Haha...it came with steelys so I threw the old 17"s on. :D

I'm thinking after an I/H/E and in a CRX the LS swap will be nice. :) I'm very suprised at how smooth it runs and how clean it is inside for 274,000 kilometres. :)

it really doesnt look bad with the 17s if it was lowered a little, how'd you get it so cheap?

I don't know...its a bit rusty but its really worth at least a grand.

I took her out for a burn and now I can get 2nd gear spinning with 7" wide tires...couldn't do that with a D16. :D But honestly I notice a lot more lower end power, but after 5000 RPM I can tell the Mini-Me has more top end...duh. ;)
 
The B18 is running better and better everyday.

The shifter itself was rusted and corroded and the shifter was super loose so I put a Civic shifter in and its all better now! I also believe the cat is clogged. I moved the car 10 feet, and it was cold, then turned it off and I cound not touch the cat. :(
 
Lol. I did that while the shifter was out. My neighbours hate me.

But someday I will make a 2-1/2" test pipe as a nice project. Then after the car is running with the B18 swap I'll follow through with a whole exhaust and a Dynomax Super Turbo muffler on the end. I will keep the twin tips because they're plain sexy and spray the piping black.
 
Man, I've got 3 calls asking for the complete car. I could probably sell it and make $1000-$1500. Maybe I should, its not the engine I want so why do it. I have the money for a ITR swap but my parents won't let me spend it lol.
 
your parents are wise, saving your money is always the best option

why not just grab a fresh z6 from hmotorsonline and toss it in there? still enjoy great MPGs..
 
Nah. I'll follow through with the LS swap. And I totally understand why my parents want me to save, I've got no problem with it.

In my opinion, between the LS swap and the front brakes its worth what I paid for the whole car, $500. So if I get $200 for the shell.....then whatever.
 
I tested my wheels on teh teggy. Brakes fill them out a lot better up front! :)
