1995 civic ex sedan
1.6 D16z6
4 wheel disk brakes
SEDAN!!
...got the car wrecked, my current civic was stock and the bottom end was going bad. My plans were to do a swap, but then i found this car.
Here she is just after i got it home.
The core support up to the horns was bent over, at the very front of the car it was about 3 inches off. So, using a 4x4 Dodge on one end and a tree on the other, we were able to get it back into position.
Then of course, the clutch was slipping, something i had no real way of knowing until the car was drivable. While i had the tranny out i went ahead and painted it, as well as cleaned up the engine bay and did the valve cover as well...ill post a picture of that when i can.
Yes, to me its still worth the trouble, i gained a sunroof, and went from a D15b7 to a d16z6, not to mention the rear disk brakes (although the only real thing i couldnt swap over easily was the sunroof.
I do have updated picture, and i will upload them sometime soon. As for future plans, they include lowing the car, paint, and sometime next spring a turbo kit. I am currently on the lookout for bottom end parts. If anyone has any suggestions on where to look feel free to let me know. (I have another d16 block to build up). As for suggestions...im not looking for anything over 300 hp...so im sticking with the stock crank.
Thank you for looking, updates will come when i can.
Btw, i might be interested in trading for some 15inch tims and tires.
