HEY GUYS!!
as some of you may know i own a 96 spec JDM ITR with a Jackson Racing Supercharger producing around 180kw, its a great car, and it is my daily and i wouldn't swap it for the world!
however, age is starting to catch up on her, and after a recent run in with a truck running up my backside, time to take her off the road for a small time to fix her up and get a few little things done.
planning on re bushing the car, tending to a few rattles around the car ( mainly missing clips in interior ) i just want to make it as factory as i can, as in putting all the factory trims on completely, re route hoses in the engine bay so it looks nice neat and tidy,
and of course the car's rear end damage to be fixed! (hopefully goes in this month)
Basically i was 18 when i got this car, and admittedly i did some things wrong, not taking enough time and car doing things, and i would like to fix all these things!
SOO! i needed another car, plan always was to sell my B20Vtec, and buy a nice little daily, something with 4 doors, nice and comfortable, was good on fuel, wouldn't break every 5 minutes.... obviously needed to buy another honda!
after waiting months and months and not being able to selll the b20.. i decided i would keep it and put it into something!
CRV!!! it had 4 doors a boot, and i could take it 4wd-ing! after a long search of trying to find a good project base, i found nothing. so that was short lived!
maybe a civic! within a month of searching, one came up! it was a VTI sedan! with an unfamiliar engine d15z1?
unfortunately it was a 2sus car... had stickers and literally NO suspension in the rear. 49999999 speaker holes all cut into the doors and pods shoved everywhere! yuuuuckkk!
i refused to buy the car with no suspension so they went and purchased factory suspension, and i made them remove all the 2 sus garbage off it.
so later that week i got busy ripping the engine out and placing in the B20V and had it in and mounted that day :)
unfortunately it was my last day of weekend. so i had a bit of a delay, wasn't until this week i actually got stuck into it and finished it all off, only waiting on a few more items until i can say its officially finished in terms of the engine conversion!
ive done a few other little things to the civic, such as ASR subframe brace, CHROME ecu, JDM type R suspension up front, will be doing rears aswell soon. i dont intend on putting coilovers in this one, just want a nice daily while i fix integra up :)
just wanted to thank a few people
