i have a 92 dx hatch and a totalled 94 integra gsr that i'm pulling the b18 out of, and i'm thinking of doing an entire front end bumper and pussibily fender swap. i was just wondering if anyone here has ever done it, and if so, any advice, or pics? i'm going to do it myself, and i'm just mainly wondering if you used the integra hood?(will it fit on my civic?) or if you just shaved the integra bumper so it'll fit, and if you used the integra fenders or just cut your civic ones?
thanks

 

it all bolts right up but it looks like *** in my opinion but thats my 2cents

 

why?

just take the motor and sell the rest.

 

when u say it bolts right up, do u mean, the hood bumper and fenders all bolt right on?

 

as far as i know it doesn't just bolt right up. you have to take your civic and integra fenders cut them both in half weld the two different fenders together so that you know have the integra front on your civic fenders. then you have to weld you integra radiator mount onto the front of your civic. i think thats about it. but like somebody said before it really doesn't look that good. i have seen one in person and there is just something about it that doesn't look right. but on the other hand a JDM ITR front end on a hatch now that looks really good.

keith

 

kwil is right
just cut the fenders then weld them on, then take integra radiator supopprt and bolt those in and then the rest should bolt in if i''m not mistaken

 

would the integra fenders just bolt right? I'm not sure if i'm up for the welding, but if not, i guess i'll have to have a shop do it

 

it does NOT all bolt up or i would have had that front end conversion a couple months ago when i bumped some dumbass in a minivan and messed up my front end.. you have to cut and weld the civic and integra fenders together to make them fit correctly.. i have also heard from one person on the honda-tech board named civicnewbie that you can actually bolt it all up and then trim the fenders to make them fit correctly.. but remember you still need the integra raditor support to be welded to the civic frame, only a body shop can do that.. here is a list of parts you will need..
94+ integra hood
94+ integra fenders (2 both sides)
94+ integra headlights
94+ integra corner lights
94+ integra radiator support
94+ integra bumper (metal bumper)
94+ integra bumper cover
and some time and patience..

and you asked for some pics. i used to have some of a 96 coupe w/ the conversion done but cant find the pics now and also a 5gen hatch painted itr yellow w/ a b18c5 and itr suspension .. here is a 5gen hatch and i personally think it looks very good and unique..


there are a couple people that have done and said its not worth it and some others taht really like it a lot.. i personally am going to do it to my civic after i have the b18c1 engine to back up the looks of the car

what about this. . .

 

Everybody has their own style. Good luck with the conversion

 

Not my cup of tea, but hey to each his own.

 

yes that is where i got the pictures from.. he also had a b18c swap in the car and turboed.. if anyone has a link to the auction of knows who car it was or is now, i would like to know and talk to them about the conversion.. thanks

 

fugly and a waste of money.

 

i wouldnt do it, but it looks cool and only a few people have that done, it looks good and like it was done right

 

jdm front end itr conversion would look alot better!!!

 

i've seen that swap before and it looked like a$$. but that one looked hella good. but again, if you wanna look like an INT, go buy one.

 

If your gonna do the conversion why not go with the ITR front end... Looks alot better

oh yea cause that looks like poo.

as for that hideous thing....IMO

 

ok, thanks for all the advice on the swap, can you think of anything else i should scrap off the integra and put in my civic?

 

 

what else do you have off the integra?? of course there are more parts that you can put onto the civic.. you can use the integra 4 wheel disc brake suspension, front and rear seats, and also you could swap the dash into you civic..

how much did you get the integra for and how? ive thought about tryin to get wrecked cars from insurance companys and selling the parts before.. how much of the car is salvageable?? thanks

 

Interior all of it!!!!

 

i picked up the integra, the entire back half was totaled, from a junk year for around $1,500 + about 100 to get it towed to my house. as for swapping the dash goes, i've heard that you'd have to cut it to get it into my civic, yes or no? and i am going to swap out the front seats.

 

Nasty... looks like a Midget integra..

 

speaking of midgets, is that yoda by your name?
