Joe's Almera replacement

[JClark]

I'm sure some have seen the sig, and here are the pictures!

It's a 1995 Civic LSi (1.5, non-vtec). Has 80k on the clock, 1 lady owner from new, full honda service history, EVERYTHING how Honda intended it, from the wiper blades, to the bulbs to the battery. Cost me £550 with 12 months MOT and tax.

The only things i've done so far include the front seats from a 93 Prelude (as you can see in the last shot), put my Momo gearknob from the Almera in, and a nice new JVC headunit as the standard Honda one was a bit dated...

non-VTEC yo!

Disgusted...

LOVELY
Loads of potential there mate.
Look out for a D16Z6 head from an ESi if you want Inlet Vtec.. its a pretty easy swap.

Yeah, these little fuckers are well trim. Very good find.

Does that mean you are leaving us?

 

[mera red gti]

noooooooo, good buy tho. bet it driver sweet as

 

[JClark]

Needs a bit of tinkering, it's only done 3,000 miles in the last year and i think it's suffered a bit from under use but it's nothing a good service can't fix.

Elliot, i'll be sticking around for a while, i want to see what corbs does with my old SRi plus i still have a wealth of GA16 knowledge to impart!

Would I be right in saying this is the model with fully independant suspension, but no ARBs?

 

[Sam]

give it a service and a good thrashing and itl loosen up

get a B18c in there fuck the D16

You're right on the suspension bit, not sure about the ARBs, as far as i know they have front ARBs (well, mine does anyway) but no rears as standard.

traitor lol

i was looking at these for my first car to be honest. good find

 

[tommo]

you took the stickers out the back

 

[VVLwezz]

good find dude, i agree on the old B18C in it too, or even a B18A, aaaaaaargh fuck it, H22 FTW

 

[JClark]

you took the stickers out the back

Sadly i had no choice, as they flaked off in bits as i washed the car...

Cov, there is no way is hell you could get insured on it for a first car, it's insurance group 10! For a 90hp 1.5! Utter madness.

We did the "Mini-me" D16 Vtec head swap.. It raised the compression, added inlet Vtec and made it fucking shift.
It used to anhiallate my SRi. absolutely.
Also it leaves the engine number intact so its not technically the wrong engine lol
