I fixed it!
All it needed was the 90-93 midshaft. Took it out last night and had some fun. No problems except a drippy upper radiator hose.

Pics and ripper vids soon!

Dude! I'm happy you got the car moving again. Bring it to the car meet.

Yeah man I'l be out there next Thursday for sho.

I've been driving it all day today(probably 50 miles or so, mix of town, interstate, and rippage) with no problems. Just waiting for something to break.

So, I'm following you down in the PT Crusher (rental) to the test N tune this saturday, right?

The PT wants some B16 CRX for supper

OR...... Do you want to go AutoX? it's closer

Congrats Andrew

same color i did on mine..

Oh I gotcha. See? your just such a big influence on me!! Next I'll be doing Gold with Black lettering

Sorry for not posting up much stuff in here fellas... I'm about to do some photoshoots with my buddy (He just got a new wide-angle that we'll mess around with), so I'll get some visual's up here soon.

Plus I think, like Terrance said, we'll be going to the track(drag) this or next weekend. I'll see what I can do on street tires. I think I'm expecting around a 15.0 @ around 94 maybe? we'll see.

FYI, This is the track I ran my D16Z6 on.. remember guys? Heres the highlights:

2-17-07







So we'll see... I couldn't trap any 60' lower than 2.4 b/c it was so slick, I would just spin SO bad, but, it was my first time at the track, so IDK what will happen.
Of course you guys will find out soon enough...

man, get ahold of some 15's and use devins drag raidals!! I'll go in half on the wheels/mounting balancing.

I wonder if I could just mount 'em on the ol' Fat Fives for the weekend? It would be what... $6 per tire, so $12/pair, $24 after I take them off next week. It'd be like a $25 rental... idk.

What do you think about that idea?

Good idea, really. A lil work on your part, but I think well worth it. Gives me time to find a pair of beater wheels

damn bro.... i hate to hear it took u so long to figure out that shit about ur axles..... i havent been on here in months..... also for future refrences..... the auto halfshaft will fit in the manual tranny and bolt up..... but its longer causing a bind.. had that problem with the first b series swap i ever did.... but ur car is looking awsome.

Thanks man. BTW did you ever sell your rex?

Terrance, I got a GREAT deal thru my friend. He used to work at Discount (at Kilearn) and is getting them mounted/balanced fo free. Got 'em with me as we speak.

Man.....I"m so torn.. I want to take my Integra but I've always wanted to rag on a rental....

Oh man.. Decisions decisions...........

No, I've got to stay with the rental idea. I di my first roll back last night It'll smoke em pretty good for a PT!

BWAA HAAHAHAHH!!

Hey so I went out to the meet last night... Heres how it went down.

I'd been there about 30 min chillin talkin with Dustin(Fluffer Ej1) and Arty G...
Pop my hood & find out my engine is a 1989 model (stamping on the head).
Shut hood.
2 seconds later a redneck comes up to me and asks, "whats in the rex?" (this guy has a stock civic with bolt ons)
"Single cam", says Dustin
"Tyte, What do you run?"
"15.6 or so on the D" I said
"cool. wanna race?"
"sure"
.....

Dig- 3 cars
40 roll- 2-2 1/2 cars

End of night.
Should've asked to run for $20 or so.

That's classic

15.6 @ 89.
On drag radials.

I don't know why my engine doesnt make more power than my freaking d16.
Compression and Leak down will fill me in a little bit more.
Plus it's only on a basemap tune.

all that for nothing...
at least you can say you have a b series & there is more potential


dont worry you live and learn.
get a wet kit and youll see low to mid 14.

Ha! the D gods smite you with slow for blaspheming them. Put the d back in, sell the B and use that money to boost it.

its either cuz you need to paractice or you need to get the drag radials off. The b16 doesnt make that much power. Alittle spin for RPm is a good thing.

Same with and lsd. If your engine doesnt have the balls its just gonna bog.

practice your launches every now and then. You should be in the mid to high 14's

Granted, the tires were big (225/50's), but I don't see how traction made me slower...
Everything felt good. The only thing that was bad was my R/T's, but that doesn't really mean anything, time wise.

We'll see
