well.... I figured I would get my build thread going, even though it'll be a slow build.
car: 1995 civic dx hatch
body milage: 180,000
what was done to it when I got it:
full cat-back exhaust (unknown brand), jg header, cold air intake (unknown brand, prob ebay), different gauge face.
motor: d15b7 (burned oil like a mofo)
things I've done so far:
took cold air intake off, and switched for stock airbox. swapped cluster for ex cluster. put on oem honda lip (for shits an giggles). replaced motor for a d16z6, temporarily so i don't have to keep dumping oil in it every half day.
THE PLANS:
motor/trans:
- usdm H22A1 swap
- h2b kit
- either a gsr, or ls tranny
- lsd kit for tranny
- boost duh. (still doing research on what I want and shooting for)
- dart mid sleeves
- crower 2.5l stroker kit
- different intake mani, haven't looked yet....
- external oiling, or shortened oil pan.
EXTERIOR:
- spoon lip
- spoon duck bill
- c/f oem hood (maybe still undecided)
- rota slips, flat black
- dropped bout an inch an half, tokicos with h&r springs
- taking care of the little rust it has now
- respraying the car pearl white
- jdm head lights/corners
- jdm fenders
- replace hatch glass, again
- rear disc conversion
- tower an lower bars
INTERIOR:
- replace front seats, with what...idk yet....
- changing the interior color to black (using connies write up)
- replace carpet
- replace broken cup holder
- replace shift boot with red stitched black one
- block off radio opening (I don't listen to it anyways)
well that's about it kiddies, besides the little things I didn't want to write and are the ovious.
how she sits now:
