Thats a good buy man. Liking the fact that it already has a swap in it. That sticker on the glass though I dislike. Very clean overall.

This old guy down the street from me is driving one of those civics but I doubt its been swapped or anything. I halfway want to ask them if they will sell me it but I dont have money =(

only thing i would do to it would be ditch the stupid pin stripe, swap to 90-91 tails, lip it, and moar lower.

other than that welcome to the EFSS.

"vtec hits hard for a single cam" is what people who have never really driven vtec single cams always say. you should run it at the track to see what your time is, i bet it's faster than 90% of 3geez.

Reason why I say that is cause I been around alot of y8 vtecs an z6 an mini mes. An they get down. But this guy build this one. I'm going to check the comp cause I think it's a high comp build. I'll do a vid soon this week. But I love the car way over my hatch lol. When I drove this felt like a b16 but like they say b16 are like z6s lol. Well do man I'll go see what it does. But b18c1 is a must lol


Nice ride! A very worthy choice for a DD.

Way better. 4 door is even a plus. Hatchy was getting me pissed cause my son lol. It was a ass knot to get him in an out.

Not gonna lie thou my first civic or vtec I ever owned. Lol.

stat1K
03-16-2011, 10:51 AM
every first owner says the same. my z6 mini me build was 10.3:1 and it motored, never POPPED vtec though as you can't really hear the crossover in the single cam.

I've never noticed the VTAK in a single cam motor. Not that I've been in a lot of them. The F20C and the 2ZZ definitely have some instant kick. The 2ZZ is more violent and abrupt. Could also be due to the weight difference of the cars as well too.

Hey rendon, wanna give me that Z6 when you do your B18 swap? I've got a 1gee that could use a little bit of that D-series goodness... :D

What do those little sedans weigh anyways? I know my 81 is right about 2100lbs. If only it had the double-wishbones.

stat1K
03-16-2011, 11:49 AM
they're right about 2200. he's got the 88-89 so it's a bit lighter on account of the seatbelts and reinforcements.

the only thing i didn't like about the sedan when i first got it was the lack of a rear sway bar but angus fixed that right up for me with some custom bracketry.

Well its kicks hard as in its fucking loud. Then it goes. WEll maybe its me. since its like ten times faster then my hatchy LOL. Well i have to have a talk with you man. I have a few question. ill pm you later

So i assume that Dx models dont come with shit or sway bars?

Why swap something else in there when it's already a sweet little car?

It's a DD that's got some cool goods already, so why mess with it.. at least for me a DD means to drive as is and maintain a good solid running condition, not mod :P

stat1K
03-16-2011, 04:59 PM
no models of the sedan came with a rear sway bar. they have the holes, but they're not threaded.

i'm running a da sedan rear bar.

Well wtf. Umm i can one of those. Thanks for the info. I saw that you can put bigger brakes off a legend/type r combo. Or off a 91 ex.

sweet man...i want a see a vid

stat1K
03-18-2011, 09:59 AM
91 ex is the best bet, those are the same calipers on the accord. they don't need larger brakes really, i have brembo slotted and drilled fronts with standard brembo blanks on the rear with my da rear brakes and it stops HARD.

or upgrading from the ex stuff, get the ex stuff then go bigger is better.

i could do a write up for the rear brackets but i didn't make the bolt pieces angus did and i don't have any pictures now since they are in the car and were hard enough to get in that getting them out would be DAMN near impossible.

Rendon LX-i
03-18-2011, 10:03 AM
GOt ya. Ive been doing alot of research. SO much you can do to these things LOL. I need to find me a lip. I took that gay WANNABE JDM red strip. What a bitch LOL. looks alot better thou.

If you could that would be cool. OR just some snap shots of it.

stat1K
03-18-2011, 10:23 AM
well you won't see much, what he did was take two pieces of metal and measure the distance between the holes on the da bracket then welded nuts to the metal. then we grinded them down so they'd fit into the frame rail. we fished them through with dental floss and once you get one bolt started it holds it steady for the other bolt.

i've seen other people just weld the sway bar bracket to the frame rail but that's jankyish in my opinion.

not sure on the difference between the 88-89 bumpers and the 90-91 but my lip is from an 88-89 integra. i used the standard bolt clips that honda used to fix it to the bumpers and about 5 out of 7 line up on the civic bumper, then just cut the ends to fit because the lip is a little too long.

stat1K
03-18-2011, 10:59 AM
it's basically just 2 holes up by the control arm point and apparently on the hatchback and crx they are threaded, but no such luck on the sedan.

Well problem is there was no vtec LMFAO. it depined itself or idk. BUt we reconnected it. And put a basemap added timing. and wow what a difference.

ANd i pulled the cluster off since i was getting a vss code. Everything looked good on the harness. So i looked behind and its missing 2 bolts on the circuit board right on the vss part. LOL. so im pretty sure that was causing the Code. Idk why those 2 would be missing. But anywho. Ill redo a vid. Need to work on the accord. BIG UPDATE LOL. working on this obd1 shit is making me understand it a whole lot better. its going to become cake when i do accord.
