A perfect balance between power,weight and handling.

I gotta tell ya,I'm gettin' damn close

Just a nice lil' bump in power with the cam and the lightweight pulleys to help it rev a bit quicker and I will have myself a Very nice package indeed.

I love the auto and wouldn't swap it for manual and I don't want a big power gain.I was gonna sell the cam but have decided to install it.

So U see,cars can be a lot more than just power plant.I have enough power,the cam will just be an extra goodie

I've sat in cars that plant ya back in ya seat etc and it does nothing for me.Take me to a twisty mountain road and my car will rip that sh!t up! and it will be one of the funnest drives you'll have because the complete package is there and it's workin!!

The brakes are strong,the car is solid and feels like solid 1 unit.

If I were to add more power that would just throw the whole package out.

I bought the b18c with BIG plans.I was gonna make the whole package to match the built up race spec b18c.Plans fell through to lack of money but that's great cause I have found EXACTLY what I wanted in MY d16y4 auto!

GREED led me to the b18c when EVERYTHING that I wanted was sitting right there in my engine bay THE WHOLE TIME!

I calibrated the voltage on the tps and it gave me back exactly what I was after - Free reving,low end power.

Man,calibrating the tps SAVED ME!

Stoked I figured out about it and how to do it,pretty proud of that

I was gonna sell the cam but have decided to sell it.

lol..

yeah thats all true beeza has taking me for a drive and i love the handling, power n brakes very nice. i love it well done beez

^^ Aha lolz - That pretty much sums up how I felt a lot of the time - IN 2 MINDS LOL

I need to have a lie down

Thanks Timmy! It's been an awesome journey,it really has! always changin' my plans n' stuff,feelin out what I want,what works best for me etc.

Also with my car being a sedan there's a bit of a weight factor that makes the car FUN to drive,a little bit more challenging but in no way is it a hinderance.

"WORK WITH WHAT YA GOT!"

I read that in someones sig on d-series and it has stuck with me since!

i dunno how fun it would be to drive a automatic around corners :S
Do you pop it in D or do you shift 1,2,3,D lol? forget about heel and toe lol....
All the automatic gearboxes are laggy as hell, they cant change and feel better than a manual...

**beeza** · 31-01-2010 02:49 PM

hahaha awesome!

Nah man,just leave it in D and concentrate on the lines.

Well I have a ball.A lotta FUN! Now that the car is finding it's mark or more that I'm finding the mark in the car (Mark = Balance

)

I only left foot brake now too or I use either L or R foot for braking,now THAT'S balance!

I'm all for working with what you got (mainly only when people start talking about d series engines lol)

but the auto thing would be a killer, its just gas, brake, repeat

i love this thread , because its exactly what HE wants to do and not the typical "sheep VTEC-i get into debt for my b or k series" thread. Leave the kid alone let him mod his car however he wants.

**Riced_Civic** · 31-01-2010 03:56 PM

Go brett, D's represent. lol

I would have Loved to go B or K but its was 2 much money for what i wanted to do for the K and i couldnt have put the B in so i boosted my D.

i love what i have done with it and i dont regret it.

but now that i had a taste of power im looking for a new car car that will produce what i want.

Keeping the civic as a daily as it will always put a smile on my face as its my 1st car.

aimed at everyone here viewing or replying that thinks this is a waste of a thread because a waste of a setup !

**will13** · 31-01-2010 04:30 PM

Personally i think its a good thread, its helped me a lot. Nothing more irritating than seeing "why build a d, just get a b" !!

But I was referring to getting the AEM tru power lightweight pulleys for a/c and p/s.

I believe these will free up some power and allow the car to rev more free-er?

Did U have them at all Luke?

Hey brett

Didn't bother modding the a/c and p/s pulleys but then again I didn't have a N/A D Auto so i'd say every little bit would help
