Is your name Itinerant? or WELLFEDHOBO? Just curious lot of people seem to call you by that name as well, haha. Man from point A to B your thread is amazing. I've stayed up reading this badboy and WOW that interior work seems like a complete btich to have done but amazing outcome. I'm definitely going to keep in touch with your thread and I'm looking forward with your LED conversion, engine swap and the whole si conversion, if your still completing.

Oh, and a very dead-on criticism, why not get new floor carpeting! haha that purp would look alot better black ;D

 

My name WAS itinerant, but people have had problems spelling, pronouncing, and defining my name ever since I joined. (I didn't think it was that hard, really.) So I begged and pleaded with the Admins (who by rule wont just change a name because you ask) and got it changed to something very obvious.

And thanks for the comments. I don't know if the whole Si thing is still happening. I think I'll call it a luxury Civic and end it at that. I dont wanna get new carpet because it was so damn hard to swap it out to start with. I'll pull everything apart once, but twice is too much of a stretch. Ugh. I'll just cover the carpet with the black mats that'll be here on Tuesday.

And on the LED conversion, I may just do it all 100% custom. Looks like it might be cheaper that way. I'm sorta handy with a soldering iron... but its a ton of work.

 

where did you order the floormats from?

 

haha thats funny with the whole name change to that. So im assuming no more B16 swap since its not a SI conversion agnymore? What about ya seats aren't they still grey?

When buying new OEM parts, you have two choices:
1. Majestic Honda
2. H and A Accessories.

B16 really is overrated. I was thinking LS/VTEC. It'll be a B18 block with a B16 head. And the seats are still grey. Looks like an Integra, black interior and grey seats. It's another CivTegra...

 

FINALLY someone else on here sees the overratedness of the B16. GSR or LS-V swaps are so much better. But, my next motor will be an H22. I see them cheap and you can easily get good numbers NA or FI.

 

what are the advantages of a B18 w/ B16 head? the LS-VTEC

 

The LS block is a bit more solid. More powerful, thicker cylinder walls, better for boost. But the LS head is non-vtec. Putting a B16 head on it gives it vtec and I think a higher compression rate? I forget. Someone else know some pluses?

 

man i want the oem floor mats, but dont want to fish out $70 for them. did you end up getting them?

 

Ordered, due here Tuesday.
