BUILT NOT BOUGHT!
Okay, so it looks like I'm gonna repair it myself. I would've gotten $1,705 and change from my insurance if I didn't have a $1,000 deductible.So now I got $705 and change to spend on replacement parts. Also if there's frame damage, my insurance will repair it with no charge.
and my title stays clean. So right now I'm a pretty happy camper.I would've been more happy if I got the rest of the money.

if you have any junk yards like i have around here, you can get all your parts for less than 200 and still have a lil over (if you dont have to paint anything). not a bad deal
Yeah junkyards here, you gotta be the first one to see the car to get what you want. Otherwise all the parts are gonna be gone, on the day the car enters the lot.
Hands down best thread on honda-tech. ill post up some pictures of when i bought my lude and where its at now in a day or two, its still not finished but its come a long way. f20b swap comin this winter :D
I've bought my Civic 2 years ago. It was bone stock.
Specs when I bought it:
-1996 Honda Civic Coupe DXI (EJ2)
-Milano Red Tri-Coat R81-3
-D15B7 Engine
-Factory options:
*ESI rear wing
*Mudflaps
*Colorcoded Mirrors



After 2 years it has been changed a little:
Mod's:
Exterior:
-JDM Blackhousing Clear Headlights
-OEM style foglight corvers with brake cooling ducts
-Smoked OEM corners
-White Side Markers (flat)
-White/Red SI style taillights
-Amber Runninglights Front
-USDM Runninglights Rear
-Type-R Style Frontlip
-OEM EK Side skirts
-Type-R Rear skirt
-OEM Black hood
-Xenon 8000K HID lights
-Spoonish mirrors
Interior:
-OEM ITR Recaro Seats Black w. Red Stitching
-Type-R Shiftknob
-OEM JDM ITR Shiftboot
-Shortshifter (-30%)
-QSP 3 spoke leather steering wheel
-Momo Steering hub
-QSP 50mm Spacer
-Option centerconsole
-Ultra Thin Quick Release (snap-off)
-Black headliner
-QSP Red 4-point harnesses
-Weight reduction (-14kg), sound deadning removed.
Suspension:
-BC Racing BR-RS full Coilovers
-Megan Racing LCA's
-Ultra Racing 3-point Front-up strutbar
Wheels/Tires:
-Summer: 16" Rota Slipstream White / Uniroyal Rainsport 2 195/45/16
-Winter: OEM EP2 Steelies 15" / Yokohama Ice-Guard 195/55/15
Brakes:
-OEM Front and Rear

Engine:
-Tenzo-R Intake tube
-Blox Velocity stack
-Blox 4,5" Air filter
-Red painted valve cover
-Megan Racing Spec-D Cat-Back

-Semi Tucked bay
Next upgrades will be done to the brakes and suspension. I'm going to swap the stock 242/drums for Civic MB6 VTI (EDM 5-door civic, B18C4) 282/260 brakes. Because this brakeswap is 4x114'3 I'll have to buy some new rims. I'm thinking of Rota Grids (TE37's in 16" 4x114'3 are impossible to find over here). I have the brakeswap laying around, but I'm collecting parts now to do a lot of things at once.
-Front 282 Brakes w. new discs and Ferodo DS2500 brakepads
-Rear 260 brakes w. new discs and Ferodo DS2500 brakepads
-Energy suspension Trailingarm bushing
-Energy suspension masterbushing kit
-Steel braided brakelines
-1" Brakecylinder and booster
-Cusco style brakestopper
-New 16" rims for the summer, 15" Civic MB6 VTI rims for the winter
After the brakeswap has been done the wishlist looks like this:
-Removing rust from rear q-panels
-Respray the whole car in R81-3 Milano Red
-ITR swaybars front and rear
-ASR brace, rear upperstrutbar
-Cleaned, shaved and tucked enginebay
-Respray enginebay in white
-B18C-R engineswap
-along the way this list will grow...
The car in it's present state:

http://youtu.be/e_fgeUTtHQI A little bit of J32 civic action after going to the track. Sorry for the poor video quality, it was at night. We both had passengers. The camaro took off late after the horn blew. He's a good find of mine. Known him for years.
well i did some work on my integra saturday and sunday...
pulled the non vtec head off

then while i was in there with full access to the back side of the block, i ran my fittings and lines for my oil pressure gauge and my turbo oil feed line

boost and oil pressure gauges in their mounting spots

and then put the z6 head on and put everything back together

and here's a quick video of it running. don't mind its retarded idle, i haven't gotten to that point yet. that is on the list for tomorrow. along with re-doing the vtec wiring (was done previously, but one of the wires came out of the ecu and i'm just going to redo it all) and probably gonna head to the junk yard to find a new radiator for it since the one in it now decided give up the ghost finally

*note- the turbo is not on yet. want to make sure i get everything running 100% first. don't need to keep adding more problems on top of existing problems. once i get the idle straight and the vtec working, then its time to have fun with some boost

No, got home around 8 and decided to wait until tomorrow to start on it. Didnt feel like running into problems..
I just picked it up yesterday. That was the update i was planning on sharing but the motor is still sitting in the truck and i didnt get a chance to snap pic since i got home kinda late.
also will be swapping everything in tomorrow w/ the turbo. :crossfingers: hopefully there isnt any problems.
LMFAO! OH MY GOD VTECCCCC! PRICELESS!
