1991 Civic Hatchback DX

-217k miles
-92 roaring horses!
-Grey in color, sporting massive 13-inch wheels

It is my first car and have been driving it for about 4 years now. It gets about 40 miles per gallon and probably runs about a 19 in the 1/4 mile. :)

Well, I have considered it but I kinda like the underdog prescence of a modified Thunderbird over a "my grandma has two of those" Mustang. :) The SC I should be getting in about a week is modified enough and is basically as fast as a new automatic Mustang GT anyways. It ran 14.2 at the track with basically no traction until part way into 2nd gear. The Super Coupe is rare, in fact there are only around 1,300 5-speeds in the '94-'95 version. Besides, why just have power when you can have power AND luxury? Oh yeah, and this is much more bang for the buck since it's going for $4,500-5,000 and the insurance is much cheaper anyways. It just seems to be a more logical choice and I really do love these cars.

I test drove the '94 SC 5-speed already, and I also test drove a 2004 Mustang GT 5-speed, and for some reason or another the SC just seemed more exciting and it's nicer in my opinion.

The aftermarket for the Super Coupes and supercharged Cougar XR7s is pretty large now, and I have already lined up my next immediate aftermarket parts for it, namely suspension components and an aftermarket twin screw supercharger from Autorotor, which should put it into the higher 12s with some nice tires. :cool:

The MR2 listed in my sig. I'll get some pictures up soon, but it is fast...

Sounds like a great car (looking at your sig)

exept for the sub and amp.

"FAST" is relative to what you're accustomed to. :sly:

True, but 'fast' isnt just acceleration, I would imagine his AW11 would handle quite well.

I would imagine his AW11 would handle quite well.

Quite would be an understatement if he's using some quality tires. Plus his CLAIMED hp would excel that lightweight to some good speeds. But I really don't see how a k&n filter got him 60 or so hp

Dont forget the custom ECU and HKS exhaust.
 
Its mainly the ECU.

BTW, the 20 Valve in there stock is rated at 160 HP, so its only about a 40 HP gain.

The car currently has decent tires on it, but I'm gonna need to swap them off cause of snow.. :( Yes, I'm a driving that in the snow, cause I am insane :dunce:

The car handles quite well, and feels very very solid at 90 MPH (highest I've gone, mostly cause I can only drive at night cause of work). I can rotate the car by just letting off the gas in corners, and if I want to play around, can just mash the gas after a little lift of it, and just spin the read wheels.
 
Yes, that is correct. NOW READ WHAT IS DONE TO THE CAR.

It has a DIFFERENT ENGINE IN IT. Read things before you post, honest to god.

The Supercharged MR2 from 1987 has 145 hp & the NA has 122.


your right the AW11 4A-GZE was only 145hp.

but the 16valve 4A-GE engine had 125hp , 20valves had as much as 165hp.
 
Yeah, though it will be a few days...

I work till 5:00 PM, and it gets to be night at around 4:00 PM. Wednesday, I get off at 3:30, but well, I still don't have enough time to take pics.... so Thursday probably. I'll get engine and interior as well.
 
mmmm silvertop 20v... i was thinkin of swappin one into my corolla...i was also considering the 4agze but i think i need a new hood to clear the intercooler
 
It was custom designed... in house, and sold out the back door. I can't remember the name of company the designer was associated with, but its a fully programmable one, and I have the software if I ever feel the need to modify it here or there.
 
You expect me to believe that? You're either ridiculously stupid or your lieing. Personally I think your lieing, because you got ripped off on some "sport chip" you bought on Ebay.
 
No, you are just being cynical.

The chip was installed by the previous owner, the fact is it does work, I've looked over it, tested how its worked the engine, and it does in fact work, much like the 20 valve in the engine.

I just got the software loaded, and its a Redline ECU 882

I would never buy something like this off of Ebay... hell, I wouldn't by pretty much anything off of Ebay.

If ya want, seing as how you are in Idaho, you can come look at if you are in the Spokane area :P
 
Does everybody on this site have a better car than me?!, i drive a 85' Holden Gemini, its ugly, slow and no matter how much i clean it, it remains dirty. And to top it all off, no wreaker/part manufacturer in Brisbane has parts for it, despite being a all Australian car! AAargh... so frustrating.

When i finish my degree and get a real job and a real car.... and show everybody, show everybody (simpsons)

Wow, fifteen posts in two over two years... thats gotta be a record
