Not a bad car from what it looks like. The engine is a DOHC VTEC engine of some kind, either a b16a (SIR), b18c1 (94+ GSR) or a b18c5 (TYPE R).... or a b17a (92-93 GSR).

Check the stamp on the engine, it will tell you.

lol, I'm guessing he was being sarcastic if he's doing a swap

AHHVTEC · 10-09-2008, 11:03 PM

Justin66 · 10-10-2008, 07:39 AM

My bad, i didnt see the winking face.

92b16vx · 10-10-2008, 10:14 AM

I kind of like the paint 0.o

reikoshea · 10-10-2008, 10:53 AM

I would hope thats an ITR motor. Thats gonna be a fun little car. I dont like the paint, but hey, to each their own.

eg6sir · 10-10-2008, 10:59 AM

well, thats a b16 intake manifold.. so i'm guessing and SiRII motor

edit* after looking at that manifold some more, its not an sir2.. it looks more like the b16a2 manifold

Justin66 · 10-10-2008, 03:44 PM

True cause mine looks similar.

Matts96HB · 10-10-2008, 05:46 PM

Guessing thats a B16a judging by the intake mani.

Maybe just a diff valve cover?

vtec_me · 10-15-2008, 06:57 PM

its just a b16a2 with a typer wanna be valve cover or might even be a real one idk...... ohh and not to mention the typer camshafts and valve springs and some other things its a fun lil car to drive definately quicker than my suby. i need to update with new pics i just got it back from the paint shop

vtec_me · 10-19-2008, 08:41 PM

BrutalB83 · 10-19-2008, 08:42 PM

So clean! Good work! Throw some nice rims on that puppy!

AHHVTEC · 10-19-2008, 08:43 PM

very clean

philyphreak2127 · 10-19-2008, 11:05 PM

Looking good. That should be a very fun car. Would look good with some black wheels. Then again it looks good with steelies.

reikoshea · 10-20-2008, 01:35 PM

i wanna cry. I wish it was mine.

vtec_me · 10-20-2008, 05:01 PM

type r lip black or white? i was thinking black just wanna see what everyone else think.

AHHVTEC · 10-20-2008, 05:10 PM

white

phyregod · 10-20-2008, 05:33 PM

Black. Because chips suck. And your girlfriend/wife is guaranteed to rake it over a parking block/curb at some point. Its inevitable.

lillouie18 · 10-20-2008, 08:17 PM

white because it makes it look muck cleaner. imo anyway

vtec_me · 10-20-2008, 09:13 PM

the center grill is now black and some fogs on its way here too, soon enough cf duckbill.

90civicboy · 10-21-2008, 12:33 AM

So is that the color of the 98 Civic Type R,or is it the Integra DC2 white? Or are they the same? Thats the color i'm painting my EF. Very nice and clean btw, much better than the previous color.

I'm a fan of contrast. If that was my car I would paint the door handels, side trim, side skirts and front lip black. But i'm not here to criticize.
