Hello I'm from Canada Ontario, I started this build about a year ago, given this is my first car and first-car-build given I'm turning 17 in November.
Here is a brief history of where this all came from, I started thread back in July of 2012 on the Honda-tech forum, but due to it's poor reputation I decided to give this one a shot due to it being more specified to my vehicle.
Now here is the car; a 1993 Honda Civic Si 5 Speed with a D16Z6 purchased from an elderly lady who was the original owner from the day it roller off the dealer ship, which was key for me. This means she had Honda complete all the work needed on the car which is
in my books. My parents paid 800.00 for it power sunroof, adjusting mirrors, and all that good ish. However it had 449'000km on the body and was completely rotted out however this was my birthday present for my parents so I was stoked. Which is why this is a restoration thread. So here she is;
Now the only reason I want to do so much body work to this car is because in Canada these cars are becoming MIA due to rust, and accidents. And it's an Si so how can you go wrong?
And then I eventually wanted to do a motor swap, so my dad had a friend who crashed his riced out civic that had exactly what I wanted plus some other goodies.
1992 Honda CX came with the following goodies;
88-91 CRX SiR USDM B16A
94-01 GSR Transmission Rebuilt
New shiftlinakges
Short Shifter with momo knob
GSR dash (GARBAGGEEEE)
Lowering springs on OEM struts
DA rear disc conversion
Denji Glass Halojen headlights Angel eyes
New OEM bumper
New oem passenger fender
17" Voxx wheels
80% Falken Ziex 205/40/R17
Ebay short ram
New interstate battery
I'll post more below, I apologize if this is too large for a first post!
