Default Bought new civic

I wrecked my 99 Ex but just recently bought a 1993 Civic DX hatch. No pics yet. But anyone know where to get cheap side markers? I tried eBay but they have them for like 7.95 plus 14.00 shipping...

Thats not too bad for side markers. You could check your local craigslist.com though. Post some pics of the new ride!

I'm about to go take some pics right now and post them when I get back on.

Here is a list of things I want to do with the 93 DX Hatch in no order:

Smoke amber side markers (got the yellow ones on them now but on passenger side the clip is broken)
Projection head lights
Black to carbon tail lights
Shift Boot - Black with Blue seam
Paint - Blue (kinda like the blue WRX's come in)
Speedy Lite-8 black rims
K20A engine with the LSD 6SPD Transmission (complete)
Stage 5 clutch kit
Wire tuck in the engine bay
Racing seats - black and Blue
Redo interior to black carpet and blue headliner with the dash in black and blue
Really don't plan on getting a body kit but if I was gonna get one it would be the Mugen front and buddy club sides and rear

Stage 5 clutch? A bit overkill i'd think. Anything over a stage 3 is really hard to drive on the street.

THe more power you put into a car the better clutch you need I might just get a stage 4. I do plan on getting a K20A that's 220 off the bat plus the other upgrades that I will do. I really want to do a Mugen Power theme too.

Nice hatch... personally, I'd keep the EM1 wheels.

But one thing you're overlooking. A K-series clutch will be designed to handle the power your K20a is putting down. Unless you plan on going heavily boosted, a stock replacement clutch would be fine for you. I wouldn't go with anything with a higher holding capacity than what you absolutely need... anything more just becomes a PITA when you try to DD the car. I'm not happy that I need to get a Stage 3 clutch for the mustang, but I kind of need the 700ft*lbs holding capacity for what I have planned lol

Yea I might just get the Stage 3 after thinking about it for a while and dreaming of the K20A. I love that engine.
