Post n000b

Bought my civic/first car sept 09 for 800$ spent $250 on red parts (fender,hood,bumper,bumper brace) Another $150 on windshield and $800 on paint/body just to get it rolling in one color and not 2.

Came like this - minus red parts. had to find a donar car for those.



Came out like this



Started with a d16, motor blew 2 months after, put in d15b vtec, something just recently went on it and now within the last month installed a b18c1.

Not running proper. But hopefully soon enough.

b18c1/ aem intake/ greddy full exhaust/ h&r springs/ motegi FF7 17"rims/Falken tires / amber lens, clear/red tails/ Cf duckbill wing

More parts to come, new paint and body work in the spring, and suspension.

Welcome to the site, nice car! Looks like alot of work has been put in it, I like everything except the wheels. They're just too big for me, but other than that, that's a nice hatch man.

^^ +1 about the wheel size. Otherwise, I like everything else!

Welcome tot the forum!

What is going on with the current B18c swap to make it "not running proper"?

Thanks. I still want to lower the car since the springs weren't what i was looking for, Maybe drop to 16" or 15" rims if its not the way i like it by the time i buy my new suspension. As its only around 1" - 1.5 drop right now.

The b18 i recently installed is running, but not drivable. CEL codes are coming up since i have obd2 motor and obd1 car, didn't know to install the secondary o2 sensor. Well the sensor i have is different colors than which i have found online for a secondary o2 off a GSR car. So having wiring complications and noone on forums to tell me how. And having no garage and -20 weather isnt my cup of tea.

And the cars has come along way. Should have it how i want it by summer and some more $ lol. But its my project and i enjoy it.

Just buy an OBD1 computer, and a jumper harness, and you'll be running obd1.
