Addiction2bass's Repair and Upgrade Project Civic 96DX
#231
LOL well not really good pictures. its storming like a **** out there now and to dark.
at first i tried silver BUT after i sprayed it and stuck it on the car it looked like crap IMO so i quickly repainted it gunmetal and then did the rest.
i took a picture of it with my cell phone but my phone is taking forever to email me my picture. ill post the silver later. but i didnt like it... so this is what i got now.
and when i get enough cash ill get 2new tires for the other 14inch steelies i have. right now the fronts are 13s and the 14s are in the rear. i had 2new 14tires before BUT when i traded my black civic i gave him those good wheels
eventually ill get all new tires since it sure wouldnt hurt. and ill have to repaint them again since they always screw up my paint by removing and puting on new wheel weights. balancing the wheels.
of course i dont need the 14s yet BUT i hate these DX brakes so i want to swap out my front brakes to EX brakes. the main downfall is my DX has ABS brakes which is good option but not so common so hard to find a civic with abs at the yards.

ok well good and some bad news.
the news in order. washed the civic. then found out my exterior AC motor burned out in the electrical storm last night on the house. so now im waiting for the repair guy to show up. he told me he could rush me a guy over in the next half hour or so, so now im hoping he wasnt pull sh**in me and them come out quick! qualifications for my DB Drag end at 4pm and right now its 11:30 so hopefully he can come out swap it out and leave quickly!!!!!
and i can make it by 3pm since they have the hydrolic show at 4pm also and i love seeing it every year.
it sucks that the fan burned out! i dont want to have to go out to the shop and sleep there.... it has ac out there.
but anyways heres the pics you want.
better than rusty steelies! tho im still planing on trying to find some more 99-00 ex hubcaps that i can paint them and put em on. i have afew now but afew are busted up. in alot worst shape then the ebay listing said!
O YA BEFORE YOU SAY ANYTHING........ YES i know i need to cut the grass.LOL its to hot outside to mow the grass and i have 5acress to mow so it takes a long time!!! i would have mowed today BUT i got my car show this weekend so its going to keep growing.LOL

this is our lawn mower. it has a belly mower. that picture was taken in winter mode with the front bucket and rear grader blade. and those trailers are very heavy im sure it would bottom out my truck just trying to pull it out alittle.LOL
and well with the AC NO LUCK... of course my ac blower is model specific and they dont stock it so i have to wait till monday at least IF there warehouse has them instock otherwise even longer. this sucks.... but at least its only 82 degrees in my room now. i turned everything off in my room while i was gone even my mini fridge.
and well i did pretty good in the DB Drag but there was alot of people in my class so not that great 8th. dam 15inch subwoofer and me having to have the motor running put my in street max which had alot more vehicles in this year. i think it was like 20people in my class
i guess well find out who all shows up tomorrow for the semi and final rounds since some people just want to know how loud they are. i wont get a trophy im sure since its only 1,2,3rds but ill have my scores recorded online.
i should have stuck with 120-129.9bassrace but i said hell with it ill go all out and just keep it maxed.
EDIT BECAUSE I DONT WANT TO BUMP THE THREAD BUT IT IS THE END OF THIS PROJECT BUILD. DUE TO CREDIT CARD BILLS AND ME WANTING THEM PAID OFF I SOLD THE CIVIC TODAY 7-18-09
I GOT 2,800BUCKS FOR IT WITHOUT THE REAR BASS.
at least i saved one riced out smashed civic from the scrap metal yard and gave it another chance at life.
i believe the car is in good hands.
