91 Civic SI bought for $240 not running, supposed head gasket. All it needed was a set of plugs and the plug wires pushed onto the cap all the way. Ended up doing quickie rebuild on motor which included rings, bearings, all new gaskets, quickie port/polish, timing belt/water pump. These pics are all after I had cleaned the car from sitting under a pine tree (sap sucks) for over a year by previous owner. Only things I did on outside were ebay amber corners & new o.e. tail lights (o.e. was busted), a set of American Racing 14" wheels I got for free for helping a buddy move (had to repaint them, SEVERE curb damage & corrosion, decided to go w/ Autozone gunmetal rattle can, and 4 new center caps) a set of new Goodyear GT-HRs (reppin' Goodyears because I work for a Goodyear tire dealer), and newly installed H&R race springs. The only other thing you can see is the exhaust, wich is a Flowmaster 40 series 2.25" offset in/out with local exhaust shop bending pipes to match from header back to tip, wich is a Summit Racing stainless 2.5" round tip (going for the kinda sleeper look, hence the black paint) Sounds nice, not too loud or raspy, unsuspecting if anything. Stealthy too.
This is a close up of fender gap. These are ALL after installing the H&R Race springs. I know the rear looks high...Im still trying to figure it out...(note the Ohio salt/rust OWNAGE)
Close up of springs/struts, note you can kinda see the Ingalls rear camber arm kit w/ poly bushings.
KYB AGX's all around...love these things, ride decent w/ the stiff springs, also note the Energy Suspension bushings,I have the whole kit, front & rear, motor mounts, and shifter bushings too (which work REALLY well to get rid of slop, so do the motor mounts)
Interior...basically stock, some aftermarket pedals, an ebay knockoff Spoon steering wheel, torn driver seat bolster, but clean for most part. Also ebay short shifter (love cheap parts that work, but warning not everything ebay is good!!!)
No rear seats, ebay strut tower bar
Motor shots...Ebay "stainless" (haha) header, ebay cold air (replaced junk ebay filter w/ real K&N filter before I installed), MSD 8.5mm Super Conductors, MSD Pro-Cap for external coils, Blaster SS coil, 30 minute quickie polish job on valve cover, ebay strut bar, positive battery terminal wrapped w/ a rag...(fire hazard kicks my ass)
THE GOOD STUFF...soon to be home made turbo kit (not soon enough)
Mitsu 14b turbo 1st gen eclipse manual (I think, correct me if Im wrong) wating for parts to do a rebuild on it.
STD manifold & adapter plate (very nicely machined)
Typical Mitsu exhaust housing cracks & wastegate flange (not too bad though huh?)
Will be updating periodically.
