well the time has come to THINK ABOUT selling the hatchback. its been nothing but awesome to my girlfriend and i in the year we’ve owned it.
little history… we bought it on ebay, sight unseen from a guy in cape cod, mass. it was 100% bone stock, and automatic, but it wasnt going to be auto for long. since then i’ve modded it a little. heres a rundown.
1991 civic dx hatch 155k orig D15b2 motor.
no oil burning, perfect compression.
MPFI conversion
95 civic ex (D16z6) intake manifold/TB/injectors
91 PM6 ecu
91 Si distributor
90 civic LX cluster with tach and proper redline and actual car mileage.
cut factory springs
96 civic HX wheels
185/60/14 falken ziex 512 (60% front, 40% rear)
VW Jetta/Golf lip modded to fit
propped OEM wing
dual bend short shifter
ES shifter bushings
5-speed swap
stock, good 89 dx clutch/flywheel
89 DX trans (grinds in 2nd and 3rd if you abuse it)
you CANNOT tell it was ever an auto. the 5 speed swap is flawless. it has an auto cluster
stock blue interior with hatch cover w/6x9s installed.
interior is a 9/10, no rips in the seats.
stock header, stock cat, stock exhaust in great shape, stock airbox w/o resonator.
car gets 36-38 mpgs combined highway/city and is very quick for a stock 1.5
it has VERY little rust, and is a very rare/uncommon color. the rust is at the bottom of the drivers 1/4 panel, the upper wheel wells are very solid. its a 91 so it has factory painted bumpers.
i would like $2k for the car or would trade for a very close to stock 92-95 civic sedan/coupe or stock integra. i dont HAVE to sell it. its reliable and gets my gf back and forth to work and class every day. she drives it almost exclusively, as i DD my GSR.
ONE OTHER THING, you will not find another 5 speed EF hatchback for sale with power steering. im serious, the hatchback was not offered with a 5 speed and power steering, this has it because it was originally auto.
only real problem is the a/c condensor seeds to be changed and the a/c recharged. plus its got some dings and scratches, which is be expected from a car thats 1almost 17 years old.
here are the pics.
