what to do now? POLL!!!

i just spent 2.5 hrs :argue: with jer. we are stuck at a split. i am very set in my ways about my car. i build it for me to make myself happy. i honestly could care less what the rest of the world is doing to their cars as long as i'm happy with mine. i am so dang close to it being done. off my orginal list all i have left is:

jdm rear seats
jdm front end or WW kit (we know what happened with the WW)
projectors

there is always other things that would be cool but that was the last of what i considered had to be done to be finished. i had wanted turbo for the si and air suspension for the VW. that recently changed. i think i'm changing my mind again. so we went rounds and rounds this morning. here are my options...

1) air cylinders
2) jdm front end (keep y8)
3) jdm front clip complete with b16
4) turbo y8

i'm split between 1 & 2. jer is trying to say it wouldn't be right to have jdm front end and no b16. i say "AHHHH, HELLL NAW" to b16. but then again...damnit, he's kinda right. do i compromise for the integruity of the car? or do i stand strong with my d series beliefs?

i think i'm off the air kick for the Si. i just picture doing the same thing with air that i did with the kit. stick it in and then not like it as much. so really it should go on the vw.

please people lets respect everyone's opinion. please leave your own opinion but don't flame others for their opinion!

Turbo Y8 dawg.

Stand up for what you believe in! :D

A B16 would still be cool, but a turbo y8 would be alot cooler. Of course, I'm biased though...

Dont go over to the dark side Ami, dont become a b series nazi....hehehehhe...my opinion is biased as well though...i built my d series just becauser every one is going b series....

I say turboed Y8 with Air and full body kit - That's what I'm going to do, I already have the air and body kit, so I just need to get the Y8 in and turboed.

i feel ya on the air cylinders, i wanna try them and see what they are like before i think about getting them...So my choice on the poll becomes keep the y8 and get the jdm front end, :D air cylinders would be cool though.....

How about a JDM front end, keep the y8 and get air cylinders ??

Thats why I got the ZC! 1. Its cheap 2. Its efective 3. Its not a B series motor! IMO you should get a ZC and go turbo! JRSC also makes a Super Charger specificaly for the Dohc ZC!

The Y8 is cheaper, specs are almost identical to those of the ZC, and you don't have to import it...

i swear i just wouldn't feel right with a b series. after all these years...setanta would have quite the fun at my expense.

it interesting to see the turbo and air cylinders have almost the same votes.

please vote if you haven't yet!

Air Cylinders = Air Bags??? If so seems like a lot of weight to add for nothing but stunner style.

Well I voted for B16A... If your not gonna do that I say turbo. So turbo is winning by 2
:D

the air ride isnt that much weight at all. i think u should get the air cans ami. ud like them

JDM front and B16 swap, stay true to the model, no air bags

why not turbo ZC?

Air cylinders are dead sexy i think. I've been wanting to get them, but seeing as how i've spent $800 on suspenion that stays put, I'm not gonna get a new setup.......right now anyways. But that is certainly very cool. Of course, you need a kit, cuz air suspenion on a ghetto ride is still just a ghetto ride, but air suspenion on sex-on-wheels is hella crazy cool. After that just twin turbo and supercharge an F20A and throw that in there, unless money's an issue, then do it to a B18C, it wont be as fast, but u should still be able to beats some SRT neons, and thats all its about :D

OMG Ami u know what i'm gonna say rite?;)

i voted turbo the y8 because i'm still all about speed, even though i was pretty excited to see pics when u were done putting it on bags. But i always wanted to know why u took the ww off, i think bags + kit is the sickest, but no kit. i didnt see it being as sick.

You know what I voted. :)

Stop hating on the B16.. Shit, you're pretty much admitting that the only reason you can't get one is because you've spent so much time being so opinionated about them. Don't worry Ami, its never too late for change.

I don't love my B16 because people tell me I should. I didn't buy it because so many people told me it was such a good motor, or because it had VTEC. If you had one, you wouldn't hate it. The B16A is a wonderful motor thats so full of potential its overwhelming.

Why do you think everyone that has B16s love them? I was hesitant about it when I got rid of my ZC and got the B16 because I was afraid that I was just being a sell out by buying a motor with VTEC, but it really is a wonderful thing. A motor that smoothly revs and pulls so hard at 8000rpm is a beautiful thing.

Turbo Y8 would be faster, but from the reasearch I did when I wanted to turbo my ZC was that with Hondas and turbos, they are quite expensive to do properly in the first place, and then to maintain. A B16 could be just as fast probably with basic bolt ons, and you wouldn't have to comprimise reliablity.. Plus I find an added benifit of being able to say "the motor is unmodified" and it still kicks a lot of ass.. Hopefully sometime I can put a B18 block on there and have an NA monster. Why will that be even more fun? Because it would be faster than a turbo Y8. More reliable, and not turbo. :) Unfortunatley with trying to make a D series as fast as a B16, there is no prize for the person who tried the hardest.. Just whoever is faster.

Siz- you goin all motor? Well welcome to the club guy! :) So you're throwin a gsr block or ls. thats what i'm gonna do as soon as i find me a gsr short block. Those are hard to find. I might just end up getting one from the dealership!:eek:

It seems like the most logical step. Like a mild NA build with good HP. A GSR block can be found used for cheaper than bolt ons!

I love B16. :)

I dont know why, but i think air ride suspension is kick ass.......
