I bought this 1990 civic si for $200 in july or august of 07
heres how it looked when i bought it, It had some ugly clear tail lights, battery relocation kit, and didn't have a hood, engine wire harness, gauge cluster, some interior trim, drivers side seat was ripped on the bolster and the seats didnt fit right i think they were out of a crx si, some of the trim was painted white and yellow but previous owner painted over that with black it looks alright but does need to be re done, the shifter/linkage was not connected, there is some rust/rot on quarter panels near wheel wells, no exhaust or cat, has a pace setter header, and came with crappy rims/tires.
CLICK THE PICS TO MAKE THEM BIGGER...

when i got it home i put on the hood, changed the tail lights, unmounted the battery relocation kit cause it was grounded in the wrong spot and i didnt like where it was, and put different rims/tires on.

here it is as it sits now

i bought the engine wire harness and the shift linkage hooked that up put new ngk plugs/used wires in and a oil change, re-mounted the battery relocation kit, put in a different injector resistor box, and put in a new TPS from a d16y7 and it started right up. i also had to put on a new gas door and popper. bought and hooked up the gauge cluster.

I put on the exhaust and the muffler tip sticks out a lil to much so im going to cut the high flow cat down a couple inches.


15" Acura El rims(center cap not on but i do have all of them)


News:
i took out the engine sold the mpfi swap.


im going to put in a d16z6 and convert to obd1 im getting the engine for $150 and im going to put on a d16y8 IM and LS throttle body.

i traced back the fan switch wires and cut them down and put on the obd1 plug for it. vtec, 02, and injector plugs added to the si harness then i put a plug on the other end of the vtec and 02 wires to make it look factory and be able to be disconnected easily.

Suggestion on your site.
For the supersize pics reduce the resolution
Things are TOO BIG and take too long to load.

finally got to mess around with this again
I installed the new balljoints, master cylinder, and 40/40 brake prop valve
started messing around with the rear disc install but a rear upper control arm bolt broke and a compensator arm bolt started spinning. so I bought both upper control arms and compensator arms used off ebay from cali they just came in today. also last week I ordered from the dealer a rear lower control arm bushing since someone snapped the bolt off and left it like that.
so hopefully this weekend or next weekend I can get to install them then get a alignment
