Hey all; My name is Drew Foster. I just bought a 1997 Honda Civic coupe HX.


Really looking to autocross the car mostly, so hoping to net around 130-140 wheel, but i need to do someting about the y5. I dont know ANYTHING about D series and I hope to learn alot by coming here.


Hopefully you all can steer me in the right direction, im really, truly a vtec n00b. I had an 88 accord with the A20CA1 with a header, and exhaust, and a Holley 4 barrell (way too rich hahaha) but so far thats my only experience with Honda's.


Are D series easy to swap from one honda to the other? im looking for a little high revving fun here, nothing too fast. I came from the VW community, and have alot of experience building SOHC 8v torque monsters, so i hope maybe i can transfer some of that knowledge to the D series. of course, minus the torque haha.

Welcome to the D. Do some searching and you'll find what you need to know.

P.S. I smoked a GTI with my stock D. It was just WAY heavier.;)

the y5 has lots of potential but that tranny is going to suck ass if your speeding up and slowing down and speeding up and slowing down and...you get the point. Good luck
