Fisher Price: aka My First Build
These pictures kinda suck and i dont actually have a pic of my car yet. but its been snowing out side for 4 days so i figured id do a little write up since i dont have much else to do right now.
I have a 91 DX with 150,000 on the body. the interior is blue and the bodys blue. the inside is decked out with random integra parts.
I
NSIDE:trying to keep the car looking as stock but be a little more comfortable. i got the front seats from a 91 integra in real nice condition (the car i got em from had 200,000+ on it too) i kept the back seats stock. the center console is also from an integra.
OUTSIDE:looks a little rough. has some rust in the normal spots but its only one the left rear. the engine bay also needed some sanding and painting (from last owners new engine) SI front lip but other than that its bone stock. paints in pretty good condition
ENGINE and TRANS: JDM B16a with what i think is a Y1 tranny. i know it has LSD but there is no stamp at all. im not planning on doing much more than a tune up and a clutch on this engine unless i have to break it apart.
BRAKES and SUSPENSION: kyb gas adjusties on skunk2 springs (2 intch drop cars a little too stiff for me with this set up) 91 Integra brakes on rear. crx Si front hubs. took the rear trailing arm, brake boost, prop valve and master cylinder from the 91 integ noted in 'inside'
SOME PICS: its a bad time of the year

Re: Another JDM B16 EF Build
Took my trans off today. had a 3 puck clutch in it. everything seems to be in good shape. the only thing that sucks is the old throw out bearing was broke and the spring that holds it on isnt looking too good.
ANNYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A NEW SPRING?
