Back in the Honda game
Well yeah sort of....
I should be getting a 1991 Civic Hatch this weekend. Needs some engine lovin' but that shouldn't be too bad. Getting the stock, blown engine and the replacement already installed. Its got a big bad 4spd tranny in there. Its going to be my daily driver so I doubt I do anything major to it. I may swap that 4psd out for a DX or Si 5spd. But hey, who knows.... Pics to follow this weekend.

Should be fun to mess with. I really don't want to mess with the 6, so this will have to work!
Forgot to mention that the guy put a new clutch in along with a bunch of other new parts. He couldn't get it running right, so I'm picking it up for a pretty decent price.

This is what they go for around here. Finding one at about $1000 isn't real common.

I'd throw in a d16z6 engine/tranny, you'll get some decent getup and go, great mileage and CHEAP.

yeah I had a hatch, it was nice, but i just got tired of not having a/c so i sold the car and motor(d16y7 with a y8 head i think, can't really remember, turbo and all goodies) and am in the process of either buying an eg hatch or coupe.

Danng. You guys are paying too much. Around here, I can get one for less than $400. Yeah, they run. The only thing is, sometimes, they are riced the fuk up.
Remember that these are cable tranny guys. |

Didn't get it today. The guy I'm getting it from had it over a friend's lot and couldn't get it out because it was blocked in by other cars. His friend was supposed to move the cars out of the way.
Ah well. Maybe tomorrow. Got a new ECU in for it. Now I'm hunting down a 90-91 Si gauge cluster. Need a tach in this thing....

Here it is.... in all its glory.
http://gallery.digitaldeviation.com/v/justin/civic/ I haven't "taken" delivery yet. There's a few things that I need to think about. The windshield needs replaced (min of $218 installed from what I've got quoted so far) Front seats need replaced That rear rust needs taken care of(I'm not a body person) Good news is that the engine is the D15B2 (DX) which is a whoping 92hp vs the 70hp std D15B1. I do get the old D15B1 with it as well (hole in the block).

Welp. She's in the garage. I got the engine back together and swapped in a new ECU (the CORRECT ECU for the engine). Bought a battery charger/starter. She fired up on the first crank. Its missing exhaust from the header back so it was LOOOOUUD. I had to shut it off since its kinda late.
Off to a good start.  Look at this beast!

Well I cleaned it out yesterday. Found about $.40 and part of a -dollar bill.
 Started it up some more. It's got a CEL right now, but seems to idle ok. It was almsot out of gas so I didn't try drving it. Went out today and got a gas can, some gas, Techron Cleaner and some SeaFoam. Tomorrow she's getting an enema....  I'm trying SOOOOO hard not to buy unneeded items. I bought a 90-91 CRX Si gauge cluster last night. Waiting for it to arrive. Found some nice bronze HX wheels locally. I'm trying to tell myself not to get them. But they have newer tires on them, they're light and they're 14". ....must....resist.....must...resist....

And the plot thickens....
So I got to take her for a short spin. It moves, but hesitates as the RPMs climb. Its got 2 CELs right now that I've got to work out. And here's the good news..... I'll be picking up a B18B for F R E E ! It has a bent rod so it'll take some rebuilding. But since I'm not in any hurry I figure why should I pass on this?

Well I figured out at least one of my CEL codes. I have the automatic version of the ECU. Well when you plug an automatic tranny ECU in, its expecting to see the lockup sensor. *smacks forehead* Son of a..... So I ordered another off eBay. Hopefully tomorrow I'll get to look into the other code (code 8; TDC Sensor).
The B18B will be delivered this weekend. The rebuild of the B18 may be slow until winter, but at least I'll have it.

So I got the hesitation issue resolved. Fubar'd distributor. The distributor had so much play in the shaft its a wonder it started. So I rebuilt one I had laying around with some of the parts from the dead one. And viola! No hesitation.
Pu my CRX Si Gauge Cluster in. Woohoo! I have a tach! Now I just gotta figure out why the temp gauge isn't working. Though I think it was dead before.  Still haven't got the damn ECU I ordered 6 days ago from eBay. Considering the ECU is coming from Kent, OH (same f-in state) this guy is a slow ass or trying to rip me off. Bastards. Next up.... Wheels/Tires & Exhaust.

Talking stock wheels & tires. Looking for a reasonable set of HX or VX wheels. And stock exhaust for now. Once I get the B18 ready to drop in, I'll change out the exhaust.

If I ever decided to pick up another honda it'd be that gen 4 door and put a h22 in it.
I always like the 4 doors from that year for some reason... Nice pick up though and with just the couple things you bought you should be pretty satisfied for a LITTLE bit at least... It's hard giving up dumping money into cars even when you say that it's "just my daily driver"... I almost went nuts and started buying stuff for the subaru but managed to control myself.
