MODERATORS, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MOVE THIS TO THE "Appearance Build Threads" SECTION. THANKS


Hey, my name is Alex and I am a hondaholic. I have a CRX that has not been finished all the way and I just picked up a DC... just wanted to see if it belonged to anyone here, and I will keep you posted on the build.

Future plans involve an LS/VTEC, upgraded brakes, and upgraded suspension. I might go with a JDM front but have not decided yet..

Post build information to keep this alive.

 

Belarus represent lol

 

I definitely will, I just picked this up today.


I have an LS/VTEC sitting around that need some work. I will be posting some info on the rebuild as the progress grows.

Here is one questions I cant answer: How do the OEM wrist pins come out of the rods/pistons? I have not searched a lot but maybe someone can point it out.

 

The piston pins must be pressed in\out with a hydraulic press, piston pin driver, and piston pin base

 

how much did you pick this up for if you dont mind me asking?!

 

thats a great start atleast its not wrecked

 

someone jacked that cars poor B18c1

 

Just ordered something for the car

Nothing too special but I like it.

I also picked up some S2K AP2 Seats. They are straight black leather. My friend had some leather door panels, so I jacked him ..

I will be modifying the rails to fit the DC chassis, I will take some pics. I checked it out and it should be fairly easy.

Now before the thread gets locked lets get technical







These are pics of ARIAS pistons. I dont know if you can see the number stamped on it but I cant seem to find any info on them. Im trying to find what compression they are and what size they are. I am assuming they are about 83mm. Can anyone find any info on them?

Also I dont know if you guys can see the lines on the piston skirts. Will that affect my engine in any negative way?

Where can I order the piston pin driver and base so I can remove the stock wrist pins on those?

 

pm'd

I did! Good luck with the build, you seem to be on the right track, it's going to be a big job by the looks of it.

Im slowly working on it as well. I need a couple pieces welded on there. Im having some difficulty finding someone locally that can weld aluminum.

No its a 92 325iS

When in doubt look at the mirrors, dont you know thats where all the ricers copy the M3 style mirrors

 

love copart cars, good luck on the build

 

Those have a pretty big dome on them, I would imagine they're somewhere around 10.5 or 11 to 1. That looks like a bunch of fun building that thing back up. Good luck with everything

 

Arias just emailed me..

83mm bore and 11.5 cp ratio with the GSR head. Nice. Ill post pics of some more progress later on

 

no updates on build come on Alex come home from phili and get it going..

 

Acura

 

since ur already there. id just kkeep that **** gutted out with nothing but front seats, a dash board and street cage.

 

I have not updated for a while because I was away in Philadelphia, NYC and the surrounding areas out there... BTW I hate NY..

Anyway.. I decided against the new pistons and decided to stick to the old ones.. I think the issue I had with the last set up is that my rings were not gapped correctly. So I got new JE rings and a cometic head gasket.

As far as the interior goes, I have the black carpet in as well as S2k seats. I also got the leather rear seats. I have pictures of how I modified the rails to fit the DC chassis. I will post that when I get home.
