What's up guys, I just thought i'd make a build thread to show you guys my project car which is currently my daily driver. After selling my first car (1990 EF Hatch), and crashing my second car (1986 Crx Si), I decided to go with a newer generation of civics which is my car the 1995 Civic CX Hatchback (lightest model). I still have passionate love for EF's though! Anywho, as far as this build goes, for now I'm just shooting for looks since it's my daily driver for the moment, so here's what we're dealing with.............................................. ...........

I WILL UPDATE THIS BUILD EVERY CHANCE I GET AS I DO DIFFERENT MODS










So far I put an old thule bike rack I had from years back on top for when I go to the parks to exercise I can put my bike on. I'm looking to upgrade to the newer yakima ones soon though.... Here's what it looks like

 

Nice pick. How much you paid for it? Hmmm...95 cx with 92-93 bumper, and dx fenders?

 

$2000, freezing cold a/c, d15b7 but runs strong. no grinds or anything. interior is mint.

*EDIT- bumper is oem, BUT the fenders yes they are replacements from a DX but im thinking of just keeping them on there, putting the little molding that covers the holes, and then just painting so it wont be too noticeable? what do you think....

 

nice car you got here. looks very clean except that rear bumper crack.

 

nice! id love to find a nice eg hatch to start a second build, i gotta put my j32a2 in something =]

 

That would look bad in my opinion. I would try to fill them in or get new fenders. Car looks pretty good though, nice bay and rust free body. Any plans?

 

How would I "fill them in"? Let me know...

 

Fog lights came in..... So I went ahead, took off the bumper, took a knife and cut open the holes. Screws and what not fit good for the most part, and started doing the wiring. Right before I finished up, it started raining hard out and so I was slowly driing like 2-4mph to a dry underground area and the harness got caught under a wheel and the WHOLE HARNESS BURNED! Thanks god my boy had an extra EK foglight wiring harness so we went to work with that one. The switch from my eg harness wasn't working for some reason, so I have the EK switch hanging just for temporary. And now after the 2nd day with the fogs, the little fuse container for the harness keeps blowing up every fuse I put in the fogs so there's a short somewhere in the fogs (sigh) means back to work again soon.. Here's a pic from the process:





Also picked up an eg coupe OEM lip from a junkyard for $5.. Nice!





Finally...........

 

Sweet, I would love a 92-95 Hatchback. In love with the way those things handle.

 

sohc ftw

 

Been paying a few visits to my local body shop.... Trying to get a hold of a new fender and new back bumper then shooting for paint.. I'll keep this updated

 

Fogs are working okay, I put hid's, followed by side markers..... Car is now in the shop, I'm waiting until friday/saturday to see what's up

 

Got it back from the shop today.. Pics will be up soon!!!

 

nice find. But that crack looks vicious. Nothing fiberglass can't fix though

 

Definately been busy lately... Will be on here on my day off with loads of updates and i mean LOADS.... Keep posted

Looks just like my 95 DX hatch.

Invest in a good security system.

 

So since I haven't been on for a while might as well just put it all in one big fat post.............................................. ..........ENJOY!




- I GOT MY PAINTJOB AND BODYWORK DONE!!!!!!
- The foglights are still on, only one works(been too lazy to see what's wrong)
- Sold my wheels for my swap
- Got a full ls swap done
- A/c is blowing colder than ever
- I'm on two back steelies, and 2 sport maxx rims up front
- Put side markers
- Green hid lights
- Put in the golf cart rear view mirror


Let me know what you guys think so far.... Any suggestions or ideas help at all is greatly appreciated!!

 

oh yea and i put the japanese lunch box under my back bumper which i replaced before getting it painted!!!

ALMOST FORGOT***** I got a hold of an OEM hood bra so yea check it out!

 

Here's a few rolling and group shots i took the other day with some friends in my crew and stuff...... ENJOY!!!

 

And for whoever said invest in an alarm system, that's the first thing i ever took care of. I have a Viper alarm system with 2way pager, 2mile radius, and autostart when on manual.

 

nice job so far

 

outside looks great - but you need to degrease the engine bay!

 

Clean hatch man. Nice progress I like that color green what is it?

 

like the color
hate the wakaba badge.
