Just picked this up today from a friend of mine.
Its not my first honda, and its not my first civic, but the first civic was a total Piece of junk, and i ended up taking it to the scrap yard, and my 2nd Honda was my accord which i still have, and which is for sale.

I paid $500 for this little gem.
-Fart-cannon exhaust
-Coil-over suspension (not sure what brand)
-7th gen EX 15" wheels
-No P/S (came from the factory like this)
-5 Speed
-Rest is completely stock....

Future Plans...
-Picking up a fender this week (pass side is beat to hell and back)
-Rolling the fenders next week
-Ditching the Fart Can, not sure what i'll go with yet, my buddy has some mufflers he said i can dig through and hes going to weld one on for me. He said he has a cherry bomb too, but in my experience those don't sound very good.
-Amber Corners
-Alignment (toe angles are off, causing bad tire wear)
-Energy Suspension Bushings (master set)
-New motor mounts, tie rod ends, etc...etc...
-Bilstein Shocks
-Ebay cold-air (might as well, they are cheap and that stock intake pipe is teeny-tiny)
-Some kind of motor swap, i haven't decided what yet, it all depends on what kind of a deals i can find, and this is very, very far off. Probably an LS swap, or a GSR Swap.

I'm not going all out with this thing, as its going to be my new Daily Driver. I have a 1987 BMW 325e, which is my baby. I'm a BMW fanatic, but i've always liked Hondas, and this thing was such a good deal i couldn't pass it up. Plus my Accord bit the dust on me a few weeks back.

Anyway, heres the pics..

Damn how ive tried looking for new civic fat fives... Sweet deal the fighting irish sticker should be a new trend

boxeocampeon

acake em1

I was gonna say the samething. Get rid of those stickers. I'd say once you get the interior cleaned up, get the body straight and a fresh paint job you will be good to go. Goodluck. Also, invest in security. No Civic owner should go without "proper" security.

Get a black interior

Vindicator9000

That's a very good deal. I've seen people pay more than that for non-running EJs.

needs a very good cleaning.. awesome deal i got my eg for 400 bux and its got over00,000 miles on it. My car also has soem sort honda corrosion spray from the factory

Matt93eg

That in itself would make the interior look a million times better. Blk interior FTW. I love my blk interior . Blk shines up so nice with armor all wipes to

boxeocampeon

theres actually a lot of DIY guides on how to remove the interior and repaint it. it can come out really good if you take your time and do it right. you should look into doing that

Great deal for that car. It definitely needs work, but for $500 I would've bought it too.

if your telling the truth! u got a really good deal.. ill give 700 u made 200 with out touching it lol

I want to swap them for something else. I've got some 17s on my accord that i plan on putting on it, but my buddy has some freshly powdercoated 16s that i might grab.

The sticker might become a new trend, but it won't be on my car, all those stickers are coming off.

Yeah, trust me, i plan too as soon as the weather clears up.

Reading isn't your strong point, is it?

I'm not too worried about it. In three years of owning my BMW, i've never once locked it. Never locked my Accord either. If someone is going to break into your car, or steal it even, no amount of alarms or locks is going to stop them. Locks just mean that when someone steals your stereo you get a broken window too! Lowjack is a good investment though. I had that on my second BMW (i've had five). Crime isn't a huge problem around here (i'm going to be eating my words for saying that)

Yeah, before i bought it i tried looking for a hatch (i really wanted a hatch, i always have). I was just looking for a shell, couldn't find anything in my price range. Best deal i found was 1000 for a shell that came with seats, dash, body panels, suspension. Paint was immaculate though.

One step ahead of you, i've been planning this. I was actually planning on doing it to my sh*t-brown interior accord.

Nah, i'll pass, but the funny thing is the guy at the gas station last night offered me 750 cash, right then and there. Passed on it too. I can't get a car this nice for under 1500, probably not even that much. Damn thing runs GREATTT.

17" wheels on a civic=YUCK in my opinion but that's just me. To each there own on that one.

Good move on the interior. I know a guy with a 5th gen civic and the interior is like a purple/burgundy color...talk about looking like ****..that's it. I hate that color..

eatsleephonda90

true^^^ biggest i'd get is 16'' but 15'' is the way to go

Matt93eg

I agree, I never go bigger than 15s

eatsleephonda90

@ OP
if i were you i would get some black vinyl&fabric paint and re-do the interior

ive never liked at ugly blue interior

thank god my ej2 came with all black interior

ubercerealkiller

well, i've already got the 17s, and i've seen 17s on civics millions of times over and they look fine to me.

Basically i'm planning on running the 17s as a daily thing, 15s for track wheels/tires (i'm going to autox this car), or I'm going to buy the 16s my buddy has and just run those fulltime.

ubercerealkiller

read the above posts, i've already said i'm doing that.. and its not ugly blue, its grey.
