My first engine swap build thread

[gothguydante]

i agree i got a cousin who had a civic with a Acura Integra type R swap and a del soul stock he swapped the type R into the del soul and he thinks he is the coolest guy on the planet now... and i told him about the BPT swap that i want to do on my car and that it would give him a run for his money.. he started laughing so hard he cried and said something like a festiva couldn't beat a stock lawnmower.. and i would be better off buying me a civic... and i do admit that a Type R swap is a pretty good engine but with all his crap in his car and the way he shifts i think a auto BPT would be able to outrun him

^^ Not true. Just by me bringing Red to work i managed to get three people into festivas....2 of them already purchasing multiple festivas.

Be glad festivas are different, and not your cookie-cutter honduh. I'll give more respect to a person with a b6 festiva over any swapped honda d-b-k series.

WOW!
I just came across this thread for the first time and skimmed through all your posts.
Looks real nice!
I bet it smells nice too now. haha.

Are you using the stock wheels with those tires or a different size?

Is that the custom 3/4 car racing stripe! I'd rock that all the way down the length of the car!!

Wow, nice improvement fresh! now let's see some installed pics of that grille!

Tah-dah !!





Got a nice white one too without any cracks, chips, stratches. With clips and screw.

Let me locate you a hood and hatch. need options on the hatch?

No specail options. Rear defrost would be nice but not important and I can install the wiper. If you come arcross blue bumper covers Id take them too. Otherwise Ill have some black bumpers painted. The metalic is just hard to duplicate.

My replacement grill arrived today, couldnt be happier. It was much better than I was expecting, like new. Still needing a hood. Heard that the hatch I was going to get was destroyed so Ill have to live with a dent or two in my current hatch until another one can be found.



The flames from the engine fire melted the corner of the old grill

With all the name brand performance parts you decided not to buy for your Honda, you should have money left over to invest in a dictionary!

And welcome to ff.com, you'll love it here!

People are sheep. They need brand names to feel validated. Materialism at it's finest.

i own a honda and dont need and dont need anything goofy to feel different or cool

^or even the DOHC motor... thats about the same power as a b6... and a crazy redline too

[eurotiva]

The b6 should have at least been an option on these cars.

YES YES YES it should have been Then there would be a huge following.
