Nancy Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 i saw this 95 honda civic cx hatchback with only 87000 miles, bonestock. ive never owned a eg/eh civic before and thought id give it a shot. good thing is i have a lot of leftover ITR parts that will swap in it no problem. what do you guys think? the good: new paint, no dings at all, clean interior considering the age the bad: mis-matching wheels, no power anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben. Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Could be worse. This'll be a perfect k20 candidate. JDM tails. Lower. Rims of your choice, EX doors w/power crap, duckbill..lip kit..yea. Motor swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Humphries Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 how much is it? shouldnt be more than 3k. im sick of hondas being so damn expensive. even a wrecked civic hatch is 4k with an LS swap lowered on springs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

compuvision02 Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 I wish mine was white. :( For some reason, EH2's seem to have the nicest interior for how old they are, if bought stock. No idea why. My friend got one with 180,000 miles and thing was immaculate inside. Mine had 65,000 and was mint. Wierd. Good luck! Did you sell the EJ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 new paint often = recently wrecked. Not that being in an accident is a problem, but check to make sure you don't have half the car covered in bondo or that the frame is straight. power nothing = less power being diverted from the motor to run all that other crap. nice clean car, but for me the HB is just so overdone. Thats why I went with the sedan instead, it's a little less common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TS John Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Good luck on the project, Nancy. You got a big enough driveway for all them cars, haha? If you need someone to hold onto them for awhile I bet you could convince Rick to take a few off your hands. x3772, are you kidding? Sedans are way more common -- among the commuter crowd. In fact, both are hella common. We drive hondas. So does everyone else and their mother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xeryon Posted June 13, 2007 Share Posted June 13, 2007 Sedans are less common as tuned performance rides. They are more common over-all, but look at the parts market, everything is designed 2dr or 3dr, with the exception of items that directly bolt to the engine there are not nearly as many parts that fit the sedan body. To buy the cat-back exhaust I want I am going to have to order it, then take it to a shop and pay them to weld an extension on to it so that it fits. HB and 2dr and the aftermarket parts are everywhere. Practically tripping over them there are so many options Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that being in an accident is a problem, but check to make sure you don't have half the car covered in bondo or that the frame is straight. no accidents at all, i ran a carfax and inspected it myself in and out. ive owned so many hondas so im pretty sure what to look out for.
