<![CDATA[99 Civic with CTR Swap....In progress]]>I had posted some pics of the progress with this car in the member intros section a while back. I just thought I would post some more with the updates. Car should be completely done in about 2 weeks. Its ready to prime at this point. Should be applying bast/clear in one week or so. The swap came out excellent, car runs and drives like a champ. Havn't had a chance to throw it on the dyno, but will get all that info when its completely done.

So I called em up and they had already sold the b16a after I paid em and just "forgot" to tell me about it. I was a little pissed. So they just happen to have a b16b on hand and it was all down hill from there.

Not trying to make enemies at all. I know it can suck moving somewhere and not know anybody. Just thought this would be a good place to get to know some people with my same interests before I move. You all seem like pretty decent guys/girls. Some more so than others obviously. Appreciate the comments though!

Barely feel a difference? I can tell you there is a huge difference between all Honda motors, even if it's just "10hp."

I don't think the WRX is the choice for "fast capabilities" either. Don't seem to see very many fast WRXs. What is not "decent" about a basically free shell, and a cheap motor w/ a fresh paintjob? The car wont be blazing fast, but I'm guessing it should scoot pretty well for a daily driver.

judging by your comments, you aren't a literature major, are you? you obviously lack reading comprehension; try sticking to the information being providing, instead of formulating your own conclusion and jumping to it.
in two posts, you've single-handedly managed to almost alienate a potentially valuable member. instead of it being because of something stupid that he said (ie "i have a 600hp cavalier, but i don't know a good place to take it for an oil change. any good places?") like the situations usually are, this conflict and problem was caused by YOU not being able to understand what you're reading.
please, get your head out of your tailpipe before your next post

I have simply come on here to introduce myself to the forum and all the guys here and to hopefully to get to know some people in fargo as I know almost none. I have not made any bad impressions or bitched at anyone. I got the car for free, the swap for $3500, tell me I could have gotten a car for $3500 with "go fast" capabilities. Also, tell me how many type r b16's there are running around. I'm not here to fight with anyone or to make enemies. I will take your "constructive criticism" and not look back. I was very fortunate on getting this motor for that price. I am willing to work my ass off in college and get a damn good career out of it. I just dont need racing and the risk that comes with it. No matter who you are, you WILL get fucked in the end for racing some time or another. Its just not worth it to me. I am proud of what I have done to my car and the time and money and effort put into it. Its more than most can say about what they have done.

I sold the tranny and the wheels for what I bought the car for. so it was basically free. dustin bowers of bottineau, nd had the car before me. he blew the motor up and got in the accident. the car is at Roadsounds in minot, i work there and have been crankin' on the car now for over 6 months. As far as why I chose the motor, here is the story. I was originally gonna buy the b16a motor and just keep it stock and have a good daily driver for when I was in college. I made the order to JHP and they fucked up the order. So they gave me the b16b instead for the same price. I paid considerable less for the type r motor, so it wasn't my intention to build this for racing. it still isn't. college takes so much time and money that I just dont need the risk of building a racing car when i need it everyday for transportation. there it is. the story! thanks for coming out.

hhmm.......i guess there is at leat one of you in each forum. to each his own dude. from the time and money i have invested in this car, I'd say I have done pretty well so far. but thanks anyway!

Looks great what shop is that at? Also did you get in a accident, and your replacing the hole front end?

it would be a good idea to ask him why he chose the engine he did instead of criticizing him for something that obviously involved a lot of thought (ie $$$).
imagine swapping the sti engine into your car, would you just jump right into that?

I still have to use it as a daily driver. Gotta keep it clean.

if i had a civic, i think the torqueless wonder would be my engine of choice for anything less than a drag car

I added the CAI and exhaust, so, I'm kinda pumped to see what the dyno puts me at.
