well how about posting some info... i dont want to sign up for another forum just to see a picture or two.....

tho hate to say it.... but start a new thread.... sorry for hijacking your thread reaper......

 

I could probably figure it out... does any1 know what kind of signal is given by the taco wire? pulses, increasing voltage eg 0 - 12v???

 

No problem, man... I understand, it happens

and to get this thread back on-topic, here's some project pics:


Jeez... the thing looks like a monster truck compared to how it was sitting this summer lol


If you look closely, you can see I don't have a passenger side skirt... it blew off while I was driving last summer lol


The rust on the driver's side quarter panel


The passenger side rust


A "before" shot of the suspension/exhaust... hopefully it'll be a good bit different when I'm done


I got tired of how the muffler was hanging off-center in the exhaust cutout... so I ghetto-rigged it... it cost me $0.00 and it hangs almost perfectly in the center of the cutout. I can't really get the cat-back until after the swap since the H22 header won't line up with the civic's exhaust.


The reason why I need a new sunroof switch lol... not to mention the sunroof switch doesn't work anymore


My a-pillar trim has been drilled into, sanded down, painted, etc. I'd really like some new ones lol


The nice dim stock guages... I'll be ordering the blue LEDs tomorrow hopefully


The stock climate control lighting... I had to hit the dash to get it to light up this much. I'll be ordering the green cold cathodes when I order the LEDs (green/blue to match my head unit)


A "before" shot of the lighting


This doesn't really have much to do with the project... but I thought it was a cool shot


Another vanity shot

 

looks good.. only thing i would do..... is paint the hubcaps black LMFAO
hell i still have to swap my climate controls.... im such a procastinator on little things...
at least yours comes on.... i have to turn my lights on and then hit the dash a few times above the climate controls for 1 of the bulbs to work.LOL ghetto as hell!!!!!!!

 

yeah, I had to bang on the dash a few times to get the climate controls to light up for the camera

Anyway, I just got off the phone with my friend (who was thinking about buying my turbo... he won't, but I might end up turboing the civic now [8D] )... his friend from work's friend is selling an older 'teg... It has a "b16" motor in it (my friend thinks it was swapped, but he says it might be a b18 (which for the members relatively new to hondas, should be in the integra anyway)). Another plus is that it's a 5-speed (as opposed to my automatic civic)... aaaaaaaannnd... it's $500 for the car... it'll have everything except the seats (my friend says the owner wants to keep them). The only thing (according to my friend) wrong with the car is that it's rusted, but who cares? I'm probably just going to strip the car and sell what's left to a scrapyard. I figure if I have the integra, I have everything (and I mean everything) for the auto to manual swap (assuming the manual pedal set bolts up and everything) as well as the engine swap.

Well, I'm just hoping I can buy the car... my friend says there's a kid offering $600 for the car and if I don't have the $500 "tonight", the guy is selling it for $600. I'm thinking I can talk the guy into waiting until tomorrow when I can have the title changed (with my luck, I'd pay $500 tonight and the guy would report the car stolen tomorrow lol).

 

i wish you luck!!!!!!!!

 

thanks.... and I just got off the phone with the guy who's selling the car... he's towing it (the front brakes need replaced and the lines need replaced... I'm not sure if the car has been inspected... you know... lol) to my house tomorrow and I'm paying for it then. He said it was a single overhead cam, so I don't know if it's a d16 (since D and B sound pretty similar) or if he just doesn't know what he's talking about. I made sure it's a 5-speed though... so at the very least, I got a total and utterly complete transmission swap for $500. I'm still hoping it's a b16 though... you gotta love dohc's

 

hopefully it goes good for ya but dont get to excited..... he could be BSing about the other guy just so you buy it fast......

wish ya luck tho hopefully it is a good deal for ya....

 

okay, now I seriously f***ing hate my parents... last night around 10 (after letting me think I'm allowed buying the car for 2 hours), they decided that I'm not allowed to buy the car because "it's too much money to spend"... wtf?!?! It's $500 for an utterly complete transmission swap! I tried explaining to them that all the parts I'd need to buy for a transmission swap would be d*** close to $1500 once you include the new clutch and everything, but my mom's head is so f***ing far up her a** that she didn't hear me, and my dad won't let me get the car because he doesn't want my mom to get p***ed at him for letting me. So now, thanks to them, I get to either spend $3k-$3500 to swap to a 5-speed and boost my D or spend $3k to swap to a 5-speed H22. I understand that the 'teg had 200k miles, but still... for $500, I could buy the d*** thing, part it out, and junk what's left (probably turning d*** close to a $500 profit). My dad tried telling me that the transmission is probably junk after 200k miles and I'd need to replace the gears, clutch, and everything else... well, who's to say I won't have to do the same thing with a transmission that only has 100k miles on it? My friend's truck is still on the stock clutch after 300k miles (hell, everything is stock on that thing), and it's still going strong. My parents keep telling me I need to save up for college... well, hell, it's $500 (and I'd be garanteed to get my money's worth, too)... I spent more than that on the body kit that's now sitting (and useless to me) in my garage. Now, because I have to "save up for school", I get to pay 6-7 times more for what I want to do with the car. I don't f***ing get it.

*edit: oh, did I mention what an a**hole I felt like calling the guy and telling him I can't buy the car less than 24 hours after guaranteeing him I could pay for it in cash?

*edit #2: also, I forgot to say... my friend Alex (who told me about the car in the first place) said he thought it had 200k miles.... and that the engine had been rebuilt recently.

 

Bummer man...would have been a good deal...even to buy it at $500 and build it up...stuff happens I guess[&:]
