ef that LSx that baby! no, dont....bad things will happen

hahaha ill keep my 115hp thank you

is that really all they have?? i always thought atleast 150 lol

its a 1.7 non-vtec......

:shrug: i dont know the first thing about honda motors...!

lol i just looked it up on kbb and thats what it told me

LoL...i have a 96 civic..1.6 liter sohc non-vtec, and it is terribly slow, and i would estimate arond 115-120 hp...thats the stock d-series engine...i think to get at least 150 hp out of a honda motor you have to swap to a b series motor i hear...but i dont really care ive always been a muscle car guy never bothered to learn too much into hondas

whats with that crazy piping coming from the back of the engine. did that thing have a turbo in it?

Looks like a fenderwell air intake.

yeah its just a cold air intake, the throttlebody faces straight up in the back of the motor, so the intake has to come up then make that bend forward

Man that thing is gonna fly! you better put that wing back on!

haha ill take pics of the stuff that was on the car.........and you will understand why i got those parts john

and the type-r stuff was stuff my buddy had layin around after he sold his car.

You must really have a vendetta against him :nod:

*** big update ***
http://www.fquick.com/images/vehicle...jpg?1212114731

the right front lower control arm was bent pretty bad so i got a new one and installed it today, that seems to be the ONLY problem the suspension had and the car will now be able to be driven on and off the frame rack.

i painted the headlights to get a subtle little upgrade in the front end, finished and re-assembeled them today.

the car is back on 4 wheels and is going to the frame rack on saturday, radiator support and front bumper support will go on at the shop on saturday. then it comes back home for all the metal to be bolted on, all parts are ordered.

the only things i dont have already ordered at this point are the airbags and the windshield. i dont really have a schedule to have this thing done, but it seems to be moving along very fast.

i have kept track of every penny spent on the car........anyone care to take some guesses? :)

forgot to mention, there is a bit of rice left, but i dont have the money currently to replace.....maybe it will grow on me?

the center console is done to match and had a red shift boot and chrome knob.....i went with the oem brushed knob and a black shift boot so maybe it will balance out?
:moon:

or not.

Or not what?

I believe he means it as a reply to your "balance out" comment. With him I could be wayyyy off though.

I'm thinking he ment this and I'd have to agree.

i hope it wont grow on u is wat i meant.

haha ok then speak in a whole sentence, i thought that was what you meant but who the hell can tell sometimes.... :)


FRAME RACK TOMORROW pics to come

i figure ppl should understand my lingo but im an idiot so dont ever expect too much wording from me! haha

its ok, i was being sarcastic, they will never grow on me.....monday i am cleaning them and taking new pics, then listing on craigslist as........ "custom door panels and console, trade straight up for your black stockers"

***saturday update, home from the shop***
