For many years I've been dealing with Honda's. I finally got one last December two weeks before christmas. It was gonna be a daily driver but i can never leave anything alone. When i bought the civic it was already lowered on Tein S-Tech Springs, AEM Cold Air Intake, Cheap Axelback exhaust and finally silver crap interior pieces. Unfortunately i don't have any pictures of it in that condition. Around Feb. I cam across a steal on rims and ended up with my gsr blades. By march all the silver was just about of of the car and i got my skunk2 shift knob, Civic Type R shift boot, and EP3 si floor mats. It's stayed like that until now. When disaster struck....I was siting at a light and i lost oil pressure. Turns out my car now has rod knock its been sitting to find a swap and nothings came up. Then took it to a shop last thursday and they wanted $4000 to fix my orginal motor. I laughed and gave up until today i found a ls with low miles for 2k installed or the motor i really want Gsr with low miles swaped in my car for 3k. Hopefully this will make me get back interested in my car. i will have more picks and update the story a little bit more when i get back tonite.

CleanNeon98 · 06-18-2009, 05:14 PM

Sounds good, LS swaps are great. LS-VTEC Turbo zomg!

sundaybikes · 06-18-2009, 06:12 PM

ls non-vtec turbo is whats good. 40mpg and 300 hp sounds like a fun time. pics of the ep3 floormats please i want to see how they fit since i dont like the 96-00 ones (they dont say "si" and im snobby) haha

Racersky · 06-18-2009, 11:04 PM

Vtecepidemic · 07-05-2009, 11:23 PM

gsr swap for 3k.... do it!

Honduh · 07-06-2009, 12:30 AM

screw buying a swap. buy a block and start a build.

99civicexsi · 07-07-2009, 07:10 AM

my car with the b18b is just about what i wanted when i get to go over 5k rpms i think ill be happier with it. Im starting to save up for a new exhaust and a snail.

99civicexsi · 07-26-2009, 05:58 PM

traded my blades for a set of ls mesh plus cash. My exhaust has been annoying me so i got a dc sports header and full greddy with high flow cat evo 2 exhaust that was barely used for a month.

99civicexsi · 09-11-2009, 11:18 AM

its been ahwile since my update but the exhaust fell threw. So today im gettn a greddy donk exhaust at the price of my ls mesh wheels. awhile ago i got my certifit bumper put on and it just needs paint. I have painted side skirts coming soon. anybody have any suggestions for my next set of wheels to get. Im debating so far between si wheels or knock off te37's. but am open to new ideas.
