This is the start.
A blank canvas, a fresh start, a dent in my bank balance!
a 1997 Honda Civic Ek3. Factory standard with a D15Z6 with 36,000 miles on. Man. That 97 front end if FUGLY. A '99 front end conversion is definately on the cards. Also looking to drop in a B18C5, and...well... I can't reveal ALL the plans, else you'd have no reason to keep reading!
Fell in love at first sight when I saw it. The painwork is divine. "Frost White" although it doesnt carry quite the love that I have for "Championship White" mabye a respray :pFirst time I floored it, I was totally underwhelmed. I mean, I'd read about VTEC, I'd driven cars in video games with VTEC, but I put my foot down in 3rd gear at 2,000 rpm and there was just NOTHING. lol. It felt like I was driving my mum's old 800cc Hyundai Atoz. I quickly let off the gas so as to not crush my dream further. Shortly afterwards, I decided "fuck it, lets see what's it's got" put it in 2nd gear, about 10mph... floored the gas... Nothing...nothing...nothing... 5,500rpm... woah woah woah... change change change!and thats when I fell in love. The "VTEC-Grin" made it's first appearence. And this is only single-cam VTEC.
Woah. I want my B18 nowww!
Peace, and me out.
