New life...

*This is a very good story. I highly suggest you read it because I put great effort into typing it for you* :)

I'd first off like to thank Kris for taking the time to help me out with swapping the new motor into my Civic this past weekend. I'm not going to say what it is that I swapped in, so don't bother asking. It was a fun evening, moments here and there were a little blurred, due to the fact that we pulled an all nighter to do it. Overall a fun experience nonetheless. I won't lie either, Kris did the majority of the work, but I can honestly say, I make one hell of a flash light holder :biggrin:.

So, I was able to take the Civ home without any problems, and I knew Saturday night was going to be a welcoming night for the Civ. Which it surely did turn out to be one. I ventured up to State St. where I always find myself on Saturday nights. It was 10 PM and the local traffic was beginning to die down. This is when most of the so called "racers" come out. I had made one round through State St. and not to long after a challenger soon approached. A very sleek looking black Altima (Latest Gen) came along my side. Astonished, inside I took note to a car full of very cute blondes. Well, unfortunately, they seemed to young, so I didn't try to make any advances but just smiled. They all waved back. Then took off. But, they slowed down back to my side. Hmmmm...let's go.

Surprisingly, they wanted to race. What the hell I figured this would be my first challenge with the new motor. Why not chance it. The passenger, yelled out "On 3!". I nodded. We were already going 40 mph so I dropped it down to second and kept pace. "One! Two! Three!" WWWWAAAARRRRRGGGGHHHHHHH!! I took a single carlenght lead, then hit 3rd gear at 7500 rpm (holy shit 7500 rpm!). I leaned forward a bit and noticed they were still in my blind spot. Continued up, and took notice again, they were back 3 carlengths. At that moment I noticed I was nearing 90 and decided that that was a little too fast for the local cops to let go for warning. I slowed down, and the gals did also. They came to my side, and I waved and smiled. They did the same, and they tried again for another run. I repeated the same run, and then they turned around. Nice...

About 20 minutes later I sprung my chance at very nice Iroc-Z. Black, gold wheels, and the Iroc-Z decal was in gold as well. Very clean. The dude noticed me looking, thus, he dropped it and took off. I smirked. Looked very sluggish. Probably wasn't running to greatly. Meh...I'll take a stab. I creeped up slowly, and he looked over at me again. Gave me the thumbs down, and smiled. I pointed forward, and he nodded and smirked. 45 mph ( I love starting at 45 BTW) and I dropped to second. The Civ whined, he and I took off. As I figured, he wasn't running smoothly, and at the end of 2nd I was 1 1/2 cars up, and he was still trying, so I popped it into third and hit 70 finishing it off 2 lenghts ahead. He came back and I gave him the thumbsup. He smirked at me again, nodded slightly, and dropped back. Feeling pretty good by now.

It was nearing Midnight, and State was dying down. So, I made my final run, and turned around. A grand prix and Civic seemed to be going at just as I turned around. They flew past me, and I heard the exhuast of the Civic buzzing as they went by. They caught a red light, so I caught up, and was rolling down the middle of them, but the light changed and they took off. Time to play a little catch up. The Grand Prix was busting the Civic's ass (not mine :naughty:) and I was slowly catching up, I passed the other Civic, and caught the Grand Prix (mid 90's). I looked for a GTP badge, but all I could see was the light peeling of where the badge should have been. So, I figured it had to be. The other Civic (4 dr lx) came rolling up along the left side of me, while the GTP was on my right. Threeway, yummy.

We passed an intersection, just making sure we were clear of cops. The GTP yelled over to me "THIRD HONK!" I waved, and looked to the Civic driver. He heard him and nodded. *HONK*HONK* and then there was a pause for about 5 secs. I looked over then *HONK*. Dirty bastard, he started to take off. A quick reaction and I dropped to 2nd quickly, and took chase. The 4dr quickly fell back behind us, atleast 3 lenghts, while I started to climb on the GTP. Took a moment, but by 80 I passed him up and shut down at 95 mph. My need to win took over me, and I didn't clearly think to slow down. But adrenaline takes over after a certain point. Meh. Anyway. They GTP driver pulled up and waved for me to pull over. The Civic came along too. We pulled into some grocery store parking lot and the GTP passenger literally asked me 21 questions. They asked me to pop the hood, but I wouldn't :evillol:. Just said there was a swap, and a few "bolt ons", nothing special. The Civic driver just smiled, and complimented me. Said I had a very fast Civic. Never had that compliment before. Seriously.

I went home with satisfaction. Not being able to drive drove me nuts. This night was literally the best night I have ever had. It was very refreshing and cleansing. I hope for new and better things to come along. This more than likely was the best weekend I've had in a long time. Once again, thanks to kris. He taught me many new things, including how to swap a motor. I also realized that power tools fucking own. A much greater appreciation for them :). Expect some great stories for the future too.

So...What engine did you swap in? :D

Good shit! When will you let the secret out?

NEVER!! :evillol:

Well, its still NA becuase you're still member number one!, lol.

And you may as well break down and say what engine you swapped! I mean you're going to get asked by everyone and their mom!

And besides, you could tell me and I still wouldn't know what engine you swapped, lol! All of those number/letter combinations that import engines use don't mean jack shit to me!

Anyhow, nice runs. I hope you atleast let the engine set and idle awhile before you flogged it like that, lol. And it might would be a good idea to change the oil in it again, you know, just becuase its probably rebuilt or new.

the 7500 rpm was a big hint. i'm guessing you got a B15C in there. so this does turn out to be waay faster then your old sohc lump. now your dads SL is dead.

3rd gear at 7500 rpm (holy shit 7500 rpm!)

B16. Way to cover up a secret. :loser:

ok so if you wont tell us what engine you did drop? can u tell us waht engines you didnt drop :thumbsup:

NEVER!! :evillol:

pffft woosie :p :iceslolan



J/K

But then again i begin to believe you arent goin to tell it cause you want the people get very excited about it just as you are, isn't it?

Couldn't blame ya there.






Oh common, just tell us dude :tongue:

If you beat a GTP then you can def take your dads 3000GT now! well since your not gonna tell us the engine at least give us a number, any fucking number. new 1/4 times, new HP, new MPG whatever!

playing these bs games again.... :flipa:

Guess it feels good to get the new and improved civ on the road... but just like everyone else, im curious to know what engine is in there...mabe Kris will tell us

good runs man congrats on the kills. Ill keep reading just incase you let the secret out

And you may as well break down and say what engine you swapped! I mean you're going to get asked by everyone and their mom!


Nah, my mom really doesn't care. But regardless, nice kills. Now quit being a prick :biggrin: and tell us what you dropped in!

b15C, what kinda honda does that come in?

7500 rpm redline? is it an H22?

Nice kills. Congrats. on the new motor and I hope it brings you mucho kills and fun.

b18c comes from a gsr. a 5th gen lude h22 revs to 7500, but the forth gen revs to 7200. you can stretch both out to around 7900 though.

maybe he shifted early and he has a s2000 engine.

or a stroked LS1.

or a stroked LS1.

You would lose max revs after stoking an LS1 ;)

But anywho, congrats on the engine swap mang. Glad to see at least SOMEONE is having fun in their car, I know I'm not :mad:

Now if it was a destroked ls1, like a 377 or something...oh baby... I doubt you could stuff one in that engine bay though...hah

Now tell us what engine is in there before i personally drive out there and make you tell us!!




Ah, i wouldn't do that i'm to lazy....

:grinno:. After being called several names in this thread I'm not going to say. Besides, I wasn't going to tell you anything, so it doesn't matter. You guys will just have to live with the fact that I won't tell you. Kris does know, but he won't tell you either. We're cool like that. So, quit asking me, cause you'll never know! You can pester me, and call me all the names you want, but really, I still won't tell.

Am I prick? Yes. Am I a jerk? Yep. Am I the biggest fucking douche in the world? You better believe it! Will I ever tell you guys? Hell no! Just know that I won't lie to you guys with my racing stories. You may not know what I have, but hey, I've never lied to you guys before. I just tease, never lie. Well, only a little. BUT JUST LIVE WITH IT!! :)

Seeing as in other threads you've mentioned B16s and that you are set on getting a B16. And that you gave info on where you bought your B16 in other threads where people asked about where to buy Honda motors...

I'm going to bet it's the B16 you've been talking about for the last... ohhh 4 to 5 months now.:thumbsup:

Judges?


:disappoin Thanks for playing, but I'm sorry Red, that was incorrect. I do have this lovely parting gift for you though.

:bs:

its not a b16, i'm 100% sure its not, so i'll just assume its a B18C ( the GSR variation )

Fine i'm boycotting all your threads then...



Edit- :tongue:

Fine you want to play hard-ball?


Fine, don't play games in my forum. PM when you're ready. Till then this thread is closed.

I don't care the answer, I won't let you play around with the members and run a thread multiple pages for an answer. We've done this before, I stopped it then. I'll stop it now.




EDIT: Re-Opened. Talked to Civ in PM's. He's just not going to tell you guys...


Continue on.

b16, b18c...ehh its still slow so who cares?

why even post anymore, no one wants to hear about two slow cars racing anymore...L8!

LOL^^^^ :grinno: :grinno:

i bet that killed civ's mood. oh well, congrats on the new engine...even though its a HUGE secret. go spank your dad's 3KGT.

Seriously...what makes you think anyone cares what fucking engine you have? What's the big deal with your stupid swap? You're not special, you're not the first one that has done a swap, and you not telling anyone is pointless other than the fact that it's still a Honda.

nice move on the swap, now a lil bit of boost and we cant make fun of your car that much any more.. good job man a civic with a swap is still not that slow.
i say he fooled us all and he has a rb28det...

What model civic is it? unless its a hatch which I dont believe it to be then its probably still slow as balls :)

Why the hell did you even post a fucking stupid ass comment like that. The fact that you made such a disrespectful post to me shows how fucking low/stupid/retarded you are. I could care less of what your opinion is about me or what swap I did. Really though, clear your fucking mind, stay the fuck out of my threads, and furthermore, if you ever, and I DO MEAN EVER, make a disrespectful comment like that to me or any other members, I will see to it that you don't stay here much longer than a few days. You apparently have no respect towards members here. I don't give a shit who you think you are, or where you think you stand. In other words, I expect an apology. I've explained it already to these members that I won't tell. Or rather, I won't make it publicly known. If you care that much PM me then. YOU however, can back off from me.

I hardly ever get pissed like this, so I apologize for the language used here. It's just few of those out there that show no sign of intelligence/respect really set me off. Such as ---. Close this thread. No need to keep it open because some assholes like that are not worth the time and effort. --- if you have any problems, PM me. I'll gladly put you in your place.

It's a 95 Ex Coupe. I could care less for your opinion as well. I know you own a Honda as well. Congrats. But really, if you are trying to stir up trouble with me, it's highly unlikely. Your comments are purely redundant. You think honda's are slow, great. Save the comment. It isn't needed. Don't like the idea that I won't tell you, good. Don't post then. Just pass over the thread like it doesn't exist. Comprende? Not that hard. Personally, I don't like the fact that you feel the need to disrespect others as well. I have yet to see you show any sign of respect towards anyone, and really, that's your choice not to. But even so, your disrespectful attitude is not welcomed, surely not by me, and more than likely, not by most members here either.

wow...the new motor made someone think they are king shit....

Nope, just the fact that you really are disrespectful. The motor has nothing to do with my attitude. Your comments however do. That is why I made the remark. I know my place and where I stand as far as racing goes. If I thought I was king shit, I probably wouldn't be here. I know how to act, and I know when to hold my tongue. Apparently you don't.

Ha.. wow... ok guys...


Lets cool it... no more bitching like little girls... So just consider this a warning... kewl it down.

K, Thanks. :thumbsup:


Don't make me close this thread a second time... make me actually have to work n shit... that'd make me upset. :mad:

i have a question though seriously. you're a good guy, well from what i know of you. and i was just wondering why you dont want people to know what engine you have? normally when i modify my car i want people to know. that way when i tell a story about a race, people know what went on...

It's just my nature. But really, you guys know what went on already. That is unless you didn't read the story. In which case, I guess you wouldn't know what was going on. But I stated earlier, you can PM if you want to know that bad. I'm not going to make it publicly known, but I will tell you if you ask politely ;).

Sorry Red, don't want to make you lift a finger now :). That would just be rude of me. I've cooled down now. Huuuggghhh. Gooozfraabaa.

i think you just want attention.

this thread has gotten way off topic, some people got all pissy becasue hes not saying what he has, you guys claim that your not upset from him not telling them, yet you guys were the ones who actually stated something. then it turned into a whole flame war. there was alot of disrespectful people here though. if you dont like something, just keep it to yourself. and civichb has a point, if you have a B16 or even a gsr engine in your civic, your still not that fast, no need to hide it, i personally don't care what you have. i already have a good idea what you have.

Hahaha I Know What Motor He Has And Yooooouuuuuuu Don't!!!!!!!

<creapy brittney murphy voice> i'll never teeellllll

honestly it's pretty fucking stupid to not tell what swap you did...seriously, this is supposed to be a racing community. I really don't care what swap you did, whatever swap it is has been done many times before, and I doubt any of them acted like such a prick after they swapped.

And don't cry about anyone coming to ur thread, the title is "new life", people are going to be somewhat interested in what you swapped, that's the point of this thread.

But whatever, if making people on AF guess your engine gives you a hard-on, that's your thing, have fun with that.

Holy hell. Apparently you don't get what I've stated 3 times by now. If you care that much PM ME! I've already told a few people. You want to cry about the fact I won't tell, then go ahead. Several people here already know. And no Tat you dont have any idea what I have. It's not even a B series motor, it's not an H series motor. It's my right not to say anything at all. BUT PM ME IF IT'S KILLING YOU THAT MUCH. Once again, pm me if you care. Capiche? I stated in the beginning of this thread that I won't tell you guys. Atleast publicly I don't have to make it known. Apparently several of you guys just like to whine over the fact that I haven't said anything. Red knows what I have. Chex knows what I have. Kris knows what I have. EPS knows what I have. They asked, I told. Get the idea? I sure hope so. Thread needs to be closed.

Well I'm gonna spell the beans...I had a camera and snapped a pic of the engine. Now everyone knows, so just don't fuck with him.

Dammit Gringo! You spoil everything. There you have it, the secret is out :biggrin:. You all know now, so no more drama.

Glad to hear that you got your swap done, although I did enjoy hearing the stories about how slow your car used to be :). You made them so entertaining. As for what motor you have, it's your perrogative to keep it to yourself. I personally have no idea what the difference is between a bc12, ac886, dskn98590743543, so it makes no difference to me.

Have fun with the car.

Rob

damn you and your K20A!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :rofl:

so its not a B motor, but he only revs to 7500 yet K20's rev to 8000. i would have to say he swapped in another D series. plus K20 swaps are not cheap since those engines spins clock wise and the traditional honda engines spins counter clock wise, not to mention the wiring harness mess that hes goin to have to deal with.

Aren't D series motors SOHC? I had a JDM D15B7 swap done and that thing was a JOKE. Even Burntrice would have been a close race. I doubt it's a D series, although it would probably be the most practical one.

i know D series are only sohc but i believe the v-tecs found in the older Si's can rev to 7500. but its also the most practical one to swap in. ahh the hell with it, i'll just pm him.

lol, even if it revved to 30,000 rpms, the U.S. D15B only had 100 hp, and the JDM one had 127...at the crank. I think the D16s had identical numbers. He deffinitely wouldn't have been able to keep up, let alone beat a GTP with that little swap.

Tell us what it is after you PM him :smooch:
