Default from hero to zero. my sohc pos ek

it has all 1.6 liters of fury. bought the car from my buddy's dad since it was just sitting in his driveway. got it dirt cheap and wanted a dd that was good on gas. car is way different then the pictures but i have to take some new snaps. engine and tranny were both shot so they had to come out. had some problems here and there but it runs great now. i'll try to update as much as possible!



interior looks minty in the pictures but took a while to actually be minty. looked like my friend's dog lived in the car. hair everywhere. ewwwwww


o yeah o yeah


the transplant. i keep it a lot cleaner now


bbs meshies i got fo free with a set of bottlecaps i bought. perfect for continental snow tires. i hit a lot of stuff still!





i hope to have half of the quality my wagon had. sad day when i sold it.


lastly my real project car. 79 el camino ss. 100% **** 100% badass. going to be off the road for a little since insurance is too high.

some updates for the civic. i went down to the poconos this weekend with the hopes of doing a full paint correction but was my bro's bitch and chauffeur because he did a half ironman and had to do a bunch of things yesterday. anyways, i am hopefully doing it in a few weeks and now i am starting to save up for a ebay turbo kit. i said to myself i wasn't going to do any engine mods but things change lol. i know they suck most of the time, but i've had luck with them on my friends' car. they need some tweaking here and there but overall aren't bad that bad! you can see all the major changes to the car so far below!

ebay grill ftl


lowered on ksports. i am going to go lower once i get another exhaust from ebay since they sent me the wrong one and this one hangs super low. $125 for a full catless headerback!




lugnuts, bottlecaps and ebay mudflaps. this thing is legit lol

I simply spent way too much money on it. It became unreliable and when it was finally running right I had to sell it. I learned my lesson of dumping a crazy amount into a dd. I don't drive much now since I work in the city so having it non working for a week or two doesn't matter much now. Almost all of the parts on this car if not all were from a junkyard, ebay or craigslist.

So instead of auto-x yesterday I started to tear apart my bro's 96 Jetta 2.0 and work on the Camino. My friend came over to help and after I cleaned the Jetta's interior he said he was going to buy it lol. Tranny is out, oil was changed, coolant flushed, headlight changed, interior cleaned. Overall success lol. He is going to finish it this week and hopefully give me some moolah. Also did some things to the Elky!
