Hell yes, '90s Civic tune-a-thon! Always wanted something Honda from that era because of how easy they are to work on and make stupid fast. Plus fuckin' double-wishbone suspension front and rear on an appliance car is awesome, old Hondas handle so good. I know dick about their engines though (other than B18/H22/F20/2 being good engines), being more of a Toyota guy, so I'll just cheer from the sidelines.

Every one of those that pops up for sale around here is either riced to oblivion and costs $texas or is just run into the ground, rusty, and is still $2k minimum.

Use the hood to cut out patch-panels for the rear quarters.

This is the only time ever that I actually want to hear a lovely fart-can exhaust. :allears:

The exhaust studs on my Celica (head studs and down pipe) look just as rusty as those and I've taken the manifold off several times without any problems at all.

There is a severe lack of downforce on the rear of this car, and you know that's super important on a fwd car right bro?

What are you thinking for a wing; big, swoopy fiberglass or multi-level aluminum park bench?

Construction is one of those businesses that will tell you "it'll be ready in 3 months and it'll cost $40k" and you know it'll actually be 6 months and $80k.

I've never known ANY construction to go according to timescales or budget.

My job just built a new building that was constructed on time* and under budget** :downs:


*got a temporary occupancy permit approved at 11:42am the day it was supposed to be "done".

**because they "borrowed" $1.2m from the renovation budget of another building so they wouldn't have to ask for more for this one.

Hubcaps are terrible, full stop. Every car I've had with hubcaps the caps have been thrown into the trash as soon as I got home.

lol I may not have many friends but at least mine aren't completely worthless assholes. You desperately need to find a way out of Indiana.

The Civic looks great, any plans to paint the grilles on the bumper in black? I think it would give the car a more finished look, but that's me.
