I put a lot of work into this car and got real lucky with some deals. Bought it with...No engine. No transmission. No grill. No fender plastics. No bulbs. Rusty steelies that shake with winter tires. A disassembled & partly missing interior. A wiring harness that was covered in dirt & oil, also had a couple broken clips & was half un-covered. All kinds of pizza boxs, empty cigarette packs, & socks. Tones of other garbage. The passengers front engine mount had 2/3 stripped nuts, had to drill into the body and replace them. A cut half shaft. Axels hanging. Had to cut the axel nuts to get them off. It had some blown out EF struts w/cut springs (just for cross town towing purposes). It had a ridiculous cheap fart can with a 4" slant tip along with a discussing sheet metal rivoted on carbon gaurd. It did come with skunk2 upper control arms though, but the ball joints were bad!
I wanted a project and the shell was fairly cheap and reasonable.
So I bought it & got the title. Then towed it across town. Got a bunch of d16y8 parts and over part of the winter busted out a facory rebuild. I gathered a lot of other oem parts. Eventually put the thing back together. It runs great, vtec does not work though?
The knuckles/brakes/hubs are all from a DA Integra. The exhaust is 2" all the way. Cheapo 4.2.1 headers with a custom flex pipe and flat flange welded on. Where the cat usually goes I got a 2" honda resonator. No more flanges straight to the muffler, which is off of a Subaru 2.5 RS. All hung and mounted very nicely. Sounds amazing. Breathes like champ. I think the intake is a z6 manifold.
Here it is...
I finally got to clean it at home to get all the greasy hand prints off HAHA. Lucky the snow is finally melting.
Night shot
More...
Valves & Springs - Pistons & Crank = 60k miles
Fixed up the wiring harness
I HATE WINTER!!!
Im pretty happy with it for a daily driver. I love driving it. Gas milage is much better than my last car. Its got a good sound system in it too. Del sol wheels are are waiting for it. There is definitely a few things to be finished. Once the weather is nice I will repaint it. Thanks for checking it out.
