It was an 89 civic lx, cut off front past the shocks and had a tubular frame welded. had a d15b2 in then it ran lean and blew, therefore swapped a b7 in and thing was amazing.

heres the chassis i was working with




heres after i threw a rod into a hot chicks driveway.






then came the b7


started throwing all the turbo sh*t back on. making sure all injector wires were secured on tightly this time.






this had more room than any car i've ever owned


and this is why i had michigan, rusty parts, tie rod wasnt the easiest getting off and i would of gotten a new one if it wasn't brand new basically just old.



all done... kinda


didnt like the looks of the intercooler piping so sprayed it blue






and my finished project

I don't understand what the purpose of your tubed frame is. Please enlighten me.

 

bigger swaps? had a b20 before i bought it then he put the SOHC back in, some guy took it to a shop to have it fab'd up, pretty neat actually

 

thats the gayest thing ive ever seen u dont need to that to swap in a bigger motor theres companies who make these space aged things called motor mounts..

That engine bay looks like ****!!!!!

 

i wouldnt go out of my way with all the cutting and welding, but why all the hate!

 

Tube frame + craftsmanship beyond bolt-n-go

Haters

Although I do have to agree that welding in a tubular frame for a D-series turbo was kind of over the top .

Any plans for a bigger motor in the future?

 

[freak] the newb haters, work with and have fun with what you have, It would probably hand them their asses in a race anyway....LOL.....I like a little ghetto mixxed with some fast.....

 

.... anyways thanks guys i got the car with a d series guy before had a nice set up and it was worth more to part the motor then the car, so yea you could of had a better motor set up, yet for me and my college cost this was better than most cars around and just as fast if not faster.

 

I dig it, I usually hate shaved side mouldings, but for some reason this one looks ok....

i didnt do any of the welding/cutting so i wasnt worried about how many hours someone else dumped into it, i was just glad i had something different. suprisingly it seems just as good as if it wasnt welded, it held up very good, didnt have a problem with wheel hop with the exception i had traction bars, other than that though it was pretty strong,
