[EJ_Allmota]

great so far ma.. Its one of the standout Sols on here.. definitely get it painted but idk about that J32 swap.. Im not into the whole motor sticking out of the hood idea, thats some muscle car shit to me.. Plus youd have to raised your car up a bit for ground clearance.. Good luck with the build though, im sure it will be nice eitherway..

[quickdodge®]

It had a baaad revving problem, leaky ass targa top seals, the speakers were all blown, and the brakes were a suicide wish.

The first thing I did was paint the valve cover pink & white.

Talk about having your priorities out of whack. Later, QD.

LOL, the first thing I did that i took pictures of, tard :P

[DustnU]

Nice build thead, looks good so far love the stance!!

[civic gsr]

looks nice keep us updated..

[Brian*]

Sic car, but looked the best with the Nippon wheels

[Jecht]

If your D series dies, why not just replace it and boost it? Its more performance for your money.

On another note, I actually like your car. Which is uncommon to hear from me since I'm not exactly a fan of Hondas.

[Genji-Sama]

Oooh, sick. I like the polished wheels best, IMO. Very clean car, none the less

[CBEeng.]

looking good. im going to spray one tomorrow

[Nemesis]

The car was perfect when it looked like this

[swollix]

What a piece. Both the car and the owner. Not a dime piece either, so don't get that idea.

[csmiths]

I would never do a j swap. I'd just do a boosted d and make the same power with half the weight. And way less hassle.

You all drive Hondas, I am gonna go ahead and say none of you know what power is.

a stock "j" swap will walk all over that vette home boy

[Stol3n]

a stock "j" swap will walk all over that vette home boy

I would like to test said theory.

[The Creeper]

Wreck the thing off a cliff and get a new car. Now that is a project

[Dwisforme05]

those polished te37s looked incredible on there. some polished slips would look sick too.

clean car none the less, good work.

BOOSTED "D" IS A WASTE!!!!!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY A GO WITH THE "J" SWAP

[Evil Goat]

BOOSTED "D" IS A WASTE!!!!!!!! SAVE YOUR MONEY A GO WITH THE "J" SWAP

its obvious you're an idiot...JJ went 11.10@130mph on a bosted d with a stock block with some parts laying around the shop...hardly a waste, and no jswapped turd's gonna touch that

no........obvious you're an idiot cause i was saying all motor power is instant power and boost is not.......thats what i meant by different power.....and a car that makes 300 wheel all motor will always kill a turbo that makes 300 wheel.... mr know it all

[toxxxic]

yeah sheesh! and how long is a damn d series making 300 hp going to last? a day? a week? LOL

the most i've seen a stock d series make is like 230 ish... and that's on 11-12 pounds, which is MUCH higher than i'd feel safe with.

a j32a2 is 260hp & 232 torque. tell me what STOCK d series with a turbo kit makes that ??

it has FRP cylinders (no iron sleeves) its a 60* orientation.

if you people havent noticed, i dont give a shit about going fast.

I'd choose the J swap over a boosted D series if money wasnt an option simply because very few people do it, and cheap out and go with the boosted b or d series.

if no one has noticed i like being different yet, you all are blind

Leng's with me!

any ways back to the build thread...........subscribe

[MidLifeCrisis]

I'm not getting into this shit slinging war as both ideas (boosted D and J series) have thir good points. The J swap is goofy as fuck with the horrible fitment, but they do 2 things: Make a civic sound mean, and make a civic MOVE! You will soon see bolt on J swapped civics hitting 11s with good tuning. not to mention all the turbo ones popping up now, and the fact nitrous is only one WOT tap away.

[cwood1388]

Nice build!
