I just want to intoduce my little build-up and restoration project: My '87 Honda Civic Hatchback.

Originaly it's an EDM carbed 1.3 with 71hp - but things changed a bit since I bought it back in 2009.

- JDM cornerlights
- '84-'85 CRX Spoiler lip
- Si hubcaps
- OEM rear mud guards

- FOHA rear wing (OEM Access. in Germany)
- Hella 3rd brake light
- USDM tail lights
- keyless fuel door

Interior:

Engine:
- swapped to ZC1 "Browntop" (from '86-'87 EDM CRX; 1.6i 16V DOHC; 125hp)
- K&N air filter mat
- MSD 8,5mm ignition wires

Exhaust:

Awesome Car! I have the same model, except mine is an 84' I have the same carb engine... a few questions for ya...

How did you redo the wiring for converting carb to Fuel injection?

The picture you have that's second down form the second set of pictues with the spoiler, that's the 84'-85' crx spoiler?

Thanks for your time and i will be uploading a few pictures of my hatch when i get a chance.

GrafKröte

I used the full wiring from the donor car (a '86 CRX 1.6i 16V).

That isn't a CRX spoiler, it's an european Civic spoiler made by FoHa. It's pritty rare...

Mint! A well deserved swap for a clean little car!

So you completely trashed what ever harness was with the carbed engine and just used the whole harnes.. Hmm.. I might have to try that.. i am actually trying to throw in a D or B series motor in mine so i am trying to gather as much information as i can before i get started (trying to eliminate as many headaches as i can)

Thanks again!

Hi, I bought a 87 hatch at the end of last year. What can you tell me about the emblems? Mine aren't there. Are they actually printed on the inside of the glass?
Any idea on how to replace them? I was able to snag a old si badge online the other day and want to get the rest taken care of. I've searched online and cant find a thing.

It's came a long way, are you going to color match the bumpers like the Si?

GrafKröte

Yes, the bumpers will get the nice blue as well.
