TL/DR version. The progression:
11/'15 hit a deer.
1/'16 Red Rocket 2.0!
Begin original post:
I've been lurking and learning for a bit on this forum and now decided to post my ride.
It's not much but progress is being made a little at a time.
Just a little bit of background first. I'm 42 and been a car guy my whole life. My main love is MoPar's and just Muscle cars in general. I have had many "old american" cars my whole life and a few imports. Anyway, when it came time to find a economical car (10 mpg in my '69 Plymouth Valiant just wasn't cutting it anymore lol) I knew I wanted a Honda Civic.
So, it came time to park the Plymouth (for a complete build) after 10 years of DD duties. That car is a soldier. Anyway, this is what I ended up with.
It's a '95 Civic DX with the gutless d15b7. This is how I got it:
Bought a wrecked '94 Integra for $300.
I was undecided for a while what to do with the Integra. Some of you may have seen the thread I made. I wanted to fix it but the damage was beyond my abilities with my current situation so I decided to part her out and use what I wanted.
Installed the rear discs from the Integra on the Civic
As well as the adjustable coil overs from the Integra. This is how she sits now.
I know it doesn't look much different, but it does to me. It sure does feel a lot different.
Near future plans are to drop the b18b1 from the Integra into the Civic
The transmission in the Integra was destroyed in the wreck
So, I scored an ls tranny for $200
I'm also going to install the "head lights on" chime and cruise control from the integra as well.
Distant future plans will be a b18c1. Maybe a h2b. Because this is my daily driver, it has to stay stock except a few bolt ons here and there.
And what the Integra looks like now
Well actually the spoiler, tail lights, head lights and interior are stripped of it as of now too.
I'll update as I progress.
