New to Me - 1996 Civic DX Build Thread
Hey Honda World!!
Its been forever since I posted anything to the threads, since I did my 91 Civic hatch B16 swap I have not been to involved in Honda Land, I just drove the car to work (there was no real tracks around where I lived, and the scene pretty much didn't exist). Well I had to sell my 91
because I moved back to the east coast, been here a little over a week and now I have a new project. It is a 1996 Civic DX with quite a few apperence mods already in place.

Got what appears to be a CTR front end conversion, side skirts, and rear bumper, CTR wing, CTR carpet (needs a good cleaning), and some other stuff that Im to much in a hurry to type right now but will later. The car came with a JDM D15B non-vtec engine which I am not a fan of at all. It runs but Im just not happy with it. The exhaust is crap as well, the owner cut out the cat and straight piped it, and it sounds like a fart can. I think I paid a little to much for the car ($3k) but Im past that now. It does need some work as all Honda's do (window regulator, touch up paint, tires, cleaning etc) but all in all its not bad, Im going to raise the suspension some as well. Im not sure if Im a fan of the Type R decals yet, Im going to leave them on for now though. My plan is to swap a B16B into it in the near future. Ill update more when I have some time. Just wanted to get a build page started for now, and see if anyone had some opinions. Oh yeah a swap I am looking at has CTR mounts, axles, and shift linkage, if I got that would I be able to use those parts?
