So I am pretty bored, thought I would start a build thread. Now Im sure not much is going to happen over the winter, as I have no place to work on the car, and no way to get it anywhere. But come spring, when I put it back on the road, Im good to go. So first, some history: I bought the car in fall of '03, yes I have had it that long. I bought it from the second owner. It was a completely unmolested 1992 CX. Stock 8v 1.5 and all. Just before I bought this, I scooped a 93 EX coupe, that had kissed a guardrail pretty hard. I bought the EX with the intentions of swapping the parts into my 1st Civic, a seafoam green 92 LX 4dr. Anyways, swapped the motor into the hatch(Thanks James) and the most part of the EX’s interior. I then had a madrel bent custom 2.5" exhaust run from the header back, and have a Ractive carbon fiber muffler(or lack there of). I have a Ractive short ram, and Ractive plug wires(see where I was going?). So since then, I have sold the 17" rims, in favor of smaller and lighter 15" Konig Kolors. These pictures are from summer '09 and a couple are earlier. 2003 ![http://shift518.com/picture.php?albumid=85&pictureid=407](http://shift518.com/picture.php?albumid=85&pictureid=407) 2006 ![http://shift518.com/picture.php?albumid=85&pictureid=412](http://shift518.com/picture.php?albumid=85&pictureid=412) ![http://shift518.com/picture.php?albumid=85&pictureid=411](http://shift518.com/picture.php?albumid=85&pictureid=411) 2007 ![http://shift518.com/picture.php?albumid=85&pictureid=406](http://shift518.com/picture.php?albumid=85&pictureid=406) 2009 ![http://shift518.com/picture.php?albumid=85&pictureid=409](http://shift518.com/picture.php?albumid=85&pictureid=409) Plans for the spring are: -Tein S-Tech Springs -KYB GR2 Shocks -Ported & Polished Intake Manifold -If funds allow, a turbo setup I already have most of those parts, just have to put them on. ---
