Default My 94 civic DD might be turned into a race car?

well i have a thread in the paint and body section with a 93 hatch it started with a rust bucket then i trashed that and got a cleaner teal si hatch with front end damage. any way i have a 94 Purple Honda Civic Ex coupe i was doing for my daily driver well instead of putting money into the hatch i started dumping it in the coupe i know kinda not smart lol. impatient i guess id say. so i started it off with a ebay exhaust from a friend. i have no pics of that. then i put a ls swap in her and thats where it all started. the pic of the motor is a lil old i cleaned it up and put a new valve cover on it. i have more pics but ill post them tomorrow when i get my camera.

nice man, if you ever get the hatch to a drivable condition you could always swap places with the coupe. than dump money into it when its not a DD. id make the l.s the vtec too..

they do good for a little bit, but they are made out of cheap metal and they crack really easily. honestly, if you are going budget build i would just get a cast ebay manifold and throw it on.

Just get new bushings pressed in, those will last you a few weeks until they blow out.

Sorry i changed my mind, but i agree. Unless those are like, from a straight up racing manufacterer i wouldnt trust em to be as durable as your stock ones, think of it like an autozone replacement part. .
