So... just picked up my first honda yesterday.... and I am the worlds biggest honda newbie.
I'm pretty familiar with cars in general, and have been working on imports for a while(mitsu and nissan mainly).
so, the car is a 95 civic hatch. D16b8? Or D15b8? Ill have to check again. Ill post up picultures tonight but it it a stock motor, runs good. I need to wire up headlights, put in a new hatch lid, and almost the entire interior is gone.
Like I said. Ill post up pics later. Ill be doing tons of reading on here but can't wait to get this car back to glory
I already have a go fast car, so the plan for this one is to just make it pretty, maybe lower it, and have a nice comfy fun dd/scca car.

 

Post your pictures and I'll move your thread to the Appearance/Cosmetic forum as you have posted a non-technical thread in a technical forum.

 

FAQs section has tons of useful information, welcome to honda.

 

Well, here is the car itself.





I guess the biggest question I have is are there parts that are interchangeable between the sedans and the hatchs?
There is a 92 4 door, and a 94 dx that both have good condition dashes at a local junkyard that I want to pull, but I can't find a hatch for the life of me.

RonJ - Sorry about that, I figured that this was an alright place for an intro because it was the specific subforum for my car. my bad.

 

project lol. try and get it back to stock as you can. no bodykit

 

No worries. You've added a tech question so I'll leave this thread here if it continues to focus on a technical questions.

 

cant wait to see it done tho

 

At first I was like this...
Then I banged my head on my desk. closed my laptop, and left my room....

But good luck with the build.
Complete OEM conversion would be a start....

Good Day.

yea what he means. gunna be a lot of work
look for a clean shell might be cheaper to just swap motors

 

As of right now the plan is replace dash, replace hatch lid, stock bumpers, paint interior, paint exterior, wheels, small drop.
Like I said, i already have a go fast car, and that is not at all what i want this to be. I also have a great DD, so I mostly just picked this up because I wanted a Honda hatch, and wanted something that I could essentially pick up from rock bottom.
Who knows, with that rear bumper though and hood I might just be the new "rice king" in my town.

 

jesus h christ thats a mess lol. hope you didn't pay more than $500 for that lol

 

HOLY FUGLY. HATCH. good luck with it I think the dash your talking about will not bolt right up directly.correctly

 

5 thumbs up to you if you actually stick it out and achieve your goals. I personally would like to see this car be brought back to its original condition; it would really go to show what is cappable if you put your mind to something.

 

Good Luck Bro

 

You picked up the hatch, eh?
Damn, you're strong!
*shot*
Good luck!

 

Agreed haha. But at least it's mostly stripped down already. You could definitely have a sick dd if you stick with it.

 

holly ****!!!

I've seen projects cars before, but this things take first price.

Are you going to save it?

 

got yourself a nice project there... keep it updated

 

is all i have to say

 

Well, started today.
Found another local hatch I think that I can source some parts from for pretty cheap.

 

holy **** batman...If it was me I would buy a roller off some kid who blew his up and doesnt have the money or know how to fix it and swap the drivetrain and U-Pull the rest

 

what the...?

I like the rising sun on the top keep it!

Hey i know! Get a 500 $ viper alarm system for it!

 

Whatever you do..keep that Neon element sticker on the back of your Hon-Duhh haha.

 

Keep the discussion on topic.

 

Wow,
