New car .... :) not a civic tho, but close enough
 

I'm picking up my new car wednesday, well, new to me. It's a 90 integra with a fresh built b18b1... What do you think.

It's got a few mods,
- Megan strut bars, Coil Overs, Stage 3 clutch and ultralight flywheel, Brembo cross drilled and slotted rotors, Greddy turbo timer, high flow cat, adjustable cam gears, t3/t4 turbo, Greddy S Type Blow off valve, Custom full race manifold, hks apexi n1 titanium muffler, 450 cc injectors... and some interior and exterior mods that arent as important :)

Looks nice.. why is owner selling and how much??

RE: New car .... :) not a civic tho, but close enough
 

He's selling it b/c he is going back to school and needs money. It needs a little work done still, nothing major. I got it for 3000, minus the x-box. The car is clean, and it runs strong, motor was just done about 100 miles before he took it off the road.

Nice car, looks like you have a pretty good deal.

RE: New car .... :) not a civic tho, but close enough
 

jeeze boy how many cars u need?

RE: New car .... :) not a civic tho, but close enough
 

It's only my 3rd car right now... My civic, my thunderbird which my mom is driving, and now the integra. :) There's a long story behind what happened to my blazer and s-10... Then there's always the parts car :)

RE: New car .... :) not a civic tho, but close enough
 

Solid. Looks like a lot of work went into that car. One question though, why put so much work into a B1? Is it already low compression/boost friendly?

RE: New car .... :) not a civic tho, but close enough
 

Umm... I'm not to sure about the b1. This will be my first experience with a jdm dohc. Should be very interesting tho. The car has been garage kept and not driven in the winter for at least the past 5 years... and there is no rust anywhere to be found on it, very unusual for a New York car.

RE: New car .... :) not a civic tho, but close enough
 

maybe it has forged internals instead of the stop ones, so he can run more boost

RE: New car .... :) not a civic tho, but close enough
 

As stock Honda motors go, it doesn't really get any more boost-friendly than a B18B.

RE: New car .... :) not a civic tho, but close enough
 

Nice looking car. Im pretty sure thats a lookalike full race manifold.......as the real ones are bank breakers.

RE: New car .... :) not a civic tho, but close enough
 

sounds like a good deal to me...have u test drove it yet?

RE: New car .... :) not a civic tho, but close enough
 

I brought it home... ohh my god, turbos kick ass.. lol. That car is insane :). I'm just waiting for the insurance company to fax over an insurance card with the right date on it. It didnt like the flatbed at all. Had to put a few block under the tires to get it onto the trailer. But as soon as I get the right cards and the arp head bolts in, I'll be good to go. Engine purrs, and that stage 3 is going to take some getting used to.

** edit... well it did run great for the first 80 miles or so... god damn, guess i'm glad i didnt pay what he wanted for it.

RE: New car .... :) not a civic tho, but close enough
 

nice car..gl with it

RE: New car .... :) not a civic tho, but close enough
 

I havent been on long enough to give the story ... so here goes, the car wasnt exactly as "pretty" as the picture... There was a little excess bondo... they tried to mold in the body kit and it cracked off... and the body line as well. And it's got the fiberglass slr fenders that dont link up right... along with a shotty spray paint job to try and make it look better. The engine needed a lot more work that he said... he originally told me that new head bolts would make it run perfect... b/c he just re used the old ones. But... I got head studs and had the head ripped off to put them in, apparently it was warped, and there were bolts missing off the cam, valve cover and everything else, and no timing cover, and the supposedly new "cam seals" were basically not there... the head gasket was lined with silicone.. so I ended up paying a grand for the car, which is well worth it for the turbo and everything, and the 700 or soto have the head and everything done (it wont be dont til monday)... and 400 to have it towed home. Yeah... overall, the car is fast as hell, needs a lil body work, but i guess til then it's a sleeper :)

RE: New car .... :) not a civic tho, but close enough
 

take the kit off and goto a junk yard and put the stock back on....lol then you'll really have a sleeper

ya i cant wait until i get a turbo, ill never wanna go back to a regular engine
