Default Finally got my hands on a civic

After weeks of looking for a 92-95 hatch I finally found one. The car is a Metallic Gray 1994 Honda Civic Hatchback Dx 5 speed. With 130,959 miles on the odometer. The car is a clean title but needs work on the left side of the car. The owner said that the car was kicked but it looks much worse than that. Here are some photos from the past owners car ad. http://photos.yahoo.com/egjoe2000 .

On the hybrid side of my car, the block is currently being built by importbuilders and I am also looking for a head and tranny to go with it. I should hopefully have my baby running in a couple weeks.

Does anyone know what the weight of my car was from the factory?

Very nice platform to start off with . It looks pretty clean, and I like the color a lot.

I was looking at that car, too. I'm in the market for a Metallic Grey EG, but i'm thinking about going for an EK now, to be different. IMO the car wasn't worth the money he was asking with the damage it had. Good luck with the project, though, and hope to see you on the road someday.

Yeah it was alot of money since it had no motor and the side was damaged but I was really only looking for the clean title since I already have a motor swap on the way. I think it was a pretty good deal since all the other EG's I see for sale around me go for around $4000-$5000 with clean titles and clean car. It would be nice to see other h-t members on the road but unfortunately for you I live on the west coast.

Nics!!!

I have same car. Mine is a grey CX upgraded to TypeR. I swapped the interior to black interior and will be painting it black one day.

Nice to know that I have another twin out there.

Enjoy,
Jayson S.

I also got the GSR rear brakes and Type R control arms. I still need to buy a Type R master cylinder though.
