'94 Civic DX

By Prototype4342
- Thu Jul 12, 2012 10:08 pm #310778 Hey guys I'm new to the forum, just figured I'd introduce my car. I'm planning any performance mods for it, it's my DD, just looking for more mileage wherever possible! It's a very basic DX coupe, 5-speed, 1.5L sewing machine. No cruise, power steering, sunroof, etc. Only thing it has is A/C, which is very important since I'm currently stationed in Texas.

- Fri Jul 13, 2012 12:47 am #310790 Here are a couple more pics, as I said no real performance upgrades. The only upgrades I have made are the WAI and smoothing the fog light holes. I have also rattle-canned the wheels black. They'll be getting smooth wheel covers soon.

Here it is the first time we took it down to Corpus Christi

And in this pic you can kind of see the blocked fog light holes.

I'll get better pictures of them later, We're driving it to San Antonio tonight then Corpus Christi Friday afternoon. Should be a fun trip and hoping for an overall MPG of about 43 including some city driving in SA and CC.

A bit of surgery on a tear in the bumper from the PO.

Trip went swimmingly, but due to us having to spend a night in the car with it on the whole time and A/C running, I didn't get an accurate difinitive MPG reading. Pics from the trip a little later.

- Mon Aug 20, 2012 2:25 am #313807 Well after a new ign module, new coil, new fuel filter, and new fuel pump, I finally figured out that the issue was the ignition switch.

So I spent a couple hundred to find out it's an $11 part.

I returned the module because that was $100 I didn't really have to spend, the rest stayed in, though. I'll count it as preventative maintenance.

Some pics I never posted
