ash d-series Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 Just bought this a couple of weeks ago. It started life as an lsi and now has a b16a2 in it but the conversion wasn't completed properly meaning there was loads of codes in the ecu and the vtec wasn't working. After a lot of head scratching and searching/ annoying people for info on the forums i've finally figured out the problems and am just waiting on my ecu to return from H-tune to see if i've fixed it. Its not mint and it does need a couple of new panels which i think i've sourced. The first thing i plan on changing is the wheels because they are way too big and they have ripped the front wing to bits. Anyway heres the pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted December 4, 2011 Share Posted December 4, 2011 nice looking coupe mate, like the early style coupes best. Did you put the engine in or was it already in place? Lots of potential, gonna be a sweet coupe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ash d-series Posted December 4, 2011 Author Share Posted December 4, 2011 I bought it with the engine already in but the guy gave up on the wiring and the brakes haven't been changed with the conversion so it is kind of half finished at the moment. I made the mistake of not asking him enough questions when i went to get it which means i have no clue what the engine originally came out of, its a strange one because it is a b16a2 but seems to be wired up like a jdm engine and turns out it had a JDM ecu in it too so after a bit of head scratching i decided to to send the ecu off to h-tune to get a custom map to get get rid of the knock sensor codes that it kept spitting out and now all i need to do is wire up the vtec and it should be good to go 'fingers crossed' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh i quite like the rims, i just think 17's are a bit big for the car. Probably look good on an mb6 though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ash d-series Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Thanks for the comments guys. I think i'm gonna go for some 15" wheels, i put the 17's on ebay yesterday and they sold pretty much straight away. I've got some temp wheels until i can find a set of mb6 vti-s wheels to go on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 i used to have one of these, loved the stock handling compared to my ek3, mine was only a 1.5 lsi, think they were made in the u.s and exported here?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
