I bought my first 86 Civic with my very first paycheck, from my very first job. I paid $500 bones to pick up the car that needed a paint job and a clutch in the near future...My next paycheck was to replace the clutch, and the next to paint! Here is what she looked like after the paint...
I eventually swapped the B16 in there, and had a blast revving it to 9.5k rpm after the headwork..
Did other things like the knock off recaros and harnesses...rocked those for a while..
This is how I used to roll on the street With the headlight removed for the intake lol
Then this happened....I figured instead of just quick fixing it, I would try to build it up. Fresh paint, and a new motor coming soon..
A few pics of the primer process...
And the car didn't get painted after that! My friend that was helping me paint had a lot going through his life at the time, and he wasnt able to help me finish the paint. So I rocked it for a while I did the LS Vtec / turbo swap at the same time though...so a big boost in hp and fun!
And then dyno #1.....338hp 298tq at wastegate spring boost of 10lbs!
Then I started dressing up the engine bay a lil bit..
And a few pics of it before I swapped the chassis's
And then I found a nice and clean chassis from my friend! He brought the car over from Cali, blew the motor, and didn't have time to do the rebuild at that time. Sold it to me for $800 bones with some wheels on it that I eventually sold. Very clean car....original paint! It isnt the cleanest, but its not bad at all!
And the best run on wastegate spring boost....11.8@119mph. Here is a link to the video :
And now with the new wheels! Gold OG San wheels 15x7 +35
And then with the new fuel setup! We installed in feb of 08. Aeromotive pump/filter/fuel pressure reg and -8 fuel supply lines all the way to the fuel rail. If you look, you can see the tokico illuminas and 1000# H&R springs
And dyno day #2. 464hp 341tq at 18lbs! That is 130hp and 45tq increase from only 8lbs of boost!
Here is the video of the dyno...4th gear pull at about 160mph lol
And the newest addition...the oem wing spoiler!
Just raced on 3.21.08....Had one good run.....11.2@131mph.
Raced again on 4.5.08....Had one good run......11.0@125mph! Here it is on Youtube :
I just bought an B16A S1 Cable tranny....very short gears....
Need to buy the clutch, found an ACT 6 puck unsprung clutch for $100 shipped new, since I will be running the same clutch setup, but need the smaller splines coming from a YS1 tranny. This is the clutch I am using now, just need the correct one for the new tranny.
Also figured I would do the torsion bars at the same time, since they need to be upgraded and realigned....figured I would go with the 31mm since they are the same money as the 29mm
My first video I have ever edited! I think it came out well...Check it out!
We were just messing around on some of the back roads of vegas....the car doesn't have much traction on low boost with the drag radials, so I can't fully push on it like I do at the track....
But now you guys can hear why I got my license plate....Spoooooolin!
****UPDATING THE FRONT PAGE IS A PAIN....Ill get into it again, until then, just follow the thread wherever it goes
I will try to remember most of the stuff done to the car....Ill try to add anything if it comes to mind later. Ask any questions!!!

like i said before you car looks like a monster wouldn't want to run into your civic on the streets...
but, how did you crack that b16 block and how did it run at 9500....????
I had the skunk2 stage2 cams/springs/retainers. The car made the power at 9500 rpm, and loved to be revved up.
Your guess is as good as mine on the bottom end. The bottom was stock, but we were thinking the block was abused before I bought it and had weak walls. Then when I revved it that high, it was only a matter of time.
I think that because I had to replace the rings since they were bad. I broke in the motor no problem, but a few nights racing, and it was done for.
I updated the list of what I have done to the car. Ask any questions if you like.
Drives: 1987 honda civic si (mighty mouse), 1996 gsxr 1100 (the two wheeled road beast)
man, that car is an evil beast, very nice work (im very jealous) the car looks sweet as hell, nice ride man.
SOME PEOPLE ARE LIKE SLINKIES. THEY'RE NOT REALLY GOOD FOR ANYTHING, BUT THEY STILL BRING A SMILE TO YOUR FACE WHEN YOU PUSH THEM DOWN A FLIGHT OF STAIRS.
