Yea I don't like the gold 5's lol. Looks like it's already lowered right? What I would do first is put a GSR back in it, I don't understand why you don't plan on doing that. Unless you are going Type-R or K-series...

 

yea well i been thinking about it ... it all depends how it goes im gonna have 2500 to spend right away then from there on out it will be week by week ...

 

those wrent fat fives those were Del Sol Fives

 

same thing delsol fives or del sol fat fives

 

here are some pictures of the engine bay and why its a shell now lol i dont know why they ruined it with this ugly *** gold color

YOu cant see it from these pics but the engine bay was painted so poorly its not even gold and you cant see the whole thats in the block either lol

 

I was gonna ask what was wrong with that bottom end lol But then I read your last post lol. I would take out the internals, buy a bare block for $200, GSR head for $400. GSR tranny for $400. And you will still have $1,500 to put into the engine and stuff.

 

A wire tuck and color matched bay would look awesome. You are in the position to do it since you gotta pretty much rip everything out of it anyway.

Congrats on the pickup

 

Ya im definitely gonna paint the engine bay white ... i dont think im doing a wire tuck... but anyways have you ever painted a engine bay .... ?? Is it hard to take off all the stuff and prep it for paint ??

 

To paint the engine bay you really just need to take off all the wiring harness' off the strut towers and such, and let most of the stuff on the firewall hang and just tape them off.

 

I agree a wire tuck is calling your name

but you dont have to do a color matched bay
me i want to go thunder grey exterior (stock acura color) and a certain honda accord blue (forgot the color name) only came on a couple years of accord newer years

 

yea for some reason when i look at it ... it looks so difficult lol .... anyways on my front bumper can anyone tell me if thats a 2000 front cause i want to buy a type r lip for it and want to get the right one ?

 

Pretty sure that is a 2000, someone correct me if I am wrong, but I am pretty sure.

And I vote for even a minor wire tuck!

 

whats a minor wire tuck??

 

Just, like, tucking the headlight harness', run the injector wires up from under the intake, and a few other little wires here and there. Nothing major.

I did a minor tuck, and I didn't even tuck the headlight harness', I just tucked the big, or obvious wires that were ran terribly from the factory, just simple stuff. Nothing more than unplugging, re-routing, and plugging back in...

 

Bump

 

Sorry i havent updated in a while but my taxes are taking lonnger than i thought but instead of putting in the b18c1 in im thinking about putting in the cheaper b16a2 in i can get a swap for 1800 reason i wanna do that so i can have enough money for the itr front end any comments ?

 

Some of the specs of the car already are skunk 2 shocks and springs spoon mirros viper alarm hids full exhaust

 

oh and one question with the itr front conversion it says non hid ... what does that mean .... can i still use my h.i.d.s and put it on the itr headlights

 

I'm not really familiar with jdm front end, but I do know that the jdm hid version comes with black housing.

 

1800 for a b16 swap is a ****ing ripoff. b16 motors are like 400-600 here

 

Put a gsr in it imo that would be your best bet, check the for sale threads. good luck

 

I dont think 1800 for a jdm b16 swap with 30-50 miles with harness and ecu and tranny is a ripoff dude some people are able to get good deals but im not trying to buy extremely used motors you can tell these jdm are fresh

 

Ya trust me i want a gsr but i also want the jdm itr front so thats why im trying to get a cheaper swap but i dont really want a ls thanks for you opinion though who knowi might still get a gsr would it be alot of difference or stupid to get a gsr long block with ls tranny
