The car was a mess...inside out when I got it..so no pics of how it was...the engine (original 1.6) was replaced by one of those crappy toyota 1.8 4s....I will post more pics as soon as there is significant progress...currently am looking for the suspension bushes (rear)...have ordered them from Dubai as they were not available here in Islamabad or Lahore...this is my first project...apart from minor modifications in a Civic 96...
@Mugen...can u quote me a price for the bumpers?...I was planning on installing the M3 ones for the same model year...
@Racerf1...I originally did not know much and was installing the 3vg fe...glad that did not work out...I wanted the 1jz gte...the mechanics here in Islamabad were incompetant and said that they will mess up the turbos...and they did with another project...same problem with the 2jz gte...I initially installed the 1jz ge...but wanted a bigger engine and replaced that with a 2jg ge..theres a 10hp difference in them I think..besides the wheels cannot take the power of this engine..im sure those vvti twin tubos would have been worse...I love vtecs so will try one of those in my next project..if this one becomes a sucess
Yes the car is quick as hell...have never even tried it in L as yet...too much wheel spin...the car spins out at gear changes even between third to forth...I need a good High Speed LSD differential...the crown and surf ones are too wide..they stick out horribly...please recommend..
I shall post more info...pics soon..thanks for ur comments.
