I bought this civic to mod it... never really worked out well, what with cash flow and all. But in the time I did have money.. here's what I've done:

*B18b1 swap, ECU and all.
*Compressor Belt Tensioner from a Del Sol for the A/C.
*GSR Transmission.
*Hasport billet alluminum motor mounts
*Exedy Stage 1 Clutch
*Apexi N1 Cat-back Exhaust (Great sounding exhaust note)
*Apexi Super AFC (stolen, but it's still wired for one as you can see in the passenger inside image)
*3" intake (I forgot where I got this)
*Skunk 2 Short Shifter to LS linkage (Great feel)
*Skunk 2 Shift ***
*Momo Blue italian leather Shift cover
*SI Guage cluster with just over 200k on it and Green/Blue switchable backlight (original is in the trunk with a little over 90k on it.)
*Skunk 2 Coilovers all around
*Skunk 2 Camber Kits all around
*Alarm w bright blue LED
*Tokico Blues all around
*TYC limited edition Carbon fiber tail lights (at night it looks kinda like a skylines)
*TYC Projector head lamps (for the 2000 civic)
*17" ADR M-Sport rims, all the caps have fallen off :-/
*Wired for quite a sound system 18 and 12 guage lines Fosgate 501 db amp for the sub, and a P/A 150x4 amp with 300 sub out both run through the 1 AMP cap you see for all the 5 1/2"s there is a 300watt component set in both front doors, the rear has some P/A 5 1/2" Once throw a deck in and a sub in the back, it will sound great. all the wires and lines have been run quite well.
*2000 front end conversion (needs to be redone... some guy backed over the front edge of the hood with his truck and messed it up then ran.)

When I got this engine, the odometer on the wrecked integra it was in was 47k, I've since put 30k (95% highway) on it, so the engine has almost 70k on it. The transmission is a GSR that came from another wrecked integra, no LSD, shifts perfectly. I haven't had a single problem with the engine save for the stock clutch which I replaced with an exedy stage 1.

The Bad: As you can see the front end conversion needs to be redone, theres a sizable dent in the rear drivers quarter panel, AC freon line needs to be rewelded and the system recharged, but it will work just fine if you have that done. (the guy who backed over the hood broke the line and let all the freon out.) No Head unit, it got stolen 3 times... I didn't wanna replace the window a 5th time... (it was broken once for the Super AFC), it has a Rice rear bumper that needs to be replaced, and the rear passanger tire needs replacing, The speedometer is acting up, (dunno if it's the sensor or the guage) A couple seals are gone (passenger door and front passenger windshield, the top has started shedding paint, and the front passanger CV shaft may need replacing (both OEM CV shafts have a lifetime warranty with O'Reilys, pop the old one off, take the old one in, get the new one for free, pop it on and your done.

Other than that the car runs fine and can hit 140 mph highway with no problems. It's my Daily driver and I've had 0 problems out of it other than replacing the stock clutch and the CV shafts (both came with the swap and needed replacing anyway)

I don't feel up to continuing this project, I've gotten way too many tickets, and don't have the time or money to continue. I just bought a CRX, gonna paint it, throw some rims on it and call it a day. I wanna trade this for a bone stock car so I can have a second back up. Or I'll take 2200 for it. Either way... Take it.

BTW: Title is clean and in hand.

Now for the Pics:
edit: oops, forgot the engine bay:

... wow u [freak]ed that car up

 

lol, well it looks like ***, but drives fine.

 

Edit: Forgot the enginebay pic, added it

 

ill give you 1000 for it if you get that amp **** out of the trunk...

it will take a whole lot to fix that front end.... looks like its falling off... you can keep the front end **** too.. and that [freak]ing back bumper....its all trash

 

The motor mounts alone are 400+ the suspension cambers and all used would go for over 450, the short shifter - 100, the ****, 50 then you have the motor and GSR tranny.... so no. 1000 is not an option. as for the "work" you can throw a 92-95 front end back on for less than 500, you don't HAVE to keep the front end conversion and a rear bumper for 150, then you have a 92-95 with an LS swap for less than 3000, its NOT a bad deal. I just haven't had the time nor the "trust" in body shops to take another risk after having been [freak]ed over by 2 in a row... 1 for a kit, who stole my stock bumpers and sold em before I even picked the car back up, and 2 who claiming he'd done a 2000 front end conversion before and destroyed 4 fenders trying. I'm tired of trying. I just want it gone, for a fair price.

I've had a couple comments about the seats as well... they are NOT ripped and don't even have a single hole, those are seat covers that are ripped, the seats are all in perfect condition. I put the seat covers on the day I bought it. The wiring and harnesses are all there for a head unit as well, it's not a ripout job, it was done right (unlike the bodywork.)

 

whoa thats all i have to say whoa

 

i have the same mounts on my car. i paid 220 for them....

just sell it to me for 1000... the front end is ****, the rear end is ****, only good thing is the swap. its gonna take ALOT of work to make that car road worthy! it has the ek radiator support in the front right? the motor looks like its dirty too, leaking oil? 140 mph eh? thats a selling point - "so i ragged out the car, but it makes me cool"

if the ac blows cold AND the engine doesnt leak ill give you 1300.

and you can keep the front end and the rear bumper and the tail lights and your amps, and your seat covers, and the little dress up stuff under the hood and you can sell it all!!

 

lol, where'd you get those mounts from for 220, I need to start a reselling buisiness off whatever your source is, I could make a lot of money.

As for the engine, it leaks nothing, and I don't take it to 140 for the hell of it, only when highway racing other cars and thats few and far inbetween... You act as if I'm supposed to have a good swap and drive it like a granny if I ever want to sell it. I'm honest, I'm not a crook I'm not gonna tell you "yea I put the swap in but I never use it..." I merely said it has no problems at with the engine, and it IS roadworthy, it's my daily driver. I'm sorry to but "road worthyness" isn't Isn't judged by your willingness to "be seen in it." It's by will it get me from point A to point B without blowing up. This car is road worthy, I've been on several roadtrips, Oil Changes after every one, kept nothing but Royal Purple in it, changed out the timing belt 2 months ago and the water pump for the hell of it. The front end is not representative of how I've taken care of the car. The front end is representative of some of the shitty bodyshops in the metroplex, my uncanny magnatism to such shops and some of the no insurance having bastards who like backing over peoples cars then running. I'm sorry if i sound combative, I just feel insulted at your belittling it's really not the right way to conduct business. I'm not selling it for a 1000. Not without the amps not with green eggs and ham no says sam I am.
