Hi guys, I'm a newbie and I just got a Civic '93 LX. It's kinda lame because it's a sedan and it's automatic (groans). It has 16 valves, so i'm guessing it's DOHC. Oddly enough it says it is SOHC in the manual. Shouldn't it be twincam if it has 16 valves? It has an AIWA cd player.. that's the only thing im proud of hehe =) i installed 2 more speakers on the back so the sound is good... kinda simple but good. Even though i plan on upgrading.
Yeah yeah but i can't complain cause i got it for free as a college present. Here's a pic of it:
My Car (http://www.geocities.com/nimchip/mycar.jpg) EDIT: Check down in the msg to check out my car, since clicking here won't work.
I'm gonna try modifying the exteriors, then the interiors and then modifying the engine.
Any ideas on the exteriors?
I was thinking Spoiler, exhaust, foglights lol, body kit maybe? but im not sure which are the best of each since im a newb. Any help?
I don't like airplane spoilers (that's what we call them in Puerto rico) the alluminum ones. Maybe a carbonfiber hood...
I'm thinking $2000-$3000 will go on that. I'm kinda poor and don't work so the less the better heh.
The interiors: Maybe the seats, the gauges? bah i dont know. Need help on this.
and finally the engine lol that's the one thing i dont know how to mod, where to start, etc. I was told the first thing i should buy should be a K&N filter? heh. I was also spoken of a VTEC kit? Since my car is not vtec anyhow... also im not sure if this can be done but i would love to turn my car to standard.. i can drive standard well since i began driving stick shift.
I would to smoke all those mitsubishis out there hehe there's a lot of people with equipped "Mirage's" that are like Lancers here in PR, i dunno if you guys have those heh. Basically 7 of 10 street racers here have Mirage's ... bah!
