When i found this car it was in bad shape the kid that had it thought it was some type of drift car. He took every chance he could to beat the **** out of the car.
i bought this ek 96 for 1800 it ran but had cut springs and alot of half *** repair jobs im still finding not to mention the side had a dent so big it looked like a helicopter hit it
(original pics)



Goal turn into track/street car oooo and get rid of green rims needles to say the rims where to bright and some punk *** ricer cut me off when he was weaving thorough traffic trying to race i tryed to swerve into an empty lane then a BMW was their crash BMW = scratch > civic = whole [freak]ed up left side
(sry no pics)
so next got all dents fixed whole side and threw a 2000 front on



Body shop [freak]ed up my clutch trying to load my car on a car trailer so my car sat in my drive way fresh paint 2 weeks later i put on my new clutch and 2 days later they stole my car
Those [freak]ing green rims(please steel me all over them) well i found my car no front clip no trunk lid no wheels(thank god)
spark plug wires gone intake but left type r seats ,type r shift ****, short shifter ecu (wtf noob thief's stole all the cheap **** left all the good thank god) so i was think insurance they backed out saying that my policy was mis understood no theft recovery well it said i was paying for it(still fighting in court)No money so car sat for awhile


got new trunk lid front bumper grille and spark plug wires


new lights u cant see it also an intake and ctr fenders not on in tha pic
new rims and side markers finished enough that i can drive it to the jdm south meet

Right about now i hate driving a civic!!! i love my car but i hate having to worry bout the car 24/7 hate street racing cause my nephew died from some *** hole racing and ran him over while he was on his moto ped. I decided to make it 100% track car and buy a caprice to drive that way i could race track keep my love and not bother with theft but i was down on power so engine swap plus all new parts for race prep and car build
wonder why single cam is laging

piston 1 say valve guide oil leak

well a few and a couple of hours later i decided to do a swap 1:00 am an wanted to start so next thing i know block party in mikes garage like 15 people watching me pull out my engine sry no pics of that night it was pretty wild here is how it went
car= + = + = but it didn't stop tell sunrise wit
so when i woke up that after non i took the pics

my new engine powered by me 1000's hp


Now after the alcohol wore off i had alot of thinking to do i went thorough every possible engine and tranny combination u could think off but after months of debating and then the cold harsh reality of my wallet wit spider webs i came up on B20z+B16 tranny

well after 2 months of waiting and hardly working i had enough funds to proceed with the swap thank god

well after alot of waiting and working its finally coming 2gether engine and all!


getting coupe ready for engine





engine and b16 tranny



installed dual bend short shifter

Due to my all work and no play car policy and my friend aka photographer not being their their are no pics of the swap happening but i will get some pics later of the engine in the car intell then pic of my car back on th ground after engine finished and the funds that helped my finish my car

And after the swap a change in address so this build is on the road to ATL Georgia home of no jdm from what iv seen

here is where the build begins yesterday i got some stuff to do and just got some of the parts in first was the pedals

the rubber grips where worn down so i decided to go with a grip tape pedals

after trace cut place and trim they where on pretty easy and came out nice if u ask me?

next was getting the car ready for the (FPR) to make sure after the install the car
starts up and runs normal before tune i chose to put a fuel pressure gauge so i could keep the car at stock fuel pressure

an plumbing

the gauge shock proof

first let the pressure out next get ready the safety always should be ready when working with fuel related parts Always

put it all together with a little liquid teflon

disconnect the fuel line

and then install it finished


start up
