FWD sucks. Honda content

[stbk]

So one day i wanted a Honda for some reason i don't know. looked online and found one, bought it, and took it home. in like a couple of days or so...
Old lady had it. speedo says 73.000km and the service book says the same. interior is mint. electric sunroof and windows etc.. not that much to choose from in 1997 from Honda.

When i got home i just stod outside the house looking at it asking myself. what the hell have i bought. and what should i do with it.. But i got some coils laying around. also a B18c4 engine swap is coming since the D14A4 is a bit slow but does good miles to the gallon. but I'm not gonna use it for long hauls anyways.

only pictures i have so far is when i got home from a long trip after picking it up. so its a bit dirty and has a couple of bugs on the bumper.

Love that colour! Haha also power windows and sunroof! We don't get those options in North America for hatchbacks anyhow. Looking forward to what you do with it

was surprised myself when i got there. didn't say anything in the add. the car was dead as a donkey when i picked it up. older lady had probably never been above 4k rpm on it. so i changed the spark plugs and fuel filter and gave a good burnout and the car goes like no 1.4 I've ever driven before

hopefully i get the 1.8 engine I've called on. its from a front collided 98 sedan. but by the looks of it, it was just the radiator who had gone in the crash. who knows.

Looks really clean, and def love the color!

So im a bit confused since I'm not really a honda guy and new to this area. i got some engine options to choose from now. Engine 1: b18c4 with some goodies. 190bhp non lsd. Engine 2: actually a complete 93 civic that have taken all the parts from a complete ITR. so its a B18c5 and with a turbo. but only a small turbo so its pushing 230-240 bhp. i will def put a bigger turbo on it since i know the internal can handle more power.
But the car have been on the roof and the engine went for around 1 min upside down. the expert says it should not have any bad effect due to it only running for 1 min. So, any thoughts?

I'd say b18c4, hasnt had the added stress of a turbo added to it and hasnt had oil starvation while running upside down. plus 190hp is more then enough to put a smile on your face in a car this small and light... anything more is a bit ridiculous lol.

pluss, i don't need to take it out of a car and sell the donor car.

got a look under the car today. the right side frame in the rear is all eaten up with rust.
so there is a major work ahead. also the other stuff under the car needs to change do to rust. the body is mint but the underside of the car does not look good. I'm gonna take som pictures tomorrow and let you guys see how bad it is.
forgot my camera today.

Being that it's not an SiR and was owned by an old lady, I don't think it has SiR bumpers. They're just Euro bumpers.




Very nice car though! I kinda want it. First thing to do though... get all those splattered bugs off the front end

Just Euro bumpers. the car is clean inside and outside. the "shell" is good. but i need some professional help to take out the rusted spot. its really bad

[stbk]

So i did some stuff.





here is the rusty area:







a bit of grinding:





And a new home made plate.





And done!



Also had some coils laying around.



And did some exhaust.





Not that low.. but I'm gonna let it set for a week or so. and if I'm not satisfied I'm gonna make some serious adjustment and get it really low.
