Well I had been talking about getting a project car to fix up and flip. kinda gave up bc everyone wanted like 700 for a very rusty EG that didn't run or was just a shell.
well then came along this civic, found it by total accident. the people and things you discover on myspace.
id be a moron to pass it up for the price of $200. its throwing a TDC code, so probably dizzy is bad. its a EX so it has the D16Z6. but an auto - chic car
227,000miles on the clock.
Reason it got the name Twilight is the paint im going to do. Jet Black w/ mixed sizes of silver flake. so it will look like a starry nite. also modded a 2dr bumper to a 4dr for a different look, adding Mugen style front lip and Type R rear lip.
otherwise i'm going to 'murder' it out. try and find a cheap set of 16" or 17" black rims w/ tires since it needs tires. also thinking about ground control coil overs.
possible 35% tint, lookin at a Kenwood cd/mp3 player for it.
Now the juicy part, engine. first im going to try and get the Z6 running. If it is weak, eventho compression numbers are good 175 to 185, or doesnt run then these swaps come to mind
1. D15B VTEC, about direct swap
2. B18a/B w/ auto trans and minor mods
3. F22D w/ a civic dx 5spd trans and bisimoto F2D kit
input? this is my first EG
