CIVIC PROJECT IS NOW DEAD!! - OCT. 9, 2010
My new "direction" for my Truck project is posted on page 25...SO READ IT! - JAN. 9, 2011
Words in red are pointless now so don't bother reading that BS...

So ive decided ima start a project thread on here since ive been finding more and more things to get done on my car as of recently.

She was terrible when i brought her home mainly exterior wise w/ ugly @$$ aftermarket headlights and still has igly tails. Horrible rims and a loud @$$ muffler (like a 3 inch body, high pitch one).

Things done (in order of when they were done):
New "turbo" muffler ($75)
New oem headlights ($70)
New sparkplugs (idr price)
New sparkpulg wires and cap and rotor ($50)
New radiator ($83)
New locking lugs ($30)
Black hx rims i got from a friend ($100, a steal imo)
New tires ($273)
Hx center caps ($35, again a steal)

Things to get done (hopefully within the next year):
Paint center caps (decided not to paint the rims til later on in the project) <--- Done
Debadge/paint the back "H" badge <--- Done
Fix the "new" muffler
New alternator <--- Done
Fix a/c (it barely works...needs to be recharged) <--- DoneNew oem/jdm tails
Remove the current tint
New AEM or K&N Intake
Sway bars (upper and lower struts)
Find both bumpers (mine are ****)
Find a front lip
Get an Si grille
New HID kit
Get some yellow fogs
Suspension (1.5 to 2" drop)
Interior mods (integra seats, different cluster, etc)
Wayyy future mods:
Either keep my D16y7 motor and modify the **** outa it and turbo...
...OR...
Save up and find a K20 to drop in it (my ultimate dream btw)
Manual transmission
Disc brakes all around
New paint (the Si blue im thinking...would look BA imo)
Uhm...im sure theres other stuff i wanna do just cant member right now hahaha

Now i dont have a lot of money and ima have to start payin for college soon so dont expect to see somethin checked off my list daily or even weekly...things will get done in due time haha but yah...its a big project and if everything works out i plan on having me one kick @$$ dd/weekend racer

Check out my garage and check in on here every now and then...gonna try to take lotz of pics for yall and btw thanks for lookin at my project thread

 

Ive been painting most of my easter break...painted the center caps semi-gloss black (just havent gotten them on) and painted the back Honda badge to match...looks sick but i f@cked up the Badge so gotta do it over tomorrow hopefully...took a crap ton of pics and ill post em tomorrow if i get on here haha

Oh also debadged it...gonna need to do some touch-up paint due to the badges tho :/

 

So update; the center caps are done and on the hx's and my debadging/rear Honda badge painting is all done for now and and both are the semi-gloss black color...eventually the rims will be the same color hopefully. I took a ton of pics ill upload them asap

 

Good start with the de-ricing. Nice job on the rims.

 

Nice start.

 

looking good so far. planning to add a drop and paint matched to the list?

 

Thanx...its no v6 purple hatch but its fun still

Yah a drop i mentioned...hopefully during college i'll have enough time, money, and can get a few friends to throw some suspension under her haha and i wanna do the si blue paint cause ive never seen that color blue on a hatch down here so i think itd look sick BUT i am kinda liking the silver on my car haha ill have plenty of time to decide on that though so no worries hahaha

 

So havent had time to try and get these fricken pics to upload recently...i tried this past monday and couldnt get them to work on here and even tried resizing ALL OF THEM (which took forever btw)...anyway ima try again but havent done anything to the car since the painting projects...just got the oil changed today thats about it...realized that i gotta get a new air filter too so might do that and the a/c recharge this weekend or next week maybe...oh and found out that my friend has an alternator i might be able to put in her but we'll have to wait and see

 

Gonna do the drain, refill, and recharge the a/c this week hopefully thursday which will leave only the alternator to fix and then its off to the fun stuff gonna look into tails first and then hid's me thinks what do yall think i should do after the engine repair crap...

 

the oem si grill shell will not fit the 96-98.... maybe you can find a aftermarket version of it for the 96-98
