Hey every body Im steve and I have a 97 Civic Dx Coupe
So far its had a front end swap and a motor swap
The front end is a JDM Honda Domani AKA acura EL,
A b16a swap Yes just an A because we originally got screwed over in the process so we had to conver it from obd0 to obd2.... But thats in the past
a few mods performance wise is the motor Supposidly came with ITR cams already installed on them (i question the validity of the source) however i compared the cams to a second parts b16a2 from an EM1 i got for 275 bucks block head crank and cams... he dint know what he had haha!! but ne ways i compared teh cams and the ones out of the b16 are larger so Weather its because of the fact that the obd0 b16a had bigger cam lobes on the vtec part i still never got an answer when i ask people. BUT NE WAYS lengthy introduction i know.. i have an under drive pully ( ebay special) and an ACT 8 lb fly wheel with a stage one exedy clutch. Nothing at all special tho. oh and some FNF wheels (The came off my sisters car ) hahaha i hate them ALOT but i have EM1 wheels i just need to finish sanding them and either paint them or brillo bad then back to the OEM look and clear them depending on the shape of the metal. here is a pic Ive already taken an asload of space as an introduction Sorry lol
