Needed a change from the domestic stuff, but I've had Honda bikes before and they were all awsome, It's 1992 Civic SI Hatchback, far from perfect, but not a bad start i think.
Got my first Honda

- Start date
... And damn nice hatchie...Great pics!!!! Keep us informed!!clean start
good platform to build on
If you call that far from perfect, I'd like to see what you'd consider bad condition. That thing is clean, congratulations!
I don't know what the 5th gen Civics are like in your area, but around here it's very hard to find one for sale in that condition.
Good luck with the car, man. It looks great.
Thanks for the comments!!!!
hey guys thanks for all the comments!!! I didn't say it was bad lol
but there are a lot of little knitpicking issues I'd like to deal with, the pictures seem to hide a lot of it's flaws. At least the quarters are good though. I must say it was tough to find a car in this shape here in Canada, but after looking for about half a year I found a this one and grabbed it up last week. The car still needs a good wax, but I was extremely lucky to take these pics, because later that day it didn't look like that anymore!!!
As far as plans go, I've already put the OEM front lip, next mod is going to be a tint job for sure, then I wouldn't mind a set of OEM fog lights
. What suggestions do you guys have for tint? Up here the legal limit is 35% for the door windows, and anything goes for the back, I'm not going to tint the front windshield though. I was thinking for an even look to do 35% all around, is that dark enough? or maybe 25% in the back? thanks for all the comments guys.
Oh i thought I'd post up some more pics of my friends 1993 Honda Civic SI Coupe, I've always liked this car, but i think im going to go in a different direction. enjoy

very nice purchase op 
Welcome, and very nice hatch. I wish I could've found an Si.
Not a fan of your friends coupe. the dark black tail lights like that don't look really good.
as for your car, 35% is really light. I'd say 20% all around if you don't want to go really dark, but still want it to be a noticeable change. cops aren't too picky about tint. I've never heard of anyone getting pulled over for just the tint, maybe if they've already been pulled over than talked back to the cop they got cited for it. besides that it doesn't happen very often.
I'd probably lower it first though, it's gonna make the car stand out way more than just tint. than oem fogs would look really nice, than get some rims and your set. I've always liked white rims on black cars, although they have to be cleaned often.
