Default New Honda owner

Hello all!

I just bought my first Honda for $400 lol, which is a 1995 Honda Civic Si 2dr Coupe

My other car is a 1992 Dodge Stealth R/T, which i drive ONLY in the summer.

Here are some pictures of it just as i brought it home.











It currently doesn't run because of a bad headgasket that wasn't taken care of. So as of now, I'm just going to swap that V-tec cylinder head on, new headgasket, change all the fluids in it, get her running so i can drive it.

Future plans, i plan on swapping in a b20a engine block with a b18c1 v-tec cylinder head.

I'm excited to be a member on the honda crew!

Mike

thanks!.. it won't be too hard. Just a lil clean up, and a couple of fixer-uppers.

I just hope the engine doesnt have a lower end knock.

haha, thanks!

since you mentioned the 3S... my timing belt jumped a tooth about 3 months after i got it. I got it running again, and it runs better than when i bought it!

They can be reliable if you treat them right, which i plan on doing from now on.
