

I was gonna just pull my v/c off my car and swap this one onto it but i figured i'd rather paint it first.

but now that i think of it i shoul dtest fit it before i go through the trouble of cleaning it up.

& im def. going to put it on if it fits cuz im all about making ppl do a double take.

6spdrcr · 11-13-2007, 10:00 PM
