If this is the wrong section to post this in, I apologize but I didn't see a section for newbs.
Hello all, my name is Jeremey. I'm from a small town in eastern TN called Kingsport....if you're any bit familiar with nascar racing and Bristol, TN., i'm about 20 minutes from there. Enough about me, lol.
I have a 1991 Honda Civic hatch that started out as a STD. model, STD meaning that it basically had what you need to drive the car in moderate comfort and that was about it haha. I first got this car in February of '03 with 149,917 miles on it from a small dealer. It was completely stock (1.5L 4-speed manual) had no problems except for a leaky radiator, I told the salesman about it and he had it replaced immediately.
Here is the first picture I have of the engine, I wasn't really into what was under the hood the first few years I owned it, so this picture is probably after at least two years of owning it, as you can see, clean as can be...oh how that will change.
Long story short, I went through a ricer "car club" phase as I call it, had a fartcan, huge rear "club sticker", shitty ass coilovers on blown struts and some nice Enkie wheels....thats all it had for a couple more years.
I then got interested in the whole jdm craze and took all the ricer shit off the car, save for the chitty coilovers lol...I was so dumb, but I liked how the car sat and didn't have money to get anything else.
This is one of my favorite pics of the car, ever.
Then I got into an unfortunate accident (the civic wasn't involved), was almost killed and got a decent amount of settlement money....most of which I blindly put into this car lol.
So onto the current list of mods:
Mechanical:
1st gen b16a w/ys1 lsd tranny
AEM CAI/Integra Type R header/Apexi Worldsport 2 catback exhaust (love it)
Exedy Cerametallic Clutch/Exedy Race Flywheel
Fluidyne full-core aluminum radiator
Hasport Motor Mounts
Here's a few pictures from the motor swap process.
Suspension:
Koni Yellow struts/H&R Race springs
Feel's front-upper strut bar
EM Racing rear-upper strut/C-pillar/Triangulating bar
Suspension Techniques 7/8" F&R swaybars (just purchased last week - not yet installed)
Earl's SS lines
Rear drum-to-disc conversion using '90-93 Integra pieces (used all integra control arms except for the compensator arm for a slightly wider stance)
A few pics from the disc conversion and suspension install:
In this pic you can sort of see how the rear tires stick out just a little more than normal
Wheels & Tires
GSR fat fives
205/50/15 Falken Azenis RT-615 tires
Appearance:
SiR front-end conversion
SiR rear wing
SiR center garnish
Vis carbon fiber SiR hood
And heres pictures from the front end swap process:
All torn apart
Starting to come back together
Finished
Timeslip & other info.:
The quickest i've ran in the 1/4 is 15.03 @ 91 with a shitty 2.6 60'. The track I was running at is a very nice facility but the prep sucks when they allow streetcars to run.
The car has dynoed 158hp/113tq with the CAI/stock manifold/Apexi....its been dynoed a few different times and has always been within a few hp and tq, so its reliable.
A few more random vids & pics
Emo-esque pic but i'm really not emo lol, I just love my car
All the wakaba's and all that are gone now, too gay
ChiChi - my guardian
Sorry for making this so long, but i've had the car for a while now and have a lot to show & tell about it, its my baby! I could sit here for another hour and put things about the car in here but this is just some of the more interesting things thats happened over the years.
I hope to get to know lots of you guys and gals!
