Yeah I canned the B20A project, couldent find a tranny. BUT!......... I am working on "Rywire" for a B-Series conversion harness sence Innovative can get the swap mounts.:flash::D


And i'm also working on being a wholesaler for "Innovative Mounts" here at NOPI. I get cost plus 10% so that means I can pass the savings on to the 3geez fellows if you send me the money Paypal.

The car gets worse gas milage than any other car ive seen... the exhaust is fried it think and no parts fit on it cuz i think somebody took the cheap way out and just welded the cat from another car onto the exhaust

yours is carb right? if you want to go ahead and spend the money to fix the carb right, try importcarbs.com one guy rebuilds all the carbs and they do really good work at great prices, you trade in your old crummy carb on a good rebuilt. you would need the carb and the base gaskets for the carb, i think i have an extra if you need one. these carbs are a pain in the ass to fix right, certain things like the power valve are inside of the carb top hat, and most of the diaphragms leak, for what it costs to fix everything you will come out around the same to have it done already

If they cut and welded then the only alternative is get a universal cat and weld it in place... universal cats are cheaper than OE but you would need someone to weld it in place.
Maybe, MAYBE it can be attached in place with spare exhaust parts; I saw many connectors and pieces of pipe in advance autoparts stores with clamps and stuff.

I only knew of one other member from Augusta, Irondragon013 who is now sporting around in a brand new civic si. There are a few members close by in South Carolina , Columbia area.. about an hour drive. Even a few more in Charlotte NC, which is only two hours away, about the same as Altanta just a different direction. Interstate all the way.

Ecogabriel I think I missed a turn coming out of Athens and tried to improvise, but I got there. Then I called MushroomToy and got some directions once I got to Gainesville but he was telling me landmariks way before I was getting to them so it was comical.

When I miss a turn -which happens when I go somewhere new- I just drive back until I find where I got it wrong; my experience with "on-the-fly" makeup routes has been quite bad :confused: no GPS for me yet.

I imagine that of "you should be seeing such and such place" and one drives and asks "wwhhaaattt??? because there is nothing like that nearby... He has a GPS map in his head :kekeke:

mushroom_toy
05-16-2010, 01:48 PM
^I like to be ahead of the game...lol.

Anyway to the OP I will have a full oem exhaust thats in good shape for like 50 bucks if you want it, that includes a gutted stock cat and magnaflow muffler attached. Will bolt into place 100%.

thats wild you say that because that is about what happen that time, I was passing by the wrong waffle house as he was "recalculating" to another:rofl:


I do tend to take a gamble on the fly, if I can get a sign of the hwy Im on and NSEW direction, in that eventually im gonna hit I 85, 75 or 20 or 285 :kekeke:
and ya it would suck if there were no access once I hit it lol

i know this is gonna sound so newb but take into consideration im only 17... would anyone here be willing to do a 5speed conversion for me? i dont know how and im willing to pay somebody to do it cuz its a huge gain compared to my auto tranny... if you are just send me a list of anythng i need and i will get it i just need some one to do the actual swap but it wouldnt hurt gor me to learn it in the process.

Guys,
I'm not leaving you out, since you are next door to me, so to speak.
Some of you might have been to Sibling Rivalry in Jacksonville.
Some of you might have been to Import Alliance in Atlanta a few times.
Consider this an opportunity to invade Florida again and get me back! LOL!

There is something coming up on Saturday 21 July that is import car-related.
Along with their Hot Rod show, the Chamber of Commerce/Plant City is
sponsoring an all import meet! Shocking, isn't it?

I have been telling some people That I know.
You can also post this on to the forums that you belong to.
The whole import scene will benefit if we can get an overwhelmingly
good turnout. Most of the time all they have is hot rods.
It would be impressive if import drivers could run them out of
dash plaques one hour into registration.

A few details:
ALL IMPORT SHOW/MEET PLANT CITY 3PM-9PM
All years. All Import Makes. All Models. Dash Plaques. DJ Music.
No registration fee. No trophies. No pressure. Clubs welcome.
Sponsored by the Plant City Chamber of Commerce. 3 huge parking lots.
Downtown Plant City next to the train station is where the registration tent
will be.

The easiest way to Plant City is down I-75, turn East at I-4/Tampa and take exit 19, 21, 22 going South.

For more Info, call 813-754-3707, 800-760-2315, [email protected], www.plantcity.org and if I can be of some help, let me know. 813-839-4281/[email protected]. Thanks guys. -Bob

I'll give this another Georgia bump!
I live in the Atlanta Metro area, Gwinnett county.
I'm not really that good with cars, trying to learn some things, but still nervous about making a motor-killing mistake D:

Also, if anyone has exhaust components, I'm pretty sure I need the full package and would be excited to buy from someone with a 3G who has expertise!!
Tips/tricks/meetups welcome!(Winter, though, so I doubt much is going to happen until the spring)
