My new Civic

Yes, thats right, I just purchased a Civic yesterday night. It is a 1993 Honda Civic CX with 163,000km (for a 93, thats freakin good). The interior is in perfect shape and so is the engine, just teh body needs a bit of repair forf 5 rust spots. Either way the car is red so I was gonna repaint it so I'll get teh rust fixed at the same time. I receive teh car on wednesday, so by wednesday night or Thursday I should be able to post up pics. And I paid the car $2000 hands down for any of you wonderign how much it was. Wow everything is at the same time, last week I started my Auto-mechanics school(which I will be in for the next 16 months), then yesterday I buy a car, and today is my b-day lol. :rofl:

Congratulations on the car, man :thumbsup:

However, the average mileage is around 12,000 a year... Your car is 12 years old, your mileage is not great, it's actually about 20,000miles too high. But it shouldn't be a problem.

Five rust spots? The body needs to be repainted? 163,000miles? I REALLY hate to say it man, but that car doesn't sound like it's worth $2,000.

I hate to be the Dick here... But that's honestly how I feel.

actually he said it was in KM not miles, so 160000km is equil to about 99419miles. so average would be 144K. so it actually is a low mileage car. as far as the rust goes, is it ROT or surface rust? 2g's may actually be a better deal than you thought Wes.... but it depends on the body.. either way.. if your happy...good find.

I think that's probably pretty good, I'm not sure about the miles/km conversion of the US $ to CN $. I paid $1750US for my '94 CX with no rust and 164,000 miles. So that's really not too bad, you probably could have gotten it for a few hundred dollars cheaper though. And you've got a better engine than I do, I have the 70hp one where you've got the same one as the DX/LX models.

i used a conversion table to figure out the KM to miles... so i know its accurate.

Oh sorry, I wrote that before I saw your post. It takes me a while to get things from my head to my typing fingers :D I had to re-read the post when I realized the km thing and that he was from Canada.

lol, it happens to the best of us..

lol no problem...but to ZEDEX: I don't need to paint it, I just want to because the color is red and i really hate red lol..eitehr way, I am only doing it in November or end october. And it is surface rust not rot.

then yes i agree, you got a good deal... god job

Oh *slaps head* You're in Motreal... That explains it.

Well nevermind, that's a great deal then :thumbsup:

lol no problem..by the way, I wanted to know since my knowledge in honda is only average when it comes to stock, I have a 1.5L...does that mean I only have 70hp, I am not sure if it is teh same specs as in the United States

No, in Canada the CX has the same engine as the DX/LX models, it has 102hp. I'm not sure about the other differences (like standard or optional features). Us in the states got screwed with our CX's.

Nice..I thought I had the 70hp lol..beter for me( don't worry guys, pictures tomorow night)

Hup... Time for a Z6 swap, buddy ;)

For now it is pretty much stock..my first upgrade is getting the rust fixed adn getting it repainted in around end october then well just saving up till winter finishes lol(can't do anything when the snow starts)

hehe..i just noticed something this morning when I finally drove the car lol..I have no power-steering lmao..It's actually pretty funny but wtv doesn't bother me anyway,,just wanted to share that lol.

Ah sweet dude :thumbsup:

Looks like it will be a fun a little project... Good luck with it.

Very nice. You'll get use to the no P/S after a while. I was flipping out when I first got my car, and now it's weird to drive a car with P/S. I was really wishing my car had those side moldings after I put 2 big dents on both doors.

so now it is time to k20a swap time ????

so now it is time to k20a swap time ????

I'm pretty sure thats not an actual sentance.

Even if we understand..it is true that it is one of the worse made sentences ever lol..but back to my car lol, that would sound pretty good haha

K20A2 would be nice... Nice and expensive/difficult/time consuming/stressful/fast/powerfull/bad Ass :lol:

Take the good with the bad, I suppose...

You mentioned several time syou are going to re-paint it a different color once you fix the rust. However, you never mentioned exactly what color you thinking about or planning on paint it.

So I am curious, what color are you thinking about/planning on painting it?

I am still trying to decide between Blue and Black..not really sure..any opinions on the color would be appreciated..hopefully someone can help me decide lol..And yes I did realise that a K20 Swap will be freakin hard and expensive which is why if I were to even decide to do it, it would be in like only a couple years and with someone who has already done it. Even for me who is or almost is a mechanic(i am still in school right now for Automobile mechanics..almost done)..after seeing the trouble and the level of difficulty to put it in, I would be worried to do it myself lol

Just bought some mags off a friend and I put them on today!! They are a bit scratched but I will sand them and repaint them..but considering I got them for 40$ with tires lol..they are a great deal..My friend is loaded so he didn't care for teh rip..plus he drives a Volvo now lol..They are 14" by 6.5" wide so they stick to teh road like mad..plus that is really wide for 14's lol
