  • Here is my 1991 Civic Si hatchback that I built to look like something that would have come from the 90’s era.

    Super sick video man! Just curious how hard was it to get the chargespeed lip to fit on the USDM bumper? Thanks!

    91 Civic Si was my first brand new car. I bought it for $9800 plus $800 for AC. It was a fun car to drive. Nice job restoring it.

      @@gio.rodriguez It was a bargain then too. New model was coming so dealer was unloading 91. Used once were going for over 12k. Mine was green as well. Color of money. I started my own business and was using it to deliver machined parts. Best deal ever. Now I have 2014 Boxster S. Also fun car to drive, but not as practical.
