Is that the d15b..2/3? Fun begins at 3500 rpm

[dove grey 64]

I wish. I read up about that motor with 3stage vtec
Goes from running 8v to 12v then 16v throughout the range right?
I still think its odd being 16v and single cam

Acquired it today. Really easy to drive and nice and quiet. I'll get some pics

[dove grey 64]

bit rough but cant complain with the price i paid for it, has 6 months rego aswell

I think the D15b is the three stage one, D15b3 is non-vtec I believe. Still has poke though. Looks solid, what are your first plans?

Also lols just noticed groceries in the first picture, way to conform

[dove grey 64]

hah,first plan is baby seat in the back (got one in my ae86 aswell, never been pulled over lol)
fit nardi wheel, get some 4x114.3 to 4x100 adapters and fit some meshies, cut springs or sort out some kind of suspension, get started on neutralizing rust and do bits of bodywork here and there, nothing drastic
also keep an eye out for some cheap evo recaros or new 86 seats and get them in.

and remove nudge bar....

Nice nice, Skunk2 suspension stuff is good value, all the American guys run it. Any plans for motor? I've heard the Sohc is good for turbo applications due to the rhythm of the exhaust or some shit. Also non-vtec so it would have a good comp ratio for it..

Discovered a full set of factory floor mats underneath some generic aftermarket one. Bonus
Also removed nudge bar.
Suspension wise I had a look and the rear end seems to have some sort of adjustable shocks.
If I was getting coil overs id stick with shockworks to be honest. They make stuff that suits our roads well plus the after sales support being local etc

Would a k swap be hard? I mean it is still like a regular civic in the front yeah?
