So the motor in the caR isn't permanent, and you are going to swap out the C5 for a B18C????? Im lost, please explain this to me?

 

no no the c5 is in the car so we can drive it around and enjoy the car but there is a JDM type R swap on the way its got the 4.785 final and the jdm R header and higher compression

 

ok...i get it now! heh heh....

 

So i guess i am left with just one more question....why was a brand new motor purchased from Acura if a JDM B18C was on the way?

 

not to mention the negligable compression increase?

Maybe he already has a buyer lined up for the brand new C5?

Must be good to have money to blast....

I'm with Junior. Why not swap in a B16 or single-cam or something instead of paying $$$$ for a new C5?

I am stumped as well. Why trade a brand new motor with 0 miles on it for some beat to crap motor with nnn joto wakarimasen miles on it?

 

the new c5 was ment to go in a customer hatch but the deal fell apart so i got stock with it and as far as the JDM B18c that was on order before the R was purchesed from orlando and i have no problem selling a 0 mile B18C5

*Shrug*

 

how much are you going to want for that shortblock after it comes out of #95? im in southern washington maybe how much for the tranny too

 

hey if the C5 is not good enough for you I will take it off your hands when the JDM motor comes.....I can always have a extra ITR motor just in case #940 starts to go..

I'll do that for the hell of it ; mine will most likely get stolen before it sells anyways.

A Brand New R Motor From Acura.......WOW !

Keep that USDM R motor, sell the JDM R motor that has prolly seen more track time than all the caRs @ Expo 5, and take Buisness 101 so you dont get stuck with a customer purchase again.

but what if he drove in reverse all the time until he swapped the motor? j/k

 

i got some updates on 1997 #95 i got all the interior put in and some minor body work was done the car needed a right fender but i choose to fix it rather then replace it because it still had the vin tag on it and thats kinda important to me and it pluse points when the car sells and out of the 8 or 9 R's that I have brought back to life this was the frist to get the A/C back in it and thats also bouns points when selling the car. got new floormats from acura of lynnwood. still got to get wheels and a front lip.





well the car is i would say 75 percent done but the bitch part is over and we have decided to break in the 0 mile C5 block in #95 and i still need to have the A/C filled for some reason this R seems to be more fun to bring back to life then any other

 

and i was wondering if anyone knew why the 97 R's came with the smaller abs pump compared to the big *** ugly abs pumps you find 97 gsr?

 

You got the wrong floormats Those are for 2001.
I prefer the ones you got over the older styles though.

 

they didnt have the old ones
