    Gonna buy a civic need some closure.

    Kill switch is a great idea. Best $6 anti-theft device out there lol. Just find a sneaky hiding spot. If you want to be crafty, wire two switches. Now that my Civic is gone, I can disclose my location... simply had it underneath the center console towards the back. I removed the two rear...

    To part out or not to part out.. that is the question

    I'd recommend parting it out. Throw the whole thing on CL "for parts" and see what people contact you for. I did this with my Civic and have had people inquire about anything from the entire motor all the way down to the clock spring. It's tedious, and more work than just getting rid of it, but...

    Can only see a few threads per sub-section

    It's probably because of the date filter that's set by default. At the bottom of the section you're in, you should see something similar to the image attached below. Just select the circled drop down menu and select 'Beginning'. That should show you everything ;)

    Going from NA to Turbo B16a suggestions?

    :welcome: 13:1 is pretty pretty high ratio... Boost doesn't play nicely with high compression unfortunately. What's your power goal? Look into some Go-Autoworks stuff for turbo parts. Greg is a great guy, and very knowledgeable. For what you have now though, your budget is a little on the...

    Just found out there's a slight chance I get to take a work trip... to India... for a month! Visiting our 5 offices throughout the country and upgrade their networks. Co-worker of mine is going, and my boss just told me he may send me as well... a month is a long time, but it would be a once in...

    Slept like crap last night, 24 minutes left of work and, though I should nap, I'll probably play Forza. Project Retrofit is almost half way done... one headlight is done, I just need to test fit and aim the projector, re-seal it, and then repeat with the other headlight. Since it's winter, I am...

    where is a good place to find a used replacement engine ( 1.7 non V-Tec )

    Craigslist, this way you can physically go see and inspect the motor before purchasing.

    engine oil

    :welcome: Jack the car up om the lip, or whatever the car manual says. If you're using ramps, just get a good set of them and roll the car onto the ramps. That's what I do, with the car in gear, ebrake on, and just put bricks behind the rear wheels. As for oil. I'd recommend whatever the...

    :shock: Damn that looks clean! Honestly the paint doesn't look too bad, just a little dull. The motor looks great! That is a long shift. Feel better sir. How sick are balls, anyways? If you plan on burning in the teg, make sure to hotbox or open the sunroof; don't ruin the tint! I need...

    Dart block for Daily

    Those blocks aren't really meant to be used as a DD application. However, they're pretty much made to not have cooling issues, so you'd be ok there. I did a little digging on various sites and got mixed results, but most said it's fine to use, just overkill for most applications (ie a waste of...

    d16z6 basemap

    http://www.hamotorsports.com/stockp28bin.html ^ Should be enough to get you to a tuner. I wouldn't drive it anywhere else, and don't hit boost before you get it tuned.

    b20 idles at 5000 rpms at crank

    You've pretty much put yourself on the right track. Start with cleaning the IACV. Also, check the idle screw. make sure your TPS and MAP sensors aren't switched. Also, any CEL lit, and how is the idle when the motor is at normal operating temp?

    How to make an automatic faster.

    Yeah, here's a parts list, written up by Szady, who helped me with my auto to manual swap. Price wise, if you have a $1000 budget, it's doable. Cost me about $800 piecing everything together. Took the two of us a full weekend to do. Worst part is was the rustiness we had to deal with. :lol...

    Jared, I'm terribly sorry for your loss. It's going to be hard but hang in there and keep your head up. I lost my mother to cancer a few years ago so I know the feeling. Like Nick and everyone else said, we're here for you! Sent from my eye phone

    Nice! Just setup a Minecraft server at my house. I've had 4 people connected at once from various locations and no issues so far. I just wish my house mate never set it up on the same box as our media server as I had to obviously open up a port to allow remote friends to connect in. Whatever, if...
