Over the weekend i picked up the civic from Henry, and boy am i looking forward to it. Here is what i know about it (stolen from henry’s FS thread) The Motor was rebuilt by the previous owner with OEM Honda parts@2-3k ago. MOTOR. -B18B1 block, Gsr head which is port n polished. -DC header straight piped to a vibrant muffler (not bad sounding at all) -CCC tuned Xenocron ECU. -BBK Single stage induction manifold. -Blox 70mm TB. -short ram intake. -Golden eagle fuel and a pressure regulator -Innovate wideband. -External fuel pump. _This car is awesome. Here are my plans:_ -Ditch the bumpers and mold the body lines -pull the engine and have it rebuilt or totally replace it with something else, maybe a K series. if i keep the engine i want it build for low boost 10-12psi -re-do the engine mounts (they were done half ass) -re-wire the whole car -all new gaskets (guy in australia sells them) -new suspension bushings or totally swap it out for something newer -powdercoat every nut and bolt, all suspension, engine parts etc. -4x100 front and rear disc conversion -put the battery in the rear -new fuel cell if i can find one or fabricate one in the spare tire compartment -rims and tires -half cage and seats, harnesses -exhaust, maybe straight out the fender or under the pass side door -gauges (probably a racepak) -shave the engine bay and make the engine clean enough to eat off -respray the entire car (i’m really digging the silver color below) -And i’m sure a lot more on top of all of that ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/2AACBCDC-7CD5-49BC-9AF2-50AFB21F1944-312-0000001747A1D0E2.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/2AACBCDC-7CD5-49BC-9AF2-50AFB21F1944-312-0000001747A1D0E2.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/656C84DE-C523-4EF1-BA58-97ED6F9DDA2B-312-000000183F980DB7.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/656C84DE-C523-4EF1-BA58-97ED6F9DDA2B-312-000000183F980DB7.jpg) Here is a couple finished ones i’ve found and really like: ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/5C18E2D7-50C3-4614-A3FC-E9D50E9B9D35-312-00000017BEF2A915.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/5C18E2D7-50C3-4614-A3FC-E9D50E9B9D35-312-00000017BEF2A915.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/FirstGenCivic.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/FirstGenCivic.jpg) ![http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/images.jpg](http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h135/jacobennis/images.jpg) ---
