Curious about how close the 84 Civic HB is to the 88 and newer. Have a chance to buy one cheap but wondering if its worth it. Will the 88 body kits work and is the car have the ability to be upgraded. I am familiar with the newer ones but not the older. Any help would be GREAT!

 

u really cant do anything to a 84 civic well im sure u can but it would all have to be custom

 

u could do a swap, although, you'd have to re-wire almost everything and probably have to hack up the engine bay, but u might be able to put a D15 into it
although with the stock engine, theres not a whole lot u can do,

it would be different though

 

I went b16 with mine. Hasport has kits but mine is custom. Do it be different

 

Exactly! Whatever you choose to do its not going to be easy. Since its so old and carbed its going to take a lot of time and maybe money if its hard to find all the Fi parts needed. Some companys do make bodykits for 84-87(very few) but with modification you can make 88-91 kits work ive seen it done. The plus of these cars are theyre so light. Good luck if you choose to get it.

 

IMHO, with a 84-87 carbed car, you might as well throw a turbo LS in it and run a standalone computer because the wiring is a nightmare to run a honda ECU with fuel injection...
