Amalan Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 its a 1995 civic ex coupe with a 5 speed. i wanted a manual to practice/ have fun with since i dont feel like tearing up my friends cars. but im planning on fixing it up and make it look nice to resell over summer when gas price skyrockets and these things will sell instantly. well anyway here it is when i brought it home. iffy yeah i know but it was cheap as hell. i need to fix the rust on the quarter panels. i plan on putting an aftermarket body kit on this sometime in the future. guy put a new hu and mb quart speakers all around. doesnt sound too bad. this weekends project was to clean up the valve cover. before after also decided to change out the cluster bulbs with vleds smt led bulbs my next weekend project will be to clean up that engine bay i know its filthy and order headers and possibly a catback.

Amalan Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 fast car lmfao yeah dont think so thats what i have the bimmer for. but i get like 35mpg tho which is sweet as fuck. im not getting an obscene and obnoxious body kit. im trying to get some rims cheap off craigslist so well see how that goes but eventually i want the car to look similar to this one and yeah i know that valve cover sticks out like a sore thumb lol so nice and clean in a totally dirty engine bay but i think it turned out well from rattle canning it with pepboys high heat engine enamel.

bibby>Chode Posted January 7, 2008 Report Share Posted January 7, 2008 Clean engine bay as follows... Soak in degreaser. Spray really hard with water hose for 10minutes. Soak in degreaser again. Spray really hard with water hose for 10minutes. Take to car wash, and hit with high pressure soap for 1minutes Then soak in degreaser, let set for 5minutes, spray that of with high pressure saop for 10minutes. Go back home, and get you a bucket, and a rush, and scrub the shit out of it. Then repeat the first things. That's how i did my white civic, which turned out very very nice and clean.

That's how i did my white civic, which turned out very very nice and clean. thanks when i get some free time i will try to do that. my friend gave me some engine degreaser/brightener so ill give that a shot and use your technique. hopefully the weather here will stay around 60-70 degrees so i can use the hose. How did you get the red painting on that man? Are you planning on painting anything else? I think that looks good man! hand brushed on with just normal paint/enamel. im not sure if im going to paint anything else for now maybe an ebay cai or sri tube and paint it either white or red.
