Dillemma, need help
 
Well I went to the junkyard for a new front bumper and I ended up buying another D16Z6 longblock for $80. 8) Now I basically have an insurance policy incase I "accidentally" hit the nitrous. Now what the hell should I do?

a) Do a mild build (pistons and rods) in the new motor and boost the hell out of it

b) ---- building the D-series cause they're worthless and just use it when I blow up the other motor and wait till I'm out of school to get an S2000 and invest money into that.

Any idea's?

Sounds good, and maybe some nitrous as well, just to ensure you blow her up :D

I'd go with plan A. I'm "in the process" of building one for myself. I just want a motor that I can beat the ---- out of with little to no care about the rods shooting out of the side of the block or ring lands divorcing the pistons. It's only a matter of time before the 150shot and 18psi blows the ---- out of the stock D. :-\

I vote A

Either way though, before you drop in the new motor/get the s2k, disconnect teh wastegate vaccum line, and load her up with some spray. Don't forget to post the videos! :P

unless your making some serious cash...go for the s2000...but i would just build the D and save money after your done building it. When the fucker blows up or you have enough money to put a down payment on a s2k buy it. Me personally saving money to get an rsx type s. My payments on my current civic should be payed by 2008. by that time i should afford an rsx-s. In the meantime might as well enjoy my boosted car im stuck with now :-\
