In the short time that I have been a member of this forum, I have seen a lot of really great ideas done with clean execution because people put their heads together and shared ideas.
In the spirit of that, I thought I'd offer some of the more intricate details that go into building something...
Here's some fun with a bike engine.........
Sounds like a good 2 weekend project...

Here's something I wanted to try for fun...
My stock manifold onmy 1.7 SOHC has really tiny holes and what look like sleeves.... I thought of taking a Die Grinder and smoothing out the flow that goes into it. It's just something to try in my spare time... sort of a "Hey, I wonder what would...
Any takers?
eBay.ca: Acura : TSX (item 230103041051 end time 18-Mar-07 23:00:00 EDT)
I found this.... while motor shopping on Ebay... the reserve wasn't met yet..... although 200 bones for a TSX seems awfully funny(as in funny, weird not funny ha-ha)
OK, I read an article from someone who has done the K20a2 swap.
I can post that article here for reference ... or simply the link to it.
What I'm really after is some feedback, input and suggestions
There are Pros and Cons to both the K20a2 and the K24 motors.
I'd like educated opinions on...
Good?
Bad?
So-so?
.... your thoughts please
..... I was gonna go with any one of these but thought they were too general
and didn't really portray my inner person accurately^_^
Ok, I would like to hear any suggestions with regards to a motor and tranny swap. The car is a 2004 EM2 Coupe. I believe it has a SOHC non-VTEC 1.7.
It's an LX Canadian model... not sure if that helps.
Criteria:
-Low-End Torque
-Solid midrange
-Traction
-Good Pull while in midrange
-Get...
After watching the pros do it, I thought I'd try my hand at posting a few photos to give you all a look at what I'm working on. To bring it up to speed, my car was party to a dickhead that backed into the front end. The Insurance Corporation Of BC was kind enough to tell me that if I was...
I absolutely could NOT pass these stellar beauties up

I need to remove the outside door handle on my 04 Civic Coupe because some jackass tried opening my passenger door with a flatblade screwdriver and only succeeded in mangling the lock cylinder and fucking up the door skin.
So, I removed to 2 10mm bolts and the catches on the rods but it...
Need some answers. I pulled off the exhaust manifold, piping, and muffler. I'm going to keep the rubber hangers for the next setup.
Question 1: Do I still have to keep the flange connector bolts that join up the manifold to the exhaust pipe and the pipe to the "muffler"?
Question 2...
Ok, so I 've given some serious thought to adding a turbo to my 2004 Civic LX Coupe that has the OEM 1.7L Single-Cam 'powerplant'. I use the word 'powerplant' very hesitantly based on what I've read and seen that others have.
I'm not looking to go drag racing with the car; what I'd really...
I would like to suggest a contest to pick the best "beater" website.
The winner will be judged on link quality, and how much milk the moderator squirts out his nose while viewinfg said site.
Good Luck!.....

I hope I can get some good ideas out of this. I thought it would be totally bithchin if the screen I want to put into my trunk could also have a touch-screen overlay that would control a windows based media center that uses touch icons. There is such a program, that much I know.

Had a "Whoops!" with my 04 Civic LX Coupe. Now I need to replace the radiator support. Somehow I think Honda engineers got their ideas for the crumple zones after one too many beer-can squishing late-nighters:rolleyes: . So, here's the "dilly". I need to have a new rad support put in. I'm close...
