enjoy that car brad...mine got stolen this past weekend, but at least i drove it for what i built it, to have a good time!! i had it for 5 years 11 months... i know its olny been 4 days.. but we all know the odds of getting that car back in one piece...

That really sucks man. I hope you get her back!

I'm really thinking of what I want to paint in that color now. Maybe I'll rice out the Si and do the hood since its clear is shot on the one I picked up. Color match the wheels too. lol

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Lol that would be dope. You would want to clear coat it after, it comes out sorta flat. I want to do a VC.

In other circles, "I want to do a VC" is a completely different statement

Looks cool, breh!

 

[GlassHeadlights]

Yeah it seems to suit the car a little better.

I finally decided to get a job, I can't just live off insurance money forever. I'm waiting for a call back, but I'm sure I nailed the job (just another gas station but higher pay.

So once money is flowing the B18C is getting all new Honda gaskets, thermostat, Gates Racing timing belt and Exedy Stage 1 organic clutch kit. I found a used (only 5k miles) Exedy kit on HT for about half price so I might go for it.

The trusty D hasn't quit yet. It takes regular use day in and out.

I'm beginning to like the coupe. A lot. Could the coupe be a "stiffer" body design vs. the Integra because of the rear deck right over the rear shock towers? The Integra is a hatch obviously so there is no bracing in between. Thoughts?

 

[RoughKnight]

Yay for getting a job lol

i've never been a fan of the look of the coupe, looks too...weird, I dunno

i think the teg is much stiffer, your body style doesn't have a rear sway I believe and being a civic is made of sheet metal, the teg has thicker and more luxurious based frame rails and thus i believe making it stiffer to appease the luxury sport market

 

[GlassHeadlights]

I don't know man, after seeing both cars stripped down they look identical construction wise. And they nearly weigh the same.

 

[RoughKnight]

I couldn't honestly tell ya, i've auto-x'd both and hands down I think a teg would out turn a coupe, but a hatch would destroy both

And my shifter kart would incinerate them all! Haha!

On the right track, even the Rotax would smoke 'em!

Well a hatch has a short wheel base advantage. Doesn't matter much, its still fun as hell to drive.

Hondas are just big boy karts.

.....Hondas are just big boy karts.

Pretty much the way it is.

maybe because integras have a higher turning ratio

 

[GlassHeadlights]

My trunk area was constantly filling up with water and muck. After removing a few panels it appears I have a few rust holes. Then I decided to gut it. Tan interior < clean gutted. Next to go is the carpet.

Interesting. I cant wait for the subframe swap!

 

[RoughKnight]

Subframe swap? I thought eg's technically didn't have a front subframe

 

[GlassHeadlights]

I call it a subframe. Its where the steering rack and rear trans mount connect. I'm swapping it for the DC2 unit when I swap motors. It has a stabilizer bar and appearantly a higher ratio steering rack. It will be a Civic GSR.

its a K member.

you plan on putting the interior back after patching up your cancer?
