FS/FT: 99-00 Si seats and possibly 192whp B20/vtec swap.
Okay, first off the seats. Either way I want to keep my car and these seats are not comfortable enough for my back nor safe enough to drive around in since the rails don't bolt up.
99-00 front Si seats and rails. I'm either looking for $200 fairly firm or trade for equally immaculate 98+ black integra cloth seats, would prefer with EG rails too. If you really want pics I can get them, but they are stock Si seats that come in a car that is a dime a dozen and are in excellent condition. Edit: Here's a pic, from previous owner. They haven't changed.
Now for the swap. This motor setup came this way when I received the car, so I will make no guarantees on the work.. however it is VERY strong and the guy I got it from was/is an employee at a honda dealership. I'm very hesitant to list this as my current plans involve keeping it and taking it a few steps further, but I figure while it is in downtime I would see if there is any interest in it. NO parting out EXCEPT possibly the head so I can pick one up that hasn't been milled. If you are interested in everything I have listed below.. hit me up in the thread or shoot me a PM and we will talk.
(note for the head and block I am uncertain for production years)
Stock B20b bottom end
B16 head milled .050 (I assume this is inches)
98 spec ITR intake and exhaust cams
ITR valve springs and retainers
ITR intake manifold
PasswordJDM carbon fiber whaledick intake
custom RMF replica header for 2.0L engines, heat wrapped
Golden Eagle ls/vtec conversion kit
310cc injectors, B&M fpr
98 GSR transmission (no grinds) with competition stage 3 clutch and pressure plate
energy suspension motor mount inserts (all mounts included)
gsr ecu with crome chip, dyno tuned with chart 192whp 142wtq
I can also include the shift linkage (I believe it's from a GSR) with the skunk2 dual bend short shifter if needed.
READ THIS FIRST:
Here's the bad news, the timing belt side of the headgasket leaks. During emissions testing the radiator fan did not work and for about 30-40 seconds it overheated on the emissions dyno before being shut off, which boiled the radiator over. The engine drove completely fine(and still strong, kept up fairly well with a friend's 200+whp crx) for about 2 months after this until one day on the beltway it began a slow leak out the timing belt side. I immediately shut the car off and had it towed back to my house. NO smoke from the exhaust appeared in the 30 seconds it has been run since then, although the coolant and water did burn off as steam from where it leaked.
My guess.. gasket slowly started going south after overheating, it only leaks coolant from that one side between the block and the head. I have not driven the car since this occurred, and have been using my pickup truck instead in the meantime while I figure out what to do with it.
If I keep it, obviously the headgasket is going to be replaced as well as new OEM timing belt, water pump, oil pump, aftermarket headstuds and rod bolts, and aftermarket pistons. I would recommend all but the pistons to any potential buyer who wants a reliable and strong b swap. See below for price. I will also entertain offers on the complete head, minus intake and exhaust manifolds as I will want a fresh unmilled head to work with when upgrading pistons.
Price: $4500 fairly firm. Don't like it? Don't buy it. It is still in the car, and if it gets purchased I will rent a motor lift to pull it. I also have a truck to move it, and if you help take the swap out I'll split the cost of gas to deliver it wherever you need it within reason. I am located in NOVA, so this means I won't drive to the 757 unless you would like to pay for all the gas.
Edit: Here's a pic of the swap. From the previous owner.. still looks the same.

That was a possibility I had in mind, but when I got it to my house I started it up to verify and there was definitely coolant slowly leaking out that I could see without an upper timing belt cover. No oil though, and nothing is getting into the cylinders and burning off, but it's still a leak.
