Default my halfway done Civic.. at least it runs now!

Just thought that I'd throw up a few pictures of it since I finally finished the swap..
Its not even CLOSE to being done!









^ The missing passenger mirror really bugs me. Need to hit up Certifit for a new one.



^ Still no carpeting or anything yet. Plan on redoing the entire interior (seats, carpeting, door panels)




I know bling factor isn't very high, but keep in mind the car isn't even close to being done..

1994 Civic CX

Mods:
JDM B16A
Tein RA Coilovers
Suspension Techniques Swaybars
Fake Vision Corners
Sparco Flash 5 Steering Wheel
Sparco Shift **** (Is this really a mod? )
EX/SI gauge cluster w/ 7200 RPM tach

Thats it for mods. My stereo system is sitting in my room, JBL 600w amp, 2 JL 12w3 subwoofers, Sony m600 HU, Xplod 6.5s? i think?

Future mods:
15" Konig Heliums in bronze
Some kind of lip
All body damage fixed
Apexi WS exhaust (cheap muffler shop made one not pictured)
Del Sol Seats
JDM headlights
and probably a whole lot more.

Anyways, just wanted to share.
Its a work in progress

I really love the color of your car and the look...

I would throw some wheels on it and call it a day and be done

Thanks for all the comments!



Wheels and a passenger mirror are the next mod for sure!

Looks like a nice starting point, but there are a few things I would fix. Passenger side mirror (you already said you were getting one), Fix the valve cover (get the paint and **** off and put the spark plug wire cover back on), and loose the headlights (they look a bit out of place). These are just my opinions though. How do you like the swap? I used to have the same motor and loved it (don't listen to the people that bash on b16's).

Thanks,

I plan on getting a red Honda one, I tried many solvents/thinners and they won't get that marking stuff off. The plug wire cover is even worse than the valve cover so I just scrapped it until I can get a new one.

Also, the headlights I picked up from a friend for like 50 bucks? I think? Something pretty cheap. At the time I didn't know which direction I was heading with the car.. but I had already planned on taking them out. The light output is terrible..

I love the B16. No regrets here. I had 2 options - Really expensive and somewhat faster motor, with not so hot suspension, or go with a decently quick B16 and go all out on the suspension...

I chose suspension
Turning fast is more fun than going fast in a straight line!!



^sway bars and exhaust not pictured here



EDIT: The Impreza in the background is a 01 2.5RS Sedan. Only mods are exhaust and a wing from a 2.5RS coupe.

That car is actually up for sale. Hehehe. Too bad you aren't in the WA area!

30k miles and warranty til 100!
