Well this will be my first documented build thread so bear with me here.
First a little background on my new project. For months i had been passing this thing to and from work with a "For Sale" sign on it. when i first saw it i thought holy shit the body is in great shape! So i stopped to have a look. sure enough not a square inch of rust and one one small dent in the driver side door. Shitty thing was the guy selling it wanted 9 GRAND for it! I was pretty bummed because this was around the time i was reading over euro_racers build thread on almost an identical car and i was quite influenced!
So a couple more months pass and the civic disappears. i figured some dipshit bought it haha. But to my luck when i was over for dinner at my grandparents place i saw it again down their street. Apparently the seller lived just around the corner from the grandparents. i meandered down to take another look and i noticed he lowered the price to $5000. well i made up my mind right then and there that id offer $4k and see what happened. To my utter surprise he took the offer and i was driving it home a couple hours later.
Here are some of the pics i took when i got her home. Ill take better ones when its daytime and clean.
B16 w/ GSR tranny(approx 50k)
AEM CAI
Spoon ECU
adjustable fuel pressure regulator
DC sports headers
not sure of the brand of the exhaust but its full stainless steel from the headers
its got some coilovers but i cant remember the brand haha
It pulled great on the way home and handled awesome. this will make a great project car. My intentions for a Civic project would be to take out that dirty SOHC and drop in a B-series of some sort but thats already done for me haha. But i think for starters im going to change out the cams and get some forge pistons. I haven't decided if i want to add turbo or not but ill decide soon.
Any ideas, suggestions or comments are greatly appreciated! i will update soon.
