Si's in the US just have the D16A6 non-VTEC.

 

Ahhhh yes, that's what it is.

 

I was waiting to see if you'd throw in a b series ;-)

 

Mayb a new hatch is on the way?

 

Ya 555 I remember when these where new and I saw one that had been lowered and well I still remembered it. But to think I'd ever own one, Nope never crossed my mind back in the day. But man is this lil hatch fun, to drive and work on. Finding parts is the real wake up call though, nothing for anything b4 92 ;(. Same thing in the junkyards here, I found an intact 89 wagon w/ a tweed and brown interior I've gotten some parts from.
From what I understand the 88 run didn't have a Si it wasn't brought back till mid 89, Just my twist w/ the badge it's off an 85 CRX.
You had a ZC ? man I really like that hood on them! They're CF repops here, but the price is almost what I paid for the '88, but that would look sooooo goood! . There's also a B16A/5spd M/T for sale w/mugen chip

88k on the clock= 1,750.00 now that would be an improvement But it's not for me it's for my daughter Right

 

Sure... Smirk... smirk... You said that already!!!

 

The Civic wasn't started all week and sat in the backyard, while the Charger slept in the garage lol. Well I "was" going to take it to work this morning but the ol' Fit battery was DOA. So off to get a new battery 51-R> 500 cc amps> 90.00 w/tax I tell'n ya the dollar value is pretty damn bad; Shheesh it's alittle bigger than a lawn mower battery. Well I was very suprized when I started it and it hadn't hit the second cylinder and she was running! Chris said a strong battery makes a huge dif. in the way the car reacts and this really made a huge difference in how quick it starts now.
So this weekend I am blessed w/ another detail job on the facilitations VP's truck, what a cream puff 27K on the clock. So this one is really going to Shine & prayerfully bring in more work! GISGATT

 

Aww swap it already! :-D

 

Tow Hook came in today, ya I know it looks like a kid drives this thing................come 2 think of it

 

When she's done with it, you'll have an easy time selling. Hell, you've got me itching!

 

Thanks! That is my plan now. To sell and get a nice CRX and drop a Japan hot rod motor in it. Just a plan tho.

 

Ya I bought a set of covers and this is 1 of the few times I did not like what I purchased. After removing 1 of the APC covers and seeing it was cast aluminum
I just refinished what came w/ the ol' girl and that was that, No cost.


Repositioned the height of them so they're not like up under the dash.
Going to find somewhere I need to go today and take her for a run

 

I wouldn't lie to ya Mike!

Something else that is functional that you could probably trick out a bit would be some fat grounding straps from the chassis to the negative battery terminal, couple points on the trans, block, intake manifold and head. Then an additional dedicated fusible link from the alternator to the positive battery terminal.

Improving voltage is one of the most important and often overlooked things you can do in an EFI car.

 

Thanks Chris I do have some braided strap and will do that, sounds like time well spent. And what amp rating would you advise for the F.L.?

 

150A would do it.

 

Got an itch'in for bronze tint for the very clear windows. Called up a shop in VA. Beach to look @ the Suntek 18 and 40% bronze. I will prob. go w/ the 18% as night driving is hard enough w/o mak'n it worse. All depends on the over all appearance and for now w/ the almond white color of the car the bronze will have a clean look.

 

You have your numbers backwards. Tint % is based on how much light is let through... it's backwards to how we naturally think of it. We automatically think how much is the window tinted, not how much light does it let through. So 5% is the darkest of the dark and 70% is what most factory glass is tinted at (you can't really see it until its broken, most have a bluish tint).

The car should look good with the subtle tint.

 

Or, he's just older like me. For some reason the industry reversed the way they measure tint about 15 years ago. I put 80% on my '88 Mustang GT. Back then, that meant that it blocked 80% of light.

 

Well went pick'n after work this morn'n and got a few things. 1 thing we have needed was the metal cover that lays on top of the spare tire found
that in what has become part of the our hatch now; a 90 civic wagon. While I was look'n around I spied the shifter knob so now the console & knob
are back in use in our hatch, the spare tire cover, splash shields, rear view mirror cover, a nice set of window cranks interior lighting, clock and vents!
Maybe I should add the wagon's VIN to our hatch's haha.
So after I got home we put together a trampoline with 30mph winds. Me and the kids all had a good time for the most part till I tried it out lol that was ugly!
The lil' ones loved it though.
Painting the head liner tomorrow after church. Going with a little lighter color it's a almond color now and it's going to be an off white tomorrow.
It's sure not a fast car, but I put 150+ miles on it this week @ a little less than 1/4 tank.
The gauge has to be lagging it's good on gas but not 50+ mpg, I wish!
Well prob change up some pix to show the progress soon.
Cyallater!



Makes the interior feel so much cleaner.

 

Nice weight to it heavier than the last knob. Shortened the height of the shifter because the threads are @ the top in a brass sleeve instead of @ the bottom in plastic.
