^^^^ ek on the mags.. nice

 

I ran a fully built b16 eg tonight with two car head start and lost by 3 Cars and also lost to a built single cam crx

 

Brayzie told me about this, figured i'd give it a shot.

didn't start out with a stock car, but instead i brought mine back from the dead.

It's an 88 civic std hatch, came factory with a ~70 hp 4spd d15b1 dpfi with gray/black pleather interior and ac.

when I got it she wasn't running, had a failed attempt of a mpfi swap done, couple different rattle can jobs, no front seats, black gsr cloth rear seats, nissan sentra wheels, egay coil overs that were slammed on blown stock shocks, and nasty "custom" interior that was sagging and gross, a cargo cover, and a legit ef9 cat back. I got it running, swapped in some no name 13" wheels and an si transmission and rapped it till i blew the tired d15, which ran on 3.5 cylinders and a clogged pick up tube.

it's easier for me just to type out a mod list vs what all i've done, so here it is:

I think that's everything I've done to it... Literally the only things i kept after i bought the car, besides the shell and exterior panels, was the cargo cover, rear seats, the dash, the dome light, the tail lights and the piece of ply wood cut to fit as the spare tire cover. Everything i listed I installed, rebuilt, or replaced myself.

Here's some pix when i first bought it:




and here's how it sits now:






Let me know what you guys think

 

Wuddup Ryan, welcome to the thread.

and i LOVE how the bmw turned out. looks mean.

let me just say, "Holy overachiever, Batman!" ha, ha, ha. seriously nice job, tho. always good to see a Honda get brought back from the dead to such nice condition now. my name's Heather. nice to meet you.

x2


Oh, and good morning, guys! how's it going?

 

i'm glad to see i'm not the only one doing this

 

Why is that n/a????????????

 

I like the cutout cover on the timing gear, I did something like that, but have a plexi glass cover, I'm thinking of painting it with the hypnotic swirl ,like what is used on jet aircraft turbines

 

i dont understand why people quote the same images a million times on the same page.

 

^LOL x2

 

Thanks bro, i've seen you rollin around, your coupe looks cleaaaaan!! haha those hx's look hella tiny tho for how low you are

Haha Thanks Heather nice to meet you too!


that'd be cool! I did the cut out for a couple reasons, one of which is to be prepared for an adjustable cam gear down the road when i get a cam of some sort. you shoud do the hypnotic swirl thing that'd be dope!

Thanks for all the comments on my ride guys i'll do my best to keep active in here
