Default back in a civic again!

well i was on the site before, under another name about a year ago but i dont remember my username or password so i just made this one up instead. I had a 96 civic ex coupe, body kitted, lowered, full h/e/i, short shifter, painted gun metal grey. But she had issues so i cut my losses and sold it for 500 less than i paid for it the year before at 2000$. I went out and bought a 93 240sx hatch with thoughts of drifting. Got a bit into it but never really was great at it and was a bit too dangerous to try anywhere, plus hard on tires. So i decided it was time to get rid of it and i took the 2100 i got for it and added another 1600 ontop of that and wala, now i have a 97 civic ex coupe, 5 speed. Its in great condition for having 206k miles. Motor has 5k miles on it since rebuild (d16y8 still). Mods are skunk2 pro RS coilovers all around, skunk2 lca's (gold), skunk2 mega power catback, pioneer deck, HID bulbs, and acura integra LS rims. I love it so far, but its a bit too low, too rough, and too loud at times. Plus it had WAY too much negative camber in the rear which i will be fixing soon, along with it being harsh riding, loud and low.

anyways here are some pics.

Damn that is slammed. I like it though. If its too harsh of a ride i'd say raise it a tad, but i like the look.

thanks guys, since its a high milage engine (doesnt run like one though), im pretty sure im gonna save up for a tubo build and just throw some boost at it, maybe try to break it and do a b16a swap or just build the d16 later on. But for now im going to get a new set of rear tires and then probably the rear camber kit. Will keep you guys posted.
