and that is my car so far. :( but slowly i will have it running... as of now i need new headlights, a radiator body kit bolted on, and paint andshe wil run liek a champ.) i did just put a new guage cluster in. WORD OF ADVICE.. IF YOU BUY A CAR WITH A WIDE BODY ON IT, DONT RIP OFF THE REAR QUARTER PANELS IF NOT NEEDED TO. ITS A HUGE HASSLE AND MESS.!!


MORE PICS to come in te next few weeks

[Got Vtec?]

Looks pretty good. I like the kit.

[CIVICRicerBoy]

Real Type R seats? If so, you have a hella big rip in them...

[modsHXcivi]

i thought the motor made it run.. but i could be wrong... looks like a nice project tho

[remoer]

very nice i had the same body kit on my 95 civic coupe. and when i build another 95 coupe i will get the same kit. the reason id the kit complements the curves of the car. very sexy... :TU:

[HbDrIvEr]

correct, the enigne doe make it run but if the radiator isnt in there well it wouldnt run for long..... (smart ass hahaha) and there R1 race seats not type R there just some ebay shit that looks like his dog ate the seat.... pus there so faded from the sun there coming out....

thanks for the comments
-getting stock headlights and corners tonight 1-1-07
-tomarrow 1-2-07 im getting new radiator and all the bolts to put my bumpers on. then side skirts go on ad thenoff to paint.!

[1990reds13]

car looks good..i personally like the wheels....keep us updated on the progress

[SiLkk]

nice work so far, keep it up!

[HbDrIvEr]

just got back from the junk yard, and came home with a lot of bolts for the bumpers and a few for the fenders. i also got a speedometer guage trim. (mine was cracked and the vents were broken) tomarrow im going to go back and get the driver side mirror- i didnt have enough money today....

they gave me a radiator for the 1992 civic hatch as me but this one was automatic... i no it will work but to me it seems like it sits to high... and that the hood wouldnt close... do honda radiators just sit high up???


also, i have a 1992 hatchback VX (what is VX compaired to dx ex cx>)????????????

[Dibble]

Did you buy that car from a guy in New Orleans?

[dante123321]

Looks pretty good

[HbDrIvEr]

Did you buy that car from a guy in New Orleans?


i live in wisconsin so i went down to the ghetto burbs of chicago....... (bad idea)

[HbDrIvEr]

i officially have my car running and took it for a test drive. it ended up have a bend front end where the radiator sits. so my bddy and i hooked a tow rope to the front end and i sit in the car holding the break while took his truck and pulled the front end back and it worked liek a champ! the radiator is in with new hoses and filled it up with coolant. we haqd to get al the air out of it but that took 10 minutes. i took it for a test drive with no bumpers and or hood, haha but no cops were around and even then im sure they would understand. the car ran and idled awsome. now just the body and the performance is left. ill keep everyone updated!

-nick-:TU:

[HbDrIvEr]

so i came to the conclusion that my car is to big of a project for me and im not a body work expert so this will be very hard for e to complete. i also dont liek the ricer look.

so i posted a ad on www.craiglist.com about my car and that i would sell my car, trade cars or trade and put some money down.

im getting a lot of responses. here is the specs on a car that theguy wants to trade cars straight up. -
---------------------------------------------------

I have to sell my Honda Civic Hatchback. It has the d15 engine. It has 101,000 miles and runs as stong as all the other Honda's out there. Just passed emssions and it will never have to be tested for emmissions again. Just put on some 17" ASA Rims and tires which barely have any miles on them. AEM Cold air intake. The Adjustable Coilover springs help this little hatchback corner like no other. The 5-speed manual is lots of fun to drive and gets AMAZING Gas Milage!! No rust, no dents, flat black. No interior carpet besides the custom living room carpet I put in for the time being. Make an offer. Needs to sell fast! Call Phil with any questions
