My old Civic

[pearldrop]

This is my 91 Civic DX that I bought right after my CRX got stolen. These are pictures of pictures so that is why my thumb is in them.
I did a few things to it:
ZC motor swap
ZC tranny
Integra ECU
DC Sports Header
intake
Brospeed catback Exhaust
hollowed catalytic converter
short shifter
poly motor mounts
poly shift linkage
strut tower brace front and rear
Koni adjustable struts
Sprint Springs
Stinger drycell battery
91 EX front brakes
91 CRX Si rear disks
It was a fun car to drive I just got tired of the noise and everybody wanting to race. I'm not a racer at all. I built this car because I wanted a car that was fun to drive but everybody had to rev on me everywhere.
I sold it last year right before I sold my Accord.

Looks nice. And those ZC motors are a nice and cheap upgrade for civics.

It was an easy swap in my CRX because it was an Si. This was more challenging because you have to find a ton of different parts including whole new front spindle assemblies, brakes, drive axles and you have to do a lot of rewiring and find an integra ecu. That bumped the price to way over $1500 for the motor swap in this when it was only $500 in the CRX.

sick looking car pearly. Dang you are driving a beast huh? any thoughts about a turbo ?

[pearldrop]

No, I sold this after I bought the Cadillac. It was easy to trade between the two. The Caddy is faster and a lot more comfortable and quiet.

Uhh...if I remember correctly, I believe he (the new owner) wrecked it :crying: :( BASTARDS!!

<B> <B>The Accord got totalled into the end of a bridge a few months ago. The guy I sold it to was using it as a food delivery vehicle for an old folks home and then he got into drugs and his mom sold it to somebody else who wrecked it within a month of having it. Damn kids.
I only got $2200 in insurance from the CRX so that only paid for half of the civic. I have always liked the 4th gen civics way more than the 5th gen. But I guess that is just personal preference.

:( poor pearl 3 gee!!! well HOW MUCH DID YOU SELL IT FOR?? i woulda defenitly bought it if it was in the 6-7000 range even though i know you put much much more into it.....i woulda babied it and wax it every week :) that car was just awesome...I LOVE THAT APINT AND INTERIOR!

[pearldrop]

I sold it for $5000. Which is decent considering it had 250,000 very hard miles on it. It was pretty beat up when I bought it with 80,000 miles and I was not easy on it at all.
