#241438 ok, so i've been lurking for a little bit now and asking some questions. i figured it was time to post up my ride and see what you all have to think about it. its going to be a slow build as i'm in the military and broke, and living in ND its cold for a long time...

a little about my Honda history. i've owned a 89 CRX USDM with lots and lots of EDM parts as i lived in Germany with it, had to sell it cause i got divorced. also owned a 04 EP3 Si, raced around the Ring in it (truly amazing) and shipped it back to America. got back here and the spark plug blew up and destroyed the engine, couldn't afford a new engine so i sold it.

thats what leads me to where i am now...missed having a Honda and so i found an 92 civic hatch VX. i just had to save it from the rednecks so i bought it and here is what im working with

gotta love the flames [smilie=puke.gif]

yep B18B mated to a S80 LSD...thats the main reason i bought it

so i know it needs lots of body work, but thats probably going to be next year. this year i'm just trying to get the engine running...i want it running smooth in time for summer, about 2 months away

goal for next weekend is to put on my power doors

Image
and i have a POS aftermarket header comming in so i can put in an O2 sensor and get rid of the last CEL i have.

does anybody know what kind of seat this is, is it a stock EG seat? it's really cozy while driving.
Image

for the future...
the ultimate goal is to hopefully go back to germany and race the Ring again but this time in VX'd and so i have a motivator in my garage for me and the car
Image

but other future mods hopefully include...
1. get runnung like it should
2. get body fixed and painted...White
3. carbon fiber hood/roof/spoiler
4. newer suspesion
then after all thats done i'll work on the interior

let me know what you think. any ideas are welcome

#241527 i know that seat because i both had one and was about to put one in my crx its a 1986ish prelude seat probaly custom mounted but they are also close to the 1991 on down prelude seats

anyhow goodluck with the hatch looks like a good start

HAHAHAHAHA...i know, but i cant put it out, but i was thinking about actually painting some flames on the fenders to match until i can get a good paint job. LOL!

but thanks.

here's the doors on and they fit like a glove and i think they look good dirty but good.

and now i have to figure out how to make the 2 wire chasis harness match the more than 2 wire door harness

#264458 ok, so its been a minute since i have posted here...i'm currently deployed to Iraq...but before i left i rebuilt my bottom end (i had about 100 PSI per cylinder for compression) and get it running and then one of my fuel lines busted and i got orders. so my little baby is sitting in my garage waiting for me to get home and fix her. but thats my update for now. :thumb:
