bought a 1994 1.5litre Civic Breeze for $3000 pics

**timmya2** · 20-12-2004 11:16 PM

dunno if this is a bargain or not, but seems to be so.. as the body is straight and drives well considering its age. My only main concern is that its carburated. Is there any much room for modding these model of civics? Any info on the 1.5litre breeze would be helpful as not alot of people know about em. Most breezes are 1.3l.

Um also for some reason these model did not come with air-conditioning or power windows.

Another thing is that it has 490,000ks + on the clock but thats mostly highway kms as the dude i bought it off lives in wollongong and travelled to sydney everyday.

Other than that its pretty good. Love the fuel milage.. and the gearbox which was reco'd 12 months ago.

What i wanna do first is get it fully serviced before i do any modding on the engine. Anyone know a good honda specialist near paramatta?
Cheers

edit: forgot to say that black thing on the fender that looks like a scratch is just bird poop

havnt have time to wash her properly.

i was like wtf!! when it u said u bought it for 3k, but then i found out it did 490000ks lol.
strange that ur car didnt have aircon. mine was a 1,3l engine and it HAD aircon =]
as for moding, dont do anything to the car. dont do a service dont do anything to it. save ur money. drive it till it dies then change to an EFI engine. best tihng u can give ur baby.

btw: looks good except for that front right fender. hehe

490,000k's....... i think its time for a b16a

or maybe even a k20 hahaha

**timmya2** · 20-12-2004 11:24 PM

expensive though are'nt they

**Javed** · 20-12-2004 11:25 PM

Put a B16A in her

**timmya2** · 20-12-2004 11:27 PM

yeh thats around 2k huh plus installation which would probably be another 1k..

3k all up

**Weq** · 20-12-2004 11:32 PM

b16a. dont service it. wi9ll mwork ouit very cheap

looks clean for 3k

**Eclipsor** · 20-12-2004 11:54 PM

looks good for $3k. Wierd that it dosn't have aircon. You sure it's just not working? It wouldn't have power windows. With that sort of mileage I would think you're going to have to save your money for possible repairs rather than modding.

$3k for the car + $3 or $4k for engine swap = $7k. which is about what you'd pay for the same car in really good condition with low k's.

edit: Looked at pictures again. realised you're missing all the air con setup. wierd.

490000 kms !!!!!!!!

**--eskimo-eg--** · 21-12-2004 12:14 AM

nice deal man, i think she looks great, smooth body panels, but im not really sure bout the mileage thou, maybe its best to change the engine

**JDM Element** · 21-12-2004 02:20 AM

good find mate! Even tho they highway k's, don't forget on the freeway it would be constantly revving at around 3k, so it would be quite worn imo
looks like a nice example to do a engine conversion along with some other things while ur at it eg, clutch, header etc.

a k20a in a eg6 = monster hunter!

but, saying that this car has 490,000+ kms on it, although that is a lot, it shows that this car has not had a hard life and has not been thrashed.

i have only seen that mileage on taxis and trucks before. it seems impossible to have that on a breeze! shows the mighty strength of the

engines.

nice find anyway timmya2, the body is in great condition and is a great host to a new engine setup. look at all your options though, you dont have to go b16a or k20!
