pulleys.

Keep it. Save up for some of that vtec.

I was planning on a Frankenstein. I really cannot find a general price range of getting this done...or even how.

I don't mean to derail the thread though. Keep it coming.

Springs/shocks.

springs shocks

Some headwork, perhaps? A new clutch, and w/ a bit more, a nice flywheel? Pullies are definately worth the 150, as well.

Suspension for sure. My car is a new car now that I have my springs and shocks.

Templar · 05-13-2003, 08:13 PM

What springs and shocks can you get for $500?

jtcdudeman · 05-13-2003, 08:53 PM

2 hookers for a 3some.... Maybe some nice alcohol and a good hotel room... LOL, Jk

jtcdudeman · 05-13-2003, 08:55 PM

I paid 430 for my Kyb Agx's and my skunk2 coilovers... Look around and find the best deal! Its not hard... Both off of ebay... Used coilover and brand new shocks! 280+shipping of 20.50 for the shocks and 130 shipped for the coilovers! Good deal... Just look for it... Give it a few weeks of checking around!

I got my KYB AGX adjustable shocks and H&R sport springs for about that, shipped to my door.

jtcdudeman · 05-13-2003, 09:57 PM

its possible and not too bad either...

wutangben · 05-13-2003, 10:28 PM

eibach prokit springs and suspension techniques sway bars.

IF youre interested in the H23VTEC Hybrid you'll need this at least:

H22 Head
H22 Header
H22 Intake Manifold
H22 Timing Belt
H22 Oil Pump
Vtec Soleniod
P13 ECU--some have used the P72 GSR for topend gains?

Not sure which Water Pump though?
You would also need the larger fuel injectors if they dont come on the IM you get.

I figure with good parts shopping between $800-$1000 depending on what bargains you find and how cheat you get the gaskets and belts and such

I will most likely go this way, but what bothers me is the fact that We can basically get a JDM H22a W/ ECU sent to our door for about $1500, so what I am planning on that swap then pull apart the H23 put Type S pistons and strap the JDM head to it and have a awesome Hybrid. If you search you will find a few different posts on this hybrid here and on Honda-tech. The article's with the most posts will be the one's you need

Just wanted to touch on that for ya.....

irishpilot · 05-13-2003, 11:07 PM

But for the $500 you have now,

Hands down suspension is the best!
If I were you I would get used Nuespeed or H&R sport springs
drop on struts of choice, get AEM pulleys, and get the stainless
steel brake lines from TURBOEVO in the parts classified.

that should give you a nice balance of performance and handling

If you have the patience to save, this is what I'd REALLY go for.
