hey guys, well i was refered up here buy a guy on our forums here in sioux falls. But anyway my name is matt and i have a 95 civic ex. I bought the car for a decent price, have always been into DSMs but i couldnt pass up the deal i got on the civ. But right now the car is sitting in the garage with a blown motor because of the timing belt slipping. well here are some pictures of her. I am also on the look out for a d16z6 so please let me know if you have a good condition one around. Thanks.
here is a mod list for it

whats exactly "blown" on the motor?
I would fix the stock on or swap to B series. Solid z6 and y8 motors are an endangered species these days.
and BTW, you should be proud of yourself, not many people can blow up a stock d series motor w/o any major mods... let me guess you were running 87 octane gas? -

87 octane prob. had 0 to do with it. There are way more things that can ruin a motor then the gas.

ya it was a mini me and i only run 91 octane in my cars. What caused it is the timing belt slipped and caused the valve to shoot through the piston. So ya. and it was a d15b1 bottom end and a d16z6 head. I put it together for around 100 bucks including the cost of the bottom end (i already had the head)
oh and when you are building a car for a specific race class and motor swaps are forbiddin, you have a tendency to stick with something you like and want to build up.

And please dont just go making useless posts to get your post count up.
On a positive note. That's cool as hell that your doing some road racing. You gotta get some in car vids of that shit.

^I do not think Tenzos are not even FIA approved. You got slicks on that thing? If not you are not going to compete with the auto-xers down there. Look for some Kirkly Aluminum seats, cheap. And, IIRC you need a cage to do the Honda Challenge.
But for Auto-x, the cage is going to take you out of "stock" class, not sure where it moves you to, but it will probably be to a class swaps are just fine. If you are getting one get a custom made one.

actually i will be running DSP where a cage is considered legal, but a swap is not. I do not run slicks for the class i am in, i must run a dot approved tire. And you dont need to run slicks in honda challenge either. The sanctioned tire for the honda challenge was the toyo ra-1 and from what i gathered that is not a slick.
And why would i go with an aluminum kirkey race seat when i can get a recaro or sparco that is approved? This car is not a fully built race car as of this point and is still a daily driver, at least once it gets a motor put into it.
With my suspension mods and minor engine mods i was out of stock class a long time ago, i have been autocrossing since 2002 and also competed in a couple nasa sanctioned events until a bump and off road excursion led to a totalled car and a hurt back.
So to be competitive down here you need skill, not tire, even though tire helps you do not need a slick to be competitive in a parking lot. Oh and i have a friend that has a full race prepped eclipse, and hes not on slicks, last i heard he was on a ra-1 set of take offs.
