She is far from done. still have some body work and paint etc.

but

what do yall think?

 

I think its a good start. What are your goals for this car?

 

Looks like a good start. What are your plans?

 

my plans are to have the body work and paint done by summer break so by mid May. im also saving the money i get from tips at work to buy a set of wheels. i have been debating between og old skool black wheels or just plain 5 spoke black or dark grey wheels. after exterior i will start interior. so new carpet and covering my panel less rear with black aluminium. and maybe make a custom rear wing and some other things. i dont have any plans for the engine....yet.

 

Nice I think old school wheels would look good on the ef I know someone who had old schools on his ef hatch slammed to the ground it looked dope.Im 17 also lol.

 

ya i think the old skools would look better. ill just have to save an extra $200.

 

Im building a car just like that with a jdm d15b vtec, Your car is coming out pretty good and how does that exhaust sound. I have one like it but not that one.

 

black hx wheels would look dope if your looking for a cheep option

 

went through a covered bridge on my way to a church meeting and decided to stop real quick and snap some picks. i do want to go back and get some better shots

 

a long awaited update. a lot of things of changed. including my plans for this little civic. 1. paint and body work most likely wont happen. 2. i might just keep the steel wheel look. okay so here what happened

then the d15b2 blew a piston ring so i bought this

93 del sol with a d15b7 with rebuilt head new clutch and resurfaced flywheel. pulled the engine out and prepared it to go into civic. i drove the car around for over a month on only three cylinders i got great mpg .... not

had planned to do the swap in two days but it ended up taking a week. i was so happy to finally have the engine in and running


took her for a wash after being in the shop for a week



i loved her after that



my car was even kitten approved




lifted vs lowered







the car looks very different now since i havent owned it....and it is no longer running. he drove it through a puddle and fried the ecu. so i have a new used ecu and ill be picking up the car saturday for $900 which is what i bought it for stock. more updates coming next week

 

Absolutely love this car, bro .. Don't change a thing, it looks amazing !! How long did it take you to do the crx dash conversion ?

 

thanks but it has a changed a bit since i have owned it. i did the dash in a about a day

 

this is how it will look when i pick it up on saturday

 

I like the car, but that sticker-bombed fender just has to go.


Keep up the good work!

 

all the sticker bomb crap will be the first to go then the purple pinstripe will be replaced with red again

 

What kinda plans do you have for it for the future?


Besides those details you just mentioned of course...


Any plans to chase more power?

 

the plan is to go for a ratty/clean look. i plan on doing mirror deletes and fender mirrors, front camber kit to correct the camber. thats about all i have planned at the moment

 

the pics i got of the car before my dad picked it up






finally got her home

 

Cool stuff. I'm your tan DX twin here (although I'm an 89). Thing was a total POS when I got it and slowly have made it into a nice EF. My stock brown interior was hideous, full of cat hair and smelled terrible. Took me forever to find full black interior changeover stuff but I managed. Got new carpet and Integra seats in it these days. Recently installed factory cruise control from a sedan. CRX dash and converted to 90-91 cluster. Pretty much totally overhauled underneath and rebuilt engine and tranny only have 32k miles on them. New r12 AC system. I've put a lot of time and effort into it. New paint. Almost would have been easier to start with a nicer car from the get-go. Although I really enjoy it, it's my daily driver. EF's are dying off quick, I never see any on the streets anymore.






Here's how it used to look. So many panels were damaged that I just found good donors to swap on rather than doing a bunch of body filler. I don't have any pics of the original interior but it was DISGUSTING. Almost wish I'd taken some pics back then of it.

 

awesome man. it looks great.
