89 civic LX build thread
so im undecided what im going to do with this car. either way, i thought a detailed log on either the rebuild or swap would be helpful for those considering the option i eventually take.
so, as of right now, im looking at 2 paths:
ive sourced an older b18a1 engine for a damn good price. however, its been sitting a while, possibly with fluids, so i dont know how that will affect its rebuildability...
second is of course rebuild the current d15b2 in it. im partial to this because i love the gas mileage the car gets. if i go this route, ill probably compete in car / audio shows/events. i want to do SOMETHING with this car, be it race or competition.
anywho, im waiting on the guy who has the b18 to get back to me. ultimatly, that will let me know which option ill be taking. ive already sourced axles (110$ shipped to me) for the swap if thats the route i take. if not, ill replace the stock axles with new OEM ones since the CV boots look ready to rip at any second.
let me know what you guys think.
