Mmmm,that makes me feel nice

There is life in the D series yet in Australia I know the guy building this setup has been in contact with Robert@Bisimoto so who knows what is going to happen in the new year.

I know I know,I mean,bisi has proven the incredible potential in the SOHC.It's only a matter of time before someone here does it.

I've never driven a b-series,I know I would love it.I know I love the d.

I wish the scene was established here like in the US,everyone helping each other and getting there rides done,on the cheap!

Yo, D-series heads.... Wake up!

Even when you do manage to polish a turd & it ends up really fast...
At the end of the day, it's still shit.

This thread is too funny....

(Don't take offence... post is in jest)

No Offence Taken

I Love the fact that I get great pleasure out of something that is shit to someone then hehe

**Riced_Civic** · 31-12-2009 06:54 AM

yeah, i have no other option in building up this motor or swapping in a K series,
only reason is that i find it more easier on the funds this way.
its also gonna be great when i kill people on the track and they just find out its a D-series
so i dont really take offence to d-series shit talk.

With that sort of attitude you could say... why spend 20k + on a Kseries engine conversions on a FWD 15 year old 5k Honda civic... At the end of the day its still a civic. Ment for grocery shopping

i think he means there is no point of d series all motor .... just for dreamers, waste of money and time

**bennjamin** · 31-12-2009 11:27 AM

i too thought the idea of building a D series. (d16a8) - had wet dreams about quad throttle bodies , big cams etc.

I grew out of it after driving in a dead standard ITR and getting back in my 96kw slug of a car. D series was the fore-runner to the B16a...and thus the world of high revving strong 1.8-2.0 honda engines.
That is , the d16a8 ( ZC) was the ONLY d series engine ever worth considering for anything. All other D series engines were always designed to pull around small cars for shopping or commuting

with all due respect, i think you should read adrians post and then my reply to it again. I dont disagree with either of you. i am saying if someone cannot justify wasteing money on a d16... then how can they justify dumping shitloads of money into any 15 year old civic/crx/intega.... at the end of the day thats all they will be.... or a "polished turd" haha

Its not the cover that is important...its the power within

Engine is totally different to the body of the car itself - this topic is in regards to performance , longevity , reliability and bang for buck.
