Default New to the scene

I just purchased a 1995 Civic Hatch --- B16A DOHC VTEC JDM engine and ys1 transmission with LSD. Act 6 puck clutch. Dc headers. Skunk2 cams with adjustable cam gears. Darton sleeved. Walboro fuel pump, upgraded injectors. Api head studs. Skunk 2 short shifter. Tokico coilovers. Skunk 2 rear lower tie bar . JDM fog lights. Twin halo projector headlights. Phhantom tach and shift light. I also have a 1993 Civic Coupe (For sale)

I am new to the tuner scene although I have owned quite a few hondas. I love their fuel economy and reliability.

I actually love those rims. I had to push the guy to throw them in on the deal. The car was built by a mechanic and import enthusiast. He built this one drove it a while and has had it in a storage unit for the last 8 months. He just has too many cars so I got a screaming deal at 3500 bucks.

Screaming deal to say the least! Nice ride. My hatch has a long way to go before I get to that point. Please post the images in an album here. It'll get a lot more views and hatch envy.

It came with the hello kitty oil cap haha. It was sleeved when it was rebuilt 25 000 miles ago. I am planning on running a turbo and replacing the rods and pistons. It's one thing less thing that I have to worry about doing.

So I have this job as a first year tech at Toyota and now a job running a street cleaner for nights and weekends. I am also doing welding contracts in partnership with a friend who ownes a welding shop hear in Edmonton. I see lots of hard work ahead of me but lots of MONEY! My car is definitely seeing a turbo this summer. Maybe some racing seats and a 2000 rms sound system. I was just at visions and was quoted 1500 hundred bucks for 2 10" alpine type r's (800rms a piece) and a 2000 watt mono amp installed.
