Hey guys im new here so i thought i'd show you guys my car and how shes transforming slowly but surely.
So I had a 96 Accord 4 LX and i got tired of it, too big or idk but it wasnt me so I sold it for $1,900. So I did my research and i fell in love with the 92 Civic so the next step was 2 or 4 door and a 4 door seem like a better option considering people getting in and out my car from soccer games and other stuff so i looked for a 4 door and i found her. Got it from a Japanese exchange student that was leaving back to Japan and he purchased the car from Carmax back in June 2011, so he needed to sell it so i got her for $1500, 160k miles, clean tittle everything stock (except for stereo). There was a small squeaking noise everytime i went over a bump or something and i asked the guy and he said it was just a bad spring so i didnt mind since i was lowering it. I went to get it checked out and the front lower control arm is damaged so im gonna fix that soon because the noise gets annoying .
Planning on keeping the motor and everything under the hood stock, don't feel like dealing with cops and what not.
Pros:
- 160k Miles
- Stock
- $1500
- Clean Tittle , no damage to the car (except for normal dings here and there)
- Rims (pretty lame looking but hey its a start)
- New tires
Cons
- Front control arm
- All speakers except for front right are blown
- Sun spots on doors (at least thats what i think it is)
- Front 2 seats are ripped so they came with seat covers (theyre pretty ugly
)
- Strong Cigarette smell
____Done Things___
- Lowered 1.5"
- Installed Lip
- Foglights
- Replaced Vertical Door Moldings
- Removed Window Tint
____To Do List____
- Paint
- Install Window Visors
- Possibly Paint Rims (?)
- Paint Windshield Wipers
- Buy Struts And Cambers (Getting pretty annoyed of jumping 10 feet with every bump
)
- Alarm
- Speakers
- HID Headlights
- Change Front Seats
- Stock Wing (Maybe)
- Rims
- Change Cluster Light Color
- Get Carpet Washed
- M3 Style LED Rear View Side Mirrors
- Rear Windshield Visor
- 50/50 Tail Lights (Maybe)
- Replace melted 3rd Brake light
- Learn how to install my new Red JDM Honda Emblems
- Tow Hooks
So far thats all i can think of ! If you have anymore suggestions let me know ! Im open to critism and opinions. Thanks for looking !
How she sat the day i bought her after i took off the window tint.
More pictures upon request . Will post updated pictures tomorrow ! Will keep you guys updated with everything done to her!
