d16z6 motor swap from a 95 civic coupe
tenzo r light weight rims (black with a red lip 15") brand new tires also
poly urethane mugen bodykit
tenzo r lowering springs
black housing halo headlamps-black tail lamps and black front corners
exhaust and civic type r carpets front and back
when I did the swap I replaced axels timing belt all gaskets oil rotor and cap spark plugs n wires etc.
the car is silver up top and the bodykit is black all the way around but i plan to paint the whole car black.the car rides great.isnt real bumpy like my teg.the best thing is that it fill up with $20.00 when its empty and the gas here is 2.16 for regular and i get about 230-250 miles.I dont turbo cause its auto and besides this car is also my beater.yeah this is a long *** post but I like my hatch and with all this ---- done it should last another 20 years
In a DX? I get 300 easy in my Si
my hatch is a 88. the motor is from a 95 civic coupe ex. the ecu is from a 90-92 teg.tranny is from 1.5 auto that came in the car.and vtec isnt connected yet until i figure out how to connect that bullshit msd switch.so im pretty happy with that 250 miles to a tank of gas (and this is some city some highway) considering that my truck fills up with $40.00 and i get 250-280 miles and my teg fills up with about $25-27.00 and i dont think i even get 250 miles since i turboed it i could get 300 out my 95 civic ex but it takes more than $20.00 to fill up so my hatch is the best on gas that i have right now and i bet if i drove all highway i might get 300.
