Civic Plans

[dxhatchback]

here is the deal

I am only 16 and I have a 1986 Honda Accord
its fairly done up, but it doesnt have the aftermarket support i want... its pretty quick, but the 2890 lb with driver weight is way to heavy to get much speed from it...

i can sell this car for around 3000 bucks to some kid in town. the car is fairly modified (weber carb, lowered on full bodied coilovers, 17 inch wheels, headers and full exhaust, roll cage with gutted interior and a bumpin audio system)

When i graduate, i get 10 000 bucks as a gift. I need about 3500 for tools as i am becoming a mechanic.

that leaves me with about 10 000 bucks after selling the accord.
i can pick up a nice clean low mileage civic SI for about 3500..

so im now down to 6500 canadian dollars for mods...
this is what i have come up with...

check out ebay for shure you can get some of that shit way cheeper than what they got ghoing. Like xcda headers and itnake and that kind of shit ... yu might beven be able to get some shit nice and cheped han that.

I thought you said you had a JDM B20 in that car....

[dxhatchback]

I do have a JDM B20 in it.. the only reason its not goin into the civic is because its not a conventional Bseries block... it bolts into teh accord, but regualr Bseries blocks need a Place Racing Kit...

lol.. i wouldnt lie about a freekin old ass honda accord.. its not lik eits special.. i scored the engine at Lucky Star in Toronto for 600 bucks cuz they got it by mistake...

if you would like, i could take a picture of my shitty accord to prove it to you

oh yah.. and with 4500 USD, can i do a B16 swap? into the civic?

thanks
Travis

[Killa_CRX]

Yes, I Actually would like to see a picture or 3...

Place Racing mounting kits suck from what I hear.

And for $4,500 USD you could almost have a GSR engine in a civic... or even a turbo B16.

[dxhatchback]

i never said i have a place racing mount.. if i wanted a B16 i would have had to get a Place Racing kit.. anyway.. i think i have a pic of it out of the car.. and a pic of the car.. but ill get a whole engine bay snap tommorow

that whole set-up sounds like itz too expensive......didn't T.O.O. say it cost him about $3k to have his civic up to 500bhp

but if i had the money i say turbo a b16.....u got speed and itzsomething quick to do....then i'd go back and build up the engine more

I never said you had place racing mounts.... I simply stated that I've heard that place racing kits suck... as to discourage your usage of them... I've heard HCP Engineering and HA Sport mounts are much better... for if you do decide to do a bseries swap into a Civic.

[dxhatchback]

this is when i first brought it home... i might have a engine bay pic... ill have to dig around a bit

Travis

[dxhatchback]

here... i hope this will shut you up.. lol



this is the engine when i first got it... it was originally a FI engine



here is the car as of 3 months ago



next time be careful when you call bs.. it might just turn out like this!!

Travis

[dxhatchback]

oh yah.. thanks for all the sugestions guys.. i was thinkin today that a low boost B16 would be best... and then after i start making some money, ill tear it down and build it for max boost...

Haha.... nah... I call BS at the slightest little thing... ask anyone who's been in here a month or more.

When people get deffensive about stuff is the best time to get the truth out of them... but I'll let ya slide for now little man

I personally say buy a Civic shell and use the Accord for parts if you plan to sell it for so little, it's worth more as parts then to be sold as a whole... think about it a lil' bit.

By the way.... I'm still doubtful about the whole deal.

[BLU CIVIC]

some people are so easily offended....i really don't care about u proving squat
