GReddy_Civic's build thread v2.5-Same car, new direction

[GReddy_Civic]

Welp, I suppose it’s time for another build thread. This is going to be the second car I own (which, I don’t actually have. I know it’s going to be a 1999-2000 Civic EX 5spd 2dr in either silver or black). The first few weeks of updates will consist of pictures of stripping the car. I was in an accident and the car was totaled, pics are here: http://www.hondacivicforum.com/forum...ad.php?t=76548. My first car (the one being stripped) is a 1997 4dr EX 5spd. It had the stock D16Y8 with ARP head studs. There was a GReddy 15g turbo on it, tuned at 10psi by John Kerr of j-k-tuning.com at Innovative MotorWorks. It made 202whp/185wtq. Most of you are familiar with my first thread following my turbo progress, found here: http://www.hondacivicforum.com/forum...ad.php?t=67117. Anyway... here are the plans for the new civic: Drop on koni yellows and ground controls Rebuild one of the D16Y8's with new seals/gaskets and swap into the new civic along with the turbo setup Minor wire tuck 3" exhaust with test pipe OEM 99-00 Si lip color matched and a 99-00 Si grill color matched-Bought OEM foglights-Bought Spray paint the FMIC-Doing New oil drain line kit Just keep in mind that this is what I would like to have done in the next month. I will keep the other D16Y8 to build for more boost. This will probably take a while to strip at first. I can't stand for more than 15 min because of my back and I am starting physical therapy on July 3rd.

I say paint everything (interfooler, piping, mani, and couplers) all black for a factoryish look under the hood.

^ i like that idea.

how much did you buy it for/get from insurance?

[WellFedHobo]

In for the subscription and the parts list. Whew, that's gonna be some work...

[GReddy_Civic]

i only paid $255 to get it back. Goin out to work on it now before the cookout later

[ej6buddy]

wtf?? 250 for the buy back? That's crazy, mine was gonna be like $1500 for the buy back, even when half my parts were missing, f'in crooks.

God that's nothing!!! Very nice Not sure how it works, but insurance pays you what the car is supposedly worth right? and then you get the option to buy it from them?
