Bought another Civic yesterday *PICS*
 

OK,

So my 89 hatch killed a rod bearing last week, and I didn't feel like putting it back together half assed and then have to do it again before racing in April. Since I have until april to finish the car, I figured I'd just get this other civic I've been looking at and turn the current one into a full race car.

My new car is an 88 Civic hatch, DX. Price paid, essentially $1700. I know it's a lot but get this...

1 owner, an old lady has had this since 1988. I've got the original Honda window sticker with the price and all that... $8500 new. The car is really clean for the midwest, has only 80k miles, and the engine bay is immaculate. I put my 15s with snow tires on right away, (nice black 5 spoke Fitapaldis), and that looks nice over red. I've got record of every time a mechanic touched this thing, which is also sweet. New clutch (even though it's the small one) and all that too. Now I know it's a DX, but here's the list of to be mods (daily driven, the turbo hatch will be the race car).

MPFI swap (I've already got all the parts)Z6 manifold
Chikara Header
Intake
short shift
strut bar
stock rear sway
si gauge cluster
si seats
si cam
later (shaved 7y head, pnp, with 3 angle valve job... ;D)

For now, I've already got most of it, so that's all I'll do. I don't care about making it look flashy, so I stick to simple upgrades. It'll be nice to have a normal car (no exhaust or springs) to cruise comfortably in...

I'll get pics up tonight, it's a nice day for taking them...
