New member with 94 hatch

[B20Luder]

So just the other day I picked up my first Civic. Not the first Honda I have owned, I have had a few.
1990 Honda Prelude: Boost in progress, summer car
1990 Integra 2DR: Sold
1990 Integra 4DR: Sold
1991 Integra 2DR: Sold
1992 Integra 2DR: Girlfriends now

So anyways onto the Civic. Its a 94, CX model. 261000KM, 5 Speed, D15B7, New water pump, doesn't burn any oil or coolant, pretty mint with no rust, just needs a clean up. All this for.... 1000 dollars! (Canadian )

Onto some pics:






The only plans for it right now are:
Remove "chrome" stripping on it
SI Cluster swap
Drop
Add rear wiper (need it for winter driving, rear window just gets too filthy)
Add stock clock
New driver headlight
Eventually I would like to do a B18 swap, but I'll see what I have leftover for money after the Lude is done.

looks like you got a nice base to start with.
hope all goes well.
welcome

Thanks guys. I'm going to head out to the local wreckers called Pick and Pull this weekend and try to find some of the stuff I want for it. Not too sure on doing the rear wiper though, gotta figure out how much of the wiring was installed for it factory then just plugged off, or if I gotta do it all myself.

 

[shaggs]

you should have all the wiring for the rear wiper all you would need is the motor, wiper arm, wiper, and mounting hardware. it will just plug right in

Awesome that sounds good. Up front I am hoping will be the same with the control. Hopefully I just have to buy the one with the front and rear wiper on it, take out the old one, hook up new one.

Thanks guys. I am hoping to pick up a B18A or B18B this weekend to slowly work on on the side. As for lowering it, I am not sure yet. My friend has his lowered on Skunk2 Coils, but those are expensive. I wanted coils just to be able to adjust it to exactly where I want it, but might be stuck with just springs as I don't want to fork out a lot of money. Any suggestions?

That's a real clean base you have to start with. Sell me your steering wheel

 

[dewskie dew Eg6]

looks like a nice place to start, once you drop it, it will look so much better

Update: Haven't done anything since I bought it yet, found out it needs a new alternator and battery, going to cost me about 275 in total unless I decide to just rebuild the alternator (bad diodes). Found these at the Pick N Pull (Junkyard) out here:





OEM Clock and Armrest More pics once I install them.
