Wat up. I got a 84' Honda Civic, It's Currently at the Mechanics. Clutch Went Out. Im Hoping to Fix Up Dis Civic To Make it a Sweet *** Lookin Tuner. I refuse to buy a new car, This is My first Car and I wanna Make it Look Hot before I buy a New Civic. Hopefuly I can Put an H22a Engine into it. from Wat My father In law says, its a badd *** Engine, and It'll get my lil hatchBack Racin Mo Fo's. I need People Who are Experienced in Hondas and Know Hondas Like the Back of their Hands's Help. I wanna Know and See Some pictures of some Body Kits or Wayz to Customize the Exterior of my Honda. i've only seen Maybe one Picture of a Pimped Out Honda same age but wit a tight Body Kit. are there custom Headlights, taillights, and Body kitz?

 

ummmmmmm.

 

+1

 

whaaaaat

 

Make that +2.

 

fk it, im buying a new car. i dont seem to get much replies.

 

So you bought a 84 civic and you want to rice it out? Sorry, but we arent ricers here.

 

Post pics or something, or some plans as to what you really want to do with the car. You'll probably get some better responses then. Saying you wanna tune it and race it isn't going to interest anybody. Details, details, details.

 

Welcome.

 

Wow...just wow...

 

If your getting a new car than you should probably sell the honda to someone that wont rape it. Classic hondas dont fit the whole body kit and wing scenero too well (not that many cars do).

 

well I hit up a web site a person from This Forum sent to me. and I seen a Nice Honda it could be an 84 or 85, since they have the same style body im not really sure. but I can post the Outcome of the Honda.



I think THis Civic 84' is tight, i wanna Find out wat kind of body kit is on it. and everything exterior. the color is pretty coo too... but im hoping to get my car a smokey black paint job.


Im Still gonna fix up my lil hatch back.

 

Ok so far my car is all stock. except maybe my speakers lol... it was a present from my sister, the interior is in ok shape, the roof is falling apart the material is breaking apart. the dash boad has hmm 4-5 minor holes in them lol... so the interior isnt that great, the exterior, well, it has a few rusted areas, lil rust not big of an area. inside the hood is ok, nothing major... when i got it, it had a bad fly wheel/and clutch but I got that fixed. well since I cant seem to get people to help me lol jk, but i will Post pictures and give more detail into what i wanna do. My father in law says an H22a engine would be great for my lil honda. and dont get me wrong i dont really wanna race my lil honda but if i choose to i wanna have dat HorsePower. like i said in my last post, my Paint Job will Most likely be Smokey Black glossed. Im not interested in putting no wing lol... that would look pretty gay, i might just add the wing dat most hatchbacks have or the stock wing of the honda hatchbacks. Im definetly putting an exaust system and Muffler into it, as to what exactly well im not very sure. Cold Air Intake, will definetly help... and I seriously wanna change Da Headlights, The Picture I posted previously of that fixed up honda, had tight *** Headlights that I will post on here... Thats pretty much it, If u have suggestions or questions pls DOnt be a Stranger.

Here is SOme Pics of my car.







And These Are the Headlights I Want, If u know what car they are from pls share the info wit me

 

I like your car better than that blue one you put in the picture. It's a clean little hatchback you have there. I think you'd be surprised how much better your car could look than that blue one you posted. If you just put some nice wheels on it, lowered it a bit, and got a nice paintjob and cleaned up some of the trim. Lowering it will eliminate the need for a huge body kit, and will improve your handling. That guy has no hope in ever lowering his car now, and it looks like a 4x4 the way it's set up. You don't want to do that.

Your interior bits falling apart can be fixed easily enough. Recovering the headliner is easy with some new fabric and some upholstery glue.

Those headlights look like they're from a 3 series BMW, but I don't think they really go with the car. I think if you found yourself some of the later-style, flush-mount lights you'd be a lot better off. There would be far less cost in fitting them, and they won't have fitment issues or cause you problems that some retrofit might cause.

 

I like the OP's car better than the blue one as well.

 

These are the later style headlights I was talking about:

 

^This dude speaks the truth x100. IMO when doing any modifications to a car, its best to keep the integrity of the car in mind. What i mean is that you should not build a chevy to look like a toyota. Same thing applies to hondas. Hondas should not be built to look like a space ship on crack. (which body kits have the tendacy of doing) As far as body kits go, they mostly provide an illusion of an agressive stance, w/o the benefits of an aggressive stance. What i would do is go with the obvious choice as far as the body goes. Get the aggressive stance with the added benefits by simply lowering the car. This can also be alot less expensive. price of lowering kit<price of body kit+proper fitting+paint ect. ect.
This however is just my oponion. Its best for you to build what you want rather than what honda tech wants. Granted if it looks dumb, honda tech will flame you, but those types of things happen. you happieness is more important to you rather than the happieness of honda tech. i now feel like im rambaling so i will stfu.

 

if the stuff i just posted makes 0 sense its probably cause ive been studying for finals for the past few hours, im a little out of my element.

i am confused about the EG? unless that's what he should do.. i'm confused if this original poster is being truthful or playing us?

 

I know the guy that owns, or owned (not sure if he sold it), the blue car. Have a pic of it on my cell phone that shows the aftermarket sunroof that was installed. While a lot of work was put into that car I personally think the work would have been better off put else where into the car. But, that is what the owner wanted and I guess he was happy with it. If you are wanting a wild body kit and such, sell the 84, get an 88 or newer and have a blast. For the cost of making one off body parts or finding one still available in good condition it would be cheaper to buy a newer body with kits still in production for it. If you really want the H22 I'd say get the 92-95 .

If you want a set of lights that look good and fit the car get the EDM headlights. They run H4 bulbs and are about 5 times better light output than those H6054s your car is currently running. Also, since you have an 84 you just need to get the EDM lights and install them (your header panel and plug for the H6054 work with the H4 housing and bulb). I would link you to an image of them, but H-T is being lame and blocking links to a really good site for the 84-87 Civics.

Also, to give the back a new look you can get the 86-87 Si tail light and center section. It has a red center section where yours is black. Again, I would link to an image but this site's management has insecurity issues.

I also agree than a tasteful set of wheels and a little lower stance make big difference with this body.

Also, you would be better off looking for an 86-89 Integra parts car to swap the D16 and other needed parts from instead of thinking about an H22.

Yeah a D16 with a little building would turn that light little DX chassis into a quick little machine. One advantage your car has is that it's light. You don't have to build a 200hp motor to enjoy the same speed that a Prelude might need an H22 to get. I bet you'd poop your pants with a D16A1 with some big carbs and a header on it. And that's not even a hard or expensive build.

 

Damn Thanks Alot guys, and For The Person Who Said I might not be seriouse and i might be Playin yal. well Na Im pretty Seriouse. I would thank everyone who Posted and Helped me but That would be a couple names lol... well aight, You guys just changed my mind. I Came to the Conclusion that I dont Need a Body Kit, and I have a different Over View that I Considered once before but i think i'll go through wit it.

Aight so an Update. atm The 84' is Still at the Mechanics. So As soon as it comes out, Im gonna be Working on the Car doing What I know to do and if i Dont know how to do something well... hmm... i dont know, i guess i'll google it or ask you guys. but the summer is coming so im gonna start my project.

do I Post my updates of my Project here or do I make a new thread somewhere else?

ok so far. I planned out what i'll be doing. I'll Be lowering My car. Not sure how low, I'll need some Help Desiding that, if u guys can give me a lil info on that, and if i should lower the front and back the same or different numbers?
The Total cost of that will be 100$ so not bad. Me and my father in law worked on Tinting the Windows. didnt turn out as well as I would have liked it(not shown in the Pictures I posted) so i might start over and try dat again.
I will be replacing the Interior. I heard it was easy and you guys said its easy so im gonna look into that. Im also looking into the parts that ControlNode and others have Suggested.

 

congrats on coming to your senses. Score one for the good guys for talking a dude out of a body kit. Good luck on the build, im sure h-t will be able to help you out on the majority of your questions. These dudes know their stuff and they hardly ever dissapoint. Now go take some more pics and make a build thread already!
