#340633 So check this out, I picked up a 94 hatch in a straight trade for my truck! So now i'm rocking two civics.

Let's see... Spec:

94 Hatchback

Drivetrain:

B18 LS bottom end
B16 VTEC head
Chipped ECU (not sure, but tunable)
DC 4-1 header
ARP head studs
Golden Eagle LSVTEC conversion kit
GSR water pump/tensioner
Partial wire tuck
Password JDM carbon-kevlar intake
Straight piped exhaust, with a Cherry bomb in the middle.
(Skunk2 system to be installed tomorrow ASAP)

Exedy clutch
GSR geared transmission. Stamped Y1 I think, and it's cable driven?
Possibly short throw shifter? it's got a shorter throw than my sedan, maybe from an Integra.

Suspension/chassis:

Tein springs on lowtec shocks
Enkei 17 gold wheels
Strut tower bar
lower tie bar


No A/C and the rack has been converted to eliminate power steering.

It's got some body work that needs to be done and the interior needs some love. It's got an Integra gauge cluster installed though. It had a dual gauge pillar pod that was empty and switches all over the place that did nothing. Story has it, it was boosted before the LS-VTEC swap was done.

Ok, on to the pics. Here's how it looked when I first got her, stickers all over the place and filthy as hell.

Then I got to work on cleaning up all the stickers, putting on missing screws and pieces of the interior, putting on a wheel cover for now (will put my Grant Challenger on there when I finish with the Nardi), and working the bugs out of the engine.

#340659 Update. Got the Skunk2 exhaust on, but the way the Cherry bomb was welded in, I had to leave it inline, or go out and buy new piping, so it's still in there. It's a lot less obnoxious and the rattle and rasp is minimized.

#340660 Also, the sedan is MUCH MUCH MUCH Faster...

Like, to the point I might rip out the LS-VTEC and put a stock LS motor or even go back D-series with it... I do NOT see the point in that motor...

#340679 is it built at all or just stock bottom end and head?

I do too! I had to tweak it the other day, it's a retrofitted Integra cluster.
