My first civic

[smittyblks13]

Just got my first honda civic in my life becuase blow my 240sx up. It's a 95 4dr sedan that is very clean for the price I paid for it. Only 900 which was to bad for a bone stock civic with only 135000 miles on it. It only have one dent in one of the door and the window cable broke in one of the rear door. I was wonder can anyone give me advice on how to clean it up a bit more and how to get a little more power out of it. The only thing I hate about the car is that it's a automatic and FWD.

thats really nice for 900. What do you mean by clean it up? Interior exterior or something else? Yeah I hate having a automatic fwd as well.

I want to give it a little more power but I can't find a header for it. I got an apexi n1 exhuast and aem intake for it dirty cheap cuase I work at one of the biggest car shops in columbus GA. But I'm also tring to figure out the best way to lower it down. I'm looking for good spoiler and jdm front bumper and fenders.

sounds like you are on the right path. They have a header for 99 shipped not sure of the quality though http://www.k2motor.com/

Anything should be better then the stock one. One of my friends has the same motor as me in his hatch. but he got his header and exhuast off ebay. And I can tell the diff. last night when we want riding around on the highway. Any idea on the best way to lower I got some chrome and gold rota wheels size 16.

What engine is in it? Is it a 1.5 or a 1.6 litre? You can find the engine code on a small plate that is on the front of the engine (if you stand on the front of the car its somewhere on the left just under the header). It should be something like D15something or D16something. Every Honda engine has other mods that can be carried out.
Best way to lower it is using a full coilover kit. Not the ones that you mount over your stock shocks, but a complete suspension kit like D2 or K-sport makes. It's adjustable in heigt and hardness and it improves your handling dramatically!

It's a stock D15B7

nice! thats a clean little sedan! those are getting harder to come by in that sort of shape as the years go on!

 

[smittyblks13]

Thanks. I starting to love the car more and more each day now.

Yeah thats how it was for me when i had my first civic! I got it when i was 17 in 1997 it was a 1995 civic DX with 27,000 miles or so on the clock... I was a little depressed at first because i was going from a 1992 mustang gt to a civic, But the more i drove it the more i fell in love with it! This was right when the import scene was starting to kick off! I remember when it was a BIG DEAL to have a VTEC engine of any sort in your car! I didn't swap it till sometime in 2003, Then we were inseparable! lol! I loved that little car! I put so much money and blood and sweat into that car! Wait till you start modding it then you too will be joined at the hip! lol
