The TURD - 1997 Civic Coupe build thread(slow)
A little background I've been tinkering and playing with cars for a long time, I started getting into tuners in 2005 with a 93 civic coupe, then I went to Mitsubishi, Subaru, domestic and so on. Now I want to build a nice civic, it will be my daily.
I purchased a 1990 CRX HF with a B16A swap which was my daily, I put it up on the market being as I'm 6'5 and it is uncomfortable for me to daily. I wound up getting a trade offer for a 1997 Civic EX with 99-00 front swap and SI rear swap(or so I was told). Has the JDM D16 single cam in it. Runs great get 42mpg which is good enough for me at the moment. My over all plans is to rebuild the suspension, swap a k series in it, a set of Rotiform TMB wheels and redue the interior. For the time being I have a h22 swap lined up for a few hundred dollars, only has 28k on rebuild but has been sitting at my friends shop for about 3 years. Plan to get it, check all the internals and install while I build a k series for it. Well I'll keep from boring you and post up some pictures.

The pictures of the TURD are what I have on my phone at the moment I'm currently out to sea and will be back mid this month and can slowly start my progress. Enjoy.

The 99-00 rear swap would just be referring the tail-lights most likely (99-00 Civic SI coupe)
Looks decent, just new fogs, an OEM 99-00 front lip with a good wash and wax would bring it back to life! Digging the leather front seats too. Good luck!
