My car lives
ok so alittle over 3 weeks ago i found a car on craigslist forsale. it was a 94 civic dx with a 95 D16Z6 swap. the car had a chipped and tuned ecu from PHEARABLE.NET, full msd ignition system, aem intake, skunk 2 cam gear, skunk 2 strut bar, eibach Pro-Kit springs and struts(lowers it 1.4 inches), VIS carbon fiber hood and fiberglass fenders, carbon fiber mirrors, short throw shifter, stage 1 exedy clutch and fidanza light weight flywheel, 16" konig rims,and a few other goodies, he was only asking $1200 because he couldnt get it running after a buddy of his started it while he was away and it stalled and wouldnt restart. he thought the problem was the ECU. so i was prepairing for a $175 fix. well after 2 weeks of investigating and alittle help from MK378(who told me check fuse #24) i found my problem was in fact that little 15 amp fuse. i replaced it, turned the key to ON and heard the fuel pump kick on and the check engine light go off like it should after 2 seconds. then i pushed the clutch and was really happy when she came to life!!! now that i have her running and she runs good im going to give her an oil change this weekend and flush the coolant, and run some fuel system cleaner through her. im also working out a deal for a turbo setup for her. here are some pics and a video of her running.
HERE IS THE VIDEO OF IT RUNNING:

Nice work! Looks like someone went a little crazy with the spray paint.
IMO, I would get rid of the door panels (or rewrap them), painted interior parts, fenders, mirrors, corner lights. I would pick up a EX cluster (with tach), oem mirrors and fenders, yellow corner lights, and lower it more.
For the most part, everything else looks pretty good and most of the parts installed seem to be decent in terms of quality companies.
