do Sarah Palin jokes still fly?

 

Hello from the Yukon, neighbour.

 

Clean stock start.

 

its about 40 or so now, we are starting to gain real light lol. only down fall with this car is its an auto but not for long i hope. i would like to find a gauge cluster with a tach but dont know where i could find one

 

hey i thought alaska was one big town and you just walk to the store and back home and thats about the whole day there

 

hey man welcome! this is a good site to learn, some people will give you bull tho. but oh well!

 

Welcome! How is the import scene up there?

 

There are a couple of manual gauge clusters with tachometers in the wrecker yards outside of Whitehorse - from US cars, too. Red Civic north of town, white Civic south of town.

 

WELCOME TO H-T
and you can probably find a good gauge cluster at the Honda-tech marketplace.
browse around and check all the forums out. we have A LOT to accommodate every need.
GOOD LUCK!

 

the import scene up here is alot of AWD Turbo cars like dsm, evo, wrx's alot of hondas in anchorage which is about 30-45 mins away from me depending how you drive lol

 

yeaaaa. nice ej1! GL

 

damn must be hard getting traction in all that snow. WELCOMe!

 

nahh thats why we have Studs lol

 

what are your guys opinion on the b16a SiR II for a swap? swapping the trans as well to convert to a manual?

 

b serious is cool. what you got a d16z6? thats a legit motor to start out with. id just boost it.

 

what are your plans for the car? a fun DD or are you looking to go wild with a turbo and all that?

 

Good DD it has the d15b7=Crap!!

 

i would go with a gsr or poormans r swap over a b16. the extra torque is a plus for DD and you get some extra top end power.

 

Still Kind of new to the swapping thing what would that intale? FYI im used to the 4G63 lol

 

a gsr is the b18c1 out of a 94-01 integra gsr, or the jdm gsr is a type r motor b18c or b18c5. a poormans type r is a gsr block with a b16 head and type r cams/valvetrain. some people swap for type r pistons and others run with the gsr pistons. its personal choice.

 

whats the cost difference between gsr and the b16a? for an entire swap?

 

there isnt much of a price difference... maybe like 500 bucks tops depending on where you look. its worth it in my opinion

 

well if i where to get the gsr will i need any custome parts? i have a friend back in wisconsin where i am originaly from, that has a 95 del sol that did the b16a swap and he said it pretty much dropped right in
