Re: Can't Turn Back Now!!! My Build w/pics.
I don't think this will make more then Hotrex. He's shotting for 400whp, I'm only 320 or a little more. He's got a better starting platform with a b16, but I've always loved the underdog!!
As far a pricing:
Pistons: 295.00 Shipped with rings
Rods: 250.00 shipped
Cams: 150.00 or so
Cam Gears: 80.00 Shipped
Block Filler: 55.00 Shipped
Various Gasket: Don't know yet
Machine work: Looking for about 200-250 if my friend can find me a slot at his shop
Turbo: 190 Shipped, may upgrade a housing to a T4. So about 290.00 in the end.
Charge Piping: DIY. Me buddy and I are getting a good deal on SS Pipe through his work because we are Turboing he b16 this winter too.
Manifold: 70.00 to 120.00 Made be me.
I already have the ECU, LSD, Intercooler and so on.
RHD Clip with everything but motor: 250.00, I plan on selling the brakes, axles, and heater controls.
Paint and materials: Haven't decided if I'm doing it yet or not. My Bro-in-Law was going to, but due to family issues he won't be able to, so I may prime it and I know 3 Guy pretty well who own seperate body shops, and this car will stand out in my area so the would love to put their name on it.
Suspension: Already have it.
Slicks: Thanks KLT-MX3, 225.oo Shipped.
Rims for slicks: Diamond Race Wheels when I determine the size.
Seeing as I'm getting Married this summer, I want the car done by then, then it probabl will never have anything major happen to it again. We have a 1948 For Tudor Coach in or shop to be restored, and I want a 70 Datsun 510, or a 77 Celica, Or a 6 Chevy Nova, So the Civic won't see to much attention, but this thing will ALWAYS be my DD and I plan on NEVER selling it.

Re: Can't Turn Back Now!!! My Build w/pics.
Ya, After something like yellow it is VERY appealing to me. I was going to go Black, but I love having a clean car, and black is a bitch for dust, espacially where I live!!!
