Hitorikos Civic

[hitoriko]

Will be watching the progress of this car. Hitoriko, when you thinking of getting the cam?

when funds allow! LOL

maybe by May (a bday present to myself!) - hopefully by then i can fix up the rest of the things - the engine isn't a great concern at the moment mostly just the suspension and exterior, it shits me having the chips and scratches so i'll fix them first

after buying the car, RW, Rego Transfer & Putting on My Custom Plates & Insurance i might be left with about 500 - 600 so theres the front respray and maybe better springs/shocks

just have to do it slowly :P

Yeah that's what I did Hito.It's taken me 4 yrs to get to where I am and it's been an Awesome journey.I always just purchased car parts when I had some spare funds.

great move staying with D series motor for fun of see what it can make not for fact it will beat a B16a and even if you choose to stay with the D series there alot info on some of the US Honda forums that will help you
And the cost of rebuilding a D series would be cheaper than swap a series any day

i myself have a D series in my AUDM crx gen2 with D16a8 (zc if it was JDM), i have spent alot of time think about spend the dollar B series swap and though it waste of dollars for street car that only drive daily and weekends which is what i mainly use it for

i have done a few mods to my d16a8 and got good power back, nice crx and it still a d series
So far i only done basic mods intake (pod filter in custom cold intake box), aftermarket headers and exhaust
i do plan to rebuild my motor soon with few bit i bought , high comp pistons, a set of stage 2 cams, new rings ,bearings, seals, water pump and few other goodies including a aftermarket ECU

i think why do we need spend $4-8+k for B seres swap just get 80-90kw if we can spend $2-3K and have the same fun and show that you keep the D series

UPDATE:

WOO, recieved my headlight covers and front strut brace in the mail yesterday and today i went and took it to get a RWC inspection here is the list of things i have to do:

- Fix gearbox linkage because its loose, Hard to select gears
- Rear wheels require alignment
- Replace Sump gasket
- RHF driveshaft boot split
- 3 Seat belts require replacement as not retracting
- Side indicators not flashing (i think this is the globes)
- Remove front mud guards and engine splash tray to pass height of 10cm
- RHR Hatch strut requires replacement
- Top Radhose requires replacement
- Exhaust noisy

so as you can see not very big jobs at all, most of these i can do myself so monday morning i will order everything through work :P

Also i had a closer look at the wheels and here is a link to them, although mine are a staggered set and have a polished lip LINK

Hey man, quite a list there but yeah fortunately nothing too big.

You doing it yourself? And where do you work?


What condition was the car when you bought it btw? Sounds like it needs some work.



EDIT: Just checked out the rims. Very hot.

[hitoriko]

I work as a spareparts guy for peugeot/VW
Yeah most i can do myself these are the things im planning to do myself:
- RHF Driveshaft boot replacement
- 3 Seatbels
- Side indicators
- Remove the undertray and mudflap
- hatch struts
- Rad hose (and i'll do a full service)
- Get a cannon silencer

The sump gasket, Linkages & wheel alignment i'll get when doing the RWC
