My sedan*lucy*

Well of course its not 3 months old....Buts its only been mine for 3 months, i figured i would post up some photos, of how the project has gone so far.
Seeing as how i have no job, and havent had one the past 3 months, it hasn't gone to far ha.

Day1 - Brought my baby home..All i did was trade my 88 Hatch shell for it. Had a d16a6 swap...


Day2 Suspension, and wheels


A week later, ordered my motor, and it got here 2 days. I got the call when i was at work, and did a little dance. ha


Set the motor up on the engine stand, and bolted everything i needed to on Smile


Then i had to drop my b16a block from my shell, and get that bitch out of my garage.
We didnt have an engine lift that day,ha


So finally about 3 weeks after i had my swap, i lost my job. And decided "hey, what a good time to do a motor swap!"
So.......it began



And i didnt feel like changing my oil, so i made my friend, that came to see what was up do it, ha


Then the next day i rolled out and snapped a few photos



Then a week later, i stopped rocking grids, and sat on some fat fives


Then a week later, i rocked my old HX's ha


Now im rocking fat fives again. They will be getting polished soon

yea i know, that picture is horrible. ha

But after i had the swap in,on July 15th, my clutch went out.. With less than 3,000 miles on it, just died....P.O.S clutch

So my car literally sat for another month, because i couldnt afford a clutch, and i had no way to drive.
Finally ig ot a transmission from a friend, for free, and a Competion Clutch from another buddy...So we put it all in my car, and come to find out, the transmission has no third gear AT ALL. The friend who gave it to me, had no idea. Sooooo now im rocking a transmission with not third gear, and im trying to find a clutch for a 1990 Ls transmission!
Hopefully soon i can throw my transmission back in, and be rocking out again.

Cars current mods are as followed
Obd1 B16a
Rywire Engine harness
Phearable.net Chipped ECU, with basemap
DC sports 4-2-1 ceramic header
Ebay Intake
AEM Fuel rail
AEM Fuel pressure regulator

Skunk2 mega power muffler
Skunk 2 intake manifold
s2000 Throttle body
Hondata intake manifold gasket

Skunk 2 springs, on stock shocks

Im pretty sure that's all, ha. There will be more coming.
By december at the lastest, ill be running 10-12psi, tuned by CFT
Then in janurary i will start my sleeved b16a build
Twisted Evil


And just to end this post, i will post up a couple pictures of my hatch, i had before the sedan




I only took it to the track once, and only did two pulls there.
My clutch had just been broken in and i didnt wanna fuck it up
The best time i had that night was a 14.7, with a HORRIBLE launch, and i missed 2nd gear. I missed 2nd gear both runs and got pissed, ha..
ME-B-N-ME

Very nice

I dunno if I wanna build and boost a Z6
or save up and swap in a C5 we will see  Very Happy

C-Rex

Sweet man..
Any hints or tips Ill be doing this next week Confused
JDQCIVIC4DR

nice set up! you can drive with out 3rd gear for a few months i did it to my other civic just rev high on 2nd gear then pop it in 4th. just be glad you got 5th gear. i drove 100 plus miles, about  hour drive on 4th gear on Saturday and Sunday at 6-7 rpm with the ac blasting surprisingly the motor didnt pop. i  been driving 4 months with out 5 gear. good luck with the tranny.
EvanFullwood

Yea hopefully ill be rocking a clutch with in the next week, for my other transmission..
Yea not having a third gear sucks, but it's driveable.. Im driving 3 hours to orlando friday morning, ha!
89civicracer

OUCH! that is going to suck. . on the highway. .probably not that bad. .In Orlando traffic. . I-4. . . you are going to be hating life!
EvanFullwood

ha, i can deal with no 3rd gear. The transmission im rocking now, has pretty short gearing, so its not soooo bad.
EvanFullwood

EF Sedan Enthusiast

EF Sedan Enthusiast

Here's what I would do if I had your sedan.  Get some clear JDM/EDM corners (or USDM from the junkyard for the time being).  Paint the bumpers, exterior trim and center garnish with the black trim paint then wash and wax that sucka up good Wink
