Too bad you went all Junk2 parts. You said that you think its original but having Skunk2 everything doesn't make it original you could have bought so many other rare parts that's the great thing about Civics is there's so many parts that it's easy to keep your car individualistic. Why you would go all Skunk2 like you're some 19 year old kid I really don't understand by the way Skunk2 is American not JDM

+AGuerrin78 thanks for the comment, and you know, to each their own. These are the parts I wanted and they make me happy. I think pretty much all quality builds look pretty darn similar now, rare JDM parts or not, most "JDM inspired" cars tend to look the same. Yeah, someone may have an exclusively rare bumper, or wing or whatever, but you get what I mean. It's kind of like the whole "track car look" now. So many cars are built with wings, splitters, diffusers, sideskirts, etc and will never get close to a track. I could hate on that like you are on my car but that's not how I work. I love the "effort" people put into their cars, being a snobby jerk is such a waste of time. I never judge a book by it's cover anymore. But either way, thanks for taking a look!

I got my Milano redone with one owner and only 115k in 2012 too. Loved that car! Had to stock di6z6 and she ripped was such a fun car to drive. Paid 1800 bucks for it back then. 😢
Love it! I bought the very first 1991 Tahitian Green Civic si to make it into the state of Tennessee in October 1990. I sold it in 1995 and have regretted it ever since. Nice car.

That's so cool.. I wish I would've followed these cars when they first came out but I was in high school and don't know anything about car s
I also want to point out. you're literally the ONLY one that actually puts the annotation in exactly where you said. seriously, THE BEST, content here folks!!!!
Had one of these 1st car i bought. Back in the day 2008
Wow... I purchased the 90 Sedan. Only issue is I don't have the engine you have but it's such a joy to have such a car from such an era.
Nice easy rescue. Great rescue for a car that deserves it. Totaled an 88 hatch. Got a CRX 89, swapped in a 91 Si engine. Down to 1985 lbs half tank of gas, no a/c, no carpet, a few splash guards removed, interior partially removed. Great autocross car with Hoosier A6's. Love my girl of 25 years. CSP and hate when Miatas show up.

I have the ktuned traction bar for 3 years now and still running great. I daily it in the socal weather. Only issue was when new and the joints tight they bind and rattle after it rains. Then the noise goes away after 1 week of driving. I like the fact that you can mount a smaller civic dual core radiator with supplied brackets on the bar. Only thing I would add to make the bar 100% great is dust boots on the joints.

Man, our cars are so similar. 1989 hatch, b16a (obd1 tho), same konig heliums, same skunk2 front ucas. I went with st suspension coilovers (looking to go a bit stiffer now, esp rear, may check out the skunk2s), st suspension rear sway bar, fastline tall short shifter (HIGHLY recommended). I have the innovative traction bar. Just bought an eBay exhaust. Have a jrsc kit sitting on my shelf. Anyways, great car, awesome to see some modified ef hatches kicking around and getting love!

It was pretty fun little car. By no means a racecar but it was a pretty quick spirited daily... i drive a Speed6 now but would love to pick something like this up

A lady bought the car so i said to my self: When something is going to be yours it will be. So i went ahead looking for some Honda. And i found this little thing. And i thank God for this and for giving me something Better... Saludos from Puerto Rico💪 So don't feel bad. At least we have one😁👣🙏☕
Also fresh build I still don't believe you that it's original paint because it's absolutely amazing, wonderful build! I think you should go OBD1 chipped and tuned and paint the valve cover crinkle coat red or black. Nice work!

I've been wanting to, but I also have an extra cargo cover and was thinking of lifting the material to expose the wood and hide the hinges up the material. I'd use low profile hardware, then glue the material back down over the hinges so they would look nonexistent!

Hondas are the dopest God sent cars because they are reliable as cars should be🤘
Looks great ! its always a treat to see a nicely maintained earlier civic, most of then by now have been trashed or beaten to death by now. I really like the way it sounds, not to raspy and droning like a lot of b16's one routinely hears. I'm in the stages of planing out my ef sedan build. At first I was thinking I would do a b-seris engine. But now after pricing things out I'm really interested in going with a H22a from a JDM prelude/accord. That way it will come with a factory LSD and good power while still leaving it stock and reliable.

If you do heavy spirited driving, I would inspect your brake rotors more frequently, I've heard and seen drilled rotors crack prematurely, looks good over all though! If you do replace the resonator with a test/ straight pipe it could possibly make it more raspy and possibly drone at lower RPMs, just puttting that out there.
@GarageBuiltHondas

Thomas Peterson I definitely do! And the resonator elimination will be reversible just in case that happens. It seems to hang a little low so I may just have a muffler shop modify either the header flange or the exhaust itself. We'll have to see!!
