:?



My name is Andy and this is my second EG forum. The first was ClubCivic, but I didn't feel like the members there wanted to put much into it.. so I came here.


I bought my 1993 Civic EG on September 2008. I use to drive a 1997 Mustang but couldn't afford the gas, so I went Honda. Anyway... the body work is really bad, the motor sucks, the rims suck... and I would not have it any other way.


I have always wanted a project car and this one is perfect. It has a D15B8 motor with about 100,XXX miles, a horrible makeshift intake, and a full exhaust from the headers back. The rims are 18" knockoffs; the tires don't hold air well. The Civic has coilovers which is about the only good thing.


The interior is not bad, it does need a few pieces here and there but nothing bad.


I hope to re-paint the car teal, red, or army green. And depending on the color of the car; I will go with bronze with polished lip, white, or black rims. I don't plan on doing much else for the hatch cosmetic wise.


I want to swap the SLOW D15B8 for either a B18B1 or B18C1. Once I do that I am going to cam it, full exhaust, intake, and possibly begin the build for a turbo set up!


I will keep every posted! Thanks..

#79434 Nice ride, what colour was it originally? First thing, ditch the rims. Looks like a truck on 18s.

#79561 The car was originally teal. The only way I could figure that out was be ripping out the interior.. dumbass primer :x . I plan on re-painting either teal or urban green.


About the rims, yeah, they will be gone ASAP! The car rides like awful. I am not sure what kind of rims these are, but I would like a set of the gold/bronze mesh with polished lip FTW!

#79744 Welcome to the board! I'm kinda a noob my self.

Looks like you have a decent project on your hands. I'd vote for 15's for wheels...In my opinion anything bigger looks way to big on a hatch.

GL with the car keep us updated!
