Lol sionce the fourm crashed and i lost all my posts reckon i will post whats happend since

civic needed another engine. fixed that
cb failed smog. got $1500 for it from the junkyard cali retirement program where they crushed her
bought a CRX without an engine and trans for $150 as a project (still sits untouched)
bought a 89 mazda 626 with a bad trans for $50 as stanced out turbo DD (awaiting fundage for trans and tags)
and the civic is basicly my folks daily driver and i hate that damn car has so many problems all the time most unreliable pos ive owned... cant wait until i have the mazda going so i dont have to drive the damnned thing

Nice man, it's black and lowered so thats a good start. I've always had weak spot for this gen(specially the sedan). Any plans? You should make an MRT in the other automotive section.

ill get an mrt up in the next week or too took me long enough to make that one haha and thanks man...atm im painting over all the ghetto flat black spots with some gloss black

at about 340k miles today the AC compresser seized . but it lasted a good run!

[Dark_Accord]

brand new oil pan and gasket, and repainted the intake manifold, also changed out the 02 sensor, that made a huge difference with the 02 sensor!

[Dark_Accord]

new plugs, wires and door handle

[Dark_Accord]

legend visor installed, sway bar bushings installed

[Dark_Accord]

when in garage tonight cleaning up tools i decided to mount a work light on the rafters, while up there i found my sunroof visors, i had 1 legend and 1 accord.
the legend one is a bit narrower (same length and fits perfectly) and has a Dark bronze tint to it, vs the accords light greyish greenish blueish w/e it is lol...well since my car is brown i decided to use the legend one...

and decided to go a little crazy with it after polishing it up (was full thoses pesky white scratches )

pics of the differences and pics of finished product




(note the reason the legend one looks shorter is due to the way its leaning on the chair, they are both = in heights )



and finished (well i want more but i dont have more atm! need to order some CB7tuner decals soon!)





yes pics sucks but ill post better ones in daylight when my camera can function better ha

[Dark_Accord]

better pics of stuff... new genuine honda key ftw look how worn out mine were in this comparison








got a great deal on them from my friend Forrest, he sells pairs for $15 shipped if anyone is interested hes a member on here but cant think of his screen name but if anyone wants a set i will let him know

[Dark_Accord]

lookie what i got in mail today

[Dark_Accord]

well i orderd a new ngk wireset for it and gonna get new plugs today.

and damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn i just read my whole thread started at 3am... its now 6am.....ive changed my mind many times about keeping and getting rid of this car. but im pretty sure ive decided to keep her for good now to people wondering (after putting all the money ive invested so far it doesn't make since to sell!). car runs good lately and handles great now...sure she still needs alot of work but what older car doesn't!. also noticed ive thought ive had some big problems with the engine in the past and they have all turned out to be simple fixs (rod knock was exhaust leaks and poorly adjusted valves, head gasket was indeed a headgasket leak but just retorqeing the head but it back up to 180 compression across the board!. frame rot wasnt as bad as i had thought and was easily repaired, along with alot of other things i thought were horrible i freak out easy and go to worse case in my head >< )



but yeah long story made short is

im keeping this car for many years to come and love her much . i still want a newer DD though
