up for sale is my 1996 honda civic dx. Idealy id really like to trade this, with cash on my end for something newer and a little bigger.

So here it is.  
1996 honda civic dx  
d16y8 motor and transmission swap ( ex motor with roughly around 45k on it since the rebuild)  
lowered on egay coilovers.  
16’’ black rota gt3, no curbage with good tread on all 4 tires.  
civic type r lip kit all around  
black housing headlights  
6000k hid’s  
fake ass mugen grill  
acura ls integra gauge cluster swap.  
home made cold air intake.  
after market speakers all around  
ex stock cd player  
ex arm rest, center consol.  
clean ls acura inegra front seats.

im probably forgetting a few other things, but ill post up if i remember.

_ **the good:** _ awesome gas mileage( mid to low 30’s depending), ice cold ac,minimal rust for a wny 1996 honda,doesnt leak or burn a drop of anything

**_The bad:_** When the motor was swapped the gas tank was not and it throws a code, some dents scratches and dings, front and rear bumpers are not painted, little bit of rust starting on the drivers side quarter panel, and its a little bouncy over bumps because of the shitty coilovers.

sorry for the night pictures with the old wheels.Ill try to get some newer ones up.

i did all the work to the car. i did the motor swap, with the TB an WP. its got a nice stock clutch and runs real smooth.

this is the solution to the inspection issue  
[http://technet.ff-squad.com/code91.htm](http://technet.ff-squad.com/code91.htm)  
when i did the swap, i didnt even think about the FTPS, and i never got to fix the problem before mike traded cars with me.

this car would benefit ALOT from a real header, and an EX style, under-car catalytic converter. if anyone has questions about the car that mike cant answer, feel free to PM me.

if you read it says im not really looking to sell it, id rather trade it and the inspection issue is not a big deal.Ill prob fix it before i even do anything with this car.

> [@95LS1t](#):
>

the mileage on the body is unknown because the cluster is swapped. My guess is not too much because there is minimal rust and the underbody is super clean and undercoated.

i love the hids in my car, but since the head lights are not projectors they dont have a legitimate cut off. If i keep the car i plan on doing a retro fit. 6k or lower is the best for visability id say. Any higher and they are too colorful and obnoxious.
