if you can get the money i'd say just register it, if you think it wont be back on the road for awhile just register non-op

 

i might sell my B16. cause im gonna wanna get the JDM Front End for the GSR or Boost it.

 

boost>jdm front, stick with the 96 front end and go with the SIR-G theme

 

Well i posted my bay last week and this week i got my frontend painted and "mocked" up, so yea no bolts holding the panels, there just kind of resting, But you can get an idea. Its funny how just a week ago my car was just "crap" or "junk" and im never going to get it driving. Then you just throw a little paint on there and everybodys mind changes.Fast. :ramble:

Anyways here is how it sits now, the rest should be done this week.

 

are you painting it yourself?

 

yes sir, i got about 2 months of practice buying paint and clear over and over until i was feeling ready (and in the paint&body section alot). Then after im done painting next week its just a matter of putting it back together and wetsanding,cutting,polishing ect.

 

mmm. idk

 

looking forward to seeing the finished product You using a paint gun/compressor?

 

yea i bought a 35 gallon compressor (a little small i know) 400$
and a FX3000 sharpe paint gun for 140$
base/clear/good DTM primer/cleaning solvents/sandpaper 500$

not to shabby, i just wish i had a real work place other than my small garage, but eh. ill be updating by next week

 

nice, have a feeling once its all cut and buffed its gonna look good. Props though, i wouldnt have the ***** to paint my own car

 

my car is registered til next year, but expired registration due to not providing proof of insurance for 6 months. now my tags expired. so my only choice would be non-op till the day it turns over.

 

just do it that then and once its all finished and ready to hit the road register it again

 

I finally paid for my medicine so I can start my antibiotic, I have this coming, it's a genuine MOMO Teg type R wheel, the splines are the same as whats in my 86, it should bolt right in. I'm good at steering wheel restoration so dying the leather is no big deal. It looks a lot like the factory wheel from the 86, just better,

 

ill have pics up in the morning

 

***7lb flywheel, ive got a 5lb crank pulley on the d15b1 i have in the car now and i keep getting them mixed up....but it will NOT be going on this "d17y8" motor, i like the bearing's where they are, and i know im running a huge risk running the 7lb flywheel.....hoping to rev a little quicker and get .2-.3 off the 1/4 mile....like i said im shooting for 14's...and its GOING to happen....

 

Ls vtec turbo wagon sounds good right about now.

 

what?

 

@ lost, that wheel looks to be in better condition than whats in my EG9 right now.
Nice buy, quite a comfortable wheel IMO!

Quick question for you fine folks, would it be OK to drive a short distance to a tuner to have my ECU chipped / base tuned on the stock P30 ECU. (no high rpm / vtec)
Engine is a B18C GSR with a Skunk2 inlet manifold & very basic bolt on's.

 

should be okay..

You was talking about just keeping the wagon the other night and with this just popping up, Doing the LsvT in the wagon sounds like a good choice right about now.

 

glad you're not putting that crank pulley on the next engine. real fast way to screw up some bearings.

OMG NO! DON'T DO IT!!!!






j/k. it will be perfectly fine

 

if it comes down to it with my sedan, it will be parted out and everything goes to the wagon.

haha. dont give me any ideas! ..

 

Thanks for the help guys!
Had someone else telling me that the P30 would run the B18C perfectly fine, which I was a bit hesitant about. Something tells me it will be running a bit lean??

 

do it!! it's something different!

 

pics are up in my build thread
