I've been on here for a while and everyone else has a project thread. so i decide that since i just got a new housei'm going to be doing more work to the car.

i pick up this 1991 civic hatch about a year ago. havn't done much a little body work and a new stock motor.


that's what it looked like after i started fixing the body.





this is what my parts car looks like as of 2 pm yeserday danm i have to get outside to dig out to go to work that's going to suck.

just pick up an si for $350 in nj 307 miles away. pick it up and drove it home half way iwth no brakes lol.



finally mpfi




don't know what's under the shirt but the rest the interior isn't bad. he kept the car clean i guess because it was clean not mint but it does have rips and tears but clean for a 15 year old car.





i'm dong to swap out the tranny put the dx in the si and the si in the dx. because gf will be driving the si and doesn't care for being quick she rahter save on gas.


sometime i have no brakes sometimes i do. i think the back brake is stuck i bought a spring kit and i'm going to dig into it once my neon is out of the garage and i'm going to see what's up any ideas will be great thankx.

 

that rust looks deadly!

 

yea but it looks better in person i planed on getting a better shell and i might still do that latter down the road but for now i have a si

 

fixed the brakes and bleed the back brakes i want to bleed the system off all the old fuild but i need to get the car though inspection first before i do that.

what is the engine code for a 89 teg motor? anyone know?

****** rights man, tell that ******* to go suck a fat salty **** rod!

 

good start

 

atleast you have a si to start with
but you have to get onto fixing that rust.

 

thanks guys. yea that's the way i look at it too about the si. i have a dx as well and i've put a lot of time in it. the si is mainly a parts car, i'm going to be getting another shell prob next year r so and strip the si.

 

The DX looks to have a much better body. Swap as much shiz from the SI into the DX as you can. You can't take too much if you want to keep the SI a DD for your girl. You could swap around the MPFI from the SI and put it on the DX. I'd swap heads with the DX too...at least take the cam.

 

i'm going to get another shell prob in a year or so. and swap everything off the siinto tit.
i need to civic lol because my gf is the on ewho got me into them and she wants "hers" to be stock for the most part. so i want to restore one stock brand new lilke it was @ the dealership new. the i can mess around the the other a turbo, b swap jdm front things like that. i can't do that stuff to her car. but yes i bought the si as a donor it's worst then what the people show but does look better in person till you start to look around.

 

nice work.... cant wait to see more of it... good luck!

 

thankx i wish i could just build them up and not worry about money.

 

arite thankx to h-t i found my orginal thread don't knwo why i couldnt' find it but it's in my fav now. i stwitch out axle and now i can driv ethe car again yea lol well i'm nto working today so i'm going to strip my si and maybe install my part like seats. have to be carefull what i take off because i want to push it back into the garage this weekend. i found my cheapy cam i'll try to find batteries for it and take pics.

 

bump for a majr project

 

i forgot to mention i'm going to be striping the si and putting everything onto the dx. i am waiting on getting an sedan for $75 needs axle and a motor. take the dx motor and get a set of used axle off here and it's good to go. i might even convert to standard don't know might just pick up a auto trans. and do a gas saver project.

lol went outside for about 20 mins took the seat out of the si pull one half the pan off and sanded it then i went to pull the other one of out the dx and i got tired lol. i think i may go outside now and pull it out and put the si seats in and not worry about the rust. but i need to pull the carpet and the other seats out of the si first that's going to be hard.

does anyone know how the dead pedal is scerude to the floor. my si has one but my dx doesn't and i want to put it on.

 

the dead pedal, grab a very very small flathead or whatever you can find to pry it up... the rubbery part that has the engraving or whatever you wanna call it, it just pops up, and there are 2 10mm i believe under neath of it.... im not sure on the bolt size, havnt worked on my car in a long *** time... good luck!!

 

lucky you lol does it just bolt in on my dx or will i have to drill holes and tap??? i know honda likes to leave the options open and i'm nto sure if you could get the dead pedal on the dx or not.

 

looks like a project , doesnt look bad at all, goodluck

 

thankx yea it's going to be slow but should be a little faster now that i have parts i'll try to update as i strip the other car down. the only thing i don't have a digi cam so pics will be a little delay if i can even take any.
