I was thinking about this based on another post.

I figure there are two ways to go with a car, either drag or roadracing/auto-x. Well, there is show, but I figure that most of us actually use our cars

EG, EK, it doesn't matter. All prices have to be market, and the 12k has to include the purchase of the car.

Have fun and be realistic.

 

this is what i would do.... and what i would want:

a daily driver

99-00 black ek hatch (prolly buy it with no motor if i could find it to save money)
b18c1
bored to 2.0
resleeved and built to boost at 20lbs or so


maybe some jdm goodies outside like a cf lip, duckbill, hood..
then slap some rota c-8s on that beotch and im happy


edit: i know i should have thought it over more but i got excited

buy my bro's, slap on a revhard turbo kit...run 11's all day and stop on a dime and look good all the while with some extra cash left over!

 

92 4 door civic, GSR motor, d/p nitrous kit. Just perfect for that sleeper look Still have money to invest into the market

 

yummy h22 5lug right? built to boost?

i would if i could

 

Buy a shell 92-00

B18c5...5 Lug ITR conv...Tein suspension. Maybe a few toda goodies here and there. If i have some cash left Recaro. Im not into drag racing :/ . Im more into autocrossing.

 

96 ek hatch
tein ss coilovers
rota slipstreams, you choose tires
wilwood brake kit
b18c5 w/ new cams bored to 2.0l

 

This is what I'd do. Find a high milage white EK. Slap an jdm h22a, zeal suspension, bolt-ons, ctr spoiler, and some old school mugen wheels, the 14" man hole cover look-a-like wheels. If I had some left over I'd get itr interior... But then agian I wouldn't drive this on a track, well drag a few times...

If I was going to build a straight track car, the list would be pretty long, I'm going to have to think about this...

 

fine...

94 Si hatch, B18C5 swap, Drag III turbo kit, 5 lug with champ white wheels, Tein HA coilovers, stock everything else...Mugen f/r strut bars

 

92-95 sedan
jdm type-s h22 with bolt-ons and cams
5 lug
Tein RA
jdm rear seats
balck recaro's and other small interior stuff

 

Here is what you do:
------------------------------------------------
2nd gen CRX - $1000
a nicely built up b18b w/ tranny - $3500
a sweet custom turbo kit - $3000
wheels/susp/brakes - $2000
int, im, exh, test pipe - $1000
quaife lsd + cm stg4 - $1500
TOTAL $12000
------------------------------------------------
Thats what I would do at least.

 

well said!

 

EG with frost white paint inside and out
Mugen RnR
CF duckbill and CF lip
JIC suspension
H22 W/ LSD and 100 shot direct port nitrous.

 

if i had 12 grand laying around i prolly wouldnt get a civic....but if i did

eg hatch..prollyaround.........3,000
b16 swap.............................2200
custom turbo set up...............2500
nice coilovers, strut bars and sway bars.......1800
roll cage............................500
sparco race seat................700
konig heliums with falken azenis tires....900

thats about how my 12 grand would be spent...on a lil of everything

get a CTR from JAPAN and it will handle good, look good, and be kinda fast all at the same time. (but thats just me) ( O YEAH i have a CTR lol )

 

put a type R swap into my car with real mugen RnR's and get a 240 for a drifter beater....

 

I might do something like this:



With:

Body:

1992 Honda Civic CX
Completely color changed from Milano Red to Vogue Silver Metallic
Body completely smoothed over
Brand new front fenders, new front and rear bumpers, new hood, all brand new O.E-Honda exterior trims including mirrors, side skirts, roof rails, front lip, door sash and belt moldings, hood cowl piece, windshield moldings, rear 1/4 glass trims, washer nozzles
O.E Honda antenna block-off plate
New headlights
Fake Vision Amber corners

Powerplant:

1998 Integra Type R B18C5 engine
AEM 99-00 Civic Si intake

CarSound 2.5'' cat
Tanabe Super Medallion Racing Spec exhaust (the full stainless one)

Kenji-spec P28 ECU (reprogrammed for optimal ITR specs)
Integra GS-R double-wide O.E radiator

Transmission:

1998 Integra Type R S80 LSD transmisson
ClutchNet 6-puck sprung hub disc with double diaphram pressure plate
ATS 4.929FD (now broken, but I will get another!)
Tranny was torn down and completely rebuilt with all-new O.E Honda bearings, brand new 3rd gear synchro, and seals
DC Sports short shifter (flat-blacked for O.E look)
Spoon Shift **** y0!!!

Suspension and brakes:

Koni Yellows
Eibach ERS coil-over springs with custom rates - 425F 550R
Integra GS-R 14mm rear swaybar
All four corners of Integra GS-R suspension arms including LCAs, spindles, including rear and larger front disc brakes

Intgera GS-R 4040 prop valve

Wheels/tires:

1992-1995 Civic Si/EX cluster with 9000rpm tach
1998 Integra Type R steeing column with tilt and leather-wrapped steering wheel
O.E Honda radio block-off plate
A/C block off button
No carpet, rear seats, headliner, door panels, interior plastics, etc.



All for $12,000.00 excluding labor y0!

 

id buy a ek or eg...put every mugen or spoon product on it i could buy, and then only enter import show off.

 

hiddin bragging?

 

hatch or crx as cheap as possible
with good body - 2500
itr swap + pistons & cams - 5500
i/h/e & cat - 1000
susp & wheels - 1500
Hondata & some tuning - 1000
strip it and buy recaros - 500 (yeah right)

 

Unfortunately I forgot to mention that I'm the deal king. I'll give you guys quick rundown of all of my stuff - 100% LEGIT though!

Totalled entire 1998 USDM ITR with title - $4,000.00. Sold out the 5-lug and other useless **** and basucally had less than $3,000.00 in the B18C5 swap

1992 Civic CX with B16A (first-gen) and $1,200.00 HalTech E6K - $2,500.00. After selling off the ECU and parting the swap out with HASport mounts I had $300.00 in the entire rolling chassis!

Paint and body - $3,147.00 - I didn't flake out on that ****.

Integra GS-R Type D black seats - FREE. Friend who runs a salvage yard felt compelled to give them to me.

Koni Yellows and Eibach custom 425F 550R springs - $640.00 - bargain shoping at it's best! Brand new too!

Rota C8 with Azenis - $600.00 brand new

That's the bulk of the important ****.

 

You forgot to add the $5 bucks you spent on that unusual green paint on your valve cover.

Seriously. 92-95 hatchback...B series motor of your choice...All motor madness...The rest is up to you. The main ingredients must remain the same though.

You'll never find a worthy 96+ hatchback that won't absorb your budget. And the obnoxious ammount of parts available for the 92-95 chassis.

Or you could build the Jaeone dream show car. (I know he wants one)

 

i need a paint job.....car is still so sweet Tom

 

If I could do it all over again I would get a 91 CRX not a civic but more or less.

91CRX beat to ****
B16A1 new pistons, rods, sleeved with a custom turbo/ or Fully built NA monster
Tune with HONDATA 2 B
energy suspention bushings all over suspention
Kirk role cage or custom
Sparco racing seat and harness
get shift light *screw a tack dont need the attention*
get a decent brake upgrade nothing to crazy
some cheap *** rotas
sand and flat black the car @ the intercooler to keep it under rapps

In the end u would have a car most could not **** with and money in your pocket
