After owning various civics and a accord, i never really was happy with what i wanted...
i went from a 2000 Civic EX w/ a LS Swap A/C and P/S. Crashed and sold
bought a 92 Civic CX Hatch w/ rebuilt D16y8 that was going to be my "race car" until i decided to get engaged
traded for something family sized...94 accord ex wagon, it was so comfy! but so slow and getting 19mpg...
after looking for a civic, i found a 95 civic dx coupe...owner said it had a GSR in it, catback exhaust, and all sorts of awesome things, but needs paint...i didnt care, i wanted it and he wanted something for the family so we traded...
9/25/2012
this car was ugly inside, filled with bugs and smelled like *poop* ... the owner had it since 99 and got tired of it so i picked it up, took it to advance for a new battery and drove back from miami to fort myers for a quick wash and air freshener
9/26/2012
owner lied a lot, said it had a GSR and all sorts of awesomeness...it has a LSVtec in it, B16a head with B18b bottom and a bunch of ebay crap...or so i think...
after a tune up i got an ek center console and fitted it...still need to fix the fitment...and also got LS wheels in trade for my 17inch ricer burners...plan was to polish and sell...but ended up liking them for the long run
9/30/2012
hated the purple and black window tint so i got rid of it with a steamer...best DIY i ever did that succeeded
10/09/2012
the trunk of the car was full of bugs too, i removed the carpet, washed it, and painted black and thru in my 15in kicker w/ amp which had to come in by removing the rear seats and shoving it in the trunk lol, in the future im gonna put some kind of sound deadening to keep road noise down
10/10/2012
then got down and dirty and started to really deep clean the car, i wanted it to at least have all the dirt off of it and it worked with some hard scrubbing and degreaser/water...the paint job it had was destroyed and didnt even last when i started scrubbing...and the worse part is that it was still dirty!!!
10/15/2012
after a a few months of hating the car and trying to get rid of it because it didnt want to stop leaking...i decided to keep it and go all out...so i removed the carpet and started cleaning and fixed all the leaks with new parts from honda...while the car was on hold, i got to pay off my wedding and honeymoon which was a big plus!
2/18/2013
at first i thought the car was in a good shape underneath until it rained and left a mess cause i forgot a window open :smackself, so then i decided to deep clean again on the inside but this time i removed everything and degreased it all...
2/20/2013
i decided to dump the carpet and go with stockinteriors.com...at this time i wanted to wait till my 2nd month of marriage to order it and be done with my interior in 1 month with new carpet padding...
2/22/2013
i got married March 3rd 2013 and came back from my honeymoon from Jamaica a week and a half later and started working on the car again
my muffler blew from a 2step launch...darn ebay mufflers lol...so i found a twin loop for 20 bucks and got it restored with my wife...then i found out i had a few exhaust leaks that need to be fixed...
3/17/2013
cleaned up the engine bay with simple green, made a huge difference from before lol
3/28/2013
traded my radio for a better one here at work, and have been rocking no carpet like a race car until the time is right...so i decided to tape up that hole where the manual use to be so the hot air would stop going in...my cheap solution thats gonna be fixed when the carpet comes in.
3/30/2013
and then decided to straight up degrease the car...ended up taking out oil hand prints, over spray, bugs and stains, an some more paint....
