Sup guys! I'm new here and I drive a 1993 honda civic hatchback dx and there many things I need done on this car before it's perfect. I've been Acari enthusiast since I can remember. Never been a ricer and not interested in that scene, I like clean simple cars. When I got my hatch it was owned by some dude who drive it in the field, so there's lots of scratches and dents:( this saddens me. I want to turn my car around to its prime time condition and give it a little extra. I also want to convert my DX to an Si . So far I've done little to my car but it's helped its outer and inner look a lot. I need to get some rust out a couple small dents and a semi bug dent. It's also stuffing from clear coat damage but it's normal do to the year and where it used to be at. It also has really scratched almost stabbed ceiling and trunk from the inside and on some parts of the dashboard. I'll upload pictures of my car to show u guys what Im Talking about. Hopefully I get some help from u guys to help me perfect my car with a few tips and advice.

yeah, you got it right there. I have built both and if you have the extra money it is well worth going the b-series route but I will help you out as I can. so you are aiming towards d-series?

yeah, we just switched over here in ny. I know here it they cant plug it in they can't smog test it so I stay obd1 and I'm in the clear. my b18a was engine, tranny, axles and mounts. the wire harness is the same and technically you can run the stock ecu if you wire up a vtec switch.

and that's any of the b-series. I did a whole b-series motor swap for less than a grand on a bet.

This is so poorly written I had to read slowly to interpret your meaning. I just searched Google to figure out what is an "Acari" enthusiast only to find its a family of arachnids. I suggest if you want effective help, take the time to write clearly so people understand what you want.

When I was stumbling through it all I could hear was a foreign guy who hasn't been in America quite long enough....
