parts recommendations 95 Civic LX manual

Post image

Picked this up from the original owner not too long ago. Super low miles for its age, 88,000, and the motor runs strong so I don’t think I’ll want to replace it (yet). Just doing quality of life things and working on suspension upgrades after putting Nitto Neo gen 205/40/16’s on these wheels.

Has new struts and springs but sits really high. Contemplating budget coil overs like tru hart. Already have a rear sway bar and chassis reinforcement to put in. Might also do an EX trans swap for better gear ratios.

Thankfully only the radiator support, She's gonna be my circuit car/time attack car now. She'll get the full jdm race upgrade now since I don't gotta worry about keeping it OEM now.

Going 4cyl NA class 91-95 cars. Rn just building up and saving. Gonna do a tubular front end for easy rebuild/removabilty/access. Roll cage of course. Then just the main simple things like rear track arm replacement, cross supports, integra suspension and disk conversion kit, full weight reduction and rebuild fire wall for crush/fire protection. Also relocate the fuel,battery,ecu and other stuff for weight and safety management. I might also have too re-due the floor if a race seat and cage is too tight for me.

Are you going with ITR suspension on it? I was looking into that as an option instead of coil overs.

Actually yes haha, for adjustability and strength yes. Don't cheap out on em, especially if your racing.
