Warring: i have bad English and makes mistakes!!!

Hi everyone, I’m Eugene from Russia , I wanna tell you about my Civic-story but this story is over. I had civic shuttle (it is civic wagon) bought it at February 2017, it was civic 1993 with ZC soch and mechanical gearbox l3 series ,I was really happy had this car , good city car but it was a stock car, and my hands wants to make something , and first time I “made” exhaust system almost stock, resonator from integra dc and shotgun , I was enough happy and everyday sound made me happy , after a while I change front seat to a seat integra da6 and continue use car and be happy.

One day I just ride home and hear very strong metallic sound in front and car doesn’t to go , but engine worked normal and I understood my gearbox is dead because it had strange beat at the beginning of movement. I started looking for gearbox and find good gearbox but ss0 series , it was good news because ss0 gearbox have good short gear 3,44 and lock diff( I don’t know how it calls in English) and it cost about 60$ I was really happy and lock diff very good thing for winter time ( I from Siberia and we have snow almost 5 months of the year) after change gearbox I really felt new car haha and near winter I deleted bad heavy wheels with adapter and bought Japanese good and very light wheel 15r 7,5j

After one month use car as usual my ZC is dead I wanted to buy ZC again but price was very bad about 600$ (You need understand I had salary about 250$ it’s usually salary for my country ), and I had b20b and I thought why not and started swap b20b with ss0 gearbox , I bought flywheel and clutch from d16a Honda HR-v changed the holes to fit the b20 crankshaft , and little bit redone engine mount and gearbox holes after easy swap b20 into car. My friend made me electric (just normal b20 EBU) and we easy start engine, it was really good time and I had 150 horsepower in civic shuttle with good short gearbox and lock diff ,and I managed to drive on a dry road.

B20 good engine I wanted more horsepower, but life makes own plans , and I change country because in Russia very small salary and I need sold my civic.

Now I have good salary and I happy but I very miss my civic
