my beater

i think it's a DX, but i'm not sure.

from looking at the interior... i'd say it's the base, base model but the valve cover says 16 valve, so i don't think it has the 70 hp engine in it. that would be an 8 valve wouldn't it?

it's a 4 speed with no tach and vinyl seats.

anyways, i payed $1200 for it and it has 110K miles on it.

think it was worth it?

and i know it's ugly as sin...

 

sounds like a dx to me. my 89 dx had vinyl seats, no tach and a beige/brown interior, oh yeah and that horrible 4 speed. until i swapped in a b16, fun old time now.

 

Dx to me too. If the car runs good , then u got yourself a good deal.

 

what should i do about the interior?

the color makes me nauseated.

i was thinking about using that interior dye stuff to make it black...

i'm that desperate.

it runs really good though... the guy i bought it off of just put a new muffler on it, a new clutch and new front brakes.

 

dude thats an STD. see if it has an arm for a rear wiper. if not then its an std. which is the base model.

 

nope... no rear wiper.

so my car is a sexually transmitted disease?

 

yea he is right...STD the base of the base models for a hatch I LOVE THE HATCHES.....for on the floor just a base as they came good car though looks very clean though...What are your plans for it? good luck and good buy

 

Stay away from this guy, he's got a nasty STD

 

i was gonna keep it stock and just drive it... but that's impossible for me to do.
i'll most likely lower it and i might look for an LS engine to swap in.

i'm gonna try to put all my money towards my B18C powered '92 Si.

'89 Civic hatchabck STD --- i think i'll nickname it herpes.

 

thats a 88-89 Civic STD model....
its a 70 hp 16 valve DPFI engine
has a 4 speed tranny, vinyl seats, and its the most simple model...
perfect for a beater
also the most light of the Civic HB models.....
great for swap once u do MPFI

 

thats a 89 STD hatch, my bro has the same one, but it's not like that anymore, muhhahahaha

 

i'm looking forward to racing my buddies festiva...

it's going to be one of the slowest race's in the history of dragracing.

j/k

as long as it's reliable and gets good gas mileage, i'll be happy.

Ghonorrea or syphyllis sounds more intimidating. Or what about chlamydia
