Here some of the items I have acquired since starting my project. Some of the items were found in cars that were being parted out while others were tracked down through contacts or on EBay. Hunting for these things is what keeps me interested. The items are NOT for sale unless otherwise stated:

Deluxe Gauges - tachometer and separate temp and fuel pods off to the side were available in certain CVCC models and 78-79 1200s with the 5-speed transmission. Will fit in any car simply by peeling back the faux wood sticker and popping out the plastic panel. Once the wires are pulled over from behind the speedo assembly they just plug in. One of the easier parts to find.

Wood Wheel and shift nob - Found in certain CVCC models and 78-79 1200's with the optional 5 speed. Come in two an three spoke varieties. This wheel was found in a wrecked car and the nob was from the board.

Overhead Console - Option on all models. The N600 coupes also had them but were slightly shorter. Found in a car sitting in a back field. The 73-77 models had a curved light

RS exhaust manifold - Available only in the Japan Civic RS. Is basically a cast iron 4-2-1 header. Found through the board and since sold.

Dealer Option leather wheel - 14" leather wheel available as an accessory. Bought from another enthusiast.

Pioneer roof mounted speakers - Clip into the metal portion of the body just below the head liner.

Pioneer Honda cassette stereo - Honda dealer option on the later models. Fits into the cubby hole under the dash. The stereo package came with roof mounted Pioneer speakers (pictured below) or speakers that mounted to the rear deck of the trunk models. Did some digging with a seller on Ebay who was selling the manual and as it turned out the complete stereo was in a car in a back field.

AM/FM radio - Option on the hatch backs. Several radios were available for these cars while the trunk models (sedans) only came with a block off plate and a cap over the antenna hole. The Am radio was standard in the hatch backs and wagons. Next up was the AM/FM radio pictured here and then the AM/FM stereo radio that is evident by the two AM symbols on the remaining two buttons. An 8 track was an option as was the rare Pioneer Honda tape deck with matching speakers.

Real Civic GL emblem from Japan. Graciously sent to me as a gift from Hiroshi Kawai from Club SB-1. These fit directly into the Hondamatic or 5 speed spot on the rear. I believe they are supposed to be white but I filled it in with red as the white was peeling.

Passenger Side Mirror - Option on the 78-79 models. Found while looking for a new driver's side mirror. I was pretty confused when I got home and tried to fit it.

Cigarette Lighter - Only available as standard on the CVCC 5 speeds and wagons, the rest were optional but many have it.

Pocket Speaker Grills - replaces the pocket in the rear for speakers. Come in all different types. This one holds a 6x9 or a 4" speaker. Found on the floor of a wrecked car.

A/T Engineering Dual Side Draft Intake Manifold - For the CVCC motors or EL and EK motors. Matches up to two Dellorto DHLA side drafts (as pictured), Weber DCOE's or Solex/Mukini Carbs. Took over a year to track down, none available new.

Cannon Intake Manifold - This one is for the 1200 motor and does not require the angled distributor. Matches up to a Dellorto DHLA side draft (as pictured), Weber DCOE or Solex Carb. Bought from a local enthusiast....now sold.

13 X 5.5 Panasport wheels - these ones are actually made by Cheviot. I just finished redoing the set to silver centers and a polished outer lip. Caps can still be had new from Panasport Racing.

Addco and/or A/T Engineering Front and Rear swaybars - Still available new and are well worth the cost. Bought from a local Civic enthusiast who thought they were home made.

13 x 5.5 Appliance aluminum wheels - They're not pretty but at least they are 13" - I only have 3, anyone wanna buy them? They're for sale with no tires. One has an Enkei cap on it?

13 x 5.5 Carroll Shelby Aluminum Wheels - Several after market wheels available but must be 4 x 120 unless the 4 x 100 conversion is done - Panasports most sought after and still available new for a price $$.

Looking For: Any old Honda accessories or options. In particular A/C set up from a CVCC and a Honda Civic picnic set. I am also looking for an old turbo set up for an EK or EL motor. This is the same set up Jackson Racing sold in the late seventies and early 80s.

Lynx Single Side Draft Intake - EL HEADS - New On Ebay for $50 after the owner did not know what it was for.
