OK so i got this car back in march. Barely working.. all of this and more was wrong with it. some of you might remember it, just from the blue valve cover.


-tranny was blown
(had no 4th gear, eventually 3rd and second went out)
-throwing around 5 to 10 different codes.
-vtec didnt work..
-ecu was fried
-no radio
-Came on some hidious wheels.
-Both front wheel bearings were going out.
-was missing more than 3 wheel lug nut bolts.
-The wiring was a hack job.
-had no moldings
-axles were blown
-exhaust had holes in it
-the seat had incorrect seat rails and was never bolted down


So here she is now... All better!

tokico shocks
new vtec silinoid and gaskests
New pr3 stock ecu
ground controll coilovers

Im working on piecing together a turbo kit for her! hopfully that will be done by the end of the year.

there is probably more I've done, I just cant think of. So lets move on to the pictures!

sorry i dont have work in progress pictures. Just got a camera!

 

how much did you pay for it?

 

dude, fix your F'ing seat!

 

sweet

 

ditch the dinner plate tach and boy racer seat and she'll be on point.

 

Those wheels are 88 si wheels by the way the 91's are rounder and smoother with less holes.

Good job so far.

well you got the turbo what about the rest of the kit?

so i just got the turbo..

i've already had the
DSM injectors
Wastegate
FMIC.


soo i just need piping! and an oil tapp and ill be almost there!

 

Looks good so far. My car has a few of those problems but it's the stock d15 so I'm going to get a DOHC or SOHC ZC. My dash harness is a wreak, they guy put in an alarm system the incorrect way..

 

You are buying a turbo and other things....with a cockeyed driver seat?

Gangsta' lean FTW. I have a ghetto *** racing seat too. I'm thinking about lighting it on fire when I get home.

 

LOL @ the title thats what me and my friend call my car compared to his domestic. Looking good

 

yea the seat is horrible. but its not like i dont have money or something to fix it.

ITS JUST impossible to find a 89' civic si seat..
as most of you know..

 

Looks nice!

Just curious, do you plan to drag race the car? If so, you're going to lose a lot of gearing by putting in that LS 4th.

 

whats the si seat fabric called im thinkin of gettin mine reupholsterd??

All you need to do is find a seat pan and swap on any seat with the pan and rails.

Otherwise you could get some custom brackets for about $70 and put in a good knockoff seat for another $100 or so. I'd say you could get it looking okay for $200 pretty easy.
