Alright this will be my thread that i will update as progress on the car is made.
i have set a goal of getting my 92 eg hatch into 12.99 or better territory using the current b18b1 ls motor and trans with a healthy sho of nitrous. while keeping a budget of 2grand or less.
ABOUT ME: name is steve,im 29 in south florida,been racing at our local track<moroso> for about 10 years on and off in several diffrent vechiles,ranging from a 86 monte carlo with a fuuly built 355 and slicks running 12 flat@112mph to saturn sc2 on spray.
im pretty good with cars and do allmost all my work myself with some freinds helping out along the way,i must admit im not to familiar with hondas,but im learning ive done nitrous installs,porting polishing heads,rebuilding fwd transmissions and installing lsd's.i have a good buddy who owns a eg hatch and is my go to guy for my honda questions,lol
ABOUT THE CAR: Well i ended up with this hatch from a co worker,i had a 2000 monte carlo ls that was clean but high mileage,i ended up trading him for the civic plus he gave me a grand to even things out,it has a cheap red paintjob that is fairly new,b18b1 swap with intake,exhaust,and chipped pcm. the car has run high 14's from its previous owner.i have done a compression check and all cylinders are around 180 to 190.doesnt use any oil,no smoke pulls pretty hard!
the rims in the pics below are gone and its currently on 14" steelies.also i hit a possum the other night that ripped the front lip off as with some paint on the bumpercar has ice cold ac
THE GOAL: To run a 12.99 or better on nitrous for less then 2grand total cost.
now that means 2grand in parts that will make it go down the track and do the 12second boogie.i have already told my old lady i want some rims for christmas,and they will not count towards the budget,neither will cosmetic or maintance items,i plan on keeping it a DAILY DRIVER..but this is wheir the contrversy would begin,people have their own ideas of what constitutes a daily driver....i have no problem driving a gutted loud ass car,ive done it in the past,i plan on running a open header with a simple turndown, probably not legal,but ive gotten away with it before as long as i dont drive like a asshat racing on the streets i should be fine like before,again im 29 my street racing days are over!
i plan on keeping the ac,but if it comes down to it and im a tenth away from hitting a 12second pass,ac will go.
SO HERE ARE SOME PICS OF THE CAR THE DAY I GOT IT.
