what are your plans for mods?

[injendsm]

what is everyone planning to have done to their cars by years end? after i pay off a couple credit cards and an engagement ring, i'm going to be picking up....

set of headers
set of 1.9 rockers
3.2 modular pulley system (i have a 3.4 press on right now)
a more subtle spoiler than the stocker
tint my taillights
possibly lower the car

anyone else wasting a decent chunk of change on theirs? i know tragic is but he and i can't be the only ones.

[madbomber1998]

Pistons and rods for the engine then turn up the boost a bit more

Tune the cams

Probably an oil cooler

Hard top, painted to match

Install my racing seats and harness'

Install my turbo timer

Replace the front bumper to improve airflow to the radiator, etc. and probably do a whole, subtle body kit at the same time

[Fuk_jdm]

well... I dont rly have plans for my car because I currently dont have one. I am driving that SXT neon that I rented about a month ago.

But... I am thinking of buying one of those mini's... I was talking to BLKFLAT4 about it. I am thinking of buying that car, and doing a conversion on it to a B16. I am looking on the net right now and I am thinking about ordering the frame right now.

If I do get this car here is a list of plans that I have been making recently.

-Depending on the condition, Ill have it repainted to a IS300 Red and completely refurbished, and upholstered.
-Install a Rag top.
-Install 15 or 16 inch BBS or Rotas with Falken Enzies
-Drop it untill the wheel gap is gone.
-Install the B series Engine
-Install AC
-Install a quiet muffler
-Use it as a DD.

My brother ended up keeping the Hatch, and he is paying me little by little. So if he flakes out ill finish it with what I had previously planned.

-Install the B18, and turbo.
-Install the Omni suspension that I have laying around here (have to find it first)
-Purchase the Rotas circuit 10's
-Repipe the exaust with no cat, and with either the S2k or Mitsubishi V6 stock muffler
-Do a DC interior conversion
-Replace the hood with the stock white
-May be the JDM lip kit :whoknows:
-Sell it.

I think that this is all... Its either the civic or the mini that is going to get any attention from me. I cant afford to do both.:sadwave:

[injendsm]

i think the mini would be an interesting project to do. i didn't even know the b16 swap was possible with that car until you mentioned it in BLKFLAT4's thread.

[pimp_on_wagon]

rear strut tower brace
short shifter

[Smokeyii]

plans for my 240....

Replacing plugs/wires/distrubitor
Fix oil leak (head gasket)
replace clutch slave cylinder
replace rack and pinion
replace brake master cylinder
front adj. tension rods
strut tower bars (front and back)
full exhaust
intake
relocate battery to hatch
paint job
new seats
new steering wheel
new sway bars
control arms
motor mounts
short shifter
new radiator/fan(s)
upgrading the brakes (possibly the z32 conversion, with 5 lug hubs)
new fuel pump
minor weight reductions
new tint

All I can think of right now :D


Not nessicarly in that order, but those are the things that I'd like to have done by the end of the year. I'm not planning on boosting or swapping the motor anytime soon, and I really don't need a whole lot of power to do what I want to do with the car for now.

Ultimate goal would be to supercharge the KA, sylvia front end, carbon fiber hood/hatch... but I'm more into fixing the things that need to be fixed on the car, then adding performace mods (engine) and upgrading the suspension.

[BLKFLAT4]

Well as far as the Mini goes it will be a leisure car for now. I just want to enjoy it for a little while before we rip into it but I to am going to do a B series Vtec swap.
160-170 hp in a car that has a curb weight of 1300lbs. ought to be pretty interesting.

As far as the Subaru goes it has recently received a TBE and Tomorrow We are installing A new Turbo, Injectors, Fuel Pump and Uppipe.

Then I am done for a while.

I don't get it.... why take a cool car like a Mini, and put a honda motor in it?

Someone please explain this to me...

[Fuk_jdm]

Reliability,
Replacement Parts easy to find,
Power,
More luxury options like AC, PS etc.
Brag Rights,


Keep going?

[The Jew]

Why does everyone hate on Hondas so much? They make more power than any other manufacturers (almost) small displacement motors do. The S2000 makes more power without a turbo/sc out of a 2.0/2.2L than most manufacturers do from a turboed engine of that displacement.

Hell, my Honda K20Z makes more whp than an SR20DET stock for stock, more than a DSM 4G63, Mk3 Supra, or 3SGTE.

Now when mods come in to play thats a different story ::owned::

[The Jew]

As for mod plans, as soon as I install mods at my house the RSX is done, no more mods ever (yeah right) :mad:

The 240:

new better turbo manifold
garrett gt2871r .86ar
either custom liquid-air IC or greddy rspl fmic
rocker arm stoppers
hks step 2 cams
aem ems w/ wideband uego
metal headgasket
low comp pistons (if compression is low)
eagle rods (if compression is low)
strut bars/sway bars/tie bars

kaaz 2-way lsd and espelir jgt500r exhaust - already ordered and en route.

[ayat108]

-keep the tires at proper inflation
if i do anything, it'll only be to put stage2 but probly stage1 springs.

my car is pretty much "done".
or if my hood gets too chipped i'll CF the hood and trunk.

[ilove7s]

Nice single turbo kit

V-mount intercooler

pulley set

clutch and flywheel

short shifter

Stainless steel lines from gas tank to injectors

[fearlessaltima]

Build my new motor, up to bigger 550 injectors, mite even change suspension,run an 11.9-12.1, finally put in my interior, and last but not least get another paint job and not from Pro Comp.
