Brads Build
Hey guys. I thought I would start my own build thread just for shits and giggles.
I got my white 1990 Honda Civic Si automatic about 2 years ago. I paid $500 and drove it home, well my dad did. It had been sitting for a year and a half and cranked over and started like it was running yesterday. It was a pizza dilevery car so it had about 200,000 miles on it, it now has 218,000 miles. The first thing I did on the first day home was oil change, which was needed, plugs, wires, full tune up, ect, ect. I also cleaned the interior because it was moldy from sitting. The drivers seat was completly ripped off the rails so I temporarly put a '89 Si seat on until my uncle weleded it. Other than that the interior was and is mint. I don't get how someone didn't rip it, I was very suprised.
The car had prevously been in an accident. The whole passenger side was different colors underneath. Someone had painted over the trim and mirrors and door handels aswell. It had no rust but a few dents here and there, aswell as two big ones (both size of a basketball). I had to replace an axle and all the door locks and ignition because the only key I got only started the car. It came with CRX Si alloy rims which were also painted over. I sanded them down and was going to paint them silver but gave up. I'm going for 15"s. Between the auto tranny and timing out it was very slow. First I got the timing bang on, I had to move the timing belt one tooth, then with a timing light. Then my dad and I put a '89 Civic Si 5 speed in. After all that I swear it gained 25hp. The motor is bullet proof, it doesn't burn oil and feels young I guess you could say.
The first "peformance mods" I did were:
~Grant steering wheel (really O.G.)
~NGK plug wires and "V shaped" plugs
~Intake
~Integra disc brakes
~Integra booster/master cylinder and prop. valve
I also got a full stereo for about $500-$600.

I'm working on a D16Z6 swap currently. I have all the parts I just have to rebuild everything now. I'm hopeing to make 130whp. I already have an intake and I'm getting a header (probably DC Sports) and an exhaust. Also my head didn't come with a "VTEC" valve cover so I got one of them too.
Anyway I'll shut up for now and show some pics.
