*Authentic & Restored* RHD 1992 Honda Civic EG6 SiR-S
So... after a few months of owning and restoring this thing I have decided to start the process of letting it go to someone that will enjoy it more than me. I'm getting married soon and want to consolidate my cars so I can order a new car this summer. It's going to be a long thread so I'll make this disclaimer now.
If you have an issue with my asking price or my methods please feel free to send me an email or private message. Please do not clutter up my thread.
I have built/bought/sold over a dozen high dollar Hondas over the last few years. I have personally built many magazine featured cars as well as assisted in the design and creation of many more. I have been a part of the Honda tuning community for over 12 years and consider myself a professional.
I am honest. I take pride in my work and the cars I build. I may consider things as flaws that most will not care about. I don't bullshit around so I expect the same from any interested buyer.
I do not want to trade. For anything. Unless of course you have a Lamborghini, and in that case you shouldn't trade for a Honda Civic. Please do not send me requests to trade, they will not be answered.
This car was not built with zip ties and electrical tape. Every modification was done correctly with the utmost care and quality. If it required a specific bolt or screw, I bought it. If the OE hardware was wrong or ugly, it was replaced. The car was built to be a great driver, be reliable, comfortable but most of all, quality.
The car is registered and comes with a Louisiana title, in my name. It was registered before me and has been bought and sold a few times in the USA since 2008. I do not know how it was done. Please do not ask.
The car is NOT my daily driver. I drive it once or twice out of the week if the weather is right. The car hasn't been driven in the rain since I finished it and it has been hand washed once.
Now that my disclaimer is out of the way, I appreciate your interested in this thread. For a full break down of the build of this car, you can visit here: http://forums.nwp4life.com/zerothread?id=44282
Car information
MY: 1992
Make: Honda
Model: Civic
Trim: SiR-S
Mileage: OEM Odometer reads about 252,xxx KM. (about 156k miles. The car has been driven about 2500km since the restoration, about 1500 miles. That means ALL OF THE PARTS LISTED AS NEW HAVE ABOUT 1500 MILES ON THEM)
Ext: Milano Red R-81
Int: Light gray / Black Tweed
Trans: 5spd manual
Engine: B16A 1.6L
Title: Clear US title in hand & insured
Exterior Notes:
The exterior of the car has been meticulously cared for. Panel fitment, gaps, paint quality, ect is all on point. The outside is better than new. The previous owners rolled the rear fenders and subsequently cracked what appeared to be a previous repair and then resulted in a bit of surface rust. It has ALL been repaired with metal the correct way and is 100%. ALL of the fender wells have been coated in a rubberized sound deadening undercoat.
This car was brought down to the bare metal. I have seen EVERY panel without paint and it has NEVER been wrecked. The rear of the car appeared to have been previously repaired but didn't look to be from a collision. I think it was damaged in the container, or by a fork lift. In any case, it was repaired and everything is as normal. All of the dents were hammered out and smoothed, very, very little body filler was used, none was used to repair dents. I'm extremely particular about paint and body work and this car happens to be painted by one of the best that I know. I welcome anyone to inspect it. It has been wet sanded and buffed. There is no orange peel. The car was painted with Sherman Williams Ultra 7000 series materials.
There are no dents. There are no scratches. The doors shut properly. I bought all new hardware and components so that the doors would shut like new. I can't stand Honda doors that are worn out and fall when you open them. They did that when I bought the car so it had to be fixed.
The side moldings are painted gray. If you don't like them, I'll take them off and keep them or sell them. They were painted three different times just so that the shade was correct. I had someone send me an OE molding from overseas so the color could be scanned and reproduced. They are 100% accurately colored for the pre-94-95 MY.

Engine Bay / Misc Engine
The engine bay received just as much if not more attention than the exterior of the car. Since the engine was in perfect shape the bay had to be perfect. I cleaned every clip, (replaced what I could get from American Honda) and did everything I could to make it 100%. Since SO much work went into the bay, I'll try to explain the most significant stuff first. The engine bay was sanded down and any surface rust that was there got sanded down, sealed / primed and painted. The stock CMC had been leaking for years so the underside of the car required a bit of attention. It is all 100% now.
- Freshly painted engine bay
- Engine bay wire tuck
- This is another area that I spent a LOT of time on. I have been wiring for the last ten years and have done probably 30 or so wire tucks on cars over the years. I know how to properly solder wires. I know how to properly run wires and I am extremely proficient at creating a good looking harness using heat shrink and nylon braided sleeving. All of the connectors received a portion of dielectric grease to prevent corrosion and MOST of the wiring for the headlights and AC/FAN,ect is actually new. New pins, boots and wires were used wherever possible. The wires exit through the factory hole in the door jam and are SEALED by the stock grommet. No water or junk will get through.
- New OEM hardware throughout
- Freshly coated Zinc bolts were used wherever possible

- NEW OEM Honda return power steering lines & clamps
- OEM Honda Power steering fluid
- Replaced OEM high pressure ps line (not available new from Honda of Japan, replacement purchased from HMO)
- The power steering system is this car gave me the most headache. Once I pulled all of the parts out to have the bay painted, I realized the condition of all of the rubber lines and clamps, ect. I couldn't put it all back together since it wasn't going to be as best as it could. I purchased all new lines where I could and/or refinished what was in good shape. To give you an idea of how meticulous I was, I purchased a few cans of paint just to get the CORRECT OEM shade of green used on all of the lines. I purchased a NEW OEM Honda brake booster JUST for the Nissin reservoir... all of the reservoirs under the hood are new.
Interior / AC
- Shampoo'd and steam cleaned carpet, seats and floor mats (few stains, OE from 92' so some wear is present)

- NEW AC pressure switch

I opted to NOT put dye in the system at the time since I didn't want to clean the **** off everything before the WekFest Texas event. It has been sold so I haven't messed with it. I CAN fix this before the sale. Otherwise it will go with the system connected, just not functioning.
- NEW OEM JDM rear Honda Access cargo cover. Bought brand new.
- OEM JDM rear cargo box and tray, ect.
If you have read this entire thread, god bless you. I hope you can tell that I have put SO much work and care into this car that is shows through my words. The engine bay is spotless. The exterior is nearly flawless. The inside is in one of the best shapes you'll probably ever see in this generation car. Almost all of the car is new and what isn't new has been refurbished and cleaned. I will argue that it is probably the most period correct, freshly restored EG6 in the country. Everything works, I drove the car to Texas and back with zero issues. I would get the AC charged up and drive this thing to California... NO problem.
Now that I have explained all of the parts in general detail, there are a few little things that I would still do to make the car 10000% ready, they are:
1. Wheel alignment.
- I put all of the suspension and wheels on but only did a string alignment. The car drives straight as an arrow now, steering wheel is straight. There is however, a slight wobble at 10-20mph. It goes away once you get up to speed. All of the wheels are balanced to 100%. It did it with the old wheels and old axles before I rebuilt the car.
2. AC system should be charged.
- I can do that, or feel free to handle it on your own. I will charge for my services and cost to get it working.
3. When cold, the car idles at 2500rpm.
- It started doing this after I put the engine back in. I assume the IACV may need to be cleaned. It doesn't surge, just idles high until the car is up to temp. Once at temp it will idle at 1200-1000 although the target idle is 850rpm in Hondata. The car is so quiet it really doesn't bother me. With the AC on I imagine it would idle at 900.
4. The AC line foam could be replaced for a brand new appearance.
5. The rear panels have some scratches and scuffs. The back of one seat has a couple screw holes in it from someone apparently mounting something to the back. The trunk compartment has some broken tabs. The headliner has one small scuff in the back near the wing. The Gather speaker has a small inch crack in the garnish. These are overall minor issues to an otherwise nearly perfect car.
6. The windshield washers do not work. I removed the ugly canister and lines, although I did purchase new hood sprayers from Honda.
7. Sometimes the muffler will vibrate against the sway bar mount. I spaced the muffler out a little bit which helped, but it's just so big and the stupid ASR brace pushes the bar out so far that it touches. Driving there is no sound. Idling at 850-900rpm it will ping a little bit.
I will take some nice pictures of the car when the weather permits but I urge you to see the car in person (if possible.) I don't mind taking people on test rides or explaining anything about the car in greater detail. I will not however let anyone ride/drive around without first proof of some sort of payment.
I am NOT in any hurry to sell this car. I know that the right buyer will come along and that it will take the right person to appreciate the level of work put into this car. I won't respond to low ball offers. At this time I WILL NOT PART THIS CAR OUT. I would perhaps entertain the idea of selling the front lip and wheels, but not at this time.
Price / Payment / Delivery
$15,000
Cash / Cashiers Check / Wire Funds Transfer
I will deliver the car up to 300 miles away for free. I would be more than happy to arrange enclosed shipping at the buyers expense. I have shipped cars before and never had any issues.

It goes away once you get up to speed. All of the wheels are balanced to 100%. It did it with the old wheels and old axles before I rebuilt the car.
2. AC system should be charged.
- I can do that, or feel free to handle it on your own. I will charge for my services and cost to get it working.
3. When cold, the car idles at 2500rpm.
- It started doing this after I put the engine back in. I assume the IACV may need to be cleaned. It doesn't surge, just idles high until the car is up to temp. Once at temp it will idle at 1200-1000 although the target idle is 850rpm in Hondata. The car is so quiet it really doesn't bother me. With the AC on I imagine it would idle at 900.
4. The AC line foam could be replaced for a brand new appearance.
5. The rear panels have some scratches and scuffs. The back of one seat has a couple screw holes in it from someone apparently mounting something to the back. The trunk compartment has some broken tabs. The headliner has one small scuff in the back near the wing. The Gather speaker has a small inch crack in the garnish. These are overall minor issues to an otherwise nearly perfect car.
6. The windshield washers do not work. I removed the ugly canister and lines, although I did purchase new hood sprayers from Honda.
7. Sometimes the muffler will vibrate against the sway bar mount. I spaced the muffler out a little bit which helped, but it's just so big and the stupid ASR brace pushes the bar out so far that it touches. Driving there is no sound. Idling at 850-900rpm it will ping a little bit.
I will take some nice pictures of the car when the weather permits but I urge you to see the car in person (if possible.) I don't mind taking people on test rides or explaining anything about the car in greater detail. I will not however let anyone ride/drive around without first proof of some sort of payment.
I am NOT in any hurry to sell this car. I know that the right buyer will come along and that it will take the right person to appreciate the level of work put into this car. I won't respond to low ball offers. At this time I WILL NOT PART THIS CAR OUT. I would perhaps entertain the idea of selling the front lip and wheels, but not at this time.
Price / Payment / Delivery
$15,000
Cash / Cashiers Check / Wire Funds Transfer
I will deliver the car up to 300 miles away for free. I would be more than happy to arrange enclosed shipping at the buyers expense. I have shipped cars before and never had any issues.

I will post more when the local weather clears up. I have only a few images of the interior at this time.
