Welcome to Pixel Car Art

[J.red]

Other people have been doing this. Since we noow have an automotive thread, and i'm bored, i'm going to do one up too.

How I got my honda:
I was 15 and looking forward to getting my license in 6 months and starting to think about looking for a car. One day my dad came home and said there was a car at his work that i could have for $100. It was a red 1993 honda civic 4 door. The reason it was so cheap...the original owner was someone who had been working with my dad for years now and they had recently passed the car on to their daughter as her first car. She didn't get the oil changed and blew the motor in it...So, what I had was basically a shell with a blown motor.

First things first, I needed a motor. At this point I wasn't really planning on doing much to my car, so the motor was almost a direct replacement. The new motor however was imported from japan, out of a jdm civic, it came with twin side draft carburators, but i opted for putting the stock fuel injection system from the old motor on it. Here's the engine right after completing the swap:

Now I had a running machine!
I got my license in June and spent the the summer and next winter driving it like this:
(IMG:http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/678/241/26692620001_large.jpg)

The next spring though, I decided to start adding some modifications.
First came some rims and tires: Enkei DM5 16x7 wrapped in BFgoodrich g-force sport 205/45/16R
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/5/web/2669000-2669999/2669262_6_full.jpg)
I know these tires aren't the best out there, but they were affordable for me at the time and I've been satisfied with them for the most part.

Bolt on engine modifications and clean up came next.
Cleaned engine bay a little and bought k&n filter and aluminum cold air intake.
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/678/241/26692620005_large.jpg)

Replaced the plugs with NGK plugs( i don't remember which ones exactly) and bought some Accel 8mm wires
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/678/241/26692620005_large.jpg)

Did some more cleaning, painted the heat sheild and got a new valve cover and painted it.
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/678/241/26692620056_large.jpg)

Bought a front upper strut bar. The engine bay sat like this for quite a while.
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/678/241/26692620060_large.jpg)

Next I bought the exhaust i have grown to hate, so i won't put a picture of it. It's going away soon anyways.

Paint! It took me about 2 months of my summer to prepare and paint it while working around my work schedule. I also bought an OEM spoiler and did that too.
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/5/web/2669000-2669999/2669262_16_full.jpg)
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/5/web/2669000-2669999/2669262_17_full.jpg)
(IMG:http://carphotos.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/678/241/26692620021_large.jpg)
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/5/web/2669000-2669999/2669262_22_full.jpg)
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/5/web/2669000-2669999/2669262_24_full.jpg)

At this point i had also bought some ugly seat covers and some really ugly tail lights (this was the extent of my ricer stage)
2 days after painting:
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/5/web/2669000-2669999/2669262_42_full.jpg)
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/5/web/2669000-2669999/2669262_30_full.jpg)

A few months later i decided i hated those tail lights and seat covers and did away with them and bought the tail lights i love.
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/5/web/2669000-2669999/2669262_93_full.jpg)

Then i got some subwoofers for $20 a piece from a friend and built my sound system. I love the sound quality of it, and no i don't play it so loud you can hear me coming from a mile away. I use my system for music, not loud noises. But i'm thinking about stepping it down to just 2 subs this summer to lighten it up and bring back some trunk space.
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/5/web/2669000-2669999/2669262_65_full.jpg)
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/5/web/2669000-2669999/2669262_113_full.jpg)

Next 2 things i got, my bumper lips and coil overs and kyb struts.
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/5/web/2669000-2669999/2669262_98_full.jpg)
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/678/241/26692620152_large.jpg)
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/678/241/26692620153_large.jpg)
She now sits like this
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/678/241/26692620156_large.jpg)

Then i finally got my headers which changed the sound of the car quite a bit and actually made it run a bit smoother.
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/5/web/2669000-2669999/2669262_135_full.jpg)
[img]http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/678/241/26692620148_large.jpg[img]

Next i pulled some seats out of a 2003 Honda insight and made up some brackets and mounted them.
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/678/241/26692620180_large.jpg)
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/ride_images/3/678/241/26692620189_large.jpg)

Finally, this is where i'm at now...last fall I was offered a b18b1 integra ls motor and transmission for $500. I took action right away and scrapped together the money.
(IMG:http://img62.imageshack.us/img62/8226/1004700.jpg)
(IMG:http://img695.imageshack.us/img695/4225/1004898.jpg)
(IMG:http://img136.imageshack.us/img136/3995/1004899.jpg)
And a brand new aluminum dual core radiator I picked up
(IMG:http://memimage.cardomain.com/member_images/5/web/2669000-2669999/2669262_137_full.jpg)
Right now, i'm working on figuring out what I'm doing with this engine. I'm planning on building it up for high compression NA and just need to get together some money for it, but college payments are hitting on that pretty hard.

[Hellrazr]

its nice to see a civic thats not so rice out (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif)

love the color needs to be lowered and the rims suck lol

[J.red]

It's as low as I can go with the roads I have to drive on a daily basis right now. And the rims I got for $200 and can't afford others right now because my main focus is building my engine and getting the swap done.

[carhartt]

i would keep these rikms, they look good :/

rest looks nice, but i would have kept the bumper lip black (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif) but it's my taste (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif)

[Josh]

man, i love the lip when it was black.. nice build so far!

[EE8Kev]

Nice build so far!

Since your building the b18 to N/A specs might as well turbo the Dirty D for the hell of it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

(waits for ppk to come in here and start hatten*

[PurePontiacKid]

^Hey Kev, go f**k yourself for me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

yea, I gotta say the lip looked better black... and don't be a pussy and drop that s**t all the way down and remove a collar on each one. Then get spacers and roll the fenders.

I was gonna say I've got a powdercoated D-series valve cover I'm tryin to get rid of right now, but it looks like you have a B goin in it now lol

No wai! I'm updating something.

2 weeks ago, I went to a small meet. It was the first of its kinda in my town, so the turnout wasn't very good. Last week was the second, we had about twice as many cars, but i forgot my camera that week.
(IMG:http://img517.imageshack.us/img517/8495/1005512e.jpg)

I'm going to attempt to do these in order.
-I got a nice Tachometer and installed it on my steering wheel. I couldn't find any pictures of it though, so i'll have to do that later.
-Some high output LED fog lights.
(IMG:http://img685.imageshack.us/img685/5420/1005464.jpg)
I feel like they piss people off some times.
-Then 2 days ago I made this replacement for my stock deck lid.
(IMG:http://img806.imageshack.us/img806/3496/1005548.jpg)
I don't have a before pic of this, but the stock one had a center brake light that was sun-damaged pretty bad, and 2 speaker covers.
-Then I finally got around to finishing the switch for the fog lights. ( I had just a mess of wires and a switch hanging from my dash for a few weeks)
(IMG:http://img18.imageshack.us/img18/2223/1005544.jpg)

Now just a few random shots (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif)
Earlier today, dropped it another inch, cleaned the insides of my wheels and cleaned up my break calipers.
(IMG:http://img339.imageshack.us/img339/8233/1005541.jpg)
Machining parts on our manually operated machining mill (IMG:style_emoticons/default/xd.gif)
(IMG:http://img687.imageshack.us/img687/1936/1005543n.jpg)
And...all done for the day
(IMG:http://img156.imageshack.us/img156/4349/1005550.jpg)

[Angrybooger2]

it's looking naice :(IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

[Tank077]

dont tell me u own a nova

[Hellrazr]

That looks to be ether a Monte, Cutlass, or GNX(regal) or the Red One lol Witch one?
By the looks of the Tails Light it seems to be a Nova.

[waytolow]

the red one? thats a 70,71 nova

This post has been edited by waytolow: Jul 8 2010, 03:41 AM

[J.red]

The Red car in the pics with the seat is my dad's '72 Nova. 402 Big Block.
The Dark Green one is a '82 Buick Regal with a 350 small block chevy and a few grand nation trim pieces.
Neither are as fast as my camaro (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cooler.gif)
And here comes some Updates (IMG:style_emoticons/default/super.gif)
Started working on getting the engine clean so that I can start bringing in parts and rebuilding this thing to the beast it will be. With the set up I've decided to go with I'll be getting about 11:1 to 11.5:1 compression. I'm going to Have a set of crower 403 cams in the head. I've got to find a top end header and I'll be fabricating my own full exhaust and probably a flowmaster or magnaflow high flow muffler. And much more. Should be fun.

(IMG:http://img805.imageshack.us/img805/594/1005805.jpg)
(IMG:http://img375.imageshack.us/img375/7726/1005800.jpg)
Before and after. Just some industrial de-greaser, foaming de-greaser, and simple green so far.
(IMG:http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/214/cleaning.jpg)
And here's most of the old parts. Most of them are going to be replaced with new aftermarket parts.

I love when ppl care about their cars , keep improving it and dont crash it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif)

[waytolow]

402 bigblock? that a 396 bored out?

[J.red]

Yep. 402 is a 396 Bored.

[M.I.V. Design.]

i'm a noob if it comes to engineblocks, but that looks damn neat man (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[SVTuner]

i beg you , put ITB's on the B18B , the sound'll be heavenly!!
stock ECU or aftermarket management?

(looks naice btw)

[J.red]

ITB's Cost way too much. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
I would love to have them, but I can't afford them.
Maybe Down the road I will.

[SVTuner]

Good lad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

keep us updated.

[J.red]

Actually. After you mentioned that, I've put more thought into the ITB's. They are becoming more and more of a possibility. I can get a OBX ITB set up for about $650. Where Going the other route, getting a good aftermarker intake manifold $300-400 probably, a high flow fuel rail another $100 and other bits and pieces. The cost will come out close to the cost of ITB's.

On another note. Got my rear shocks finally. Already had the rear coilovers but was waiting to install them. Hopefully they'll all be in by the end of the day tomorrow. No more rake (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif)

^cool
cool
u are going to slam the mugen rims right?
slam a cf hood and paint all lips black and i will love u more than i love u now :U

[J.red]

I no want carbon fiber hood. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)
I don't have Mugen rims. Those ish are expensive. I have Enkei rims. I wish I had Mugen RNR's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wub.gif) those rims are (IMG:style_emoticons/default/super.gif)
Repainting things isn't cheap or quick or fun.

[SVTuner]

If you can take the Financials, ITB's are the way to go.

little Honda ITB Anecdote...
I went to Zolder ( the track in belgium) the other week , with a friend of my dads who's got a brand new Cayman S with a tech art exhaust.
he took me out for a couple of hotlaps and allof sudden a Ek Civic Absolutley left us for dead on a straight. session over , the guy pulls in , and when he lifted the hood It was epic... ( btw my dad's friend has a International Racing license and a offical VLN drivers certificate so it wasn't his driving)

spec :
1998 JDM B18C-R
Jenvey ITB's
Titanium 4-2-1 exhaust
motec Management
and lots more

The sound : Well... let's just say i still get the spine tingle (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

Hi guys (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile2.gif)
(IMG:http://67.18.219.83/image_hosting/web_pages/uyunisales/CTR_PISTONS_1.JPG)
I haven't fully ordered them yet because I don't know what bore size I'm going to go with. Since I'm going to bore it over a little bit to make sure the cylinder walls are in good shape most likely. I'm thinking about boring it from 81mm to 83mm. It will take the engine from 1.833L to 1.925L
The pistons will make the compression ratio 11.4:1 (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool2.gif)

Other than that, this update is basically to say that I've pretty much spec'd out almost all the stuff i'm going to do to my engine for the swap. And I'm planning on trying to completely do the swap this summer.

Some of the parts I've spec'd the build for:

Crower Stage 2 Cams.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQuL1yVrxDg
It will sound kind of like that. But I will have a muffler or 2 to keep it quieter. But that's the general rhythm the engine will have.

Crower Dual valve springs and titanium spring retainers.

Stainless tri-y headers with stepped and tuned pipes.
(IMG:http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y77/trinijae/DSC07368.jpg)

Full custom 2.5 inch exhaust. most likely with 1 glass pack baffle in the middle and then a performance muffler at the end. maybe a mugen twin loop.

Chip the ECU for a 9.2k Redline (IMG:style_emoticons/default/eager.gif)

and a few more details type stuff.

Jeeze man, your going all out! lol

So all these mods would make your car what? About just as fast as mine?

Hey Mike you should modify your car too, it'll be faster than Jared's



...and nearly as fast as mine my dad's

(IMG:http://paradoxdgn.com/junk/avatars/trollface.jpg)


This is the first time I've really looked at this thread, I'm glad I did, this is pretty sick. How much have you spent so far, may I ask?

[J.red]

@ Mike
I won't have any turbo lag. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)
I'm hoping to get around 175 wheel HP when it's all said and done.

And my car weighs around 2300 lbs.
Yours weighs what? around 3500 lbs?

I believe that would put mine right around or higher than yours for hp to weight ratio (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

Plus, just a shot in the dark, but mine probably handles better (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

@Ben. Idk, i haven't really kept tabs on my total spendings.
I bought it for $100.
Paint ran me about $700
Rims $200(used)
Tires $450
Lips/spoiler/lights/exterior mods probably around $300
Suspension about $600 in total i would guess

the d15 that's in it now was around $600 Gonna sell that once it's pulled. should be able to get about half or more back
My sound system has about $1000 into it. But i'm planning on selling most of it when I finish my swap.
d series headers $100. those are being sold when the b series goes in.

idk, i would guess i'm somewhere between $4000 and $5000 right now.

[Mkid]

Maybe... I do have awd and 18 inch wheels so the handling may or may not be about the same. I want me coilovers! At the moment, there is only one person running coilovers on a ralliart and they aren't really made for it! they are just generic ones that happen to fit, but still not that great, you have to ghetto rig them a bit. :sadface:

Anyways, The real reason I'm not doing too much to my car is because its still under warranty. Right now I'm only getting stuff that won't interfere with that or if I find something for a really good price.

[Andrew.]

^ I'm getting dem tires off the ground next summer when I get new rear tires

ooo yea

loled

fixed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

Mine being like 1100-1200 lbs lighter kinda helps the handling bit (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

And my tires are directional performance street tires. And they've got reinforced sidewalls for less deflection while cornering, which allows for higher force turns.

[Mkid]

OH YEAH! WELL

half of my tires are some cheap falkens and the other half are Yokohama Advans. lol

[J.red]

Swap meets. I love them.

[Timay]

Still shiny!

Question for you though. I know there's a whole bunch of noobs doing it and you may not wanna be "conformist" or what have you, but why don't you just boost the damn thing? lol

[Guest_Alex (Ghost)_*]

because of torque steer lol

looks good man. comming together rather well

[Oz.]

I ain't never seen a Civic like that. Awesome dude.

Keep it up.

[J.red]

I'm not boosting it because I'm doing an engine swap. And I'm building the engine for high compression, cams, etc. I should be able to take it over 9k no problem when I'm done. If I were to ever boost it, I would want to do it in a way that would last and actually hold boost. I would have to re sleeve the block, probably replace the whole rotating assembly, hone the head, and get a turbo kit. Basically, if I wanted boost done the way I would like it, it would run me upwards of $4000 or more added to the cost...

By going high compression, I can actually afford to finish the basic build before I get out of college, and I'll still probably be able to outrun a lot of the boosted ones around me, since they all slap ebay kits on stock engines.

[stancemaster]

shoulda just bought a GSR lol

my friend daily's his stock GSR at 8psi and runs high 13's spinning through 3rd gear

[Andrew.]

o
my
gosh

[J.red]

GSR's aren't easy to find around here.

Besides, the LS has a bigger stroke and with the boring that I had done, it's at 1.9L now. And the cams I'm getting are more aggressive than the vtec cam profile of a gsr. And with the gsr pistons in my LS, I'll be at 11.4:1 compression compared to the GSR's 10:1.

And, I *could* boost it on stock internals. With the low compression of the LS when stock, they're pretty awesome engines to hold boost, I know people that run 11-14psi on stock internals in the LS. But I'd rather have high compression. This isn't being built to be a drag car, that's what my camaro is for. This is being built for my personal tastes.

[Noodles]

wait, they make honda civic gsr's?



he he he

[civicfan14]

Swap in a V6. Yeeeeahhhh!

new rims and paint aren't anywhere close to my priorities right now.

The snow is now up to my lip :(xx

Oh and your car is red, that color is too common. You should paint it teal.

And while your at it, cars are to common so get a unicycle.

then you will be cool.

[J.red]

honestly, i don't give a s**t if anything is common or not. I do things to my car because I want to. It's my car. I modify it to my own personal tastes.

And no, I'm not going lower for the time being. I don't live in vegas. Roads are not flat here. I have much worse things to worry about than lane dots.

In other news. I really hate this weather. 5 days ago it was 70 degrees F and sunny.

your ride is so damn awesome dude

[Kevin]

got any engine/exhaust sound virals?

[stancemaster]

did you just finish washing it after you went mudding

[J.red]

Kevin, I can't find any. I must have lost them when my hard drive took a crap.

[Mkid]

I think you should invest in some new wheels. That my least favorite part of your car.

[J.red]

engine before wheels.
Down the road, I definitely plan on new wheels. I've got a few in mind that I haven't decided yet. But right now, I'm still going to college for another year and a half at about $25000 a year... All my money pretty much goes towards that, and what doesn't has been going towards my engine.

But all those cost money which I don't have right now.

[stancemaster]

look at this guy he's so cute with his racecar wheels. awwwwwwwwww

[Mkid]

^ look at this guy, he's embarrassed that his car isn't low enough so he makes fun of others

anyways, I like the J Speeds

[M.I.V. Design.]

needs carbon lip, hood and trunk <3

[stancemaster]

carbon lips are useless, you smack one thing one time and it's trashed.

@Mike, since you brought it up lol
I'm over trying to be the lowest guy ever, I'm super super happy with the height my car is at right now. laid out and still useful (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toothygrin.gif)

and my vote is also for J-speeds. <3

In for RPF1s when you get the bank roll

I think this is the wisest thing you've ever said. lol

EDIT: s**t, quote fail. I'm not gonna bother trying to fix it. lol

[J.red]

kevin, here's an idea of what those ones would look like.
(IMG:http://i7.tinypic.com/6ll1e90.jpg)

[stancemaster]

^that lip>Jared's lip

[J.red]

that lip = stock lip for coupe/hatch

[Ben.H]

I would most definitely go for the Mugen M7s

[M.I.V. Design.]

carbon lips rule, and i don't think he's that low to hit s**t

[J.red]

Roads, parking lots, everything sucks in michigan. My lip scrapes all the time. There are too many streets and drives that have rapid angle changes.

[stancemaster]

that lip = stock lip for coupe/hatch

exactly

did I ever say it wasn't?

sometimes stock is best

[Ben.H]

You should see if you can get Laguna splitters in the US somewhere

(IMG:http://www.roverturbo.co.uk/chris200/Splitter_fitted_2.jpg)

Rubber so scraping is not an issue, long as it's mounted properly

[J.red]

ian, my bumper won't fit that lip.

[Cooper]

M7s or J speeds (IMG:style_emoticons/default/toung.gif)

[Mkid]

If you wanted to do that kind of lip, you could do the garage door liner lip. If you don't know what I'm talking about I could find a write up on it.

[J.red]

I like my lip the way it is. I was just saying that lip came on coupes/hatches. Sedans didn't have that style of lip.
