Not so new but still a newb
Hey everybody,used to be on here awhile back,had a '91 civic hb.it was a blue 4 speed.That's long gone now but i just picked up this '90 civic cx,it's auto right now but planning on swapping in a 5 speed whenever i can,the sooner the better.Anyway it needs rockers they rusted out bad,and front brakes,other then those it's in good shape,just surface rust in spots.

RE: Not so new but still a newb
plans so far include:
getting my cd player,speakers,amp and sub in
building a new sub box into the spare wheel well(built so i can use the full hatch and nobody will see the sub)
getting it on the road haha
lowering it with a set of k-sport kontrol pro coilovers
viper alarm with remote locks,and still have to see if it will work,but i'm going to see if i can use rear door handles from a ef sedan to replace my door handles which would get rid of the keyhole.
DAfront seats(unless i can find find an si at u-pick,then i'll have si front and rear seats)
new hatch/fuel door levers and cables
and hopefully be able to find a hatch cover and rear speaker pods.
tint
then stopping with that till next winter when it should be put away for full body work.
come spring it should:
be championship white
have a cf hood
a set of 15" drag DR-23s in gold with a polished lip
be 5 speed(and newer engine,'93 civic dx)
Future plans:
crx si dash
boost the d,or swap for a jdm d15bz vtec,and boost that
chargespeed wing
si front and rear lip
There are more plans,just most of it is still undecided.But that should give you an idea of it anyway.Hope it all works out in the end.As for the body work,the trim is all staying black as are the mirrors.

RE: Not so new but still a newb
so small update,got my deck installed,how to do some...."modifying" of my stock speaker pods to accept my mtx speakers,took the amber piece out of my bumper lights,and the black rubber piece off the front of my hood.i still have to run new speaker wire to my front speakers,and run my amp wire for my sub.
I'm looking at getting a set of 15" rims they're a 4 bolt pattern (4 1/2" on center spacing), 7 1/2" width, 5 1/4" set-back just wondering if any of the ef guys out there would know if these will fit well.

last pic is the only rip in either seats,its on the drivers side as expected.should be easy enough to get them in and i think they'll look good too,they're sporty but stock.not really the color i'd want but haha i'm not picky i love the look of them,can't wait to clean them up and get them in.
