Sup guys and gals. I thought I'd share my (other) project car with you. It's soooo fun to drive. The engine is out getting a stroker kit and beefy cam. It should have about 60WHP when it's done. These little cars are so fun to play with because a lot of the parts from other Hondas will fit. The engines are so simple I can change the HEAD within an hour... Even though it's a Honda, I love it. Mike
What kind of engine is it...? I having a hard visualizing an engine with a stroker kit and cam only making 60hp... What was it before? 5hp Briggs and Stratton
haha very funny James. It's a little 1200cc four. The power killer is the exhaust manifold. I can get custom headers, but that's some MONEY.
I have a friend back in PA that was all about the old old old school Hondas. He had a 74 Civic I think, and a couple others. He said the same thing, they are incredibly easy to work on, and fun to drive.
:rofl: I'd like to get some Spoon wheels, but it's 4x120 and they don't make those. I can swap the hubs from an Accord, which I'm going to do someday. So maybe I'll put Spoon stickers on it...
nice! I love older hondas. That has to be the nicest 1st gen civic that I have seen so far We have 3 crxs now, all 1st gens. Picked up one last week for Mere's daily driver to keep miles off the sti: 1987 Civic CRX Si, 276k, and we are the 2nd owner just put some RPF-1 wheels on it (15x7), it came with these wheels: -- Brian
. i laughed really hard at that comment until i remember how balls out fast my old briggs go-cart was (it was later upgraded for an oddessy with a CR500 motor)
What year?! I had an '85!!!!! I kept the 400cc on it, but I can only imagine how fast yours was. Those things are AWESOME!!!! Don't you wish you still had it? They could go anywhere. I'm still looking for a Pilot in good condition. I never jumped mine more than 3-4 feet, but a friend of mine who had never driven it (and had no idea how fast it was) panicked, forgetting where the brake was, and hit a HUGE motoX kicker going about 25ish. He caught about 5 full seconds of hang time and launched a good 10' into the air. I almost pissed my pants I was laughing so hard... Good times...
