Default my build thread (: aka blues clues

so i have had this car for about a month now and i have pretty big plans.. so about 2 months ago i bought a b18a1 for pretty cheap knowing i would have a honda in the future. well now to the car, its a 90 dx dpfi with a si tranny on it. its in pretty ruff shape and riced up a bit but i plan on changing that. it has off brand racing seats and a full exhaust.. so yea its a turd! i have the mounts,linkage, and the mpfi (ebay) swap on the way. the motor is obd1 but i plan on converting it to obd0, so i just picked up an obdo dizzy,injectors, and a obd0 pr4 ecu. i think thats all i need to make it 0, please correct me if im wrong. as far as axles i have 90 integra axles and the half shaft, that is correct too rite? i will have pictures of the motor soon. please leave feed back!

not a bad start, looks like you shouldn't need much to get the outside back a set of fenders and some taillights would be a good start, that kinda looks like a crx front bumper is it? or is it just missing the trim around the headlights?

yeah stock for sure, just get a good suspension setup, rims, and go to the junkyard and look around for a lip to bolt onto it. Then itll look good

for the drop... depends on what you'll be doing with it. Maybe just go some shocks and springs if it's every day kinda riding, or coilovers if you're looking to go mountain runs and track. Then there's new bushes etc.... look out for the trailing arm bushes first, they're always f*cked. Anyway, i'll stop blabbing on.

wtf is a bushe...

I would reccomend a PIC coilovers as a good value suspension system. If you want to spend a little more Koni/GC is an option as well.

It looks like you have a lot of work ahead of you. Several years back I bought a CRX in similar condition and it was quite an experience trying to undo all of the awful things that were done to the poor thing.
