hi everyone

bought this 1989 honda civic 1.4i off ebay yesterday for my new project
now ive grown out of bodykits decided it was time for some real performance instead of the 1.2 8 valve

here it is! first job is to replace the rear arches ar they are completley rotten common on the older hondas









my plans so far are:

b16a vetec engine transplant
rev hard full turbo kit with maybe a gt35r when i can afford
JGE low compression pistons
JGE forged connecting rods
head ported and polished
custom 3" exhaust system
black rota slipstreams 16"
bilstein coilovers
front and rear strut braces

will post new pics up when i pick it up on monday
