i drove a 4 door eg and i beat the hell out of that car when i put my foot down it was awesome

btw D16Y8 FTW

BlitzSix

I also drove a 4 door EG, and then got an EK too. Isn't that cute?

And yeah if I had a Y8 to start with it would be nice, not worth swapping it in though as I might as well go B when I swap. Can't decide between B18B and B16, but I won't be swapping for a while anyways.

b18 with a b16 tranny

a) no replacement for displacement

b) shorter gears

BlitzSix

But no VTAKKKKKKKK

I want a B16 tranny with an LS 5th gear. I just don't like the idea of being at like 4000+ RPM when I'm cruising on the highway, it's ridiculous. I don't know if I'm being stupid and it's perfectly fine for the engine (which is probably true), but it just seems wasteful to be revving the **** out of it (and putting wear on it) when you're cruising.

will do on the body kit part. i have to make this car for winter use aswell so the body kit will be next year. is it hard to convert the rear drums to disk?

BlitzSix

Hard... no, but it's time consuming.

You buy the rear disc and just replace the whole trailing arm. It should, theoretically, but a bunch of bolts but a lot of the times it's all seized up so it's a pain. Then you gotta mess with the handbrake and stuff.

hello i have not updated for some time like 2 weeks? but i been busy with school and working on the cars. so far its omost ready for paint. the civic looks like there was never rust so now all i need is to weld the floor or floors and get tie rods, door bushing and wiper motor. then she should be ready for safty. oh and i allso got a new muffler from a chevy chevet but i put on a crome tip for looks lol and that is from a grand am gt. here are some pics.










I allso debaged it and there was alot of spider cracks in the bumpers and paint chips in the hood so they are all gone now.

where r u from?

openshot

st catharines

openshot

well its painted. all we need to do is take the hood off and paint that black. and not bad for my first paint job

T-MacK

O.K......You've done a good job getting this EG back to where it should be. Please do not ruin it with some super "Gay" body kit like you mentioned earlier. That would ba a shame to see. Rock the stock and drop that car a few inches.

openshot

i want to be different. all i see now is stock looking cars every where no one does anything different. i can go with the jdm look and it looks nice but its been done somany times and this car is not even close to jdm because its made in canada. i want to do somthing that no one has seen. i am not going super big like some people do just somthing small and different what will stand out. i allso want to get some custom paint like metel flake red or somthing real crazy there is really nolimit.
