My 1992 Civic CX w/B18C5
B18C5-EH2

Yeah I know this is The Civic WAGON forum but I just realized I never posted a dedicated pic topic for my 92 CX. Some of these pics are recycled/whored from H-T and the link in my sig (well all of them really) but I picked out a few new ones taken recently as well as some old faves.
I bought it as a rolling/non running hatch back in 2001 with a OBD0 hackjob B16A swap so I immediately stripped it down:
Got it painted:
Got it reassembled with all new trims, GS-R brakes, B18C5 swap, Spoon SW388 wheels, blah blabber blah:
Here are the new/not seen pics from 2010:
Old-ass VIS c/f hood still looks retarded glossy:
Engine bay detail - this is not your current tucked, shaved, etc. bay. This is circa 2002 baby:
Basic interior. Yes I need to repaint my ECU cover lol.
No headliner. Yes I need a dome light cover lol.
Uberdata-driven two-step toggle switch:
Aluminum a/c bracket and often maligned CTR N1 crank pulley:
Chillin' in the garage next to its older, more civilized brother:
...and finally my "two car" garage makes room for three when I park my 92 like this:
Specs - only a few minor details have been changed since 2002, but otherwise the car has remained unchanged since I built it:
Body:
1992 Honda Civic CX
Completely color changed from Milano Red to Vogue Silver Metallic
Body completely smoothed over
VIS "second-gen" C/F hood
Brand new front fenders, new front and rear bumpers, new hood, all brand new O.E-Honda exterior trims including mirrors, side skirts, roof rails, front lip, door sash and belt moldings, hood cowl piece, windshield moldings, rear 1/4 glass trims, washer nozzles
O.E Honda antenna block-off plate
New headlights
Fake Vision Amber corners - still water tight y0!
Powerplant:
1998 Integra Type R B18C5 engine
AEM 99-00 Civic Si intake
DC JDM 4-1 header with 2.5'' collector
CarSound 2.5'' cat
CTR N1 pulley
Uberdata-chipped/tuned ECU by turbogixxer/Kenny
Tanabe Super Medallion Racing Spec exhaust (the full stainless one)
Skunk2 camgears
Integra GS-R double-wide O.E radiator
Transmission:
2001 Integra Type R S80 LSD transmisson (replaced 98 unit with brand new one in 06?)
OE ITR clutch disc with ClutchNet double diaphram pressure plate
DC Sports short shifter (flat-blacked for O.E look)
Spoon Shift knob y0!!!
Suspension and brakes:
Koni Yellows
Eibach ERS coil-over springs with custom rates - 425F 550R
Integra GS-R 14mm rear swaybar
All four corners of Integra GS-R suspension arms including LCAs, spindles, including rear and larger front disc brakes
Integra RS booster and 15/16ths non-ABS master cylinder (direct bolt-in, no line bending or reflaring)
Intgera GS-R 4040 prop valve
Brebmo slotted rotors
Earl's Stainless lines
Energy Suspension full suspension bushing master set installed ( what a pain! )
Skunk2 front upper control arms
Wheels/tires:
Spoon SW388 15x6.5 +45 offset - totally ANTI-hellaflush y0!
Falken Azenis 205/50/15
Kyokugen 7-sided lugnuts
Interior (funny):
1997 Integra GS-R "Type D" black seats (only running front 2 right now, but I have the backs)
1992-1995 Civic Si/EX cluster with 9000rpm tach
1998 Integra Type R steeing column with tilt and leather-wrapped steering wheel
O.E Honda radio block-off plate
A/C block off button
No carpet, rear seats, headliner, door panels, interior plastics, etc.
I think I'll be buried in this car. I plan on teaching my son (currently 20 months old lol) how to really drive with this car. Auto-Xing in the dinosaur class when he turns 15, etc. I've been offered some pretty ridiculous prices to sell it, but I've never been tempted. Closest it ever came to leaving me was when our house deal almost fell through because the bank was being assheads.
I know its not the en-vogue tucked, shaved, slammed, 0 offset 8 and 10'' wide wheels with 185-width tires, and yes it still has the Tanabe fartpipe on it, but I still love this car. I still think it has stood the test of time well so far. Only change I could see me doing (probably ever) is swapping the muffler out for something a touch more understated (flat black oval canister comes to mind) but the raw sound of VTEC screaming through the Tanabe for some reason still appeals to my old ass.
Thanks for looking 'n' shit.
