Hola everyone, new to the forum.

I just bought a 94 Civic EX with 127000 on the odometer. The engine is strong but the car does have some minor issues that need to be addressed. Basically, I'm looking for advice on whether I should upgrade parts are just restore to stock.

Here's what needs attention

Wheels: rolling on stock 14's - I'd like to upgrade, but I'm not finding any deals on new rims.
Tires: are craptacular 185/60-14's - These need to go and the budget definately likes the prices for tires in this range.
Suspension: blown - I have to do something about the front and rear suspension, just I have no idea where to begin.

just toss some 195's or 205's on those 14's for now and set money aside for a suspension. trust me yor car will thank you for it. do it right the first time or do it again

I've seen some suspension kits on Tirerack, but I don't know enough about it to make an informed decision.

Coolio, I will check that out. About the 195's... You think they'll fit on stock 14" wheels? I needs to check that out.

n00b moment #1 - D-series? Is that another name for generation?

graveltravel

d series is the engine type.
the singlecam slammer.
for instince, my 94 civic ex came with a d16z6, which is a d series engine.
a 99 si civic came with a b16, which is a b series engine.

Yeah, it clicked for me after I went here. I'm looking for the stock specs on the D16Z6 engine right now.
