Default Allow Me to Intruduce Myself

Hello everyone!

I'm new to this site, but not necessarily new to Civics. I bought my first Si back in '92 and drove/modified/autocrossed/drovemore/thengotrearendedandtotalled/sold in 2002.

Man, did I love that car. It was red, so red it made my boss' red Corvette look like it was actually pink when it was parked next to mine. It was so cool because it was an inexpensive car, it ran awesome, it was uber-relaible and being 6' 6" didn't make my head drag the roof of the car like a 9 foot Christmas tree in a 8 foot tall room. Then came the day that lady driving that explorer didn't think paying attention was part of driving. I was heartbroken. I drove it for months with the back caved-in till the smell of exhaust was too much for me to bear. I put a for sale sign up on it and sold it to some kid three days later.

Fast forward 4 years.

I've been looking on eBay and virtually every other online resource for another 1992-1995 Civic Si since the time I sold my car. All it ever seemed like I would find would be riced-out, B18a-nitrous-turbo'd-paintedinterior-and-bitchin-pepto-neon. Now before I get flamed, if that is what you like then that's cool...it's just not what I'm going to buy. I wanted an unmolested car and I didn't want to pay out the yang for one. Well yesterday I finally found one. I found and bought a black 1994 Si with 104,000 miles on the clock. BONE STOCK. The paint is faded and oxidized on the roof, but that's nothing a body guy wouldn't do for a $100 and a case of beer. I look forward to posting and working with you guys as I molest my newly acquired black '94 Si.

I'll put some pics up soon so you guys can have a look at my new project as it progresses.

Thanks,

Gary

Thats some story!

I'm going through a similar deal looking for a Del Sol. I've wanted one since I saw it for the first time at a car show in Santo Domingo. It was a green JDM unit (with the power top!!) when I was nine or ten. Like you, the one I buy has to be BONE stock. I will not buy a modded car.

WELCOME!

you wont get any flaming from that, you'll fit in just fine.

just be sure to read the rules and guidelines at the top of this forum, and you'll do just fine. look forward to seeing your progress, and congrats on the find.

I know your pain, had a mint 1990 lude SI with the 4WS !! and some dumbshit Tboned me, I drove that care for a month with tears in my eyes, then I sold it. Bought my lil bone stock EG6 VX for 2500...
I went to the movies once, and saw my old Lude I still had a key to it at my house. it was still all fucked, but I wanted to just drive it round the block and park it like 5 spaces away, just to expletive with him.

For dead Hondas

Just got a teal EG Si myself. It's modded a little already, and the guys on here have helped me fix all the crap the previous owner screwed up. Welcome! You won't be sorry you registered.
