Money says he bought it this way...

Besides the pieced together front lip, hideous wheels, grill, and awful intake setup...i guess its ok.

Get rid of the things I mentioned and bam...almost a stock car. If you did all that to the car I am sorry.

Is it just me or does the driver side fender line up different with the bumber in each pic, like the bumper is hanging and moving?

for one i did not buy it like this ive done everything myself. its not a pieced together front lip. the lip belongs on a jetta. grill is a stock si grill i just cut out the mesh. and the intake setup is just like that for right now. i have a y8 head and manifold for it.

@doctorake. every post i put on here u talk **** about. the fender doesnt move the hood was hit and it bent it in some. everything lines up on the car right except the hood. the front bumper in these pics was put on correctly. it was ziptied do to the work i was doing to it pulling it off and on. so please stop talking ****. theres no point

Rebuild a block for lower compression then turbo'ing it up to 300hp+ will be possible

i daily this car i dont plan on hitting anywhere over 300...i have a ls block, type r pistons, eagle rods and some other small b series things and putting together another ls/v is definitely an option...but if i single cam turbo it. itll just be a complete low comp. build like u r talking.

Your only other thread I told you to use google, how is that "talking ****". I was right about your bumper, it is not aligned right. I you have given no plans or tech, this is just an appearance thread so far.

i have the plans. I have the option to do a b series swap or a d series turbo. Im leaning more towards the d series turbo. I've had a ls, ls/vtec, and a ls,/vtec that was supercharged. while they were nice, they didnt do it for me. Im almost positive that my d16y7 in my hatch would take my integra with a ls/vtec. Before I do this process what are yalls opinions on the both.

B series. If i go the b its a b18b1 bottom. I have oversized ls pistons or type r pistons but dont have any rods yet. I would most likley be running some sort of vtec head whether its a b16 or gsr. Ive also been seeing about piecing together a Poor Mans Type R.

D series. If i go d itll be a d16y7 bottom end with a built y8 head. stock everything else and a name brand turbo. I dont want some Ebay bullshit.

Whats everyones opinions and experiences?

Do a B-swap!

And if you Y7 can smoke your LS VTEC then you got to do a service on that LS ... Because it doesn't seem to be a healthy engine if a small *** Y7 can smoke it ...

If your going to tuck the B will be much more pretty and you have ALOT more options for both tuning and accessories

No plans. No tech. Just asking for opinions. Is it your build or ours?

Car looks better in black and white with the hood down.

why would you cut the mesh out of an si grill ? if you wanted a big ugly hole why not cut up a cheaper and easier to find regular grill ?
