1991 Honda Civic DX - Dwight Winthrow Keeps it clean

Often times, money gets a little tight for even the die-hard custom car enthusiast. If budget weren’t an option, just imagine some of the dirt rods that could be built. Can you picture some?? Just imagine, the body painted in the same color primer, or being able to buy those slapper bars new, instead of at a swap meet, or picture not only chrome valve covers, but a chromed out alternator, and all 8 plug wires being the same brand! Yep, that sure would be sweet. Now back to reality- Dwight Winthrow’s 1991 Honda Civic DX. Some of DR’s faithful readers may not care much for all of the innovation and technology that goes into today’s top custom imports, but everyone can appreciate the hardwork and customizing that Dwight has put into this sweet little ride.
Dwight first bought the car used, but it didn’t stay ‘stock’ for very long at all. After the motor just got “broke in” (192,143 miles) Dwight thought he should add some parts for speed. When it comes to go fast parts for any civic, the larger the exhaust the better, and Dwight’s ‘91 is no exception. After making his car go faster, he needed it to look faster, too. Some custom body mods, custom paint, and a mock NOS bottle, mission accomplished!

Unless you look really close, you can barely tell certain pieces of the car are ‘homemade’.


“I made a lot of the fairings and wings myself”, Dwight explains. “After spending almost my entire Taco Bell pay check on FUBU clothing and hair dye, I barely had enough money left for this visor.”
Well Dwight, we’ve all been there, which is why Dirt Rodder wanted to give you the props that you damn well deserve. The best thing about this car, is that it doesn’t look any more hideous, and it goes just as fast as other people’s cars that have spent literally thousands more.
