whats up ht. well my goal now since i just became a new dad again is to have a nice looking car. this is my 95 HGM civic ex, i bought this offmy mom about 6 months ago for 2grand. my parent took good care of the car til the engine over heated,they took it to the shop and spent 1,100 to get it fixed and asked the "mechanic" if they should just rebuild the whole engine since it had 200,000 miles on it and he said no the bottom end will be fine. well wouldnt you know it a month later the bottom end started knocking, so they let it sit in there drive way for 3years before i could talk them in to selling me the car. so on with the pics.


here it is when i first got it home so its real dirty



My 1997 three spoke wheels, the only mod my step dad did


with a half a tank thanks mom the didnt run like **** or nothin


stock ar tape deck


interior is pretty mint



dirty *** engine bay (oh yeah by the way i live in the mojave dessert)


ahhh nice and clean




the new engine


dont let the vc fool you its a d16z6,and no i didnt weld the header and im not using it



new belt tensioner and water pump put on


all blue stuff was replaced, but still a pretty clean motor for free



had to get at least one thumbs up shot in


i was on a tight dead line so i didnt get any shots of the motor coming out or going in sorry, but my wife thought it would be nice to get a shot of me taking a break from cleaning the bay, let me remind you it 2 in the morning and im REALLY tired


and there she is sittin pretty


one of my moms neighbors kids broke my driver side mirror so i replace them with these spoon style mirrors




put in a cd player


i got tired of the vtec-e vc so i paint my stock one and put it back on



and my favorite shot of the vc


so there you have it, my future plans are to lower it replace the bushings new lca's and new wheels, thats as far as i have planned. also i just picked up a 93 civic ex for my wife so i will be putting up pics of that soon. thanks for letting me share

 

71 views no comments. also i will be updateing both cars on here, and a write up for the spoon style mirrors

 

Are you leaving it Auto?

 

clean drop the car and put some new rims and headlights!

 

wtf is wrong with his headlights?



And to the OP, How much do you want for your stock deck?

 

nice so far

 

aint nuttin wrong with them they just stock he should get some sir headligts and corners or just get the corners!

 

i would like to put some jdm city lights on it i just dont have the funds. the spoon style mirriors are off e-bay and only cost me $40. so this will be a slow process

 

unfortunatly yes it will stay auto only because of a car accident a few year ago, it is to painful to push in a clutch.

 

Keep us updated

 

well as of rightnow i dont havetimeto work on the car i have been workin crazy hours at work but i will update as soon as i can

 

sorry i meant have no time( i have fat fingers tonight)

 

well i have purchased and new crank pulley and set key from honda parts unlimited so it should be up and running soon. the green 93 blew the head gasket and so im in the prosses of getting that taken care of, and just priced some struts and spings through my brothers shop so the drop should be in store soon also, im going to try and get a write up in on how i mounted and wired the spoon style mirrors.

 

LOVE THAT COLOR!!! good job bro keep it up

 

me too, i have always loved this color, and there arent that many here in this color, i think maybe 1 or 2, anyway still waiting on my part and hopefully i can take pics tomorrow of the green one, sorry i just been lazy on my days off when ever i get them

 

happy holidays everyone at ht

 

happy new year
