'B' Aggressive

I never thought I'd see the day that I'd own a B-Series. As most of you know, I traded my Milano Red Civic coupe not to long ago for a fully built, low compression B16A swap and turbo kit and bought another Civic coupe that was too good of a deal to pass up. The car has every possible option and OEM accessory available in 1993. Power everything, fog lights, audio console, equalizer, cloth wrapped arm rest, keyless entry/alarm, and a bunch more things. I had planned on taking the process a little slower, but after 282k miles on a stock short-block D16Z6, it gave out. So it came to the point where I needed to get this motor in ASAP. A bunch of people were more then willing to take time out of their lives to help me out. With the help of DaBeastWthn and soundqjr's Dad, I had my car towed and the motor brought over to Spork's house. Steve and I started on the swap yesterday around 10:30. Ran into a couple problems. Ate lunch and were finished and cleaned up just before 9:30. So far, the car runs perfect. Now I just need to get some miles on the car and get the turbo kit on.

Thanks a lot to Spork, DaBeastWthn, N2HIFI, and anyone else who helped out along the way. GMR FTW!

Edit: I know, my camera sucks. And I know, I need to clean up the engine bay and fix a few things.

Glad that it went smooth enough for you to take the car home last night, Rob. Boost will come soon enough, better that it run and be able to get him around a little and work out the kinks first.

don't worry, this one has a pretty sick pearl over it... it looks much sicker than a plain white valvecover.

Indeed! VC looks HAWT! Look even better with all the IC piping too. Congrats!
