Good evening ladies and gentlemen!

A few of you may have seen my post about some riced up coupes body kit. But, alas. Now, I went for it, and got myself my civic. £600 i payed [about $970] for a '95 civic EG coupe.

It has quite a few problems [almost 100% with electrics. Such as the front right indicator, the left dipped beam headlight doesn't work, the right main beam doesn't work, and the left side light doesn't work, the reverse lights don't work, and the number plate light doesn't work]

Also note the front left alloy is different. Currently trying to find a replacement for it. Apart from this though, the car is sound [got the D15 i think, it's the 1.5 non-vtec engine]

So, hey everyone! :)

looks like an EX..... cant tell for sure if its got a sunroof or not, and it has the ex/si lip. someone could of added the stuff, but in the states EX's have the D16z6 Vtec.


and thats too clean of a coupe to destroy by ricing it out! lower it and start thinking about engine swaps!! NOT body kits!!!

x2 kits are gay on hondas. I would actually crap on a honda with a body kit. and i really mean take a dump on it. right on the hood and watch it slide down.

It could be an EX. But I'm not too sure about it being a D16z6 VTec, because it's a 1.5. I'll post a picture of under the bonnet. But, yes it does have a sunroof too [Which, might i add, sticks alot and struggles to open lol].

Also, keep in mind I'm 18 and from the UK, so doing an engine swap [I wanted to get a B18C or something with a t3t4 in it] however, There's the dream-killer called insurance which is stupid-money over here...

Just did a bit of research, think the engine in it is a D15b7

[Assuming my civic is an LSi Coupe then] Sounds about right :)
