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
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
Liquid filled Fuel pressure guage *i cant remember the name right now*
Omni power test pipe
2 1/4 inch piping, no resonator
Skunk2 mega power muffler
Skunk 2 intake manifold
s2000 Throttle body
Hondata intake manifold gasket
Integra Type-R Cams, micropolished Intake cam
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
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..

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!

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

im actually in the process of cleaning the car......im just doing a nice wetsand to get out some marks that have been there for years....i dont know what from, then polishing it, then wax it again...its not gonna shine extremely well, but it will be straight.
Im surprised my paint is as good as it is, the previous owners did not take care of the car AT ALL......and the fenders are mis matched colors, to.....i cant wait to paint the car
