My dream car

Post by thinkskater007 »

I'll start from the very first day that I got the car that I always loved.

92 civic si

I know that when I was looking I wanted a Si eg chassis with zero rust for a good price.

I searched far and wide for three straight months. Nothing but every other trim model came up.

Finally, in west Atlanta GA, I found a si that was in decent shape with a stock engine.

It was the guys Autocross/daily driver. He accepted my offer and I drove down there to pick it up.

Thats the earliest picture that I have of my car.

The mods were kept to a business only because theft is bad in Georgia.

It had the following mods when I bought it

-PIC 12k/10k
-ASR rear subframe brace
-Blox LCA's
-Spherical end links
-Unknown strut bar
-Stainless brake lines
-Hawk brake pads
-DC Teg front brakes
-Skunk2 front camber kit
-Nrg quick release
-Personal steering wheel
-Ebay header
-Aem intake
-Hx wheels
-Blox lugnuts
-10mm spacers
-ARP studs in the front
-Apexi exhaust ( spray painted with the tip cut off..... bought it like that.... wtf? why?)

And over all the car was solid for the 3k I paid for it. No smoke, no grinds etc...

The craziest part is how perfect the seats were.

Image

I impatiently bought the good looking stuff that I could never afford when I was 17.

Fogs, corners, duckbill ..

More pictures to come and to think , this was over a year ago lots have changed....

I loved the really clean seats but civic seats are insanely uncomfortable. Plus the don't look good.

So I was on the prowl for the something else. I love the simplistic style of teg seats. Plus they bolt in and are much cheaper then racing seats. I found a set that was on a stock cx hatch in Des moines IA in the snow.

Image

Maintenance wise , replaced every oil related gasket and the oil pan since it had a nasty dent. Also replaced the clutch master cylinder and the slave cylinder. The mileage was 172k when I got it so this is why I wanted to replace a lot of things.

Replaced the fluids, importantly replaced the trans fluid with syncromesh.

And the blox LCA shock bushings were TOAST. So I bought some Black works racing LCA's

I love Hx's. They are my single most favorite honda wheel.

However, previously I have had a set for like two years that I polished.

Image

So needless to say I wanted something new.

Friend of mine had a set of 16 track R's ( always feel like a pirate when I say that )

Mounted them up and definitely made the car jump out more.

Image


And I got the polish fever again and decided to polish the track R's as well.

Image

They didn't turn out as well as I hoped but I will back through them this winter.

Also I got some BBS wheels that I tried out as well


Image

Also I wanted to keep the spacers with my car , so I had to install ARP wheel studs in the back as well but this is the end result.

The engine bay wasn't to bad but the paint was peeling of the valve cover so i shaved it and tagged my favorite skate shoe brand on it.

Image

Image

I left that cover on and the paint started to fade. A friend of mine sold me this one.
