oka there this guy have a 1993 honda civic coupe dx 5spd and only mod he did was air intake coil overs and muffler and he wants to trade for my 1990 honda civic si which is basically stock but only mod was a catback system. now i wanna know pros and cons abt the 1993 honda civic and should i go for it ?

4DRmafia

oh yeah damn i forgot i installed rear disc on my car

handa

having both cars at good looking condition, i'd take a 93 civic over 90 civic anytime...it's just me.

advantages of 93 civic over 90 civic si:

-obd1
-looks better
-more parts (aerodynamics and performance)

can't think of any disadvantages

4DRmafia

so should i go for it then wait until if he discide on it ?

dunkd

i would keep Si EF... rare to find a clean one these days...

4DRmafia

yea i know but i want something newer like this deal for an 93 and i heard hasport have k20 swap kit for it is that true ?

4DRmafia

some question on the 93 dx motor.. is 93 has a 1.5 vtec or 1.6 and does that motor feels quick for it stock motor and tranny ?

handa

hmm i'm guessing it has a d15b7...i may be wrong. i'd go check the block and see what motor is in it.

4DRmafia

is that motor pretty quick for a while untili get a swap next summer

spyderracing

lol no d15b7 is the anti-quick

d15b7? d15b7 does not have vtec...but i'd recommend doing a Mini-Me swap: https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=554053 while you are at it. or wait for swap.

i am paintin on paintin the car nice dark green look with myabe black or bronze rota rims then a swap after that

I would say go with the newer if he has maintenence records and it has been taken care of very well. Why would he want to trade anyway?

ps: you like my sig?

4DRmafia

oh boy here we go abt the sig ....well he took care of it and only have abt 120,000 on it ...

i'd def take the 93 coupe. i have a 93 coupe that i'm selling bc i got an eg hatch and did a swap. the possibilities are endless bc of obd1, much easier to do a swap and make it go. the '93 dx stock engine is slow, rated at 103hp at the crank, new. just buy a ls b18b motor or a gsr b18c1 and get a swap done for a couple $2-5 grand depending on motor and labor rates. much faster than the 90 si with that mod and much easier to make faster.

luck with the trade

4DRmafia

alright well i guess i gonan go for it and umm can i do a d16a6 head on the d15 block ? and wish me luck he suppose to let me know by saturday

just buy a b-series motor/trans/axle/ecu, you'll be much happier. its not that expensive. obd1 b18b goes right in w/o any hastles or wiring problems. If you have the motor mounts from the 93 civic and the 92-5 integra you don't even need to buy aftermarket mounts (i ended up buying one, because one was damaged).

seems to me like something funny goin on. why would someone want to trade a car worth alot more than yours?? he could just sell his and buy the same car you got and have lots of money on top of things for mods and what not. i guess if you wanan swap right away go for it. cause the only thing i could think of. is that the engine is about to go in his coupe. and thats why he wants to trade.


i would just be careful and have it checked out thouroughly, thats all.

If you do trade, you may want to look into putting the EF Civic/CRX Si cam in the D15B7 if you can't afford to swap for awhile, it will be some much needed, and cheap hp.

1 thing sucks abt it is that it has a aftermarket sunroof on it and if i trade it i think i gonna weld in a sheet metal in there

93 coupe

Pandahatch

If you're car is is good shape, i.e. no rust, good interior, I'd keep the hatch and do an OBD1 conversion. Hard to find a nice EF these days.

4DRmafia

well the deal is off bec i went to look at it today and the car is way tooo ricey and had euros on it has body kit i mean it ugly with orange paint

pane93civhb

i would go for it anyways even if the motor blows u can get another for like 600 bills the eg is the easiest car to work on. most of everything for it. i have 2 of them a coupe and a hatch.. and i love them both.
