The NX, so far

[Celerity]

Found the wheels. Not a bad price at all. But it's not what I'm looking for. The Civic is getting the Maxxim knock offs in 16", unless you want those in trade.

linky?

i love the look of the torques tho. they will make a great non-R summer wheel.

the SSC's are getting advans baby.

Newer Bluebirds and Primera's had the CVT trans also

The only ones I know who have the VVL's in stock is JGY...$1300 SR16VE, $1900 SR20VE

Never seen a VET listed for sale on a "performance" engine website

Since the Civic is retired from racing, my mom drives it now and these wheels should be fine. They are very lightweight though - I was surprised. little over 13 pounds.

they are almost like OZ F-1 cups, but i dont like silver thats why i painted the SSC's dark green

 

[Celerity]

I'm painting these athletic white before they get wrapped.

 

[hosmer]

athletic.........supporter?





I'm picking up 15" GT3's also (red), for the CRX....as soon as Chris picks up my wheels




and fender

 

[TurboMirage]

hottt i love the GT3's.

hey you need to PM me your phone number and address, or call me damnit!

 

[hosmer]

I'll call you tonight y0

 

[TurboMirage]

yessss.

Rota found a cave in the side of a mountain that contained millions of red GT3 wheels in 15x7 They are significantly cheaper than the other colors. but did you know that they made a Hunter Green set too ? Talk about niche market.

If I had the Red Civic still I would consider the red ones. It's tough to pull that off correctly. Maybe we can pull off a slight group buy through jbmotorsports or subydude.

 

[hosmer]

I 'chopped the red ones onto my CRX (the white 86 Si)

I was very happy w/the results



and yes, I've seen the green ones. I think I like Team Dynamics wheels so much because they also seem to come in about 30 colors...

Want to make an sr20de last forever?

Intake, Header/full exhaust, flywheel and clutch, and then pee on it.

Btw what kind of questions do you have?

 

[Celerity]

Well the VET - is it a worth while swap? I imagine it will take me over a month to get on and simply running.. much less running right.

SE-Rnet guys say it's the most worthwhile - what is you take on it ?

 

[hosmer]

I wouldn't think it'd be that hard to swap a VET...

You use your tranny. The harness to the ECU comes all the way out w/the motor, then theres 2 other little plugs from the dash. Stuff the new harness through, plug it into the VET ECU (or a chipped stock ECU) and fire it up.

I mean, theres some turbo plumbing to do. And the decision weather to keep the TMIC or switch it to a front mount. Maybe a fuel pump upgrade...


If you can get your hands on one for $1200...I'd say its totally worth it (even though I know you weren't asking me )

 

[Celerity]

That's how to do a Honda swap.

I need to make sure that certain years use my mounts, and I have to get the whole project ready.


And I can't do that on $26k a year, I know that

 

[Battle Pope]

lol - he compared a nissan VET swap to a honda swap.

 

[hosmer]

yeah, but I've done 1 GA16 - SR20 swap, 1 CA16 - CA18DET swap, and 1 SR20DE - SR20DET swap....they were all pretty straight forward


The longest was the CA18DET swap, it took me about 5 days to get it running right.


if you decide to do it, you've definatly got my help....I'd love to put a VET swap under my belt (moreso than an RB swap)

 

[NissanNiNjA2nd]

I have been told this time and tim again, but I have yet to see proof of one way or the other.

You CANNOT put a RWD nissan motor into a FWD platform.

WITH THE EXCEPTION of the Ca18det. I know that one for a fact, because I have done it before.....stupid coil packs.

Right now I am planning a e16i- a ga16de

hehe... 80s pulsar..... 45 mpg HERE I COME!

 

[hosmer]

I did it w/a FWD CA18DET into my 87 Pulsar



I thought the X-trail was like a CRV..w/the motor mounted like a FWD...?
