i haven't done it but i was thinking how different it would be. It would be a sleeper cause nobody ever fixes up a 1st gen. The only thing about those cars i hate(i had one) is the fact that the front suspension has springs and torsion bars instead of a coilover spring and shock design. My car had worn outr torsion bars and it bottomed out on every little bump. But anyway, it would be cool to see a nice 1st gen Integra.

I have seen that site before, almost all those cars are either stock, or have a bunch of useless mods. Trust me i know. When do you ever see a 1st Gen. looking tight just driving down the street? NEVER. Also, your links don't work and you didn't answer the original post. Sorry.

links work when i click on them.........copy and paste...........if they dont work. A lot of peeps dont know how to fix up the G1's......i personally like the G1 body style and dont follow the heard of sheep to G2's and 3's.....my suspension is far from stock and i never bottom out. Lightsped 27.5mm bars in front, ground controls in rear, tokico illuminas all the way around. i have a site with an all Mugen Quint intega.

Alright buddy sorry. I didn't say anything bad about your car, the only thing i said was i didn't like the torsion bars up front. I personally tink it would be cool to do a B series in a 1st gen. Chill out dude.

What axles could i use for this swap?
the old ones are to long (92 gsr axles possibily?)

and would this swap even be worth it on an automatic,
what all would it take to convert it to manual?

any VTec in these cars will be better than the ole D16.......there is a guy with a G1 CRX and a Auto VTec and it rock n rolls......axles.....you need to use hasport custom complete axles or the axles shafts. if you can find a complete B16A with auto tranny then go for it......manual swap will take time a quite a few parts.
