i still don't know what he said. the last time i read someone talking like that, within 3 days that guy was banned
whats the deal? this guy has been postwhoring damn near every thread telling them what is already said.
posted in my thread (after i stated many times that i was having a tech look at my shit) that i should have a mechanic look at it.
lol, i was truly having a hard time reading it too.
couldnt help but stop and start over a couple of times just to make sure i read it correctly.

wtf did you just say? i think i broke my brain trying to decipher idiot.... do you know what your talking about.... at first i was trying to figure out what you might be talking about... but i give up, thats more fucking work than what ive put into my car!!you obviously know nothing about turbos either. id be suprised if you knew what one looked like lol.
anyway yes the wagon is a 76 for sure. still not that it matters all 1st gens look basically the same haha. but i will be posting pics dont worry! should be a rather quick swap since he has all the money and parts to do it all at once. (must be nice) but like i said it will be 2-3 weeks before we even start it, he lives about an hour drive down the free way, so we are only going to be able to work on it weekends. so it still may take a little while. but ill keep this thread updated, hopefully no more idiots decide to come in here and stink it up. next thing you know they are going to be like man if you put a double nitrous tank in your wheels and took the back window out so way fast coll go car kaboom!

I think the problem is that you never did your grammar homework. Before telling someone to do their homework, do your own boy.

LOL.....easy guys, back to the thread....
It's not lookin' bad. I had my reservations about the bumpers, thinkin' maybe it would turn out to look like rice crap, but it's comin' around. Keep it up mang!!!
+1 on posting pics of that swap but start a new thread, ah-lah DIY write up.

not a bad idea. i can throw a DIY twist into it. i think i might.
were not starting this weekend were in right now. or next weekend, but the weekend after that we will be starting. the first day we should get the stock motor pulled, the new motor stuffed in there and all the metal bent/cut away to make room for it. and maybe even get a good start on the first couple engine mounts, im not sure. we will see how the first day goes. hopefully we make a lot of progress.
Here's how I positioned mine:
I measured from the end of the midshaft to the axle seal on the other side of the trans. to find the midpoint, which I centered in the chassis.
Then I snapped a chalkline on the garage floor from ball joint to ball joint on the lower control arm. I used this line to get the midshaft parrallel.
Hope that helps.

thanks but i think u made more work for your self than you needed lol. since you have to make custom axles anyway, its a little simpler to put the motor in the car where it fits best. and build the axles to suit that. but to each their own, everyone has their own way of doing things.
Kickass project you have on your hands! I'm not bashing but personally, I would've loved to have seen the oem pieces re-used inside & out if that would've been possible. I couldn't imagine the amount of resources it would take if you had to replace an original part though...
Good luck either way!

Actually, on the integra, they are, and it almost acts like an LSD from what I've been told.

thats to easy to do, and 99% of 1st gens out there look like that. why be the same. be different. i want something that someone looks at and is like wtf is it. and wtf is in it to make it so god damn fast.
