    As far as the HKS intake, it was removed to smog as visually it will not pass. I didn't remove it for good, shit you know me better than that!


    As far as turbo, no. I won't do that. SOHC TURBO is not my thing. I'll go to the DOHC side soon enough..
    k good. i have love for slow cars with 2k+ into suspension too! in fact im easy to please when it comes to civics, as long as they are dumped (properly), dont have body kits, and arent riced out.

    the dirty d is getting quite a following, but if you ever get the need to have some power, at least YOU will have the options!

    plus its super clean...

    Then I'm pretty sure you will be pleased with this civic. I'm about to spend a grand this weekend.





    What is funny is how I remember alot of people were bashing the civics in general talk threads but I'm curious where they went? I was ready to hear it from ya guys. Instead I'm bombarded with PMs and IMs from so many members it's funny. They want parts off the busted... =0

    Its probably because everyone knows you, you wont ruin a car. In most cases you bring the best out of them. I mean, shit, look at the accord. Just say youll get another 3rd gen when youre rich like i want to do when i get out of college.

    if i was rich, i would have an accord with a GSR motor just like I Dreamed long ago before placeracing went out of business.


    Til then, i'll stick to my dream of owning the NSX i've always long for. Maybe another accord..maybe.

    Re: Flame On!

    At least it's another Honda....Love that generation,,,they look killer with the projector lights and the right tails...Car is clean...but Civics are not my cup-O-tea....my budy has one just like it slammed down and completley done out...looks sharp...but not as sharp as my 3 G...
    nice find!

    Re: Flame On!

    liked those civics some what. not a bad body style. my friend has one, its suck a pos. i thought my car was slow, uh, nah. not compared to his civic. its like a 95 or 96. anyway, its got the 5 speed, 115hp engine i believe. i'll have to ask. dont remember which 1.5 it is, seems like it does have a Vtec head though. reguardless, its slower that my 3gee weighed down with a couple of passengers and my sub box. a few weeks ago he blew the engine, i'm guessing he didnt add oil. it would dry start every time you started it. well it did throw a rod so i think i'm guessing right. it was a bad buy from the start anyway. it was once turboed, raced, and then sold with stock parts. it'd idle at 2000 rpm even with the idle screw adjusted. probley O2 sensor. says he's getting a B16, not sure which one, installed. but its probley just all talk, i'll have to see. i'd be afraid if he has a car with more power, he's a terrible driver.
    Keep it HONDA. Or at least Asian.™

    Re: Flame On!

    yay for more flames =)



    Civic is a downgrade from an accord..but since this car shares a chassis that is used for the integra, it means it is a GREAT car to create a great machine. I just took out the s.t sway bars out of my accord and I drove it around..OMG it was a POS. The sway bars made the car a completely different handling car.

    Yea it definitely feels cheaper.. but then again almost ALL newer hondas feel cheaper nowadays. Don't worry there will be a few items in my interior that aren't cheap... =X

    Never heard of a D16C1. D16A1, maybe?

    I wouldn't say it's a downgrade. Civics are well built solid cars. I've said it before and I'll say it again, if I had the money, I would probably buy a 92-95 hatch.

    Werd. Anything suspension/chassis parts will interchange. That rocks ass. Put some ITR brakes and such on her. 5 lug = yum.
    No projects. Life consumes my time and money.

    Im glad you like the flaming!
    I can vouch for the ST. I have ST springs and ST bars, never go back, and the ride is better then stock. (thank god for great roads down here though).

    everyone and their mom has the hatch. I love the hatch but..the little luxuries of this ex make it a whole lot better as a starting base.

    -power windows
    -power locks
    -sunroof
    -power steering
    -vtec motor :P


    beyond that, i would take the hatch Si anyday but it is like the type r, a wanted item which makes it hard to find a clean title car.




    as for 5lug...no thats too flashy and too much unsprung weight. GSR brakes will be sufficient enough...or type R 4x114.3 =)

    Man, I leave the board for a while because of school, and I come to this? Bah Busted. I sure hope you are able to do something magical with that civic. Maybe it'll become as worthy as the good ol' busted_blue 3g was. One can only hope.

    (There's some 1/2 ass flamin' for ya.)

    That's got to be the cleanest living DX I've ever seen.
