#111957 Hey guys I'm new here. I just wanna show you guys my ride. It was my first car. It's a 1993 Honda Civic SI Coupe.
I had a rice fever for abit so I'm sorry I'm going back to the stock style.

I was driving her one day and the impossible thing happen. My lower ball joint and axle broke. I attept to fix her. Almost work but the other axle I got broke:

#111969 y would you sell it? things purdy. i say b18c. the k20 is a lot harder and expencive to do. altho a k would be sick if you wanted to put the time and money into the car. but the b18c is more so strait forward and bolts right in. fits like a glove.

#111976 well what so bad about it? thing looks strait as an arrow. if your going to be doing a swap your going to be replacing all the axels and stuff anyway. and same for you suspension.interior is easy. even if you trade for another your starting point will be the same unless swap or upgrade have been done already. i say keep it and do a build. throw some lips on it, drop er down a bit with some new wheels. give it a nice detail and wax it.

I know. The car came with those. Thing is with that car is that the floor as hole and at the rear suspension where the LCA's bolt on there's a hole.

I know everything is fixable but there's alot of work to do to make her decent. (quarter panels, fenders, doors, hood, rear bumper, engine bay, swap, interior, floor, paint job) Yep I guess I need to save money now lol :lol:

#112904 Hell Ive spent two months installing a new D15B2 into my EJ2 and doing the body work just to daily drive it so I can buy my real project (Hatch SON!!!)

Also I did a whole paint job with rustolium spray paint and looks almost as good as a professional paint job for about $70.00 including paint, tape ect. and about 15 hours of good prep work.

I say keep it.

I wanna keep her too but she's in really bad shape so I might keep her for my mom cause shes working 2mins from home. I'm looking for one that's in really good shape or maybe just a shell

#113102 I started the bodywork today and she's coming along pretty nice. Then I'm gonna sell her with a fresh paint and a good JDM D15B for her heart.

I'll post pics when ever the bodywork is gonna be done before the paint.

Thx for watching my thread!!!! :thumb:
