How's this for a civic? 56k Beware!

sxysweed · 03-17-2007, 11:07 PM

Hello. I'm Ben the Sexy Sweed, and I decided to drop by so I can learn some more about the great motors Honda made....

But we have a gen1 honda in our family. That's right a Gen1 1979 Honda Civic Hatchback. I have pictures below. The car has been through a complete tear down and restoration, and we are just about ready to start it now....

Complete with JDM Intake manifold, we just need to find a airfilter for it.... In the US of A, as even in Japan, it's not made anymore. It's a dual-carb Intake too!

Pictures:

Sorry for the mass of pictures, I'll try and get it all sorted out in the morning....

Why? It's a classic and should stay that way...

We're putting a k20 in a civic when I get one (yes, dad will let me do that), and since it's gonna be a 30mile drive to school, and 30miles back when we move, guess I gotta get a car....

But the thing is, it's a classic, and it's a first gen1 civic. It will be fun when the motor needs to be rebuilt, I doubt we'll be able to source engine parts, sourcing new bumbers took long enough...

You could probally find a way to put a d series motor in it, or a b series for some extra fun. But that car looks amazing and a great peice of honda history. If you can rebuild the stock engine, then keep it all original.

Squeeze an F22 and make some modifications......J/K looks good.
