i have stickers on my car, imo u gotta be tasteful about them tho, not go on a spending spree n buy every single one you can find. here's my collection thus far:



i also have a "northwest always fresh" sticker that came with a tshirt i bought (brayzie knows what's up) and the Oregon sticker with the Honda crest in the middle, instead of a heart. i'm saving these for my new windshield when i get it.

in other news i installed my kyb's in the rear, my old ones weren't blown but there is deffinately a difference in feel. my front is all wishy washy now, while the back of my car feels firm. going to make some extended top hats for the rear next week so i don't blow them out. then i cruised around for a bit, and enjoyed the nice night. what'd ya'll do today?

thanks! i wish i had the matching fronts for the rears, the rears are the dark gray sides with the black center parts with gray stripes or wht have you, the fronts are blue and gray from like a sedan or something. i have another set that match front and rear, they're gray with like a checkered center piece with red/green pin stripes running down the checkered part, just haven't thrown them in yet

Default Re: BUILT NOT BOUGHT!

whats up guys? i'd like to get down with this group. i actually took the time to skim through this thread from start to finish. lot of nice cars in here and i already see a few familiar people in here...

so anyhow, i'm andy and here are my cars, 91 integra ls (seems to be quite a few da owners in here), and a 94 civic 4door.

had the integra for almost 7 years now. first day i brought it home



been through a few motors and a few different wheels





shaved the rear emblems all off



put a 92-93 bumper on



mod list currently:
rebuilt jdm b18b (by myself)
arp head studs
crower stage 1 cams w/ aem cam gears
skunk2 intake manifold
exedy flywheel
random 6 puck clutch
act heavy duty pressure plate
obd0 to obd1 conversion
no name intake
tein super street coil overs
dc sport cat back exhaust
92-93 gsr wing (has the brake light in it)
92-93 gsr leather front seats
92-93 front bumper
jdm fenders with side markers
chassis harness tucked
battery relocated to the hatch
fuse box moved under dash
painted engine bay the intended color for the car (but needs to be re-done)
innovative mounts
upgraded speakers front n rear
10" orion sub

i feel like i'm missing some things but yeah, thats the integra and here is how is currently sitting, broken n on steelies (sold the blades)



so now on to my civic. this is how i got it and it still looks the same on the outside



was stock single cam but motor was trashed sadly. in a pinch i had to throw in a b18b1 with a gsr tranny just to keep the car on the road so i had something to drive. yes, i'm aware most people would be happy about this swap. i however, am not. i want my single cam back! i'm a huge single cam fan as you'll see. i plan on putting a single cam back in asap and boosting it.

speaking of boost, here's some goodies i have laying around for it

precision sc-61. needs rebuilt but hey, i cant complain about free!


but it will be a while before that gets used. this will be used first and for a while



so quick mod list for the 4 door:

b18b1 swap with gsr tranny (temporary)
window visors (waiting to be installed)
swapped clusters (went from no tach to a tach)
alpine type-s front door speakers
tokico illumina shocks with skunk2 coil overs (waiting to be installed)
added oem arm rest
added oem clock
dsm style turbo setup (waiting for a single cam to put it on)
and think thats it

future plans for integra:
find out whats wrong with my tranny n fix it
new windshield (AGAIN )
paint/body work
possibly ls/v/turbo (just need rods n turbo setup)
some nice wheels
carbon hood
make it my nice weather/weekend/track toy

and for the civic:
rebuilt single cam vtec
dsm style turbo setup
put suspension on
decent but cheap wheels
body work n paint
daily beat it

sorry for the looooong first post guys and girls. if there's any questions you have, just ask

Lol the Jswap isn't for the faint of heart. It took me about 18 hours total to wire it up. Another 3-4 hours the wiring will be done. Everything else on the swap is a piece of cake. Which I SUCK AT WIRING(makes me mad). I would post some more pics but I dont want to freeze anyones computer, I have that many pics.

Ok all of them are crappy cell phone pics though.
I have a build thread on a small local forum, I pitched the idea to a few guys about this swap in Oct 15, 2010, Bought the engine on 12-29-2010, Started the engine on 4-11-2011
From the time I bought the engine to startup 4-5months. That seems pretty fast for a swap like this.
bone stock 1-30-10





Test fit, before I had mounts.

Shaved, Tucked, and painted









Ill add more later on. I dont have any pics with the front end back on.

yeah honestly, i'd just send my harness to get modded and have it come back plug n play. i HATE wiring. i'll rebuild engines all day long but i try to mess with wiring as little as possible lol. im sure if i really sat down n tried i could do it, but i just dont have the patience it takes for wiring.

car/bay/swap is looking really good. what are you using for headers? can you actually retain the stock ones unlike with k-swaps?

Yes you can use the stock manifolds. I have cheap ebay tl headers. Comptech is too high plus I'm going to turbo it next year, wire tuck the engine, and buy a AEM EMS2.
