its off of a 94. they came off of the mechanic's brothers integra that they are selling. He put his universal 4 lug rims from his 4th gen prelude on the teg so they could sell it. I would only buy 3 of the rims because one is damaged badly. But I am going to buy a brand new one from a website I know of. I got the three for $7.50 a piece from work. The money they would have gotten for them from the scrap yard.

Aren't those nice, Sam? I love the webs and would love to get my hands on a set of Si's.

They are decent looking this particular set has some pretty bad curb rash.. I will probably buy three and keep the worst one as my spare, then pick up two brand new. But They are definately a huge looks upgrade over the steelies. I can't stand looking at my car and seeing those. Plus what I like about them the most is they fit my style. They are way better looking than the steel wheels, but at the same time they aren't the type that will jump out and grab your attention.

A little sandpaper will go a long way with the curb rash.
Check out Clint's, eg6sir's write-up on how to fix the wheels up. It's graet.__________________

I will definately have to check that out. I plan to sand down the faces and powder coat them. More of just an experiment for myself to see how good they will look. I can't decide what color will look good with my car though. Debating between black, and white. I could do the inside of the wheels black and the face white for some contrast. If you ever saw the pic of the meshies that were powder coated black with a pollished face, like that.

It's a great write-up and I believe it will help steer you the right way. As far as mine go, I want the inside black. I believe that was the thread where Clint posted the picture of the painted web up. It made me

same here. my uh...well, not girlfriend but girl I am dating I guess....lol told me I should change it up a bit and go with a black face, with the white inside. It would have good contrast to the paint which I feel is a must when it comes to wheels, while still having some white left in it. Who knows maybe I will also paint the drums, and calipers white and just do the wheels all black....

well plans stalled on all that motor jazz. I spun a rod bearing. I just don't have luck with d-series motors over 120,000 miles. So I figured I would go to something I have experience in as far as reliability and performance. So I am debating on whether to shell out the cash for a b-series swap or save up and buy the d15b from hmotorsonline.com. The d15b is rated at 130 horses which would be a slight bump in power from the y7 and y8 considering I never wired vtec for the y8. Just curious but would a dohc zc motor be a direct bolt in as far as mounts, and tranny are concerned? That would be kind of a different swap to do make my car unique.

Well I was totally dead set on getting the d15b from hmotorsonline.com but an almost once in a lifetime deal came my way. This guy is selling his 1992 civic sedan for parts because the body is beat to hell, and the axle keeps "popping out of the tranny" However the motor is a rebuilt d15b7 with a new tranny, and some other new parts. Not to mention it has an aftermarket suspension setup. Anyways I should be buying this in two weeks. I plan on stripping the car down to the shell, putting it on craigslist for $300 for a week and then junk it. If someone buys it sweet I make a chunk of money back if not there are junkyards who will pay me $200 to come pick it up. So its a win win situation. In fact I could even use the shell to clean out my garage of scrap metal. lol its like a win, win, win situation.

Also for anyone who wants anything off of this car let me know. I will charge $10 plus shipping for ANYTHING on the 92 except the motor, tranny and suspension. However I will have a ton of parts coming off of my civic as well. So if you need anything from a 98 civic ask me as well. I may be able to help you out.

What's a 'cheap turbo' I got a garrett t25 for cheap. I also have a t67 that I got for cheap. Define cheap.

I have a couple options...I am debating either a jdm d15b, and a jdm b16a. The d15b would cost less around $575, but the b16a sir will put out more power obviously the tranny, ecu, and motor for $1800. I would still need mounts obviously, but for the difference it may be worth the power gain. I do miss the power my integra had...but that was a b18. Either way I plan on putting a full exhaust and running my stock intake box with a velocity cone hidden behind the grill with a K&N drop in filter. If I do buy the b16 swap would some gsr cams add more torque? The motor as is: 170 hp/113 lbs. torque with a 10.2 compression.

Well, there are two ways you can go now. D-series is cheaper to start with, but per-HP costs more. B-Series is more of an initial outlay, but per-HP until about 250 is pretty cheap.
What are your goals? If you want gobs of torque, unfortunately you're building the wrong car. But still, a hopped up D will probably be your best bet. D parts are cheap and if you blow it, everyone has a D to sell. B parts are a little more expensive, but you can grab lots of better performing parts for 'em. How much money do you have to spend? What is your goal (both power, and what are you using the car for)? |

No if everyone had a d to sell I would have a motor in my car already. I can't find them reasonably priced anywhere near me. The b-series swap will give me more initial power to start off with and would satisfy my need for more power at least for a little bit. Honestly I would rather just drop a D in and go because I am sick of driving an suv over 40 miles a day to work and back. My civic would do that drive 5 days a week and have some gas left come the weekend, the suv doesn't do nearly as well. Plus the b16 tranny has shorter gears so I would enjoy the power a bit more, and I could also invest in an lsd if it doesn't come with.

The GS-R cams would give you a nice little power bump for relatively cheap. Not a bad option for a B16 budget build...
