**UPDATES** page 2


im in no way a mecanic...i knew how to get around doing stuff...but nothing too crazy...

but since im putting my lude away soon for winter...god dam winters here i hate them...i decided to get a winter beater civic...i was bored with the stock dx engine so decided i was going to try something out... since i had some spare time on my hands...

and here it is...ill let the pics explain for them selves...

keep up the good work and post pics when its all done

 

here are some pics of the body work also done..you have no idea what the salt does to cars here...yes they put salt...why...i have no fuking clue...but eats threw a car like a mother.. so this 93 hatch...had NOTHING left for 1/4 panels...i mean nothing..to bad i dont have a before and after pic...but here is what she is looking like now..

 

they use salt here too.

but if this is your winter beater why so much work?

yeah, you seem to be working on another car that will need to be put away for the winter...

cool, nonetheless

 

Nice, that should be a lot of fun when it's done.

(it melts snow and ice, up to about -18C )

 

yeah, they salt here like crazy, sucks too

in the summer you clean your car and pollen gets all over it here within a day.

in winter you clean your car and they start salting the roads.

sucks

 

alright... i lived in upstate ny for 20 years and drove through 6 winters and from my experience the more power and torque you have the more you're car is gona suck ***** in the snow even if you put skinny winters on, so if you ask me its a mistake to put that motor in for a winter car but by the look of it by the time you're done its not gona be a winter beater anymore, from what i hear from my fam. up there its not gona be done by the time the snow falls

 

its pretty much done...just need some minor adjustments and im set...the power thing has nothing to do with it...it will probably end up being a project more than anything....the point here was to sorta motivate other people...you dont need to be a grade A mecanic to have some fun with your car

by the way i knew about the salt thing, it was just figure of speach

here is the other car thats going away for winter

 

Nice work man, get it done before the snow hits. Why spend all winter working on your car when you can play some pond hockey. We only dream of spontanious ice hockey games breaking out here in the south.

 

wow...a lot of spare time!

nice lude! one of the best simple ludes ive seen

My car gets around better now than it ever did with my z6.
Extra weight maybe...? Not such a 'peeky' power-band...? I have no idea.

to the poster:
Nice Lude. What did you do to convert that LS over...? That valve-cover is gonna need a new coat when you're done

Well, your car is a 92-95 civic (obd1).
Judging from the valve-cover on your LS, it looks like an obd2 motor. Which you'll want to convert-over to avoid problems. Or someone could have just been nice and gave you a newer-style cover. (the old ones had the ugly block-style VC... the new ones are nice and smooth, like the b20 VC, which is what you have).
