I bought this today from a guy on here in West VA for $1,000. It's a 90 EX that needs some TLC. The AC/PS/CC have been removed which sucks. I got the cruise control to put back on it. I don't care about the power steering but I want AC in a daily so I'm going to attempt to find it at a junk yard or for sale somewhere and put it back on. All power goodies work but the back windows are off track. The distributer is going bad fast and it's smoking like a champ. It made the three hour trip home but barely. My goal with it is to build a reliable clean daily. Here is what's already done to it

ENGINE
d16a6 block
d16y7 head - 43k
89 si tranny
centerforce dual friction clutch
intake
header
ps9 ecu running manual
Interior
Integra center console swap
2000 crv cluster - yes it works minus vss
converted to gray front seats and black dash and door panels
pioneer speakers all the way around
short shifter and type r **** (gay ****)
Exterior
generic coilvers
jdm corners
eg jdm side markers
painter tail lights
9006 hyperwhites
DA front lip

Here are the pix:
















I'll post up pix and updates as they happen. Let me know what you think!

 

Damn i wanted that car but im veryyyy far away.I really like the color combined with the teg lip and amber corners.

 

I remember the original owner here, he posted pics of when he first got that lip.. I think.. anyways, good buy and that thing is sexy clean

 

not a bad find

 

That's the car you were telling me about! Cool! Drive it out to the meet on Sunday! I'll be there at like 8:00.

 

what do you mean by it made it home but barely?

your sedan is ******* niiiiiice i wish i saw more of them around

 

Thanks for all of the comments! My first order of business is to get it mechanically sound. The car didn't like the mountains to much at all and then about 20 mins from the house it started sputtering and loosing power through the entire rpm band. I haven't taken the motor above 4,500. I'm not complaining at all, for the money this was a great find. Hopefully it's just the dizzy going bad because I have one at home ready to go on.

 

bump for some progress tonight!

 

Cool EX... I miss mine every day.

Looking for a set of JDM taillights? Maybe a rear disc swap? Various interior pieces? I have so much sedan stuff lying around it's silly.

 

well right now i'm broke, but i'll keep that in mind

 

looks like you bought someones unfinished project..taking out the ac/cc/and ps ,idiot,,thats the whole point of having that car.. and the carpet to?? i guess he was trying to do a color change...make sure to check out all the suspension make sure it was put back on right...cause some of these guys that do dont have a clue what they're doing,,like my car had loose bolts,cotter pins missing,etc..

good luck with it though..

 

yeah I don't know why he took off that stuff. it'll all get put back on eventually. I'm going over every bolt and screw in this car. He only had four on the header, one in the distributor, most of the lugs were loose and the driver side ground was loose!! The tranny is making a chattering sound and the motor is still lagging after bolting everything back up. ergh

I need a dizzy!!

still not complaining for the money spent, just can't wait till i have more to put into making it better

Can't wait. You just keep reminding me to get off my *** and fix things.

 

we'll keep eachother in check, lol

 

found out why the tranny was sounding funny. no speed sensor = hole = low/no tranny fluid. luckily i had my old sensor in the d15b2 auto tranny. just stuck it in there and bolted the flange down to keep it snug, put some fluid in it and it runs much smoother.

what could cause a jumpy idol? i put in a known good map sensor. timing?

1st thing: Check for vacuum leaks.

Then: FITV, IAT, and the Idle Screw on the throttle body.

That's just what I could think of.

well first off i am that idiot.. i do what i want with my cars.. if someone didn't like the car they would not have showed interest in it, or buy it even..

anyway i am glad the car went to a good home.. jon is a good guy.

 

I have a 91 Civic LX 4-door sedan, the problem is the seat belt buzzer keeps going off and never shuts off. The only way that I have found to stop the insane beeping is to leave the door ajar and lock it. PLEASE, someone help stop the insanity......thank-you.

 

12.4 on pump gas

 

And I'm in Richmond, too. Come by and see what I have.

 

Correct me if I am wrong but why do you have a automatic cluster and your car is manuel??
