i ended up deciding to do somethin different.. i always loved wings west so i decided to hunt down thier polyurethane lip kit.... because we all know jdm is best.

and boi did i have to hunt. it took me about 6 weeks to get the sides, I GAVE 100 FOR THEM..., and another 3 months to get the front & rear. i finally found it on california's craigslist, in VERY good shape for 250$ SHIPPED!!!

- F & R - G5 wing west lips (still sell for 569$ from wings west)
- 96-2000 civic wings west racing series sides (151$ from wings west)

i scored the demon carbon fiber wing off a dudes Evo on base for 120$ because he got a cf trunk... plus i like autocrossing, a lot of people like it on my car, it matches the body lines really well... (ill take some angle pics to show what I mean a little later...) but, a few people hate the wing, ... i only have one thing to say: "SO WHAT, ITS STAYING. THIS IS MY DAMN CAR, SO FUCK YOU." other than that, ENJOY!!

@ this point i was still running the n/a d15b7 w/142whp w/ some tuning.... hell i dont even have pictures of that shit.... this is also the time i joined D series.

wait, i lied, i have one from the swap....

i had a garret turbo w/ greddy rs bov, 2- 1/2 inch exhaust main 187.3whp & a measly 126.2tq w/ a very safe tune.

sooo now the fun starts to happen... i started learning a lot about hondas from YOU GUYS, my D series fam( THANKS GUYS!! )

AND I WANTED A B SERIES!!! so i sourced one out, a 99 GSR w/ 76,000 original miles. i gave 1400$ all together for the complete swap.

heres my man Art w/ the swap....

he's a really really good friend as we (along w/ K.C.) tackled the swap together w/ a couple of the local hash smokin, booze drinkin "hoods"...(lorne, ju. jay) & i stored my car in his garage for damn near 3 weeks!! (THANKS ART & NICKY(the wife)!! I love you guys!!!) this was my 1st swap so i took my time, and did it right.... i also learned most of my honda knowledge @ this time, and id like to say, there's NOTHING like hands on experience.

the 1st thing i installed was a skunk 2 pro series intake mani, seen here....

we yanked the d15b7, i sold the complete swap fo 300 dollars to make up for what i payed for the intake. let me tell you, this motor mustve known i was finna sell out on it, because it took 2 days for us to calm down & be level headed enough to get the fuckin' pass. side drive axle out!!! Lol!

heres one of them damn local "hoods", my bro Prince Ju....

heres what else they brought....

YOU GUESSED IT, GOLDSCHLAGER & IT DID MORE THAN KEEP US WARM!

 

here's the old faithful d15b7;

the empty bay....

now... time to drop the B!!!! after i cleaned the bay a bit... right before nightfall we were lowering the engine...

finally got it all down & bolted in....

after i hooked up all the hoses & fluids, i took her for a drive on a no-tech p06..

and got damn... i really noticed a hell o' a difference right away. im NEVER coming back to the D. Sorry, i love it... but i gotta do whats best. i got my p72 about 2 weeks later cuz my ecu was no bueno.... i paid 100$ for it. i had a friend wire vtec 1hr. later... and i was IN LOVE.

I was gonna say something about that wing and it being 2009, but then I remembered your gun...heehee. doh.

 

ummmmmmmmm??


Cool swap? Cant say much for the exterior.

 

Its kool man, it NEEDS PAINT! Haahaha that used to be my sig.

But I ko once its painted, it'll be a totally different looking car.

It takes time.

Thanks.

nice car man, sad to see another d being left for a b series but whatever works for you. keep up the good work :td:

 

i can def appreciate the time and work put in.. what was the mod list with the 143 whp d15 though out of curiosity..? i can also say ive never personally seen that lip kit..

lip kit doesnt look bad but i think it would be better if color matched.... not really feelin the wing or tails though... what are ya thinking of as for a boosted setup? ive got a boosted gsr, itd be nice if it was done.. but oh well sometime hell will freeze over lol

 

HAHHA! i know man... it takes a lot of time and patience... ad sometimes it does feel like we gotta wait for pigs to fly to make stuff happen.

damn it was so long ago... on the d, so ill giv you what i know.....
-airmass header & catless exhaust stepped to 2.5"
-c.a.i.
-skunk 2 i.m.
-68mm t.b.
-stage 2 port/polished head w/ 3 angle valve job
-p28 ecu
-safc
-b&m fuel press regulator & str fuel rail
-ctr crank pulley
-cometic compression riser head gasket
-aem 5 bolt cam gear

and some minor tuning man... honestly thats all i can remember.. but it feels like im leaving something out...

 

what does it look like inside the power chamber intake ive always been curious as ive never seen one in person

 

man, aint shit in here!!! Its a big ass open space bro... Its all marketing lies.. It used to have a ram air duct that attached to it... But other than that... Its just like any other intake.. Just bigger.

 

I haven't had popcorn in a While opcorn:

lol




Good work so for Dawg :td:

 

woah, to much to quote to much to type.

clip note version


your skunk2 "header" is an intake manifold

that mad tyte "jdm" mirror delete is just how normal 92-93 dx coupes are no side mirror.

the car looks confused and kinda ricey but it may look better after paint.

its not my style but its not my ride so do you homie.

 

I was like what the hell? Where is a skunk 2 header?! Give it to me... then I saw the damn typo...

Thanks for pointing that out...

My car is a 95 btw, my good friend sent me the delete from Japan, so mines real, he's stationed there.

Yeh, im sure the paint will tie it all together.. Pictures really don't do the car any justice... that and the fact its not painted due to everything else goin wrong!

Thanks.

 

nice work on being so dedicated to your car. It will be soooo worth it when u see the end results of your hard work & labour

*ninja edit* wings ftmfw

 

To each his own. Looks alot better than some other cars with wings. Waiting to see the finished pics. Thanks for serving your country dude. Good job!

 

Thanks man...

That lil hatch you got there's not to shabby either btw....

 

Threads been cleaned, keep it in pm's next time.

temporarily removing to give him a chance to contact me.....

 

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^Definately wanna clear this up.

I hate theives.
Bump for answers.

 

Temporarily removing to give him a chance to settle up.....

 

Daniel man whats up? I woke up this morning w/ pms of your posts on my thread from friends.

Dude, i lost my phone in late feb. So thats mainly the only reason you havent heard from me. You have to realize i only had a phone number and an email address for you which were both stored in my phone. My number is only suspended until i return from deployment.

You can email me anytime on here, or @ wsh_b@yahoo.com

i have no reason to steal or lie to you. Youve got to understand that i got an involuntary assignment to korea. The "money" you see that you think is yours, 600$ is nowhere in that car. That money that has been spent is from my savings from iraq, and money i got from re-enlisting. The mods were made late april when my grandfather died (hence the sig, rip grandpa 4-20-09) thats when i came home for his funeral, and made the mods w/ friends.

It kind of pisses me off to see the shit ypu wrote, but @ the same time i understand what you are saying. But dude, i took you to my house for a reason. I shared things w/ you i dont share w/ 2 many people unless i deem them as friends.

I hoped that you would realize that hey, if somethong goes wrong you can come here to my home, or @ least shoot me some snail mail. Instead you have no problem jumping on here & finding me, then bashing me on my own thread. Why would i post a thread of a car if i was supposed to hide from you? I attepmted to find you on honda tech before they booted me off for fighting w/ some douche.

And as far as going to court, theres no need for that, but in the case you do, do you realize you only have 6 months to file in small claims? And that youve gotta put up 2500 bux just for a bonded attorney pre-trial!

Cmon man, i know the law to, but i have no reason to try to get over on you bro.

Now where i do have a discrepency in payment was the 1600 bux. I couldve sworn we agreed on 1325, because of 275$ bux missing your way. But i will pay you man, i can start paying you 100 bux amonth til i come home in late feb. Thatl make about 600 bux, then ill give you the rest when i get home.

Stay in contact w/ me any way you can.

I got you bro, you're good people, and i refuse to get fucked off because of some petty bullshit.

 

never saw this thread..
nice work,
not to big on the wing or the tails,
But i think once its painted,and the lips and sides are color matched that it will look pretty good!
