well I bought this gsr awhile back ago when I had my suby because I needed a car to drive around whenever I was doing work on the suby and thought it would be useful to have an extra car.
Since this is a suby site here is my old car....

Now here is how my gsr looked when I first got it...

then I installed my jdm front end and slammed my car. I also took off my rear spoiler and took off the antenna and covered up the holes with a rubber plug. which was pretty ghetto but it did the trick.

it needs some Jmags.

now the car was multi colored which looked odd. So I dropped it off at my shop and had them repaint the car championship white. I also raised the car a bit because I got irritated not being able to turn without rubbing. I also put on my new wheels and installed a racing seat I had in my garage. While my car was at the shop they shaved my moldings, covered up all the holes and believe me there were a lot of holes haha

I was pretty happy with everything but I really wanted some red recaros so... I bought some haha here r the current pics of what the car looks like now as of today. Pics was taken by my camera phone since my camera is broken

Good job man. It looks siiikk withe the jdm front end.

You work very fast.

must be nice to work at a shop. nice ride.

why are you spending money on this when you've got a suby that can be made fastar!

wow that looks great.

why are you spending money on this when you've got a suby that can be made fastar!

I sold the suby awhile back ago believe me when I had it I was not willing to spend any money on this car. haha But it's also kinda bad having owned the suby previously because i'm not even willing to add any mods to this motor because to me it's just ehh a slow car. hahah But it does handle really well so i'm gonna be taking it to the track this summer to have some fun with it. I already did a major tune up on the car I changed out, distributor cap and rotor, plugs, wires, timing belt, water pump, all the seals, and fuel filter. So hopefully when I go to the track my car won't blow up....

You work very fast.

haha to be truthful I was able to order all my parts and get everything done in less then a month. the ffbn kr3w was shocked I finished so fast. hahaha

I totally agree makes the front end look kinda wider actually
wow that looks great.

thanks! :thumb:

Well right now oil is dripping from the oil pan looks like i'm gonna need a new oil pan gasket but what i'm gonna do is put sealant around the areas its leaking and hopefully it fixes it. I'm annoyed because I dropped off the car to do a 16.99 oil change now my oil pan is leaking.....whatever I shouldn't have been lazy. Yes I agree al I should of left that little piece in the front bumper black....Well I gotta take it back to the shop where I got it painted anyways because I gotta have them repaint the lip on the car so i'll just have them redo the front bumper at the same time. I never noticed it in when i first got it done. But I guess a lot of honda guys hella look at that little black part. Ehh go figure. Now for the 5 lug conversion and turbo.....Sounds nice it would be pretty pimp if I could do that

looks good.

You work very fast.

Ditto. Nice work though man, very clean

***** I know right? hahah

haha does that make me a honda guy? :spit:
I know on honda-tech its always needs to be lower, more jdm, or some uber rare wheels or some crap like that.

I like the direction your car is going in. From the pictures of your civic I'm sure this one is gonna kick ass too.
Modding a honda is so much cheaper than modding a suby.

I know someone selling a turbo kit :RockOn - not mine:

400whp easy on the good ol b18c1. Just gotta put the power down :evil:

Good luck with the build Raymond and keep us updated.

Man you r soooo dead on with honda-tech. haha
thanks for the kind words i'll post up some better pictures whenver I get my camera fixed again for like the 2nd time. (my camera likes to fall on the ground and break) Hopefully i'll have have more time early march to drop my car off back to my shop and get the things I need to fix done.

hey tamashi...where did you get the jdm front end at? and how much?

i am going to be buying my coworkers 96 rs soon for a commute car and wanted to do just some minor stuff...front end, drop and rims? what are you lowered on too...nice job...

did you do all the work yourself, if so...how long did it take to do the total conversion?

...my bads for the barrage of questions :)

drop a k20a in there.


wont be a "ehhh slow car" anymore =]

...my bads for the barrage of questions :)

well to help answer some of ur questions.
1) go to n1 concepts in sf they have great prices for a complete jdm conversion. You should be able to get it for around 1300 and make sure it comes with of course the front bumper, grill, radiator support/bumper support, headlights (get the one with the black housing like I did looks more baller) fenders, sidemarker for the fenders, and the last thing is try to make sure they include the latch wire for it. I didn't get the latch thing so I custom did mine.
2) Did I do it myself? Err nope took I took it to a bodyshop near me to do it. Putting the fenders on and bumper is easy but the hard part is you need to know how to weld on the radiator support. I have no experience in that so I had the professionals take care of it. The other hard part is wiring the headlights, turn signals, and city lights. If your good with electrical stuff then you should be able to do it....If your not let someone that knows what there doing take care of it because if u short anything out it can be pretty expensive to fix. Oh also make sure u change out ur fuse to something thats can handle more watts because ur gonna have more lights when u install the jdm front. I didn't do that at first...and when I was driving the interior lights didn't turn on, my brake light didn't turn on so it looked like I wasn't stepping on the brakes, and my signal light didnt work. I checked the fuses and I changed it out.
3)For suspension I have a set of skunk2 coilovers, it's simple and gives me the flexability of lowering or raising my car whenever. It actually rides pretty good but it's stiffer then I anticipated....Basically my goals for this car is the same as urs. I just wanted a fun, decent looking daily driver that is good on gas and is cheap to maintain. My gsr takes care of all of what I was looking for.
4) Currently with all the money i've saved buying this car instead of say...an m3 i'm able to invest the funds and hopefully make some extra interest to buy the family an suv!

hope that was helpful!

looking good man, the championship white is killer

makes me wanna get a honda as my beater lol

wow very clean.. you stole my idea... I was going to sell my subie to get a gsr w/ jdm front and a cbr ahha.

good ****.

hey you can still do it! We can have twin cars again! haha But it's kinda scary having a jdm front in the city though....I already have a few friends that got there cars stolen.

ill always love jdm front end on a dc2...lovin it man

Nice car, yeah dude Hondas only look good if they are all "JDM" d out, i had a 98 Lude all type S' d out, that **** can get expensive...

I like it...looks nice and clean.

No sense in doing power mods unless you're gonna throw a K20 in and then you jump into a whole big money pit.

Just keep that GSR motor running good and play with the suspension IMHO.

I want a GSR as well to be my DD...but am afraid I will start modding it like crazy too!

she looks great dude :thumb:

I was reading something one time here on iclub about a guy who raced a k20 swapped civic I think and he had like a stage 2 wrx. Well I guess the wrx smoked the k20 by like two cars? I dunno maybe less but damn.....But hey a civic with a k20 is ballin'

ill always love jdm front end on a dc2...lovin it man
thanks! Hey did you buy that blue paint color for the wheels over at kragen? Been thinking of doing something like that with my stock wheels to practice
Nice car, yeah dude Hondas only look good if they are all "JDM" d out, i had a 98 Lude all type S' d out, that **** can get expensive...
yes....veryy veryyy expensive. I've already thrown more then $4k in this car....(paint, conversion, wheels, seats, and a couple of a few other things I haven't installed)

hahah yeah man most of us here can't keep a car stock and ur so right a k20 swap is hella expensive. You can actually buy another car for the price of just the motor. Oh and yeah i've done a lot to this motor to get it running the way it is now. Motor feels really healthy so i'm happy.

she looks great dude :thumb:

thanks for helping me out with the paint shop

sweet. Just make sure you keep it garaged and dont have it on the streets for more then.......lets say 20 mins? lol. But im glad you fixed the integra the right way. Jdm Front end, shaved sides, wingless, recaros.....YUm....

^^^^hahah I had a feeling I wasn't the only one who read that! haha
oh and my bad I thought u sprayed it urself I remember seeing ur car at mt. hammy and I was very impressed! Your car really stood out I was looking around and my eyes locked in to ur car! hahaha

Yeah I admit i've driven my cousins civic with a k20 in it and it was really fun. But different from what i'm use to with the suby. I know I shouldn't compare but I owned my suby for so long it's hard not too. Oh and well I owned a turbo civic in the past so I know these cars can be pretty fun with a turbo in it...but...i'm also scared to go hella crazy with this car because that very same turbo civic was stolen in my parking garage when I lived in sunnyvale.

I still remember walking into the garage to this day and pressing the unlock button on my remote and thinking I just forget where I parked.....

k20??

nah!!!

go f20!!!!! hahahaha ;)
