Keep up the good work man. Where did you get your itr shifter from? You inspired me to get one also but I can't find any that are dual bend

Deetz

Thanks! If these freak snow storms would stop showing up, i could get some progress done, lol

For the shifter, i went ahead and purchased a complete jdm ITR shift rod assembly for about $75. It was a great deal because the bars are much thicker and beefier, identified by a gold color instead of standard painted black. All DC shifter are dual bend, but the ITR is chrome instead of black also

looks real good man keep it up

sohcmyD has to be one of the most interesting names I've seen on here yet. Made me lol.

I wish there was a beefier situation for D's as far as shift linkage goes. Hope the weather clears up a little more for you here soon.

very awesome read, sweet car,

mmunozem1

Any updates!? doing the same thing with my ex. same color and swapping it out for b16. keep up the good work

SeanK325

haha!

Deetz

ah ha, very soon! I am actually going out to my storage next weekend to pull the car out. I have the B18C and tranny sitting here ready and waiting.......so that is just around the corner.

In the mean time, i have been in the garage tinkering with three K series engines i picked up over the last couple months...K20A2, K20Z3 w/tranny, and a K24A4

Now that spring is finally kicking into gear, i have been looking forward to getting started again!

Wait just a second, You going K?

Deetz

ha ha, not for this car I have an RSX also. I am putting together a crazy 2.4L K for a future project I just like keeping busy

SJC

decent build, get that SIR badge back on the trunk, and JDM healights...CF hood and trunk would look great too.

Deetz

ha ha, i did that look 9 years ago with my rsx. I won't do jdm headlights again, the beam shines the wrong way and is really annoying. This Civic is basically going to be a sleeper

SJC

haha fair enough. who's doing the final tune on your civic? and is there anyone good in calgary that will build a bottom end? speedtech just isn't cutting it

Deetz

I'll either go with Toma, or the guys down at Techmotion....both are good tuners

SJC

my buddy is taking his mustang to Toma, he turbo'd it. I've heard good things about him. does techmotion do full builds, I need sleeves and pistons and rods. I'm also going to up my nitrous shot. got any recent pics of your car?

Deetz

Nt sure of all that Techmotion does, but they do have a good rep w/tuning. Toma has a good rep too

As far as todays look on the DC5, i keep it clean

SJC

ya that is clean, looks good. what mods are done to it?

cunnista

looks good

SJC

what did you do with your old B16?? and which in your opinion do you like better the K-series or the B-series?

SJC

if it's not raining this weekend I'll post some pics of my black SIR and Type R, possibly my buddys Type S as well.

This is definitely one of my favorite builds I have seen. This thread is **** for civic lovers. The motor/tranny build is perfect IMO. Real class choices in function and still maintaining all around drive-ability. Damn fine sir. I would be interested if you decide to sell that motor/tranny.

SeanK325

my buddy has a motor just like Deetz just sitting in his garage. He never got a chance to put it in. B18C5 with Mugen valve cover and all. Just waiting for him to sell it to me. pure sex.
