1985 Honda Civic 3rd Gen with trailer (for sale)

Here we have a 1986 Honda civic 3rd Gen, a rare car to see on the roads today.

This car came rolling into the garage with a lot of welding that needed doing and rusting bodywork. I fixed these problems and extended the rear arches also for spacers on the back. By using spacers it gave the car a very wide look from the back which definitely improves its tough look.

Engine bay:

The engine has been out, cleaned and painted with high temp orange paint. The engine bay was tucked on the right hand side to tidy it up a little and the large ugly air filter replaced for a much neater filter.
A new race spec honda civic aluminium radiator has been fitted along with fan and the engine bay sprayed blue.

Interior:

The interior was almost gone completely having been used on a farm previously. The back seats have been removed and two bucket seats have replaced the front seats. The dash and door panels are a mix of the standard car and the DX model for a grey and brown interior which works surprisingly well.
A new sound system take up the back space with custom mounting. An 8 inch sub, two 6 inch spkrs + two tweeters & two 10cm spkrs are contected up to a 2400 watt Auna amp.
A custom LED light has been fitted to the back of the car facing forwards with a custom wooded switch to light up the interior as well as the original lighting in the civic.
A strip neon runs all the way around the back window which at night looks awesome.
A new carpet has been fitted also

Exterior:

This honda has been sprayed up a Ral 7040 grey which is very slightly blue. I wanted to give it a rat look without going to far gone, but i am sure the photos are rather self explanatory. The plastic trim has been sprayed black and other parts carbon fibred.

Wheels:

The wheels are steel and have been sprayed sky blue & beige. These are very rare wheels and have the original centre Honda caps. The car would look even greater if these wheels were banded. Aluminium lugs hold on the steelies.

Trailer:

Recycled barn doors make the slats on top with a welded steel frame supporting it. The frame is then connected to a 3rd gen civic back axel with steel honda wheels. This is an awesome looking trailer. All it needs is a tow hook and then its complete!



The engine runs and the brakes all work. I am 95% sure that all the original electronics work also, if not would be easy to fix.

Only a small amount of work is needed to put this car on the road, mainly just finalising and fine tuning a few things.

THE CAR COMES WITH LOTS OF SPARE PARTS:

2 doors
front and rear bumper
engine
gearbox
boot lid
rear seats
trim
DX dashboard (rare)
etc

Will need to be trailered away.

Feel free to ask any questions

Hello folks I'm having an intermittent problem with my headlights coming on by themselves.

This is happening with the engine switched off and no one in the car.

It has happened twice now.

any ideas how to sort this problem ?

Cheers moley

See you next year.

As a lot of you know, I'm heading off to Australia. It's been counting down for ages but now day is very nearly upon us. I fly out to Sydney tomorrow.
Obviously I won't be at any shows this year, but I will be back and will attend lots of shown next year to make up for it.
See you then.

Yet Another IS200 to be Turbo'd

by jeffrosie, 08-12-2021, 08:58 PM

Hi guys, been on here a while now looking and reading what you'll have been doing to most fave Lexus in the country.
I too want to go down the turbo route, but need help and advice as I go along.

From what I have read, 4-6psi boost is the max the stock engine can take - given the toothpick conrods.
Also no ECU needed upto for this level of boost, just a map sensor voltage clamp - the black box as sold on here by P.Lindblom.
Just need to construct a manifold - probably log type.
Get a turbo - T28 with adjustable actuator set to 5PSI
Construct turbo out pipe to mate to catback exhaust as sold by 2fast2cool2 on ebay. Exhaust already on car and sounds great.

Engine is still healthy at 95K and just had a full service. I'll do a belt change in the summer. Doesn't use any oil and still pulls well. Just had MOT so all in all - good nick.
May need a clutch, so what uprated clutch assembly do you'll use? I had read/heard that std Celica GT4/MR2 Turbo pressure plate and drive plate is a bolt on! Can anybody confirm?
Also read that Celica 1ZZFE green injectors are a direct bolt on with a very slight increase in cc? Do they help and not over fuel with just the blackbox?
Probably more questions to come
Cheers Guys
