Put my 5Zigen wheels back on (for the first time in over 2 years) today.
Lowered the rear about another inch.
Detailed the living shit out of the interior.

Got a LOT done today. Still need a few other things done, but its storming. But I got the main areas done. I'm probably gonna wash/wax first thing in the morning (around 7am, lol) and clean the wheels/tires and get them shining up real good. Then head down to Richmond around 9.

*ordered the cheapest short ram intake I could find, as I have no intentions of using the filter that comes with it. I will be ordering a Blox Velocity Stack kit for use with it.
Ordering this tomorrow:

BIG updates coming soon. My DA will finally be getting a new heart, and I'd like to get some new visual updates for it, too.

the swap:
http://www.japaneseengineimport.com/engine_details/honda_b18c-gsr/

I'm only paying $2600 out the door since I'm local, and a friend in that shop's area put in a good word for me. Owner set me up with a deal. Knocked $100 off the price, and won't charge me tax. $2600 out the door for a complete swap with start-up guarantee and warranty.

get yourself a b16 hydro transmission and swap out the gears, differential, and final drive into your cable transmission casing, very easy and well worth it b4 you do the swap

 

[jdmjim]

sweet dude, that swap is gonna be bad

already comes with a hydro GS-R transmission. I had found a cable b16 transmission to trade for, but after driving a local guy's car with the same overall swap as me, using the innovative cable-to-hydro actuator i posted, i'm convinced it'll be fine. he said he's had it for about a year and a half, and has never had any problems. he gave me the okay to beat on it a bit, so i did some pretty aggressive shifting, and it felt fine. was a little awkward at first, because his clutch has a very different grab point than my DA, but after a few good shifts, it was gravy. felt fine, and he's never had issues. I threw quite a bit at it, with his full permission, and I'm convinced it'll do what I need it to do on my swap.

I believe it was you, also, who suggested I do that in my WTB thread a few weeks back. again, I don't have the time to swap gears, etc. in to the casing. i'm only gonna have a little over a day to do everything from beginning to end. not gonna have time to crack the cases open and play switch-a-roo. i definitely appreciate the advice, and it doesn't seem that hard to do. nothing i can't handle, i just won't have the time to do it, at all.

Jim, thanks.

I'll be in Sterling on Wednesday to pick it up

That sucks. Sorry about the loss. Take all your JDM parts off as the insurance won't pay squat for them.

 

[imcnblu]

this thing has been rebuilt. same car, revived from certain death. it is now about to undergo its first heart transplant. check the more recent pages and see how it turned out. what wreck? lol
