Hi there, i`m new to this forum,so i thought i`d introduce myself.
My name is Nick, and i`m from the Netherlands. I used to drive Renualt`s, but made the switch to my Honda civic coupe 3 jears ago. Before that i had a R5 Gt turbo, Clio 1.8 16v, and a Meganè coupé. All very nice cars, but the last one fell apart alot and drove me nuts because of that. Thats why i decided to switch to Honda. My brother has a 1989 crx that he has driven every day for the past 10 jears, and it has never broken down or fallen apart!

So this is my ride....

Some specs:

*B16A2 swap
*Spoon intakefilter
*Spoon oilcap
*Spoon radiatorcap
*SRR engine mounts
*SRR oil catch can
*SRR coolant reservoir
*SRR adjustable camgears
*Arospeed groundwire kit
*Toda timingbelt
*Taylor battery relocater kit
*Fidanza flywheel
*Exedy clutch
*Hondata heatshield gasket
*Invidia catback
*Catalitic converter
*JCP exhaust manifold (mugen replica)
*KW variant 2 coilover
*DC sports strut upper rear
*Neuspeed crossmember rear
*Suspension Techniques anti swaybar rear
*Carbing 3 point strutbrace + brakestopper
*Vti front brakes
*Goodridge brake leads
*16" 5zigen ProRacer GN+
*Toyo Proxes T1-R 195/45/16
*Lightweightt aluminium lugnuts
*Type R frontlip

Nice ride! Now all you gotta do is switch out the tail lights for a set of 99-00 tails and youll be golden.

Hahaha...you don`t know how many people told me that. I`m gonna change the tails, but 99-00 tails are no where to be found in Holland.

you can usually find them on ebay...most sellers will send them internationally so long as you're not from asia (lots of scams from there on ebay)

check with major part suppliers in the US, they ship internationally. Honda is also really good about sending factory parts internationally, but you will pay more for them.

good luck, and that's a nice looking car.

HOW DID U PAINT UR VALE COVER SO GOOD!?!?!

HOW DID U PAINT UR VALE COVER SO GOOD!?!?!


Like this...

Smear the valve cover with paint stripper.
http://www.kingruler.nl/gallery/albums/album156/IMG_3695.sized.jpg

After that it looks like this....
http://www.kingruler.nl/gallery/albums/album156/IMG_3700.sized.jpg

When you have removed all the paint,go over it with some scotchbrite and put it in the dishwasher for like a half hour. Then it looks nice and clean.
http://www.kingruler.nl/gallery/albums/album156/IMG_3701.sized.jpg

http://www.kingruler.nl/gallery/albums/album156/IMG_3702.sized.jpg

Later just mask off the parts of the cover that you don`t want to paint.
http://www.kingruler.nl/gallery/albums/album156/IMG_3710.sized.jpg

Shoot primer for aluminum.
http://www.kingruler.nl/gallery/albums/album156/IMG_3712.sized.jpg

And after that, color and heat resistant clearcoat.

And voila.

omg ur king of valve covers lol how did u make the letters white white out gettin it on the cover..

Nick b16
03-29-2007, 03:59 PM
Thanx for the positive reply`s guys. Feel right at home:D

@ JohnnyTEAMDSR: In the picture the letters look like their white. After i painted the color on i sanded the paint off the letters with some sandingpaper wrapped around a peice of wood to bring out the color of the aluminum. After that i covered it with the clearcoat. You could also mask off the letters or put some chapstick on it before painting.

Ow, and ROTM would be cool!!:D

welcome to the forum



Thanx dude.

Ive been playing with the idea of turboing my engine, but i really have a thing for N/A tuned engines. I`m still looking into my options. I dont have that much knowledge about the technical aspects of tuning.Thats why i join forums like these, to understand more about it. I know most things about engines, but turbo charging,thats like a whole fillosephy.

03-30-2007, 06:05 PM
where did you get the carbon fiber spark plug cover

Nick b16
03-30-2007, 07:00 PM
@ Scrapdoggydog: The color on the valve cover looks blue, but it`s more like purple.
It`s a color by Motip(don`t know if that`s a wellknown brand in the states)strait off the rack.
Don`t know the colorcode.

@ heymikey19: I believe the sparkplug cover is from a dutch company called JCP.
Don`t know exactly where it`s from cause a friend gave it to me. It`s supposed to be a spoon replica i think.

Cleaned up my engine today, looks much better now.
Man, removing the gasket of the intake manifold was a bitch! But i got the job done....with a little help from my brother:D

Almost ready to swap this thing now. Stil waiting on the clutch to arrive, gaskets and some other smal stuf

This thread makes me wish I had not gone to college...

I could be tuning my civic like a freak if I was back in my hometown. I have to work so much during the summers, I never have any time to hang out or work on other stuff. Such a bummer.

Maybe after college, I can get some of that done.

Got myself a new toy today.

Oem Honda Vtec controller. At least that`s what i was told.

Remmy
04-05-2007, 05:02 PM
Thats cool and all but I wouldnt have got a vtec controller. There is really not much point in fooling with it because vtec is already at a premo setting by the factory. The only reason why you would want to fool with it in a since if if you have a large turbo to accomodate.

Nick b16
04-05-2007, 05:40 PM
I thought it was kind of cool to have, since it was originally an option for an ITR and a friend of mine was selling it and that it`s a pretty rare part around here. Otherwise i wouldnt have bought it.

After a loooooong time finally got some more work done.

Changed the header for a comptech.

http://www.kingruler.nl/gallery/albums/album156/IMG_5487s.jpg

http://www.kingruler.nl/gallery/albums/album156/IMG_5485s.jpg

The header was originally for an Integra, so some modifications were made, and we fitted a little pipe between the header and the cat.

http://www.kingruler.nl/gallery/albums/album156/IMG_5490s.jpg

Suspension Techniques swaybar and Neuspeed tie bar and brace were fitted.

Fitted the catch cans.

http://www.kingruler.nl/gallery/albums/album156/IMG_5501s.jpg

A friend of mine had a carbon airbox from a S2k left over that he wasn`t using. So he sawed off a piece and made it so it would fit in my enginebay.


http://www.kingruler.nl/gallery/albums/album157/2007_06130811060006.sized.jpg

Hahaha, "Telefoonapparatuur" good word for playing scrabble:D It means "phone equipment".
The radiator stay is something my brother had laying around and wasn`t using it for his project anymore. And yeah you`re right, the price for it is just stupid. I bet the folks at Spoon are laughing theis ass off.:D

The swap itself was about 2500 euros. It cost me another 1000 euros to replace all the smal stuff like gaskets, rings, seals, hoses, nuts and bolts, all oem Honda stuff.
B16`s are getting harder to find over here. But i got mine relatively cheap.

Ow, and thanks for the positive feedback guys!:D

Cars looking great man, keep up the good work and keep the pics comming.

Thanks guys:D

@ speed_o: I don`t have that much experience, just a couple of good friends and my brother that helped me out.
Without them it probably wouldn`t have come out like this. As for money, it took every penny i could spare for over 12 months.

@ Flip: That would be nice;)

Whats up guys! Haven't been here for a while. Thought i'd say what's up, and post up some updates.

Ditched my airbag in favor of a sparco steering wheel.

And i swapped my srr motormounts for a set of Hasports's. The srr's were just too hard. from 120 km/h i needed earplugs because the hard mounts resonated to much sound within the car.
Great for track/drag use, but not for road unfortunally.

Got a set of new seats today. They're Recaro's from an evo7.
I also ordered a set of EK9 seat mounts from Japan so the seats can be installed.
I'll post some more pics when i got them in the car.
