My civic (seriously)
Hey guys.
You guys always hear me talk about my civic, and how there has been alot of work done to it (there is if you were there).
It's not a looker, nor is it fast, but it's my EF and I'm proud.
The good:
CRX Dash/Si interior
Brand new Clarion speakers in the front, and maybe in the rear cause no one wants to buy the set I have for sale (weird people!)
SOHC ZC with Si tranny
VX rims (soon to be on)
Stock exhaust (yay for being quiet!)
Generic CAI (sounds pretty good)
The bad:
Rust, and lots of it
Alot of missing interior pieces
Busted exhaust, but you can see the new pieces in one picture
It's alot of colors
It leaks oil somewhere near the middle of the engine, I gave up on figuring it out for now
Here are the pics (be nice, it's going for paint soon enough, the guy I found is GOOD!!!!)
Make fun guys

Re: (Autoworks)
Ya I thought about that. It's either that or headgasket, but the guy I bought the engine from swears he just did it. I'm too lazy to figure it out. What seal would need replacing on the dizzy? I'll do it either way.

Take the dizzy off, wipe it dry, put a few rings of Honda bond on it and put it back on. It'll stop the leak (providing the ring on the dizzy is good. My old B16 would leak just a little from the dizzy, Hondabond always fixed it

Rust isn't all bad. It's kinda like natural weight savings. You could tell everybody, that you soaked those spots with mugen, speed hole salt solution to acheive the mad light weight JDM look. She is one crusty critter, but other than that looks good. I'm digging the CRX dash swap.

It does but I didn't think it was too bad concidering I bought the car for 500$, was automatic and 1.5L. I drove it for 5XXXXkms, then I did the swap to 5 speed and SOHC ZC myself. I clean up all under the hood and did the black interior swap. Concidering I paid 50$ for the interior, 100$ for the engine and everything else to make it work, 500$ for a car that has already gotten me about 5XXXXkms, I think it was a wise investment. Oh ya, I got nailed by a probe in the front end, cost me 250$ and about 8 hours of my own labor to straighten it up good enough to bolt almost everything back up.
I was a college student making no money now that I work she's getting ready for paint soon enough.

DAMN YOU! I would KILL to find an 4thgen for $500 that ran.
I actually did now that I think about it.......90 CRX DX w/230K, but now the guy won't return my calls.....and $250 is what he said he wanted for it.......so actually, since I never got it - DAMN YOU!
LOL

Re: My civic (ludesrv)
A! I gotta a little of that rust garbage in my eye. Scared the **** outta me. I hate rust. Wish a had a huge media-blaster to hose all that junk off myself. I'd love to kiss that **** good-bye. Worst was around the fuel tank. It had set in real bad around where the undercoating had missed. Had to do a full replacement as well as splice in some new hard line.Half-*** myself a tank strap bolt untill my new ones came in.Ugh! I hate rust! Still gotta go back under and get the rest. Then clean up some on the body. The body is little here an a little there. Cost $400. Runs real well.
