Hello, Im Manne

[manne]

Hey, I'm Manne.
I'm a 16(17 in july) year old Male from Perth, Australia.

I just Bought a 1993 Honda Civic GL Hatch, which I have uplaoded some pictures of below.

I'm new to the world of Hondas, and don't know what to expect.
So I'll have a look around the site, see what I can find and learn..but some help would me appretiated ^_^.

Well, let me know what you think etc...

Hey there really good choice of car. It looks like its in great condition, paint is really clean. How many ks it done?

[manne]

206 thousand...
Hehehe, those photos do the car GREAT justice (the exterior anyway)
The main things that drew me to the car, was the clean interior, and well looked after engine bay.
The Body itself has a couple of scratches on it, and not the previous owner, but the one before that, left the car out in the sun and the paints fading on the roof.

[STTICH]

welcome.

take good care of the car, EGs are lovely

[manne]

You can tell me that again , It's so comfortable and smooth..

[manne]

so what can you guys tell me about this model Civic?

Hi Manne, welcome to OH. Good choice of color and car. Civics are cheap to insure, run and modify (Have a look around in this forum and you should find all the info you're after and also a heap of cheap parts for it in our "for-sale" section)
BTW, Is this your first car? (guessing by your age, you're on your Ls or Ps?)

I know very little about civics (accord owner myself) but here's some basic info about your vehicle:
It's a Civic GLi Hatch which was manufactured from Oct 1993 - Sep 1995
It comes standard with1.5L SOHC 16 valve, 4-cyl MPFI engine
In stock form it makes an earth shattering 74kW / 133Nm
I think the chassis code is something like EG6? (someone correct me if I'm wrong)

People would suggest that you start off by getting to know your car, drive it as much as possible when you can and get a good feel for it. Once you're confident & comfortable with what it has to offer you might dip into the world of aftermarket modification. This is where this forum shines, heaps of info and DIYs on how to make your little hatch into whatever you want. We have people with experience and knowledge in "bling", sound system setups, motor swaps, suspension gurus, bolt on performance modifications, exterior body modifications, motorsports, the list goes on.

The best advice I can give you is to look around and start reading on this forum, use the search feature for your queries, as it's probably been answered before. Oh! & try to attend your local meets/gatherings/cruises, you'll get to see other folks with civics (EGs are everywhere!) & you can learn first hand from them.....damn! I rambled too much again .

Hey Manne,

Nice car for 16!!!

Your car is actually a 1991-1993 GL civic - Its powered by a carburettor engine. so as for performance gains, dont expect anything nuclear.

But for looks, its a very cute little car. Install a nice audio system (dont have to go overboard), drive it leisurely, and u'll be on cloud nine

[zpreme]

isn't it a GLi - should be EFI

[Joeyboy]

HIya Manne! another EG owner...WELL DONE on your purchase! u planning to do much with exterior/interior?

suggest getting good set of lowered springs and nice set of 17s wid low profile tyres and a basic aftermarket muffler (like a cannon) ... and d chix will start to notice ya

yeh as SiReal said, decent audio system will give it more rep points (as we say in Philippines - POGI POINTS, hehehe).

let us know your plans! enjoy...

[SiReal]

isn't it a GLi - should be EFI

Hey mate,
GLi = EFI
GL = Carby

Look at the engine, its a Carby

[manne]

SiReal, Zpreme sorry, that was my Mistake (late night posting) it's accualy a GL.

Joeyboy: I plan on a bit of everything. The Car itself is my First car, and I plan on learning about it. I wouldn't expect too much right now, but I already have a list of things to do. (1 of them is get the roof resprayed -_- expensive.)

Oh, and I already have a Girl, but those mods are a sure go (apart from the canon...but an exhaust)

SiReal: Yeah, I'm happy with it. and It already has a "Nice Stereo System", which is a JVC Deck, JVC rear Speakers, and Pioneer Tweeks, I'm happy with that.

Sensei: You got it!, I'm a L plater (will be on my P's in July), I've already had a look around the forum..but I turns out, I'm not good on Car lingo..and I know what things are, but not what they mean..so hopefully my little baby will teach me alot.

Well..that's about it..for now.

Oh Right, my plans.
Well forst off, The Body accualy needs a good respray(scratches, chips, paint of roof faded), So my First plan is to respray it...so my plan is to get a body kit, and have the car resprayed along with the kit.

Or, I can ignore the body for now, and get straight into the engine (which I know nothing about) and have a bit of fun...
