I've decided to start making a sort of "Diary" if you would call it. I'm doing this to help out anyone with a similar car. Also, so show some faith that the OLD school cars are not forgotten..

My 84 Civic started off about a year ago. I got the car from a dealership where the previous owner snapped the cam in the stock 1.3L carb'd motor. He just let it sit there for about a month. I had a buddy that worked at this dealership tell me about the civic, it was abandoned there and i decided to scoop it up..

I got the car with only a dash, and two seats in it. the car had just been repainted white, from the steel blue color. The car only has 143k miles on it!!

Here's what it looks like when i picked it up..



I couldn't do much to it for the past 10 months, but i finally got a decent job and took some time off school to find myslef. since August I've been working on it about once a week, or whenever i have time. The process has been super slow. I managed to find a D16A1 at a friend of mines shop (www.tigerracing.org) that had been there for a while. he said it was a good engine but it turns out the crank was bent I also manged to pick up some Clear H4 conversion headlights so i can run some HID's in the future..

Here's some up to date pics of the car as it sits...



the wheels are from a 86 Isuzu Impulse. Right now the car is completly stipped and I'm in the process of re-wiring the car OBD-1. I'm also gonna re-paint all the interior and under bonnett black. That blue is so hedious.

So stay tuned Honda-tech! lots more in store for my 84.. (turbo'd built D16)

Looks really clean for such an old car, and a good project, but dont drop an H4 HID 'kit' in there, it'll be awful
