Default My 91 Civic project......

Well I recently sold my 89 Civic si to my buddy and had been carless for a few months.I recently found this car,6 hours away from my house And picked it up On tuesday.The body has 390,000kms on it;but judging by the lack of rust and the Rx8 Blue paintjob I'd say it's had somebody work.The car Has a Walbro 255 fuel pump,momo Hub and steering wheel(probably goin to sell)a dual bend short shifter and a Act stage 2 clutch/pressure plate.It has a B18a1 with what I believe to be Yonaka motor mounts(**** in my opinion)This is my first Ed/ef that has a B-series swap(I've had 5 ef/ed's)Car needs tons of work but I guess thats why they call it a project.Blacked out turn signal cover's will be ditched as well.Let me know what you think,I'll update as the car progresses.Here's a few pics let me know what you think?







wheel on the car when I bought it:


wheels on the car now:

Car looks decent Yeah, that's a 90-91 style crx bumper, the fenders look to be civic though if you look at the bottom of them. Ditch those front corners, and the air intake filter for better ones.

Looks like a fun car!

It has a Brand new K+N drop in air filter,and I live in British columbia(Ton's of rain etc)Still sounds very nice,my favorite part of the B series swap is the low end torque,lol

I don't run one either....it makes maybe a 5hp difference, and that is only during hot weather, it's not that much of a difference
