Soo I finaly started work on the Civic...

some of you might remember me aquiring a 90 Civic Si for $300 in november last year. well after a winter on my lawn, the snow being melted and warm weather sorta uppon us I desided to jump elbow deep in the project.

now to recap, I bought this car from a friend that mannaged to break a rod and puncture the oil pan.

so first thing I wanted to do was assess the damage and see if it was repairable.

so after pulling the car off my lawn (with the crx :icon16: ) I jacked up the civic and took a gander under the car... oil pan punctured... peice of rod still in oil pan... not good.

I start removing the exaust manifold to get to the oil pan to get a closer look.

well after an hour or so I get the back heat sheild off the manifold to expose a 2"x.75" hole in the block... well guess i'm gonna replace this motor...

not sure what i'm dropin in yet...

90-93 LS maybe...

big OUCH! that sux man, wanna show us some pics of the motor? would be interesting to see hehe

Yeah that would be interesting to see, post some pics about that. What are they plans for this car, race, looks nice...what? I mean just another daily driver that looks good, or a full race car?

pics please.


mmmm probaly a 90-93 ls engine, very reasonable and good for power.

here are the pix

can i buy the oil pan!!!! j/k looks like a fun project

Evan

looks like the start of a nice project car :D

you bought that car for $300? Good deal (even though the motor is shit) Man, i need to find a nice shell for myself. Every hatch i buy is more expensive than that and has a lot of rust. I need to get my ass down south :rolleyes:

yeah 300$ get get's better too since the interior Is MINT! the radio still has an uncut wire harness.

haha nice find man!!! good luck :)

mmmmmm.....red x's!

Nice car man! I want an Si!! :(

where you located?
want to put a dohc zc in there and sell it too me (=

canada... just above Maine.

canada... just above Maine.
:lol2:LOL - when I first read this I was kinda like "oh yeah...Canada...that big ass country north of us." - but now i realize that by explaining north of Maine you were giving us a pretty close approximation of your location. :lol2:

sastanley <--- :loser: :cool: :rofl:

Nice projecet dude! That Si looks to be in great shape for being so far up north...no rust or anything! :thumbsup:

no rust... this thing has quite a bit in the quarters and the hatch... but it's pretty solid.

but it's a beater.

So far motors i might drop in are

d16Z6 with 200 000km
Rebuilt D16A6 with 20 000KM
or D16a6 with 200 000km

just wanted to give you another high-5 on the $300 find :)
