NEW project civic... needs motor mainly
EDIT i got the car now at home..
EDIT
WELL FINALY got it home this morning 9-06-07
looking at it alittle beter now...
mainly needs a motor... nice little ROD hanging out the front of the block.LOL
so now looking for a D motor and crossing my fingers that the Vtec head on this motor is still good I HOPE! will probably rip it off the motor tonight or tomorow to inspect it so i can see if i need a WHOLE motor or just the botom end. IM HOPING for just the bottom end to keep it cheap from a NONvtec motor!

RE: HUM... thinking about picken up a project civic...
well the motor is FS localy and hes had it listed for awhile..... cause i was thinking about buying it before and building it up BUT ended up not buying it cause i figure the tranny is whats gonna kill my performance and i dont wanna spend 1500bucks for the swap!
my friend bought a 93 coupe civic that just needed a new water pump and a few small sensors for 600bucks i think is wha the said... said hes got 800bucks in the car and it runs and drives great just needs alignment and body work.
im just HOPING that this civic is in decent condition... so far no email responce...
for the motor ill try and borrow some cash from my dad for it just so i can get it and HOPE its not sold before then.LOL
otherwise id have to spend alot more money on rebuilding the motor that comes in it... if it comes in it that is.LOL tho i think it does or should.....
i just HOPE it doesnt have a body kit or a realy ugly paint color....... hopefully the pictures will look close to stock. tho the paint im sckeptical about...... cause he said it was custom but i didnt ask what color.....
it was a long day plus my stomac was messed up so i didnt wanna stay away from home for to long.... or should i say away from my good TP.... hahahhaha
im having high hopes......
cause i just want another manual honda..... before i had a 86crx just carbed motor and even tho the carbs secondaries wouldnt work properly BUT STILL fun little car to drive and best of all since it was also another CHEAP car i DID NOT REALY HAVE TO CARE ABOUT IT. LMFAO
and well my 99civic... WELL im kinda hesitant about pushing it realy hard or driving just stupid with it.......
tho trying not to get my hopes up to much until i get some pictures of how it looks and more details....
ive got pleanty of mechanical experience with old school american muscle cars and trucks BUT not realy to much of hondas.... but they are all preaty basic so im PREATY SURE i can handle it... but it will be a learning experience like any build!
either way EVENTUALY i will get a coupe or hatch manual to play with!
and on a side note i got one guy interested in trading a 92 SI hatch for my old church bus. LMFAO
tho his says NEEDS work but i wanna know how much work before i tell him ill think about it or not! cause my bus has a bigblock motor and tranny so the motor setup alone is worth agood 1K bucks and scrap metal its probably worth 500bucks... its a heavy @ss bus. LMFAO
only way ill trade it is if its just MINOR body work needed! but thats a HIGHLY UNLIKELY!!!!!!!
will take some time to sell that bus.LOL im not gonna sell it for any less than 1200bucks.
