OK, so here I am with my 1986 Honda Civic Si. Old school like none other, but in pretty nice shape and very little of that "honda rust". I have to admit that I have always had a bias against Civics. I drove a Nissan 240sx for a while, then I had several different RX7's (I like to buy and sell cars by the way) but I have yet to own a civic. I bought this car with the intention of doing a quick sale but after a weekend of cruising around in it I just decided to keep it for awhile. Anyways, I should have some pictures up by this afternoon.

Old school Civic are awesome. You should just keep it as a classic.

OK, here are some pictures of the car. I plan on replacing the hatch, where there is some rust, and the front two fenders. I have a friend who does body work and I am going to use his facilities to replace one of the floor pans (yay for free stuff). The car runs like a champ, it has only 109k on it, and the body is pretty good. I figure it is going to be a bit of a restoration project off the bat but we will just see how it goes. Oh, and what sort of performance mods are available/feesable onthis engine? It is the 1.5L fuel injected model. I think the engine code is EW4.

The interior is suprisingly clean (minus the mud, that's my fault).

That isn't the engine code, it should start with D15 something. Check on the block. A lot of people swap in the D16Z6 engines out of 92-95 civic si's and boost them for performance on a 4th gen civic like yours. That looks to be in really good shape for how old it is.
