Default Just bought a 94 civic an hour ago

Hey guys. I have an 09 Jeep Grand Cherokee and got tired of getting 15mpg. I bought a 94 civic hatch back a few hours ago to use as a daily drive. Overall the car is in good shape. It needs carpet and an alignment. It has a jdm trans and motor with 60,000 miles. This is not my first Honda, I have a 666hp S2000 too. I really will not do much to the civic as it's going to be my dd. I'd like to fix the things I do not like and leave it at that. I look forward to chatting with some of you guys.

Pictures of the civic or the s2000? It's dark out and snowing. I can post pictures of the civic sometime tomorrow.

I'd like to put carpet in the car. The plastic pieces are painted white. I'd either like to replace them or paint them black. It has an after market steering wheel so the srs light is on. I'd like to either get the light off or replace the steering wheel. There is not a radio, I'd like to add one. The driver side front speaker is blown so I'd also like to add new speakers. I may add coilovers, since there is over 200000 miles on the body. I'll put hids on as well. Other then that just routine maintenance. I'll throw some amsoil in the motor, trans and diff.

Pics of everything!

Try and use some paint stripper first, sand, and then re-paint black/dark gray/ whatever the color of the interior is.

I heard something about wiring in resistors in order to clear the SRS light. Either that or get an aftermarket steering wheel.

Almost any single DIN should fit nicely into that radio spot. $40 per set of speakers and you should be golden.

Coilovers= Yay! HIDs= yay!, just dont get the 55w kit, they blind the hell out of drivers on the opposite side of the road.

Is that a brake duct thing there? J/w. It seems like a pretty cool idea.

Yes, it's connect to brackets on my front bumper. I have a chargespeed cf front lip and thought the brake ducts would finish the front end off. I only take the car to the drag strip, so the brake ducts do not really do much.
