[Civic EC9] First car, First Jap', First Honda !

Post by Okami »

Hi everybody !

Here I will you present my actual car, a Honda Civic GL of 1990.
It's my first car, I bought 2 years ago, she has now 160,000 km (around 100,000 miles) on the clock, it's not a powerful car I know it but she is very charming, light and nervous, I have lot of pleasures at its wheel,
in short she is also my first heartthrob :)

Its specs/upgrades at this instant :

- Weitec coilovers (brand made to KW)
- 5 strut bar UltraRacing (rear lower/front lower/front tower/rear tower/room)
- Speedline 14" wheels
- rear seat and fitted carpet removal, interior tar take out
- Zenky Racing sandwich plate and gauges (still finish to mount)

And others things just for nice look, front and rear lips, paint of bumpers,...

Next up are prevent, new wheels (Its in travel :) ) and true tyres to fit with, real take out of the rust, breaking more strong, fiber bucket seat, adjustement of the carbs, 4-2-1 manifold, etc... according to the amount of money in my wallet :lol:

I thinks that the way of my granny GL will take a really turn to the race style :twisted:
Moreover a come out to circuit has prevent for soon.


At now the pics ;)

Nothing except the gearing replacement, I'm just back to France & my budget is low after my UK trip... :lol:
