EK Engine swap to b18c or sell to get another crx with b16a

**THE 2BSEEN** · 28-09-2011 08:28 PM

Hey just want some advise
So i have a 97 ek cxi civic. also have a 89 crx with b16a
After playing with the crx I am loving vtec soo much.
So ive been thinking about selling the civic to buy another crx.
But now im thinking of doing a engine swap to the civic and keep it.
The civic is stock with a few mods

I have spent alot of money on the ICE and managed to get it sponsored by pioneer.
The ICE can produce 135db and feels awesome, with every beat your hair will move and feels wicked
But i want to start another project.

Soo either sell or keep.
If i keep it i might look at a b18c swap or something

Any ideas would be good

i do have $9500 on it with not many replys

Get a dc2r and :

Add a sunroof
kit it out with a nice Alfa romeo body kit
20" Chromies
Retrim recaro seats to leather
Add neon lights under the carriage
Bonnet scoop
Tint windows to a sparly Green colour
etc

dude who cares about the engine lol... If you can cruise past chicks at the shopping centre and crank your subs maybe open your boot so they can see the 135db waves coming at them! then just turn your subs off and hit vtec (make sure no ones crossing the zebra stripes LOLROFLMAO) 1st and 2nd gear!! SOHC vtec is good enough for that so just get a d16!

Then when you park open your sissor doors, slap on some NOS stickers and sit on the bonnet like the maddest sickest dude in town. THEN... go to super cheap and buy a frangipani air freshner!!!!!!!!!

Make sure you do a build thread cause i defz wanna see how this turns out!

Or just do a k20 swap like said

LOL ok i do need to say most of the work done to the civic was pre 20s. then i bought my hq, crx and 300zx tt.
So now i will either sell it or do the engine swap.
I built the boot being able to put back to stock

Hi,
i know your CRX all too well.
Are you the female owner or was it sold to you by her.

I tell ya those were the days that being around CRX's and the owners was fun.
Being part what was considered the "WONDER YEARS"
