So back in June I bought a 96 Honda Civic hatchback. At $850, I thought it was a steal. Until I learned that Id be doing a motor swap in order to get it running.
Most people live their whole lives never having to attempt such a project. Due to my ignorance, I had to "put up, or shut up". Because the Charger as a daily murked my wallet.
It took about 6 weeks to complete (July to mid-August). But now that its done, Im enjoying +30mpg:orangelaugh:
As for future plans, Im considering a few different options. N/A and cleaned up. Or a F/I primered out sleeper.
The car handles pretty damn good. This car drives as if it was on rails. The acceleration isnt the greatest. And I cant stand the fart can the asshole before me installed. But the aftermarket support is plentiful and the parts are cheap. Ive priced a new Jackson Racing supercharger kit at $2000. Not too shabby. Imagine that in a car that weighs less than 2400lbs.
