I told you I will meet the owner of that Civic on 14/05, at 10:30PM, but we didn't meet at that time, because I didn't have a car to go to Bucharest. So, the next day I talked with my best friend and he helped me by giving me his car (Seat Leon Cupra).

Now, we are on the highway on our way to Bucharest.
We took some breaks from driving, to relax.

We arrived in Bucharest and we are going to meet with the owner to see the car. He told us to go at his place, where he had the car. We saw the car, it was in a good condition on the interior and the engine was good too, but the exterior does not look too good. The paint was awful.
The owner told me that he made a conversion from the stock engine of the 1995 Honda Civic to a stock K20A engine.
After talking with the owner and asking more questions about the car, I made a deicision: I bought the car.

We made it back to Constanta, where I live at the moment with the both cars. The Civic runs great, but I had a problem with the gearbox: it does not change the gears as it should, so I went to a specialized car service and solved the problem.
I talked with some friends to told me a good paintshop and we found one and sent the car right away.
Spoiler: 17,500V$ - 1,680V$ (price for the Civic) - 100V$ (fuel for the Civic and Seat Leon Cupra) - 20V$ (KFC) = 15,700V$
15,700V$ - 100V$ (solving the gearbox problem) = 15,600V$

It's Thursday morning, I went online to search a new Coilover Kit. After a couple hours for searching a good one that fits the 1994 Honda Civic, I found a Sport Coilover Kit for 950V$.
Spoiler: 15,600V$ - 950V$ (Sport Coilover Kit) = 14,650V$
16/05 - 21/05, 11:45AM - Update #10
So, these days (16 - 21/05) I drove my best friends car, because the Civic was in the paintshop.
At 12:30PM I got a call from the paintshop and told me that my car was ready for pickup. I was so happy about it, I can't wait to see the new paintcoat.
As you can see, the front lip, the mirros and the engine headcover is painted in black. I think it looks good with that Audi Misano Red Pearl on it, right?
After getting the car from the paintshop, I went home and ordered the new rims for it: RS Watanabe Stellar for 585V$. By the way, I sold the Steelies for 100V$.
Spoiler: 14,650V$ - 350V$ (fuel for the Seat Leon Cupra everyday) = 14,300V$
14,300V$ - 1,300V$ (the car was painted and baked in the oven) - 100V$ (workforce) = 12,900V$
12,900V$ - 585V$ (RS Watanabe Stellar) + 100V$ (sold Steelies) = 12,415V$

The new coilover kit arrived and we started to mount it on the car. After a couple hours of working on it, I can say that the Civic looks great.

I got a call from the post office with which I was announced that I received a package. So, I went to the post office to get my package and guess what?! THE NEW RIMS HAVE ARRIVED!!!
I got home and "we have the car in the new coats". After I put the new wheels on, I went online, again, to search a new Aftermarket Intake Manifold and I found one for 450V$.
Spoiler: 12,415V$ - 450V$ (Performer™ X Satin Intake Manifold) = 11,965V$
27/05/2019, 6:00PM - Update #13
The package with the new manifold arrived and I started working on the car. After some hours of working, the new Aftermarket Intake Manifold was mounted on the car and the car was good to go!
Spoiler: 11,965V$ + 830V$ (weekly salary since 21.05 and 27.05) = 12,795V$
I think this is it for now. I am thinking at some new modifications, but I don't know what I should do. I have new plans for a new car, however I don't want to spend a lot of money on the cars right now. I want to finish the 1994 Honda Civic project.
If you have any ideas for the 1994 Honda Civic, please let me know. I really want you guys to be a part of this project. All the advices and ideas are welcome.
