Your civic wasn't your daily driver, was it?!?
What happened to it?? :(

I saw it just a couple days ago actually when I bought his Neuspeed strut bar from him, but being his car, I won't say anymore about it.

Thanks for the discretion Matt, but thats ok. Yeah, my car is a daily driven show car... correction.. "was" :( I just pushed it too hard.. ran it too high. Once I get it working again.. no more high reving.. or at least not untill I get a new, fully built motor.

Aww, damn, that sux. I'm sorry. :(
Seems like a lot of people are having bad luck with their rides lately. I have 4 friends with their cars in the shop. :(

Well good luck with all of that. :)

Yep, I got off lucky with just a radiator problem.

What broke down in your car Silverbolt? Cylinder head warpage or something less serious?

Crank, bearings, connecting rods... changing these will need my motor pulled out... also need to drain, and replace all my fluids. Damn these week little single cams!!!!!

MAN... i wished i blew my engine.. i'd rather see her go out like that then get raped..like what she's probably have.

Now i'm stuck with a LS integ...

ohwell new projects for both of us..

LS integ? I'm acutally thinking of getting that motor and getting a vtec head slapped on.. or maybe even turbo. I want to swap mine out for another, but I just dont have the funds right now. I have to spend cash to fix my ride... get it running to get a job... then later get the money to do the swap... WAY later. But oh well.

the ls/vtec.... aww yeah :D
how's about a nice turbo with it... :smoker2: hells yeah

Yah i'm thinking of a turbo too... i'm not in a hurry.

Main goal right now is pay some bills.. so i can get this car to something i can enjoy driving.

DRIVING STOCK SUCKS A**!!!!

what kinda of job u plannign to get... Work a bank or insurance claims.. i got a friend who just got hired at gieco and they make like 13-15 per hr starting off.

o yah.. cheapest place i found a 98+ type r lip was $160
wtf it's just a lip..i new bumper covers for much cheaper than that.

Its not that.. I miss listen to CDs and going deaf

Also miss sticking corners up to 90mph

yeah i hate it when i don't drive my car for a while and it just seems like i need more bass in my life... like mom will take my car for a week or something, and nothing does the trick so i end up sittin in the car listenin without driving just to get some daily bass..

Hell yeah! I got hooked up with a job. Its alot of work... labor, but pays well and I work whenever I want to. I might not fix my car and just balls out and do a full motor swap :D We'll see...

Sounds good to me. :D Congrats on the job. :D I'm gonna need to find a new job asap, 'cause I'm not making anywhere near enough as I need to if I'm gonna get that S15 conversion. :D

Motor Swap = :coolguy:

I say go for it! That's something I wish I could do. :D

Wait.. I thought you were going to get an S14, not a S15 convrsion. I didnt even know they had an S15 conversion out yet.

I didn't know it was out either, but then iLLuCiv99 showed me this pic, and said it was the new S15 conversion:

I totally like them both, but I'm loving the lights on this one more than the S14. :D

thats damn sweet

i'd like it more if you could color match it more.. instead of the black in the housing.. just me ..

Wait, is that a custom conversion, or a pre made bolt on conversion like the S14, and the Cali type R style conversions?

Wasn't that a long ass time ago? I was told the engine only had like 22K miles on it too or some low mileage like that. It was also my understanding that you got another D16 for your car after it happened... I think someone's been giving me the run around.

Weren't you planning on a B20 w/B16a head (CR-VTEC) swap?

yup, all sounds just about right. Pretty much... I had alot of plans, but not enough money to go through with it. I was just about it get it too... but alot of stuff happend and I couldnt get it. Its still on my list of things to do once I get myself out of this hole and have money to work with again.
