It was 2004 and I had big plans of building an autocross car. After a bit of searching I had found the perfect candidate. It was a 1995 harvard blue DX hatchback just a couple hours away in NJ. After procuring my new baby I immediately ordered some Koni Yellows, GC coilovers, Enkei RPF1s, and a few other things. I had just stripped the interior out when my son decided it was time to be born.

Fast forward to 3 weeks ago. My son is now 4 years old and my poor Civic has been sitting neglected in a barn this entire time. My wife suggesting selling the car but I couldn't give up that easily.

Unfortunately, this is what I was greeted with upon opening the barn door.


I wasted no time in removing the front suspension to install my now 5 year old Koni/GC setup. While doing this I decided it was probably best to hunt down Integra spindles and rear trailing arms for my brake swap. It has been over a week now and I'm still searching.

Waiting for some Integra spindles.


In the mean time I'll leave you with a few more pictures to cringe over.

 

Better late than never...good luck
