Touch my Honda please.
Hey guys, my name is Tym and I drive a 240whp NA 98 Honda Civic coupe as my race car. The the frs/brz is the first car besides the Honda crz, that has gotten me excited.... Insanely excited. I realize that you guys have a new member area. However, there are two of them and I have not decided whether I am an frs guy or a brz guy. Either way the community shouldn't be divided as such.
I have owned my Civic for over 10 years now, and have changed out virtually everything over the years. I have multiple coilovers, motors, cam packages, exhausts setups, brake setups.....ect. For example; I have owned over 7 of the best B series headers ever made, just to see what was and is actually the best (dyno tests). My car finally sits in its current setup as a more permanent setup, as I have really reached near perfection. I have tried everything to get the most out of the B series engine and EK chassis. I believe I have finally found that bliss. As of last year I had the highest wheel Hp made out of a completely oem, NA 1.8 B series block. Than a close friend to my tuner squeezed out about 250whp out of the same setup with a 2mm larger TB, larger injectors, and a slight chopping of the same intake manifold I have used. I have already adapted these mods and will retune soon. For now the car is sitting at the shop hiding. I cannot possibly list every mod, as everything has been replaced but some of the bolts. Engine: 100% tuned and ran on e85 USDM b18c5 block new from the dealer. - completely oem with custom shaped PCT oem pistons - oem head gasket - First Endyne breather tank kit - Hasport Mounts - Innovative optional solid 2 AC and trans mounts. USDM b18c1 head. Portflow race port - Porflow springs, retainers, flat faced valves, guides, seals. - Jun3 cams, Skunk2 gears (can't remember timing specs) - Second Endyne breather tank kit off the VC - Edlebrock Performer X ported and matched (currently shortening the runner to make 250+) - RC440 (Have purchased ID 750s' part of 250+ plan) - OEM fuel rail and Blox FPR - Proffesional products TB 68MM (Have purchased a Skunk2 70MM part of 250+ plan) -3inch v-stacked intake, dyno length tuned**** with 6inch filter. Exhaust: - B19 SMSP Header - The exhaust piping is 3inch in diameter from the header back to the muffler - 3 inch true inner diameter Vibrant resinator. - 3 inch true inner diameter Vibrant stealth stock looking black muffler. Suspension / Brakes / Wheel&Tire: - Currently GSR full disc and caliper swap on all 4 with HAWK HP+ all around. - S2000 front Brake conversion with Carbotech X10 pads chillin on my desk for later this season. - ATE Super blue with COATED Stainless lines. - Tein MONO FLEX (14k/8k) - SPC fully adjustable camber and toe in the rear (0 Toe, -1 Camber in the rear) - Skunk2 Pro Series Front Camber Arm. (O toe, -3 Camber in the front) - All New urethane bushings.... every single busing you could replace. (BUT, the oem shifter bushing due to preference) - Custom R Crew (Comptech) rear sub frame brace. - Adjustable Function 7 Rear lower control arms - EX front 22MM sway, and CTR rear 22MM sway (SO Neutral) -6 Point roll bar - Roll bar tubed brace between the rear shock towers. - Stitched welded front end bits with custom mad inner fender braces - Enkie ERo1 (16x7) with Handcook RS3's in 225/50/16 (little too tall) Trans: - OEM JDM 96 ITR trans (shorter 3rd-4th than 98) - OEM JDM 4.785 Final drive (96 was 4.4) - Exedy stage 2 3 puck (my 5th one and LOVE LOVE LOVE it) - ACT PROlite 8.? LBS (My 4th and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it) I know I am forgetting A 100 little things that make the car what it is, but that is the main stuff really. I would like to end with that I feel this car is the new ITR of this generation. I see a lot of Honda OG screen names here and a few othe friends here. I feel that I have a lot to offer this community in terms of experience and I can't wait to pick up my he tf86/brz. Last edited by TouchMyHonda; 07-22-2012 at 01:41 PM. |

That must be a blast to drive.
I started in an 88 Civic hatch, then went to a 94 Prelude VTEC, then to an 03 CL Type S (still have it). There was also a 90 Civic hatch that I still have, its supposed to be a project but I doubt thats ever going to see the light of day
