Vehicle Year/Make/Model:1992 Honda Civic VX hatchback
Miles: 175k chassis, 190k engine
Price: $2,500 obo
Title: clear and in hand
VIN: available upon request
Up for sale is my 1992 Honda Civic VX hatchback. I bought this car about 2 years ago as a rolling chassis with intentions of building it, but decided to build my other hatchback. I swapped the engine from my other hatch (92 CX) into this car and have been daily driving it for about a year and a half. The car the engine came from i've owned since 2004 and 140k miles and it was my dd before this one. The car runs great, no CEL's and gets 40-46 mpg consistently. It even has working A/C. Would make a good daily or project car. As some of you may know, the VX and CX were the lightest hatches (about 2090 lbs.) and in 92 all trim levels have VTEC pre-wired to the shock tower plugs. On to the good/bad.
The Good:
1. Paint job - has been repainted WRX white with a black roof (stock color is frost white)
2. JDM fenders with sidemarkers (not wired in)
3. JDM inner tail lights
4. Goldline springs - rides smooth
5. Generic rear lower tie bar
6. Working A/C!!!!
7. New timing belt and water pump last month.
8. New rear wheel bearings on both sides about 6 months ago.
9. Clean title
10. Alignment about 3 months ago
11. Tires have plenty of tread
12. 40-46 mpg, 70 hp of fury
13. CD/MP3 player
14. Upshift light for ultimate gas mileage!
15. Smooth transmission with no grinds
16. Spoon style side mirrors
The Bad:
1. Paint job - the previous owner had it done and I'll be the first to admit its not the greatest. Has some runs (maybe can sand down?), some overspray, and for some reason the trim is painted black with regular body paint (i know, wtf?!)
2. Missing carpet, rear speaker covers, and front foot well plastics. Has floor mats, though, so it doesn't look too bad.
3. Has some brake feedback above 40 mph. Had all rotors/drums turned and it came back a couple days later. Tie rods are fine, ball joints are fine, not quite sure what it is. Might be brake sliders or upper control arm bushings, still looking into it.
4. Inner brake/parking light doesn't work. This isn't a big deal since the outer ones work fine, but still kind of strange. Turn signals and reverse lights also work fine.
Tons of pictures below. Note that I took a pic of every flaw on the car. No surprises when you see the car in person. Excuse the dog hair. I vacuumed the **** out of the car and for some reason the fabric in the car won't let go of some of the hairs.
NO TRADES unless you got some of the following and want to put cash on top:
84.5 MM high compression forged pistons
valve train (supertech, crower, etc.)
B-series/EG mounts billet (Hasport, Avid, Innovative, etc., 3 post)
OBD-1 b series vtec dizzy
b-series/EG shift linkage and shifter
asr subframe brace
Function 7 lower control arms
black JDM ITR Recaros
