thats what i thought thanks for the help. if anyone has a pics of the conversion please post them

 

atleast i know i didn't spend as much as you did

do a search b/c i've seen pics posted on this site...looks horrible IMO

 

the front end just bolts on so you should be good to go.

 

Quoting again because I love pics like this. Reminds me of when I got divorced and went ape-**** on car parts!

 

not exactly

 

How is this not a bolt on front end with what you just said?

 

In order to get the fenders to fit right, you have to cut the Civic/CRX fenders in half and weld them together

 

Thats only about half too.. but it wasnt an all at once purchase

thanks! I love this pic. I just know I posted it months ago in a build thread and all it did was bring hate.. as if my mother funds my car hobby or im a spoiled kid. this is all purchased by me and im proud to show it off!! I have many more part ***** pictures.. just trying not to stir up any commotion! (It has taken me years to purchase this stuff... Im no millionaire or sponsored to get freebies)



I know this may come off as a very "noob" question, but I have no shame!
-I need/want to buy a VIRGIN(unchipped) PR3 ECU for my OBD0 b16... how can I ensure that the seller has not chipped/tuned/anything to the ECU? Is the sellers word the only thing I can go buy to ensure that what I buy works?
I have purchased ECU's in the past, but mainly through RYwire and Im still yet to hear someone bad mouth his work. Any help is appreciate!

 

thanks fellas. ill just stick to the ef9 front end

 

In the picture you added, it didn't state that, thats why i asked the question. Learn something new everyday.


Have the seller open up the ecu, its only a couple screws, take a picture and send it to you. I believe if it isn't chipped, theres a outline for a socket in the ecu that shouldn't have a stocket there. Also there are jumpers i believe too that arn't added. In any event, i'm sure someone else can chime in on where exactly the socket and jumpers/resistors are that are added. Someone correct me if i am wrong.

 

You are correct.. I went and checked out some other ECU's I have, stock and chipped..
Asked the guy selling it to send some pics of the inside.
Thanks.. Now that I think, that was a stupid question!

 

hotsauce. how do you have the patience to let all that sit around lol. as soon as a package comes in for me im out in the garage putting it on lol

 

I like to collect things then go out and put them all on at once.. Make me feel good inside when I look in my closet and its full of parts! haha

 

Its been a ground up restoration.(even though it was a mint stock Si) Every nut, bolt, washer, cotter pin even OEM from honda.. all new OEM parts or an upgraded aftermarket part. New paint, moldings, glass etc... Only thing not replaced or re-done (powdercoated,cleaned up) was the gas tank its self, but the straps and bolts and fuel pump have all been upgraded or new oem. Its been in the making for about 2 years. I keep myself satisfied by having other cars. Its also a learning process.. Ive never dug as deep into a car as I have on this, Its one of those "bury me in it" cars.

 

im in the same boat as you. im whoring up parts and im going to take a week or so off work to knock it all out. in the garage is a gsr tranny with kaaz lsd, fullrace traction bars and radiator, rear dis conversion, act bnib clutch kit, brake line for the tuck, full obd1 harness. etc

this is just about half too. i have a ton more stuff on the way. cams, coilovers, brake lines, wheel etc.






Spy anything weird in that picture?


sorry for filling the thread!!

 

yea, the voids for the injectors have been filled in, kinda.

 

that doesnt matter. ill be running itb's. look between the block and head...

 

hah, missed the deck plate. LOL.

 

This is wrong. you have to cut and weld the fender bottoms on each side and modify lights and bumper support.

 

i don't have the patience, and more importantly, the space, to collect parts

 

I love those black hasports dude!

 

Tai- Nice Stuff!! Cant wait to see that all complete. now I dont feel so bad with boxes growing all over! Are you running heat in your car? reason I ask is b.c my jdm gsr water neck looks different than yours, I planned to weld mine shut.
Also.. whats that plate on the left side of picture two.. looks like it covers the tranny area. never saw that before.

 

Looks like the trans "stiffener brace" from an ITR. CTR's might also come with them. Either way, its an R thing. Most people remove them so certain headers can clear.

 

I have a chipped PR3 I can sell you

 

No heat. And its a type r support between the tranny and motor. Usually its just two small brackets vs that long one.

And its a b16/itr head.
