I recently picked up a '92 Civic Vx Hatch.
It has some problems which I overlooked, because I missed my old Honda.
- Throwout Bearing makes an awful noise.
-When I have my parking lights on, my dash lights up. When I turn on my headlights, the dash goes dark.
-Terrible stereo (which I suspect might be messing with my lights)
-Shocks in the hatch are pretty much blown.
-Amateur paint (looks decent in pictures)
-Needed a tuneup.
When I test drove it, anything past half throttle would turn the car into a helicopter. Not in the good way where I fly into the sky to find paradise on a distant planet, but in the bad way where the plug wires are original with 146k miles on them and the exhaust makes a helicopter noise. I talked her down a few hundred for that, drove it down the block to a parts store, and solved that problem quickly.
Anywho, I figured I'd post about it here because it's raining outside (WASHINGTON!!) so I can't play with the car.
-D15Z1, I'm slowly falling in love with eco-vtec.
-skunk2 coilovers
-A few JDM lips
-Gold HX wheels and Honda Emblems
-Some muffler with stock piping, sound quiet but deep.
-Clean body, I found one small ding and one small dent that aren't obvious when you look at the car.
I'd love to hear suggestions for mods. For now I'm going to keep the vtec-e motor.
I'm thinking hids, and new wheels for sure. When I do the clutch i'll probably also do a short shifter. And if anybody has a suggestion for putting speakers in the rear without buying the super expensive panels, I'd like to hear them. Maybe just some boxed 6x9's in the hatch?
Here's a picture. I'll add more as I take them.
