Just got it for $400. After winter is over I'm startin work on it. Planning to fix the rust, get a Combat kit, then drop in a B16 sometime later.

Why is the pic from 2002? Um...and do the swap first.

 

[Koda]

yeah do the swap 1st

 

[d3Mi7|2iX]

borrowed a friends digi cam cause mine was stolen. i might do the swap first plus i was reading into D16 engines would be an easier swap while still gaining the VTEC and saving some cash.

 

[skribs89si]

dont get a body kit, nothin but trouble, get a lip kit, and go big bad b18, dont waste ur money, ull see, itll be worth it in the long run!!!

 

[Britty]

Easier means waste of money....VTEC doesnt make ur car super fast a SOHC EX engine isnt goin to make ur car anything to be affraid of dont buy anything less then a b16 or LS perferably would be GS-R or Type-R engines but please dont put ur car through a combat kit and then SOHC VTEC and put VTEC stickers on the car like ur prob thinkin about doing

 

[d3Mi7|2iX]

no no stickers but wats wrong with combat kit? any suggestions for lips? and even if i do lips i stll want side skirts and s**t so...

 

[codyj86]

did the dx come with a sunroof??? mine didn't and i want one!!!

 

[d3Mi7|2iX]

yeah i got a sunroof and no be glad u didnt get one cause the drain pipe becomes clogged and its a giant leak trap i have to put down new garbage bags every morning

 

[codyj86]

mkay. i'm ok with out having one now.

 

[d3Mi7|2iX]

im cleaning it out this sunday ill post up some more pics . though its not much to see as its a beater right now. as far as a B16 swap the A1 is the correct one for a 4th gen swap right?

 

[Eg_Project]

aiight.....first clean the rust...then maybe swap the motor...then maybe get a JDM front bumper or if you want a kit then go with the wings west rs kit.....then maybe get some new rims/tires....then a new paint job...

[h22a4civic]

[Civic89HB]

that thing needs a LOT of work...is the interior good? Motor good? get on that body ASAP lol..

 

[d3Mi7|2iX]

i startin to think about just using this as a A to B car till i can afford a nicer hatch i just have a feeling this car will turn out to be a money pit and i will just loose too much cash in tryin to repair it. also does anyone know where i can get a 4th gen owners manual?
