I sold my SRT a few days ago . i have a 91 Civic Hathcback that does not run at the moment. I have about 7 thousand to play with. not really planning on turboing it.

Jus give me some ideas about what you would do. I am kinda new to the "Honda" thing.

Thanx.

 

step one PLAN WHAT YOU WANT
step two....
step three profit.

 

Yeah, that whole planning thing is what i am attempting to do here. i was hoping that the poeple on here would be nicer than the people on srtforums.

 

sell the shell, and buy a clean running car.


if you start with a cleaner car, you'll end up with a cleaner result.

agreed

or if you want to start from scratch and want to do everythign yourself then decide if its worth it


any pictures of the shell?

 

I got the car for free. Body is in real good shape. Front right fender is dented. I dont have ne pics right now, but will post some. The D15 in it is fooked. It runs, but the piston rings are gone. The #3 spark plug is getting oil on it from the piston side.

I was planning on a B16 swap. About 2000 for that when it is all said and done.

I need ideas beyond that. My friends want me to do ITBs, but that doesnt sound very streetable to me.

Best said! I just gave ideas and link for him to look around. I know I sounded a little specific, but didn't mean too. Kinda left it more specific cause he's new the Honda world. By giving more specific words will make his searching easier. No harm though....I completely agree with you!

 

Thinks guys. I think that i am goin with a b16. Don't want to go turbod, but what do yall think about ITB's?

Like i said i am new to the honda thing, but want to do something trick.

Well ITBS are mostly all good, not really worth it on lightly built motors, as far as a daily it's fine with filtering.

Tuning ITBS can be tricky, if you never have before.

If you want a b16 good, that's a start. Now some more goals and what's your remaning budget once the motor is in and running.
