I picked up this piece for $500 on Friday to use it as a daily driver and beater, driving my hatch everyday got old. Its a 1990 Civic Wagon(not wagovan) with a dual point motor. It has a horrible misfire and i figured out why today. Cylinder number 2 had absolutely 0 compression. Also would like to have a new exhaust made for it, the one on there now is leaking a bunch and hangs real low. I have 4 Del Sol SI wheels from a friend to put on it tomorrow. The ones on there now are 13's with cheap tires. The Del Sol wheels are 14's with fresh Dunlops. Pictures....

yep, its the bottom of the line, no ac or ps. I'm gonna eventually put probably a d16z6 in it and leave it at that. I can only park one car in the garage and thats my hatch, I don't want to do anything to this one to make it a target for thieves

not bad man, i just bought a 90 4dr lx recently as a beater, so i don't run the milage up on teh FA5, but so far i have done a complete tune-up, replaced almost every gasket on the head, fixed the blower motor, and getting a oem EX muffler today, however i need a hood, rad support, and upper bumper trim, though the car isn't damaged enough to not drive it, just changed the exhaust mani gasket last sunday since it was leaking, now drive 100% better.

trust me give it a complete and very anal check over for anything, cause iwth our older cars the smallest thing will effect drivability, mines getting better everytime i work on it, and the great thing is that we can we upwards of 40mpg, which is alot better then the cars we love to drive more (our project cars).

i have some 14" Del sol SI wheels on it now, but the wheel gap is so big that it still looks ugly. I don't want to lower it though because the ride is pretty comfortable. I do like how they look when they're slammed though.
