Finally bought myself a new ride last weekend
1.6 civc sport 04 plate
I love it :love: its got all the type r styling and muffler tip etc and the interior is nicer than my last one. Ive bought some lowering springs from funky power which should drop it about 2 inches and a strutbrace & rear lower tie bar to help with the handling.
The only problem i have is with the engine; its the same weedy d16v1 that was in my last car about 110bhp.
Im broke atm but iv been looking into the best way to get somemore power from it. From what ive heard on this forum theres no point investing in this engine as its guna cost loads to get anything from it and money thats probly better spent on an engine swap to give it a better base to start from.
I was look at a b18c5 integra engine & transmission from http://www.tigerjapanese.com/index....category_id=6&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=26#
i wont be able to get 1 for a while but i just wona know if ill have to change any other parts to cope with the power or is it jus a case of dropin the new engine tranny and ECU and off you go.
Also i bought the car from a honda dealer so is doing this going to affect the MOT or how they sevice it. E.g. if something breaks will they fix it with the proper b18c5 parts or dont they touch cars like this that have been moded.
Soz if that sounds abit stupid but i ent got a clue when comes to this sort of stuff.
Thanks Ad
