the exhaust on the teg was a noname cat back, so ill use my new test pipe and the old teg exhaust. got the motor out. didnt bother with installing the LS in the civic as i need a ride to work for 3 days. had 2 days to do it and didnt even start it....... blah, relaxed laid back weekend.
-
i have to scrub one o the wheels, repaint it. i will manage that friday. may install a new set of speakers.
what i really want is a relocate for the air conditioner controlls. im not just going to lob them into the glove box. i like the ek dash, and the ek console, along with normal people cup holders. i will see if i can pick one up and make it work. pic below of what i want....

And the death of a D series... motors out. ls is going in first thing in the morning. have pics up tomorrow...
-
I went looking for a header this morning. all i found was cast and stainless. what i really want is a black ceramic coated header. They have plenty for D series, and B series vtec, but none for the LS/B20. i did find one. more eBay crap. im not set on eBay or anything, but i am a see it and believe it kind of person. the intake was GARBAGE. ill show a pic of it lined up to the Y7 head i have laying around. another thing i wanted was a billet reservoir for my power steering. i shall be in the shop fabricating something.
another thing was the AC relocate. found a hatch with a wild looking console under the AC/Radio. pics posted.
What i want to do with in the next 6 months - Spark plug wire cover for LS: Aluminum housing for headlights with dual projectors OEM FIT: Aluminum power steering reservoir: 13in MDX brake upgrade (front and REAR): 5x114 spindles cut to fit DX knuckle/Bearing: Odysee automatic Motor and Type S triptronic Transmisison/Complete swap acquired.
Pics below are of the console from the EG hatch and a 1.6 el. i am on an aluminum kick, so bare with me. i would love a full center console make of anodized aluminum. would love.

Rode the LS toda, with 2 fatal flaws. First was the B7 ecu still in the car... woops. powerless gutless little thing. 2nd was riding it with no exhaust. noise nightmare.
-
liken what i see man, keep it up and keep us posted cant wait to see more
-
The ls has great potential. the auto trans snatches. the mounts feeel like steel mounts. im going to be replacing the passenger mount withing the next 2 months. not the rubber mount that is attached to the trans, the one that is attached to the frame. and no, the auto swaps are not the same as manuals. a bit of cutting and a lot of wiggle room. needless to say a boly was far beyond stuck on the t bracket so i left it..... it was a pain... ended up using the integra radiator. moved the rad mounts out....
ill show the intricacies of installing an LS auto into a Civic. i know others have done it, but its worse than doing an H22 as far as the manual install. wiring is Nearly plug and play. NEARLY.

Wheel bearing is going out on the drviers front. it roars now.. this car must have sat, been in an icky inviroment. 2nd bearing to go out befor 200k. my 4 door rocked from 200 to 300 with no problems...
exhaust sounds good....
-
pulling the DX brakes for the LS brakes. LS knuckles are already out.
fresh brake lines. they need new pads though. and there is no 40/40 valve on the integra. imagine, abs.... garbage.
putting the camber kit on as well...
-
Daily Driver update. The car survived the Zebulon to Austell Drive in the ice. handles well, although those wheels are a funky offset and constantly scrub. Pulls well from 25-65mph. Automatic kills it a bit, but its all good.
-
I have a 4040 valve for sale if you still dont have one. I'll be in Zebulon today.
-
ill most definately hit you up in a week when i tear down the rear brakes....
-
Alright man, just let me know.
-
Painted the CAI and heatshield on the LS. played around with the dash harness and found that the LS motors have a separate TCM. i shall do a bit more research but i believe there is no way to use the p06 that has everything internal.

MORE MORE!!!
Looks good so far. I'm interested to see a tip-tronic swap.
-
last one was an ek hatch, the one befor that was a bb2 just like yours.
it will come to pass. as of now, im running a full size radiator. the core support is still all jacked up.
so i am looking forward to an ITR front end. looking forwatd to some custom aluminum ONE OF A KIND parts.

You can see the last two photos are before and after. you can see the shine on the shock tower and behind the battery. live on a dirt road so its nearly impossible to keep clean. i do believe i want some badges like below.....

The shock tower plugs rubbed my intake a bit. i wish i could tear down this car and work on it constantly. ill post up pics of the bumper and how it was melted....
