Hi,
Thought I'd introduce myself before posting the compulsory noob questions.
My name is Matthew & I've recently been bitten by the ED Civic bug.
Bought my first one, a very standard/plain white 88 2 door manual hatch around 6 months ago whilst I was looking for a cheap small car to get me to work & back.
I fell in love with the size, shape & handling immediately & then set about looking for a second car to either become a donor for parts, or to replace the "plain Jane".
I picked up my second grey? 88 2 door manual hatch about 1 week ago, which was someone's unfinished project - not running due to carby problems? (starts with heaps of black smoke & then dies out) but it has loads of potential.
My plan is to use the grey one as a mini project & turn it into something reasonable as a daily driver & then completely strip & rebuild the white one & make something really special.
First question - get the dual carbies reconditioned or go for a pair of webers?
