So I was getting killed at the gas pumps driving my POS van(15mpg) or my rx-7(20mpg) so I got rid of the van and bought a honda. Its a 91 civic hatch STD with pretty much no options at all. I'm actually suprised at how not painful this car is to drive....it is very very slow, but it seems to handle pretty decent for being a fwd 15y/o civic with crappy 165/70 tires and no sway bars.

Anywho, I want to swap over a few things to make the car a bit less crappy, and maybe make it my autox bitch along with my beater. Looking for a Si gauge cluster w/tach, 14/15 rims for better tires, rear sway bar, and a MPFI swap to start with. I'm trying to look at the classified section of this site(honda market place) to find some ****, but it says I'm a trial user and don't have permission to use the forums. I would try to search to figure out why I'm a trial user, but when I try I get "The search server is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later."

So yeah, I just decided to post and take this opportunity to introduce myself to the honda community.

Thanks

 

You are a trial user for so many weeks (forget how many exactly) and can only post 5 times every 24 hours. But you aren't a trial user .

 

Ah-ha! looks like I just needed 3 posts and that one did it? Oh well off to the for sale section to look for parts!

 

if it were me i would start with the wheels (15"), the rear sway bar, but next springs and shocks..... just my opinion.

 

suspension first

amen can make a slow car fun

 

any suggestions for good suspension and sway bar/ti bar companys that dont cost an arm and a leg?

 

Skunk2 makes some strut and tie bars. Progress technology and Eibach both make sway bars. I like Tein myself for springs.
