hey everyone!
ok so im new to this site.
but anyway.
i have a 95 honda civic DX.
BONE STOCK!

i got it for free from my grandpa and it had a blown head gasket and a blown battery fuse.
well just this past weekend i replaced all of the gaskets in the engine and replaced the blown fuse.
now the civic runs.
so now my journey begins with this car.
i will post pics as soon as possible.

my question is.. where should i start on the modding process??

 

save for a b18c

 

b18c no use in modding d series if you're looking for real power. just dd the **** out of it and save the gas monies.

 

yeah.
see i want the b18c.
ive been looking into that.
i am saving money for it at the moment
any ideas on what i can do thats not engine-wise?

seriously, dont do anything to it until after this hurricane season. this season those hurricanes might finish off what it started. just save your money and see how the levees are holdin up.

 

here are the pics that i took when i first got it.
it is a little more cleaned up now.
im buffing it out sometime this week and taking new pics.
but here were are..

 

oh.
and i see that people are already trying to hate on me.
im not as much of a noob as you may think.
i know alot about cars.
just wanted to see what others thought about my project.
but you are already trying to bash me.
whatever dude.
think what you want, say what you want.

 

i say convert it to manual, or sell it and get a manual

well see.
i want to leave it auto.
just to prove to everyone that an automatic can be fast and win races too.

 

Somebody should find the person who put the wood trim in that car and tell him to kill himself. I'm sorry, its just the worst thing I have ever seen inside a Civic.

 

you can never go wrong with doing suspension work first.

Don't know if I did the quote correctly. Anyways, IMO, leaving it automatic will more than likely cost more to be fast and win races. My 94 civic 4 dr project started life as an automatic dx engine with 188,xxx from my uncle. The engine and tranny was swapped for a d16z6 engine, si tranny, and then boosted at 10 lbs. This route was more cost effective and yielded more power than a b series swap at the time. Also, when smog time comes, all you gotta do is pop the turbo off. What can I say, I love being the underdog.

 

well see.
everyone says.. "if you are going to race you need a manual"
i just want to prove them wrong.
i mean, yes it may cost more. but im not trying to build the car and get rid of it, ya kno?

 

Nah, a five speed is nice, but you'll do okay in an automatic. Honda auto trannies aren't very good, but for a D-series, who cares.

im not keeping the d-series for long.
im saving money at the moment and i want a b18c.
i would really like a GSR.. but b18c is fine until later in my journey.

 

yawn turbocharge d-series.b18c? better yet turbo charge that engine. HMT Dseries y0! haha. You can find HMT kits for around $500-800 on Honda-tech here. just look around. I'm not sure why these guys are bashing D's. They are pretty solid engines and are dimes a dozen.

You will prove yourself wrong. You will break any honda automatic transmission with a built engine.
