There is a guy at the Avalon Heights Apartments with a tubed out honda hatch back with an all motor sticker on the back. I bet his car would give mine a run. It looks like a 95. Not the newer ones that are more rounded. The civics of that year are equiped with B16s right?
What do u think an all motor honda tubed out would run? he didnt have his air filter sticking out of his head light lamp area though. Carbon fiber hood... light weight rims at stock height. Dont know if its the stock engine or swapped. I would assume he has at least head/cam combo on the stock engine if hes got it tubed.

One thing to know is never judge a book by its cover.what exactly does the all motor sticker look like? it doesnt have a dollar sign and say winner on it does it? if so i would stay clear of that.none of the 92-95 us made civics came with a b16 except a del slow.talk to the guy if you see him id be interested to know what hes got.keep us posted

Ill dont think it had the dollar sign on it. The all motor sticker was in the center of his back bumper. The rims are 5 star black the paint color is gray carbon hood like i said... red calipers red race seats stripped interior. His tires were no that wide though so hes probably traction limited to low 13s high 12s. I saw the car yesterday parked outside near my cavalier. There are a couple of slightly modded LS1s here a 2001 GT a 87 Grand Nation Turbo (would love to see if theyve done anything to it) and that civic hatch back i just told you about. Im curious to see if that civic would be faster than my Z.... that would suck Guess Ill find out sometime if hes a resident. May have been visiting.

you sure about the tube frame or was it just a roll cage theres a major major difference and if somebody is going to invest the money into a tube frame it wont be driving on the street. As fasthatch said the 92-5 Civics didnt come with the b16a motor only the jdm adm (australian domestic market) and european domestic markets did and 2 of those markets came with b18cs depending on which civic you bought. Anyway if you really want to know if the car is fast but cant find the owner crawl under the car and look at the axles if its just 2 axles and no intermediate shaft its just a d series motor and probably isnt too fast if it has 2 axles and an intermediate shaft its probably a b series and a snail exhaust manifold makes it even faster and certain heads will make it even more faster however it is possilbe to use zc diffs with 89 teg intermediate shaft and inner axles while using d series outter but damn thats rare about 5 people in america have gone through that trouble. Im drunk and rambling.
