This post starts with the 1987 Honda civic hatchback that I bought. After I got it, I instantly scoured the internet looking for upgrades... BUT I DIDNT FIND ANYTHING!
So, after months of searching, I bring to you, how to upgrade your 1987 Honda civic.
1- Engine
So you want a bit more punch in the engine? with the car's age, first thing to go is the crappy 3 barrel keihin carburetor, and give it your choice of 1 or 2 weber carbs. 1 carb: easy enough, get the conversion kit from ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/Honda-Civic...IAAOSwKUhc8ZWA
(Or look up 1984-87 Honda civic weber conversion kit) 2 carbs: this gets a bit harder. I did lots of calling and looking to find this one. Peirce manifolds is one of the last companies to make a dual carb manifold. Don't believe me?? Look at how the holes line up. https://www.piercemanifolds.com/category_s/96.htm
(or look up pierce manifolds, check brands, and 1984-87 Honda crx and civic dual carb manifold is what you want)
For this dual manifold, we get 2 weber 40s from ebay https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Authent...UAAOSwbihZxiOw
(or look up weber 40 dcoe)
2- interior
spice it up or replace it. Thankfully this is decently simple, on just eBay, we can buy replacement carpet and a couple other things, but if you need a new piece of the dashboard, a sun visor clip, or say a mirror, we will need to buy used on eBay, or check the salvage yard.
3-sportyness
want a spoiler?? Empty your pockets. Cant find one for the sedan, but one for the hatchback. To get a hatchback duck tail spoiler, we will need to check jhp usa, they have the spoiler we need https://jhpusa.com/products/osaka-jd...ivic-hatchback
(or search 1984-97 Honda civic hatchback spoiler, go to images, and look for a 84-87 civic sporting the spoiler, and click the link)
Next, some jdm watanabe wheels this is easy, just check eBay, rims are 500-1000 dollars, you will need 15's https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-15x8-in...kAAOSwPb9akK5V
(or search watanabe wheels or ebay/ internet)
4-Writers note Q:Wow! Nice list of mods, have you done any of these?? A:of course not XD could never afford this list, let alone the maintenance needed to bring the civic to standard so these parts will help
Q:Where do I find a 84-87 civic??? A:Unless you get lucky, probably not. You will likely get it from another state, unless you live in a decent sized city. I'm in a more rural place, so this car was rare.
Q:What are your civic's specs?? A:1987 honda civic dx hatchback, 103,504 miles, 1.5l engine, original carb your welcome
I hope someone can do these mods one day, I'll never get the chance... AVENGE ME
