WANTED: D16 Complete Motor

[PSiedTSi]

from what ive heard a b16 swap is a waste of time and money

[harwood39]

I have heard the same thing about the b16. But the b16 has a lot more potential. Which i would like, but cant afford a b16 at the moment.

[Guest]

why not jsut go b18c then? thats well worth the money.

[harwood39]

B16s are alot less than B18s. If i had the money for a b18 i would do it.

[GraveDigger]

How about you just save your money, and get a better car, like that eclipse you were looking at.

[harwood39]

screw that, im not only for speed, i want a really nice show car too. Civics are really easy to make into show cars

[harwood39]

but, if i can find really nice car for a good deal, than i might have to see if i can get enough money by the end of the school year

Building a show car is a bit more expensive then you would like to think.....just take a look at ground assault.

[Bryce]

^^^ well said, ground assault's civic has about 25K put into it. That hurts the pocket book!

[GHETTOBEAST]

the other civic has like 8k in it and it cant even touch other civics

[PSiedTSi]

or more notably fradets car...

[Guest]

but then agian i seen a stock Grand Prix GT today with Ground Assult on it..and he was listening to some girly music..what a shame

[harwood39]

its not too expensive, as long as you know ppl like me who can get you stuff whole sale, and only go show. Ogormans Civic, and ferdets car are both show and go.

[harwood39]

Oh ya, plus Ogorman got everything done at tintmasters, and they raped him on the prices of the stuff

[24valvenotak]

getting the parts is the cheap part...its having the experience and know how to put them on by yourself successfully that gets expensive.

[harwood39]

i can do alot of stuff, the only thing i will have done at a shop is any welding, and paint.

[PSiedTSi]

hes got 25k in his civic? whats done to it?

Having a car painted right is whats gonna cost the big $$. You cant do no Mayco job on a "show car". If you take a car to a body shop to have a full color change done right your looking @ an easy $4000+ paint job.

[harwood39]

I understand paint is the expensive part, i want to go toyota supra metallic blue

[Cupid]
