Yo
What's up fellas. Heh I have like the worlds most busted 93 civic EX with 94 integra rims on it. I bought it for like $750 a year ago as kinda a project car. Mostly cause my parents weren't gonna buy a car for me and it was available. It has bad body damage and rust and stuff, it's pretty geh.
A year later I need a new clutch but don't want to put money into my nice and slow d16z6. VTEC, but still slow. Contemplating a 16a2 swap, I was really lookin an 18c1, but $1100 more for an extra 10hp and tq lets be real. I have worked very hard to save up $2k cash, and I am wondering from people who have experience with this kinda thing is there really gonna be a noticeable improvement with a swap? Sure a 18c5 there is an obvious difference but i don't have $5k. I have plans for the car, nothing bolt on though. I despise bolt on hp and think it looks really gay and un-thoughtful. My plans involve a lot of welding, bondo, and electrical work, and paint. It's gonna be hella phat if I ever get the money to do it. Thats about it for me. |

Well it's got an oil leak out the distributor and it's not either of the distributor seals. Guesses are camshaft seal? the oil feels like it? and magic? Soooooo... it's comin out, and if it's comin out, a stock one is not going in it's place. Turbo? eh, hey to each his own.

If you ever find yourself in Wholesale Warehouse, you'll probably run into Sean, tall dude with spikey hair and a goatee. I went to school with Sean at Faith Baptist for two years before we bailed cause it was teh ghey. He's a cool kid though. He'll probably tell you I'm a geeky motha ****er and laugh and stuff.
