Well Box may not have found a car but I found one. Got this 95 civic as a "beater" that way I don't have to worry about my celica as much.

I ended up getting my 7GC shifter for $20 shipped, then shortly after sold the car. Was also after buying exhaust, kind of ironic that once I decided to keep it and start doing some modifications is when I ended up selling it.

I had thought about one of those, but the windows are too big. That and they're made in Ohio, something about buying a Japanese car made over here is unsettling to me. So is it the DX or EX and what transmission does it have? -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

I can't imagine an automatic civic. It's a little rough around the edges but I'll put a bit of money into it and it will look great.

Do the mini-me swap and it'll be faster than the Celica.

I just need it to run forever and get good mpg. I was surprised by how light these little guys are. The only things I'll do to it will be appearance stuff, and clean it. I swear the previous owners never cleaner the interior at all. This post has been edited by 1994Celica: Jun 28, 2014 - 6:11 PM -------------------- JDM Part King

that civic has alot of potential lol box atleast those windows are tinted lol they are pretty big. and i have been looking for the short shifter. couldnt find it. i used mobile tho so will check on comp now.
@1994celica - i had a civic. destroyed it after i decided to take it off road lol engine still worked though. other than it looking a bit bland (interior) it was quite fun to drive just noticed pegs comment. is the 7gc one a straight swap or something? there is plenty of them (£30 in UK) This post has been edited by MisterRay: Jun 28, 2014 - 6:57 PM --------------------  "whoever said progress was a slow process... was probably talking about me" |

The hatchback of those years is ok.
Yep, the 7GC is the same. Also changing out the rubber shifter base bushings for the aluminum ones helps considerably. -------------------- 2001 Miata LS 5-speed

The 7GC shifter comes with the bushings, they help a lot with the feel.

I'm thinking that they will light the floor wells, and I will mount them under the dash,. maybe., we will see what angles I can figure out, but I've got extra doors, so even the whole there doesn't bother me that much,.
Today I also got my front lip!!!   It shipped uncut! |
