i've finished what i want to do for now preformace wise but havent paid any attention to my ride's visual aspect.
i drive a seafoam green 94 ex 2dr coupe.
i want to eventually put a body kit on it, paint the whole thing forest green, tint the windows and put some good rims on it.
anyway i was wondering what you guys thing i should do first since i can't afford to do them all at once, what order should i do these things in order to keep from lookin like a ricer or just plain tacky.
thanks

Did you do any suspension work?? if not then i would do that next

 

i would get rims first before the suspension work cause u might drop it to low and cant put the rims on tht u want. if tht isnt wht u want or dont have the money thn the tints would b the cheapest to start with.

 

Personally I think you should do Intake/Header/Exhaust as well; but I would do the rims first like Streetglow said. Then you'll be able to judge what drop is too much.

 

what do you guys think of this (konig) for my civic (the one in the sig)?

 

I would only go that route if you plan to slam the car. If you want a performing suspension system, I would go with something that has a mild drop like the TOkico HPK setup. And if you did take that route, you could do it before you got wheels. Personally, I think suspension is the most important mod you can do. Its what showed me the most difference in performance anyway..


....that is, until I get my boost figured out

 

heh yea i've got a NX system so i'm definintly lovin that but i will go with suspension next

hate to be a pain but do you have a recommended place to pick up the tokico hpk steup and perhaps a price estimate?

 

Forty wht do u mean by slam the car? just a lil confused by wht u mean

and btw u can just call me james

 

By slam the car he means having it about 1-1½" off the ground, very very low, to the point where speedbumps are non negociable and you have to find alternate routes

 

^Pretty much what he said. If you stick to a reasonable drop, you won't have to worry about rubbing with proper wheels and tires. However, if you "slam it" or drop it like 2.5"+, THEN and only then should you have to worry about getting wheels first.


As for where to get tokicos, check out our sponsor Speed6Motorsports, they'll get you a quote. They are great to work with and will definitely do everything they can to get you set up.
