agree youll be happier

 

MOTOR....def. dude.

 

I have a 98 DX HB and I'm about to swap in a JDM B18C-R. After that I'm doing the JDM ITR 5 lug conv with tein ss-p (its under development) or tein flex with bronze or white TE37's. Its an awesome set up. If i were u I would get the motor first. Get that out the way cause its the most difficult and it will please you alot more. Good luck

 

cool
if i was cazy i could spend all the money i have and get a b18c5 but i think the b18 with some mods will do nice for now

 

sounds like a plan

 

how much are u gonna spend on the GSR? and what kind of mods are u looking into? before u dive into the GSR motor, look at the b18c1 vs b18c5 post.

 

i got 5500 to spend if i ge the b18c1 i will have money left over to get nice coilovers and mybe some mods i/h/e vafc

 

yea i konw the c5 is so much nicer but dont wont to spend all my bank on it

 

Coilovers and Rota Grids. You can not appreciate a swap unless you have the suspension to equal it's caliber.

 

cool
i think im gonna do the k20 and just get it over with jk i wish
b18 sounds nice
just take it one step at a time

 

gotta live up to your name right b18c1guy?

 

of course they say motor

cuz that motor swap costs 3x as much as the teins..
and probly 2x as much as the wheels.

go with what you can afford.. but if you can afford any,
then yeh.. motor.. then teins.. then wheels

 

Whats your main goal for building the car? If its racing go with the motor...my choice would be the C5 or the jdm r.

The R motor gets hacked on by a some people on this board saying its to pricey but it aint. I got lucky and me and my bud ordered two from japan motors and got them for 4200 shipped each.

My bud called the guy that sold them to us to pick up some parts and they told him he got fired for selling them at that price.

Anyways...if you want the car for autoxing get the suspension and some wheels..maybe not those particular wheels but some dont cost so much.

Then save up again and eventually get the motor.

Whatever you do, do it right the first time it will save you lots of headaches and cash.

 

why not get an LS or B20 and get some tiens and cheaper wheels?

 

thanxs for all the replys
o i have lived up 2 my name got a b18 in the eg
but got a 00 cx hatch with only 27k miles for 5500 so i had to jump on it fast

 

i think im going the motor way first cause i know i can get the motor
and then save back up for the wheels and coilovers
i would love to get the c5 but that will kill my bank

 

i will post pics soon to show honda tech what i have done so far
stay tuned
never know i might get the k24/vtec lol jk

 

motor.
