I finally picked up another project car. It's a 1994 Civic EX with 197k miles. The body is clean with zero rust. I bought my house last fall and had been looking for a project since then. This car will be mostly build for track (drag) duty, but will see some street time. I'm going to build an H2b turbo setup. Thanks for looking. Let the project begin!

 

Update in a few minutes....

 

Look likes a great base to start with. Good luck

 

End of day 1: removed the front bumper support, removed the AC, loosened the axle nuts, did some minor cleaning. Pictures of the progress.....

 

Thanks.

 

clean base dude good luck

 

Thanks. Next on the agenda is to pull the engine, install a manual steering rack, and spray down the engine bay with simple green. (I'm going to pull the engine this coming tuesday)

 

Clean base! Are you planning on keeping the single cam or going with a dohc to turbo?

 

Thanks. I'm going to go with a b16a2/60 trim.

 

wow. pretty damn clean. cant wait to see the final results

 

Thanks. The paint has oxidized considerably, but other than that, it's in great condition. I may repsray the car a slightly darker shade of red, but that would be waay down the road.

 

Look good and any tips on removing the A/c..

 

Get system discharged. Unplug the sensors connected to the AC fan/compressor. Unbolt the lines and remove them. Unbolt the compressor/condensor/reciever.

 

very nice. Have built 2 of the EXACT same car. I have loved every bit of them. Milano Pink for the win!!!

 

that car is f%#^$^ing MINTTT!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Thanks guys. I can't wait to pull the engine this tues/give the engine bay a good scrub down.

 

damn that thing looks to be in real good condition!

 

Thanks.

 

Will be o.k to release the a/c into the atmosphere. I heard it bad..

 

It's bad for the environment and is illegal to release it into the atmosphere lol.

 

Should i proceed so because I'm planning not to have the A/c because i barely get hot weather here. It know it bad for the atmosphere but i don't think it gonna damage the ozone layer that quickly. I got a civic 92 and it old..

 

That's really your call. You could just take your car to a shop and have them safely discharge the system. Then remove the AC yourself.

 

BUMP FOR A CLEAN PROJECT CAR

 

Thanks

 

Wow, I'm not used to seeing 5th gens in original condition. That is nice.
