Welcome to my 1993 Honda Civic CX build log. I bought the car with about as much OEM goodness as you can find in my area. My build isn't a trackstar build, it's not a go-fast build.. it's a sensible, fun, reliable, good looking daily build. I understand my monetary limitation and my mechanics knowledge. I feel real parts ARE the best parts for a car and will try to incorperate as many as I can into my build, but I think it doesn't make sense to slap a $300+ authentic part on my daily when I can get a knock off for half the price. (if you disagree, sorry, but keep that to yourself.)
So here's a little background on me:
I'm Andrew. 22 years old from Columbus, Ohio. Use to live in Circleville and Lancaster. I have had quite a stable of cars over the years..
1990 Olds Cutlass Supreme
1997 Ford Mustang
1993 Honda Civic DX hatch - traded
1993 Honda Civic LX sedan - wrecked
1990 Acura Integra RS hatch - traded
1992 Honda Civic CX hatch - traded
1994 Honda Civic LX - traded
1993 Honda Civic CX - current
As you can see, I LOVE the EG/EJ/EH chassis. But even with all those cars in my past, what I'm calling "Trashyhatch" is probably my first love. I actually care about what happens to this car.. so NO HACKJOBS, SHORTCUTS, or BS will occur in my build. Thank you for looking! Advice, deals, and parts are always welcome.. feel free to PM me!
Also, Ohio guys:
Add me on Facebook, I'd love to set up a small EF/EG/EK meet!
