yup!! i recently (monday dec 21) purchased a cypress green pearl 97 civic lx sedan (EJ6) with tan cloth interior.

from: private seller
price: $2600 OTD
mileage: 174XXX
bluebook: $3390 (in perfect condition)

has a bit of body damage (mainly the tow hitch dent/hole in the front bumper) but nothing a trip to the junkyards will fix and a few stains here and there. cant be perfect since its a 97. but yeah.. this will be the wife's car for a while and i've already installed my old sound system in it. deck, amp, sub. and this thing bumps harder than it was in my integ! well, here's some pics!!





yeah.. i gotta clean up the engine like how i do with the integ :p




dont mind that pink box in the back.. that's where the wifey keeps her reusable shopping bags.. GO GREEN!! (no pun intended)


and don't hate on the pink dolphin!! at least the civic keys has a seibon lanyard n_n






gonna pick up a few things for it (broadway mirror, new oem floor mats, etc..) next month.. and yes.. i will be putting my time attack fat 5's on this bad boy!! lol!! maybe throw on the oem fogs, jdm front lip, window visors, jdm grill, si-r bumpers and sidemarkers.. if the wife will let me.. im sure i could convince her..


as she says no, right next to me as i type :(

Wow that's a good price. Sucks your wife said no to the mods. Would have been cool to see another build thread from you.

No slamming this for a while. Its the wife's car for now till she gets her TL-S.

Update:
I convinced her for me to put a front lip and sidemarkers. LOL!

Oh! I forgot to mention, when I was doing an oil change the day I bought it, there was a blue oil filter with an H on it. Good find eh? (n_n) I changed the spark plugs as well. Gonna change out the spark wires, dist cap and rotor later. Axles are worn too. The pass is a bit leaky and the driver's is cracked, about to be leaky.

Yeah. Oh well.

This weekend imma crack open the vc and check out the timing belt. I hope theres no problems in that area. I just dont wanna break out the timing light. Lazyness takes the win all the time...
