Hey guys, I'm not sure if anyone remembers my thread I started awhile ago which got deleted, probably because I forgot about it entirely. But good news is, I am actually working on my car right now and its going pretty good so far, just adding some stuff slowly into it. Hope you guys can appreciate where this is ending and where it will end up.
Story time:
I always loved the coupe Civic of the 5th gen ever since my dad got one in probably very early (probably around 1998-2001). Unfortunately my mom kinda killed that car after awhile. But thats where my love for this car started. Plain and simple: I thought it was one of the greatest cars to ever be manufactured. Now onto my civic and background.
I got my Honda Civic earlier this year in March a few days before my birthday. Bought it at an auction for $975.
clean title, outdated tags though. Car didn't run because the engine was knocking bad, Put two Gaping holes in my oil pan, so that had to be replaced as well. Me and my did originally tried to fix it, but opted to get another D16z6 from another car that was not being used. Got it for $600, Has about 150XXX miles on it, but not sure how many exactly it had. Regardless to say, it works well. We dropped that in along with a new timing belt and water pump in Late march and had it running by april.
Now that the car was running I could get to work fine now, but the car still had some minor problems:
-Driver side door Window doesnt roll down well, (Drops in at a certain point)
-Driver side door lock won't open
-Missing corner lense for driver side headlights
-Paint fading
-Cars not lowered
((((((((((((
-Missing a Radio
-Poorly poorly tented windows
-The sound system wasn't installed correctly (wiring problem)
-Headlights don't work on low beam at night (high beam works fine though)
Needless to say it had quite the problems and more to find.
The job i had kept dropping my hours, insurance was killing me with some bullcrap with nationwide so i had to nearly double my insurance payments or find a new insurance company, and on top of that family issues were getting out of hand.
The end of the story was I got kicked out cause my Dad chose my step mom over me and my brothers, lost respect for him, but honestly that was one of the greatest days to finally leave that hell hole, now im in a nicer environment and lots of work space. I switched insurance companys and paying a third of what i would have paid, and finally i quit my previous job and got another job almost doubling my pay.
So pretty good ending, And i never looked back.
Pictures will be up soon. As in like less than 20
