My friend took the pictures of the car. Must have been the angle he took them at.

Next week will be fun.

Change of Plans..slightlyGoing home on Thursday night or Friday morning.
Plan to start the wire tuck of the head light harness.
Pick up set of steelies
Pick up a set of Rota C10's 16in if the guy is home. Sold to someone else.... 
Maybe even take a trip up to by penn state main campus, to grab a B16 cable trans
edit: Found a Ls cable trans with a DA linkage for 250 might get that instead...
Will the DA linkage work ?

More updates:
Waiting on information on the wheels.
Talking a deal right now for a ls trans and axles.
Also trying to work on a deal for some used hasprt mounts.
Which would you choose?
LS trans and axles for $300
b16 trans for $300
The most expensive things right now will be the motor. But i might cheap out right now and get a B18 and save money to buy/build a b20 shortblock.

X3 on the B16 trans, way better gear ratios, and some have LSD.
Axles can be had from so many places its sick, ebay, summitracing, or even DA axles work i think. Find me some cro-moly 4wd axels (left and right are same size, has a midshaft like a B/F/H/ZC, rear would be nice too) Then, my friend, you are skilled.

Time for a update I guess. Living in Philly and going to school here gives me no real time to work on my car. But starting next week I should be working over nights as a valet. So i figure while shouldnt i do something productive then ... Also i need to stay away.
So first thing I decided to do is finally start the wire tuck. Hopefully will have updates next week. I have wires and electrical tape and the civic manual incase i cut the wrong wires  . And my laptop for guides of how other people have performed their wire tucks.
Working 11pm-7am wednesday and thrusday
My goal is to tuck at least one side of the car this upcoming week. If I dont finish I can just leave the car parked their at night and drive it during the day. Who neads headlights during the day
i just came from training so it should start next week. Also i will try and borrow my girlfriends camera and update with pictures. I figure it wont hurt to tuck the head light wire and the fuse box before i do a dpfi to obd1 vtec conversion. Negotiating right now with a guy for a d16z6 swap w/ 110k complete. he wants $500 im trying for 400-450. Will also sell the hydro trans to recoup cost.

I think my car was originally a brighter red, because the door jams dont match the car. Which also make me think the car was in a accident before. If you look at the one pic of my car the trunk and the right side dont line up to me.

all the sedans i ever had sagged in the back, you definitely don't have that problem, the rear end is really blank looking without the civic on the center panel. Mine wont say civic eather, but its smoked lexan with the marquee and back up lights hidden behind it.
Looks good with the fat 5 to me, why do you want to change? 15" is one of the best sizes for these cars. Tires look like dunlop SP sport FM901, let me know if i'm right.
