My name is Paul and I just bought my first civic. It is a 1989 civic dx hatch.

 

Welcome!

Post up some pictures!

 

Welcome Paul, I have a 91 Hatch and the thing can't be replaced with its go-kart-ness lol.

Lets see some pics, any problems with the car yet?

 

Well hrmmm...so far I have had to flush the coolant...horrible fluctuating idle fixed. Thrn I had to do valve cover plugs and wires....oil soaked engine with fouled plugs....13 inch steelies removed in favor of sparkly aluminum 13's....dunno what they are called havent ever seen them anywhere before but I likes dem... Could only find some way too big snow tires in a 13" used and dry rotted, but at least I can take "Ole Blue" to the store now. I have no computer is there a way to download pics from an android phone??? Had an old school amber lit Kenwood that I removed because it didnt work...replaced it with a brand new JVC....THE STOCK SPEAKERS STILL ROCK!!!! Put on a K&N airfilter to get a lil more air To the suprisingly peppy 1.5 SOHC. Degreased and cleaned the engine bay. Ordered some vent visors and shadowed the front bumper markers and the complete rear signalization.

Plans-
New seats...im a big guy and these stock seats will be destroyed quickly im sure...any suggestions?

Brake light is on so I will have to check out the brakes, im sure they are just worn out, but it stops well and im not loosing fluid, so they can wait awhile.

Body is rotted near rear tires, will address this soon...any suggestions?

What tire size should I be looking for in a 13 inch... Tirerack says 155R13, but maybe you all have a better suggestion?!? Im not really looking to molest this car, because I like the way it drives and I still get looks.

Found a few donor cars at the junkyard, hoping they have a couple good seats, a rear seat, a passenger side mirror, a stock antenna, and a dash vent assembly (mine is barely half there and doesnt do much.

P.S. -the a/c works perfectly.

 

 

Guess I cant do pics...will have a comp soon

 

You need to add [img] at the beginning and [/img] at the end of the photobucket thing. I changed it for you, but it is not a red "X"
