Thanks, I really like the Fit rims on it but I had to put 15mm spacers to get them to work. Its a 96 with A/C and I put power steering, front and rear sway bars, Blox short shifter and ground control coilovers with Skunk 2 sport shocks. She loves it and the 42 mpg.

Got the good news on the head it's okay and the valves cleaned up and are being reseated. Got the tires in made in Chilie! do we make anything in the USA? 175/70/13R. Wet sanded the last 2 rims and polished out. And ordered the carpet. She's starting to come together.

I think one thought I would have in my head is to fix this up so your daughter enjoys it for as long as possible. When she's ready to move on, the car will be the perfect candidate for a heart transplant

Now yall are speaking my language. B18 is a good swap, but do the gsr (b18c1). All the other b18s are ls with no vtec. My two cents....build a b20 bottom end punched and sleeved,b16 or gsr head matted to it for decent reliable power. Or go all or F2K.....ftmfw

Soon as she back up and running it's into the B.S. for a good buffing and reshoot all the black w/ satin black. She has 2-3 parking lot dings but over all staight and no rust.
On another note on the way home today I stopped and asked about this 91 intergra I've seen sitting in the same spot for over a yr. now. The Father said for 300.00 it's yours?!! Not that I need another basket case right now .... I have this 1

Talking

Well the rain today proved the work done this W.E. was well worth it. No leaks around the tails and the carpet is dry! Yeah, it's the little things right?
Stopped by and got a tap & die set to clean up the head bolts and block. I love a reason to get a new tool. Nappa oil filter for start up, pick'n up the head tonight. After Kelsie's soccer dinner, ya I'm a soccer Dad! I don't know how, it just happens.....

LOL As long as you don't drive a minivan with stickers on the back window to represent every member of the family, including the dog, you're OK

I'm with you on tools. I used the brake job to justify buying in impact driver. Maybe could have done it without one, but wanted the tool.

Nice find. Now that my Fit is basically done I really have been wanting to pick up a EF for a little project. I even have it kind of planed out what I want to do to it if I ever get one, lol.

Well this week so far has been eventful, got the head back and p/u 3 seats Friday! Scored a nice set of 88-89 Si seats w/ the red lines running through them and not falling apart.I was really happily surprized @ the shape these are in.

Nice pick up on the seats. Did you get them reupholstered or got them as-is? Looks like in real good shape!
