Hi Guys, I'm new to the site and wanted to introduce myself aswell as start a build thread. My name George, I drive a 95 civic ex coupe D16z6 automatic. Please not make fun of the automatic part, their is a reason for it. I have a mild case of cerebral palsy, so I have about 50-75% use in my right side. I just learned how to drive Manual, and will being doing a motor and trans swap come Feb/March time frame. I look foward to geting to know everyone on here. I had my car since early 2005. Here is a picture of the car when I was 18.




The car looked like this for a few years then I got tired of the show look and primed the care white.



once I got the money together in NOV of 2011 I got the car painted Black with a Satin Finish and got my carbonfiber trunck and hoold recleared





after I got the car back from paint I got the nirtous kit I have on the car a few years ago re-installed along with the zex window switch. I also put a different valve cover on





after that as you can tell from other pictures my car was setting like a 4x4. So I went with a skunk2 suspension set up.





after I got the car lowered, I felt there was too much black on the car. Plus I've had them for 7 year so the paint was starting to look bad. So I got them re-done to match my lower control arms. I also put on armber corners and a new set of stock tail lights






Here is my mod list
Exterior
-VIS EVO style Carbon fiber hood( with removable rain guard)
-VIS OEM style carbon Fiber Truck.
-knock of Rota Rims, but hey they weigh about 11lbs
- Paint: Black with a Satin Finish

Interior
-apexi VFAC II and Turbo Timer. (came as a package deal so I went ahead and installed time both)

Motor
-D16z6
-Short Ram Intake
-Greddy Header
-Custom Exhaust
- Trans Cooler
-Zex 55 shot wet kit ( have jets for 75 shot)

future plans
Tans/motor swap

hope you guys like the progress on my car so far.

have not had a chance to make it to the track. I been working every Friday night. Thats when my local track has open track time. I will be swapping in a JDM B16A. Since I will be doing a Manual swap at the same time, that the motor that fits my budget. I will also being boosting it, shortly after the swap

i like it. just get rid of the hood for a reg carbon fiber hood and you are set. but nice job so far

SpikedInterest

You did a pretty good job returning that 2Fast2Furious civic back to a clean coupe. I'd trade or sell that hood for a carbon one like said above. Good choice on a B16a I have one myself that i'll be using. More updates!

Good looking car...now anyways lol. Is it difficult to drive stick w/ your condition? Dont feel like you have to do a manual trans conversion on the car to have a better motor. Can also do auto b16a...
Will definately be following this thread

Thanks everyone for the Comments

Driving a manual car is something I always wanted to do, since before I
could drive. I remember when I was growing up my Mom and Dad had a 1985
300ZX 2+2 with a 5 speed, I loved that car. That what started my interest
in cars in the first place. It was a little difficult for me to learn how
to drive manual, it took my 5 years off and on. People kept giving up on
me, but I still wanted to learn. about 9-10 months ago I had a griend who
had and old datsun truck and an 89 240 hatchback. He was able to learn in 2
days with him teaching me. he took about 3 miles away from his house the
first day to an empty parking lot, in the datsun truck. I started getting
good in the parking lot about the time we had to leave. So what does he do,
he makes me drive it home. The roads were pretty busy so I tried to talk
him out of making me drive. I was so nervous but I was able to make it home
and I didn't even stall. The next day he let me drive is 240, agian, I had
not problem. His 240 had a short throw shifter in it, it was a lot easier
for me to shift. After he thaought me how to drive another friend of mine
who has a B16A swapped CRX let me drive it. Man I loved it, I was hooked.
Now I just need my own manual car so I can drive one everyday and get even
better.

Haha good story. Friend seems cool.

I learned how to drive stick the sameway somewhat. Just baught a Eagle Talon and boss told me to be there in 15 minutes lol.

I thought the show car looked not bad.

Like the story and love the car and how its been changed drasrically. But i do like it either way i would personally rock the first style for a while but yea i dont really drive stick and the other day i got lissed n took my dads stick to the stprw to get antifreeze and yea it doesnt stall so after trying maybe 3-4 times i deive it like normal just the damn truck has like a governer that doesnt let the truck excellerate fast... It used to be a government post vehicle

Hey Guys sorry for no update in a few days but I have been sick and dealing with motor issues. The first motor that was sent to me was blown. after going back and forth with the importer, the good news is my motor is suppose to be here today. Ill keep everyone posted. Thanks for all the comments everyone.

HondaGuy8

ok new motor got here today. Upon Visaul inspection everthing looks great, the motor looks real clean. have not got a comp test and leak down test done yet but should be able to tommrrow. heres some pics

apexi_rsx

cant do a compression check unless u can power the starter to crank it over fast enough to make compression. you can not do this by hand. a leak down test is about all you can do.
