diplo said Yeah, I'll have more pics soon. I got the arms on.....got battle wounds on my hand.. Just sold my old Saturn....coped me the JDM headlight, tailight, amber citylight in headlight, and amber jdm fogs... Taking the ugly CRV/Pilot/etc Honda emblem off and putting on the Honda Integra JDM red emblems.. System is in the car now...gauges completely wired.. Soon up is a DX cluster, no tach, either Hondasport gauges or EL glow. paint the bezel red to match interior.

my 3 is going through some major changes. this is what it used to look like.

but before we put the new paint on, i am waiting on the new powerplant. it's a built motor from and i should have it within 2-3 weeks. this is the motor i ordered:
i'm not planning to go higher then 650rwhp, so this should be plenty to work with or at least i hope. lol.

after the heart transplant, the new paint will go on. i've just rebuilt the tranny and got the quaife diff last tuesday. i'm hoping to have the 3 on the road in 2 months. i'll up some more pics then.

couple of pics of my daily driver:

03 WRX mildly modded.

Nice. Saves you the trouble of torquing that stuff down. The head bolts on my Saturn were like 6-8 inches long.

Decent price, man.. New block and heads...brand new car in actuality..

yeah the price isn't bad at all, and i've dealt with the owner, kyle, before, so i trust his work. he was a big help in the initial conversion to twin turbo from na.

i like your body style of civic the best out of all other civic lines, other then the crxs. after your body style, they've gotten more and more awkward looking. the news ones are ok, by still look a little top heavy. i guess it's to meet the new euro safety standards for pedestrians. you definitely have the last sporty civic model.

Thnx. Got a question for you tho.



Just coped these ^

After that, I'm putting on these (applies to Si civics too, not just DC tegs..and the previous owner told me the trans if a D15b)



After those, I'm mounting my JDM front bumper license plate holder

Plate...I really wanted an authentic japanese plate...white and green...black/white tokyo/nagasaki is impossible to find....i seen a yellow/black one for sale..

But these are two quick options for me..



^^ sample one.....same design just no EG on it..regular numbers

or



^ made in japan plate..

IF I get the made in japan plate, I'm copping some octane red wipers


which plate would you get?

definitely this one


yellow fog = two thumbs up

you're going all jdm, huh???

amber fog = jdm
smoke/clear = usdm

yeah, i mean im trying to.

no body kits or neon lights and what not

coolest part about jdm headlights..

citylights!

hopefully mine are REAL jdm...not fake...cause then i cant do that!

i'm not a fan of APC and all that stuff

i want to install an alarm by next summer, throw on an Si wing maybe..

i want to put a b18 in it acouple years from now
120k on motor...i'm running it until the block/trans goes.

my older brother is turboing a d16z6 (same motor)..i might buy off him later down

don't buy an used motor that was built for running hard. just ride yours till it's dead and rebuild to your specs. that used motor could last another month or another year or more. who knows and why take a chance.

Good point. 192K on it, too.

Rings are shot, burns oil, etc.

Personally, I'd like to get an engine off ebay jdm used...30-40K on them.

d15b is ok, sohc vtec

but yeah, b16s are a waste imo....not too much more powerful than my d16, id rather get a b18

probably used out of some integra

Try these sites for a used motor. stay away from UPFD.com



Be advised, the quality and durability is a huge issue. Since the internals are not checked, you are taking a chance. Also, with jdm market, forcing people to ditch their motore after 60k miles, you can bet your bottom dollar, they will ride it hard.

The first site is where I got started with the twin turbo conversion. I bought a front clip with the tranny and ecu. The motor had 58k on it and it looked clean, but after 28k, I slipped a rod bearing and opt to pick to another used motor. This one lasted for about 1 year. I admit, the second I've k!lled it. Running more boost then what was suggested for stock block, I was asking for a problem. Lol.

Honest though, you should save and have one built. Used engines are better for your pockets but not too secure for my likings.

Japan direct will have some good deals on tranny but not to much on motors. Average to high retail.

One of my boys have a online store for car parts. It's reperformance.com. Mention my name tae, and he will look out for you. Its not a big shop but good for picking up parts for cheap. Let me or him know.

re site dont work. if you can get a working link, props!

the rest, ill get to tommorow...sleep is calling!

The site is down but here is the number 9199616234. Ask for Jess.

"Be advised, the quality and durability is a huge issue. Since the internals are not checked, you are taking a chance. Also, with jdm market, forcing people to ditch their motore after 60k miles, you can bet your bottom dollar, they will ride it hard."


Explain. IS there a law in Japan forcing people to drop their motors past 60K?

Yup, yup. I had a valve tick in the Saturn after the head swap from downshifting too early and k!lling the 96HP motor lol. I automatically figured bent rod soon to eject out the block, but used a breaker bar to press on the head. Brother taught me that trick to listen to the rods. Rods were fine. Sold the car. Too much head gets into the cam, threads on the bolts goes.....cam moves..

Those motors are crazy expensive, but worth it. New Civic jdm Si motor....$700....brand new car after that.

I believe the exact miles is 68K if I'm not mistaking. Its due to their stringent emission standards. I have heard that you can't even rebuild after 68ks.

If you're referring to the engines on the sites I've provided, those aren't new engines. There's no way they could be new and be that cheap; however, you will get relatively low mileage motore. The question is, what kind of a guy had the motor before you. That is where I get hesitant in buying a motor out of a car, that is known for people hooking it up to go fast.

It will be more but it would be more secure. I could probably best any labor cost you will incur in a build up so let me know if that's what you want to do.

diplo said re site dont work. if you can get a working link, props! the rest, ill get to tommorow...sleep is calling!

he told me because of copyright violation on some of the pictures on the site, he had to take it down, but it will be up soon. the number is still good.

Which is why it costs a crapload more to build up the motor yourself. It's hard to get JDM peices for cheap (block, head, etc).


Some new additions tho dude

camber kit uca's are made from Rhino, skunk2 coilovers, kyb struts

just installed fogs, blew some fuses, melted wires, started a fire. the entire fog housing is hot, ended up grounding to bumper support...

wrapped the support with an entire roll of electrical tape...

took the bumber off 7 times in the past 3 days
spent the entire weekend on the JDM fogs..

installed JDM corners, headlights, and citylights, type R emblems from Japan, got a real Nagano plate coming in, putting on JDM license plate support, maybe soon get a Type-R lip..

not sure when, but soon

i like the JDM bumper. the mirror look like it was a task...

i hope you got the right type of paint for your dash. my buddy with a mr2 did the same, but without the right kind of paint, it all cracked in the summer time. you should look/call around to some junkyards and see if you can get a black interior for your ride. i think it will look better with black interior vs tan.

take some more pictures at dusk, at low levels.

well, i my engine came in wednesday and somebody backed into the rear corner panel of my ride!!!:banghead: the damage is little but it also scratch the hell out of my rims... i had them for about 4 years so i guess it's time for some new ones. thinking of going with the five star design. more likely split five with at least 4in lip and rivets.

It is SLIGHTLY off. lol. dude, it is damn near impossible to match. I'll tell you why. The kat I bought the whip off of mixed integra interior parts. The LS seats do not match! lol


My dream would be a black interior. You're dealing with a complete interior. That is one hell of a task, man. Rear seats, you know I'd cop the front GSR leather seats, black dash, black trim, black rugs....dang! That is alot!

In the future, I might do that. I could make 75 off the seats, 20-50 off the dash, 20 off the rear seats....rugs are ruined..

A pillar is offset, thats why the paint doesn't match.

Next up: tints, alarm.....alarm i can get done for 250, everything...remote start, sensors...all that. I personally ripped out the old alarm, need a new ignition switch, i know how to hook up a alarm...which is why I MIGHT do it.

The tint I can get done for 100-120. Kats are really noticing the whip now.....thieves are populating this place.

Show some pics of that damage. My brother hit a deer. Wrecked fender, carbon fiber hood, windsheild I think...got to call him

nissan primera gt but i think u guys call it an infinity g20 over there

diplo, u should tone it down a lil... i see ur goin for that jdm look, but theres alot of things that throw it away... the advan sticker, the spoon sticker... the red painted thing around the cluster... also the gauge pod with meters... and the red H sign... those are things i would remove.. also i would slap back on the stock lip... that type r lip is specifically made for the 96-2000 civics from what i know.. i remember when i had ur car, it was a 92 civic hatch... lets see if i have pics...


[pic - click to view]


but yeah thats what i did to it... jdm headlights, jdm clear corners, d15b sohc vtec turbo... d15b lsd tranny... etc. the list goes on

I was talking with some people bout this the other day.

I mean, it is what it is. Car came with an EX cluster w/ Tach.

I ain't about to sell the tach...

All those gauges are hooked up and I use them. Oil looses it's viscosity when it's hot. I try to keep the oil cooler than 220-225F. It's my daily driver. I do 80-110mph with it everyday. I run it hard. Always running late for work.

Quote me wrong, but I believe that is a 92-95 CTR lip. It had a stock SI/EX lip on it, and I removed. It had a Honda Oddesy emblem on it. I like the Type-R emblem. Had Advan tires on it...then ES100s..dude clear coated over the stickers....I ain't touchin them...i like them...thats all that matters.

Owner tried to say it had a D15B trans...no it doesn't..

This kat painted the material on the doors red...and I'm not about to pay out of my rear end to buy new door panels, just so I could take off the red on the inside...

But yeah, thanks for looking. Clean Civic.

it is a 92-95 CTR style lip... but they never made 92-95 ctr's... only SiR's... ctr's started in 1996... and thats where the lip appeared... but yeah i thought u painted that red thing urself... LOL, my bad... but if u like it... to each their own

trust me my dude, if it was up to me, it'd have tan doors and no red dash lol


i did alot of dericing when i got it...

i put on drilled/slotted rotors yesterday...dropped the front end alittle more too..

im about to put steelies on it for winter....bout to drop it completely. lol...forget bout the risk lol

SiR EGs had EX/SI lips on them?

im thinkin about an h brace before winter..
