My friend kevins 1996 prelude vtec

Thank you to kevin for helping me with all of this, and to my girlfriend for not killing me.


When I bought the gsr it was still drivable, but highly illegal. I had to stick my head out the window ace ventura style. The exhaust was broken after the cat and you could really hear the vtec. It took about twelve hour to completely strip the gsr. I put a new water pump, timing belt, cm stg3 clutch, and 7.5 fidanza flywheel before I swapped the motor in my ls. it took about ten hours to swap from the b18b to the b18c1. Had to wire the vtec and get a obd2-obd1 conversion harness. No major problems anywhere. It was a straight foward easy swap. vtec is definately really nice, especially after driving an ls for the past year. BTW: I'm 18 and was still in high school at the time. Tell me what you think. Other mods include:
injen cai(modifided ls), cm stg3 clutch, 7.5 ibs flywheel, sportline springs, tokico illumina shocks, kumho mx's, power slots rotors, aem pads, 98+ tail lights, jdm cluster, stripped ac and ps and a camber kit

what up. i guess i got some parts from this car?

how much was the gsr?

stevieteg

Yes you did, but the rims you bought were originally from my friends 1996 se.

I paid $2,500 for the gsr. There was 89,000 miles on the motor, And I knew it ran well because I was able to do a compression test and actually drive it before I put it in my car. But a b18c1 alone costs that much plus all the extra parts I got to sell. BTW: I still have interior panels and a dash board along with some other random things. pm me if you need anything.

Why didnt you just take the $2500 and turbo the ls?

airon

well he has the ls now as a backup engine and he could build that if needed
i think that overall you got a deal
you can sell many parts off the gsr
brakes and axles
seats
misc body and interior parts
cluster
bumpers
etc

looking good though man, congrats

stevieteg

Because I can sell my b18b along with all the other parts and almost come out even, maybe even be ahead money wise.
