First got my Honda in Florida was down there visiting my parents when i saw the car for sale for cheap so i bought it and drove it home. Cars a 95 ex 2dr. B18b swap with ls trans. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/301984458757_0_0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/301984458757_0_0.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/302006098181_0_0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/302006098181_0_0.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/301985027205_0_0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/301985027205_0_0.jpg) Got the car home and the next day the head gasket blew on me. Sent the head to machine shop had it checked out and it needed alittle work so i had the hsop do it. Put it all back together and drove the car for couple weeks. While the head was being done i installed my lowering kit and painted my rims black. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/305794461061_0_0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/305794461061_0_0.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/305217821573_0_0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/305217821573_0_0.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/312532665349_0_0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/312532665349_0_0.jpg) Then i sold the 17s and picked up Rota Slip streams. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/312778772357_0_0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/312778772357_0_0.jpg) Then i was about to sell car and decided not to. I wanted to do a couple of little things to the car make it a little quicker so i searched for a B18b swap and found one cheap so i picked it up and started the swap. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/317109526789_0_0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/317109526789_0_0.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/317109442181_0_0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/317109442181_0_0.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/317321663749_0_0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/317321663749_0_0.jpg) Finshed the swap. Drove the car to a friends shop. He made the extension for the exhaust and did some other little things i could not get to because i had to go on vacation. Picked the car up last week done and running real good. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/322748585605_0_0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/322748585605_0_0.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/323096799109_0_0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/323096799109_0_0.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/323096998789_0_0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/323096998789_0_0.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/323097110789_0_0.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/323097110789_0_0.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/3-4.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v480/groundedcavi/3-4.jpg) Next for the car is alittle boost.
