Default SMooTHn'z 5th Gen (CIVIC)

This was my introduction before... Havent really flaunted it on the forum, so here it is.

<FONT COLOR="darkblue">I got my hatch about 4 years ago for 1500. When i got it, it had and LS swap with GSR LSD tranny on some 15" Volk Gold w/ polished lip CCP's...

One day while riding home in the rain I hit a deep puddle and hydro locked the block, broke a rod in half and had a big old hole in the block. That was my first experience with cold air intake. Next time ill get a bypass for it. So i cut it to make it a short ram til i get a bypass..

So I bought another LS motor for 500 that was just rebuilt and had about 37k on it and swapped it in and drove it for a year. </FONT>

<FONT COLOR="blue">After that year my brother in law bought a 94 Integra with a blown motor w/ AT from my homie for 800. I sold him my LS engine out of my hatch for 400 and swapped it in for him.
He then bought another 2000 LS Integra for 1300, asked me to do some work to it and I could keep the 94 Integra. </FONT>

Now I got a JDM B20b Longblock, ordered it on ebay for $600 shipped . I swapped it in with my current GSR tranny and have been driving it over a year now. It's definitively more torquee than my LS motor. And alot more fun to drive.

I just painted with a $50 dollar paint job. It needs to be wet sanded. :thumbsdown:

The pics are old... There is on wire showing now and I need to vacuum my car after i do that I'll snap new interior pics...

Oh yea the side skirt fell off somewhere, I didnt notice, probably cause i was booming... no those are for horns, has little horn signs on it. I have a alarm siren hooked up to my horn so it chirps instead of honks ...

My Ravelco Security system is awesome thanks .. I installed it myself the it costs way too much to have professionally installed...

The cluster swap wasnt that hard, just time consuming. You have a choice of swapping the cluster plugs or the fuse box plugs, i went with the cluster plug swap.. I recommend it, if u want to be different from other Civics..

Yea im not the kind to take constructive and true criticism, as offensive as other people. I was thinking today would be the day to do some of the cleaning but just my luck its raining now ... Its too damn hot! But i will find the time and do it soon. Check back later for updated pics...
