Default So money... Picking up a '93 Civic DX Coupe

$500! Purple, rusted, really dont care! I'm gonna fix up the body myself and probably paint it flat black. As far as mods and all that fun stuff, we'll see, probably won't be anything expensive and extreme, maybe drop a B18B in it or something. I've got an Impreza 2.5RS that I've posted pics of a couple of times on here so that gets my full attention when it comes to big expensive mods, and that is going in the garage for the winter

But I'd just like to say I've joined the honda family(finally)

So now I'm rocking a 2.5RS, '93 Civ DX coupe, and a nissan xterra... w00t! Gotta love jap crap

LOL, the 2.5RS is the show queen, and some other fun stuff It's getting JIC FLT-A2s (hopefully), Volk Gramlight 57Pros and possibly Ganador mirrors in the next few weeks It's undergoing a transformation this winter. For a reference, old pic:


Plus I have a Nissan xterra for that lovely winter snowfall and my boarding trips to VT and all

I'll get some pics when I get back next week and have the car in my possesion, I'm heading out west come Friday.

Haha... I always used to call this car the barney car Since it was so cheap, the color don't bother me! But it will be changed, DIY style

Only engine mods to the Scooby are an intake and Apexi N1 catback. My hearts been set on a STi Version 6 swap, possibly RA, for a long while, so it's mainly been suspension, brakes and some cosmetics. I'll hopefully be getting the swap come end of spring into summer next year

No offense taken I nicknamed the car "Barney" 10 years ago when my aunt bought it, so it's had that name for awhile

Hah... you should see what it looks like in person, that rubber strip around the outside of the wheelwell as well as the strip on the inside are the only two things holding it together! So, Sawzall, new pieces of 1/4 panel, weld

man, i love those cars. I almost picked up a 2.5 that looked very similar to yours for 11k after my Si was stolen. it was silver and didn't have the lip, but it had jun flywheel, headers, tein HA's, and some other stuff that i can't remember. decided i'd be better off paying cash for a stock hatch than taking out a loan for another car to get stolen

Heh, I love the thing, only thing I don't love is the lack of power. So its either the STi engine swap, or selling it and buying something faster :cough: EVO or STi :cough:
