[socaly4life]

Well I'm from L.A. and have had my car for a little over a year. Its my first honda and I fell in love with it. Here are some of the specs:
-1994 civic ex
-4 wheel disc brakes and ABS
-factory foglights

JDM parts:
-Stanley corners
-jdm tail lights
working on getting the cluster, H.O.P. center console and arm rest, seats (front and back), JDM under the hood plate (I think ours are red)

engine:
-gsr head
-stock porting
-skunk2 valve springs
-hondata intake mani gasket
-skunk2 manifold (recently installed)
-STOCK HEADERS
-B20 block
-b20 block guard
-type R oil pump
-Earl's lsvtec oil line
-b16 trany
-Action Clutch
-6 puck solid, bolts (no rivots!)
-heavy duty, dual diaphram pressure plate

Previous dyno pushed 182hp (i think), dont remember torque. On a .52 shot of nitrous it pushed a 240 hp, 200 tq


Future plans:
-HEADERS (maybe smsp's or JG's or some jdm type R's)
-Injectors
-Fuel rail
-Wet single fogger setup
-Ground controls w/ Konig Yellows
-PAINT!!!

Trying to get all this done by the end of the year, hopefully it goes smoothly!

[JDMej8]

nice ride man, keep it up, and welcome :TU:

[JdmRevelations]

hey what are you running on pistons?... cause thats a pretty high number for a stock b20 vtec..... i've raced b20vtecs before and there is NO way they made that much HP... and they ran with a type r head milled down with a b16 trans....im not sayin ur BS but just want to know if you got stock b20 pistons?

[socaly4life]

I'm on stock pistons, I had JerryBuilt dyno it on Hondata.

[JdmRevelations]

hitting the track anytime soon.. i wanna know what times you'll hit

[socaly4life]

nah, trying to build it up a little more and dyno again. Hoping to hit 260 hp on nitrous!

[W.Zero]

tiite b20 vtec. hows that doing for you? the first b20 vtec i felt was from my sister ex boyfriend jay smith. man was that a beast. it was fully built and was fast. my boy did a b20 vtec turbo but the car got stolen before he got it running good. much props :TU:

[socaly4life]

We-todd-did-racing.com went down so I had to post with a different server. The pic I put up is of my car how it is now, on LS mesh.

[socaly4life]

Heres some pictures of my car at the local 1/8 mile track.



:hoppingmad: TOO BAD I BROKE MY TRANNY ON MY FIRST PASS OUT OF THE HOLE!!!!!!!!:hoppingmad:


So now I'm looking into buying another tranny, my car wont be running for a while. Looking in the get a JDM R tranny or any b series and buy an aftermarket diff and final drive.

[jdmkid]

damn that sucks. but nice work. lovin da slicks on the front. clean!!! whats under the hood?:honda:

[2coupes]

clean with some fatass slicks!! sucks that it broke...too much traction!! what's under the hood?

[Dina]

Any updates on this?

[socaly4life]

Well, its been a while since I've posted but I got a couple of things done to my coupe. I got a fresh b16 tranny with new clutch while I was at it. New axles and wheel bearings. I also got the JG Edelbrock headers and Erick's Racing Throttle body (not in picture).


After that I wanted this thing to handle a bit better, so I went with Ground Contols with Konig Yellos after all. Trust me, I dont regret going on this setup. The adjustable soft ride is great on the freeway and the firm setting was awesome at the track.

At the local 1/8 of a mile track, it took me from a E.T. of 8.57 to a 8.40 by doing a quick adjustment. This was all motor on slicks. On the Suspension techs with stock struts. it did a 8.7.

Another upgrade was finally some wheels! I know the rims are kinda too flashy on my car, but hey, I likes. Plus the ride quality is much better.



So those are the upgrades to my car so far. Its going pretty well and I hope to have it painted in a couple of months. Thanks and bump of ya read!

[PandaCoupe]

Nice ride :TU: Love your rims

[CamoEj1]

What color are you gonna paint it? Nice man:TU:

[socaly4life]

The same teal green, get all the body cleaned up, get a carb hood and maybe a stock lip.

[boosteddx]

I actually am, the thing acclerates and handles pretty great, now I just need to be able to stop the thing! The car came with abs but still the brakes get very hot after a couple of canyon turns. Whats a good setup to go with but without breaking the bank????

[jdm93EJ1]

very nice looks clean not feeling the rims with the color tho

Adam

[JdmRevelations]

[socaly4life]

Yeah, sorry I haven't updated, just been busy working. Well I ended up selling the gsr tranny and bought a b16. I'm having ProStreet but in a quaife Diff as well as all new syncros and new counter shaft and gear selector. Also installed new brembo rotor all around with the AEM pads. Heres a recent one when my gear selector broke!!! The magnet on the side is my "Support Strippers" ribbon!!!

[socaly4life]
