Project: Initial B

[92civicb18b1]

ehh, I was trying to be nice, but I might as well throw in my opionion as well.

b16b, expensive garbage engine. I would never buy one, for the price of that motor I could have a much much faster hatch with an LS turbo or even just a plain old GSR would castrate the thing.

JRSC, the thing is garbage, that's why 97% of the people who know there shit don't buy them. If you're looking into SC's get a centrifugal one.

My opinion, sell me the hatch for 400, then buy yourself a GSR for like 5-6k do the normal bolt on's and be happy with it, if you're not you still have a great platform to work with.

So anyways... someone jacked my Civic. The bank gave me 8,000 bucks. Here we go...

I bought a 93 hatch, empty under the hood for 350 bucks.
Just recently got done ordering everything I could:
-B16B
-AEM intake and fuel system
-Skunk2 Valvetrain stuff
-Jackson Racing Supercharger
-DC 4-1 Header to a Greddy muff

As it stands, I'm not sure if I want to change out the suspension because it already has brand new no-name stuff.


To be continued...

There are WAY better ways to spend money under the hood of a Honda. GSR + I/H/E = More power than you will ever need in a daily driver. And if someone's gonna jack your shit all the time, then why would you want to throw all your money into it? Bank some of that shit.

 

[Seany-izzle]

if you did come across 8 grand, which sounds unlikely, and you had your shit stolen already, but a stock car...but a nice one. for 9 grand you can have one hell of a down payment on a later model 330

 

[civicious]

Hatch: $350
B16B from Hmotors: $3850
JRSC from MMRUSA: $2595

AEM Intake: $183.10
AEM Fuel Rail: $144.16
AEM FPR: $181.78
AEM Fuel Filter: $115
Skunk2 Valvesprings: $281.32
Skunk2 Retainers: $160
Skunk2 Valves: $360
DC 4-1 Header: $304.67
Greddy Evo (cheapest Greddy cat-back, since Greddy doesn't make just a muffler): $534.65
All from InlineFour

Total: $9059.65

And that's excluding any shipping....

Nice $8k insurance check, cuntbag.

Last time he posted here he was still unemployed. Car payments and unemployment don't mix well. I still say it would be smart to spend only a portion of it.

 

[civicious]

And whatabout mounts, axles, etc? Last time I checked, B16B = NOT OBD1...therefore different mounts than an EG...

 

[Havok]

I'd spend the 8k on a down payment for a S2K or STi.

Here's a tip. Take the 8k, blow cali a kiss and get the fuck out of there. Whats the point of building another car when it'll be stolen a week later?

[post=440592]Quoted post[/post]​

YES

Anyway, You're doing the torque, say-no-to-VTEC option, but with a B16B? Why not go a step into the bush with a crower stroked B18B to 2.0, Jackson racing, underdrive and head shave ?

-> Steve

And yes, avoid no-name suspensions.

Alright, to anyone arguing the STi vs Evo thing, shut the fuck up. There is no tangible reason you should pick one over the other. Go test drive them. One after another. And do it again. And again. And when you get out of the Evo, you're going to want the Evo. Even if you just drove the STi. And when you step out of the STi, you're going to want the STi, even if you just drove the Evo. It's impossible to choose. Unless you really want a red car. Then you get the Evo.

I break it down like this:

The Evo vs STi decision hedges not on which car is better in real life or on paper, but on what kind of person the purchaser/driver is. You can link these personalities to the way men view women. They either like the girl that most guys would find kind of ugly, you know, the "would be cute if..." thing. And she has a great personality and is a great conversationalist and thinker. Or, conversely, they like the gorgeous bimbo who fucks like a minx. The Evo and STi, respectively.

Seriously, you can't argue about one or the other. It would be just like those guys who constantly yammer on about how wonderful a person their buckled-ass girlfriend is and how precise she is with her linguistic and mathematic abilities and how they really "connect" and relate to one another. Or those dickheads who always rub it in your face that their girlfriend is hotter and fucks better and accelerates faster and brakes in a shorter distance and- oh, wait... looks better naked and has a user-controllable active-center-differential.

Me? I like the bimbo.


P.S.: I didn't threadjack. This thread sucks enough already.
