So to start off, I bought my civic about 6-8 months ago and the motor was basically in pieces and Frankenstein'd together. I done my first swap going from a 1998 D16Y8 to 1996 D16Y5. I used my y8 body, trans, and wiring harness with the y5 ecu (p2n-a22), and motor. I drove it for about 3-4...

Must have accidentally posted it there. Will have a mod move it.

Yeah I had them dipped for my integra and they didn't look good on the civic. :) I like it better without

Yeah I will get new headlights soon but I was bored and wanted to do a cheap mod. [emoji3]

Good eye [emoji14] actually that's why I decided to swap a new motor instead of fixing the old one. They had a d15b7 head (non VTEC) on a d16y8 VTEC block. And after tearing the old motor down I found out it was just a hg lol. So I'm looking for a complete y8 head and will use it as a spare for...

Ok so I haven't updated this thread in a while. I painted the bay black and painted my reservoirs white. Also took the plastidip off my rims and painted my housings black. And today I sanded the car. Will be taking it in for paint Monday and having it done a candy blue.

Measure the spring uncompressed and look up one spring height. Fairly simple to do if we have enough information

New headlight and wipers on my civic. @mantinencebefiremods

True but if she hasn't had that checked out and I was under the assumption its well maintained. That contradicts itself and that makes me believe it is in as bad of shape if nit worse than the civic. (Which I have already put struts on)

According to the girl now it won't shift past second and you can't put it in park without using the key lock release half the time. So idk what the deal is with it. At first I though shift solenoid and now I'm thinking there is 1,000,001 problems with that car

I got the civic with all those "upgrades" and I could fix all the issues and do a b swap on it but then I'd have more money and effort in it than I could buy me another teg for

A 18 year old female Honda enthusiast owns it. She doesn't dog it out and she is a mantinence over mods type of person if that helps out. It is in great shape cosmetically compared to my civic (junkyard special) but it's still a slap shifter instead of my standard. Only thing holding me back...

A friend of mine wants to trade cars and im contemplating it. So here's the good and bad on both and some pictures at the bottom. Give me your input So my current car is a 98 civic D16y5 roller rocker cams The good EBay coils EBay exhaust system No name 4-2-1 headers The bad Bad winsheild...

You could always swap a motor in it to save the hastle of throwing money into a motor that needs more time and effort than just dropping a used motor in there. (Especially paying someone to do it. As you already know, most mechanics will take multiple hours to do something that takes 30 minutes...

I have complete heads for a y8 you can have if need be. Also did you run it hot at all or was it all of a sudden?

Welcome officially. And post some pics of that crx :3

Hook it up to a odb scanner. I did that with mine and it was idling high after I swapped a motor. Adjusted it to read 16 on the timing and now she screams

Okay so heres an update. Had my buddy come over and that was a quick connect for the vtec plug in. And I bypassed the egr value with no issues. Put in a y5 ecu in it and she Flys down the road for a single cam And the y8 was in my 98 and the y5 came out of a 96 (same bodystyle) So if anyone...

Okay so about the eBay issue. There are name brands on eBay and no names..... Now a header for $20 on eBay, probably going to have bad welds and cheap metal. But you pay a lot for a name... Look at audi and lexus. They are high end cars but that dosent guarantee them to last longer than a...

I'm not a fan if lsvtec because no oil squirter. I was just going off of what he used to have. He is used to a lot of power with the k series and the ls motor isn't half of what a k series is
