Hey guys, my name is colin. I'm new here, obviously. I'm 17, and I know a bit about cars. I just bought my buddy's red'96 Civic Ex (coupe)last week, so I figured i would register here, just in case i needed help with anything. I don't have any pictures yet, but i will soon.

So far, the list of mods includes:

-Magnaflow cat-back exhaust system, 2.5" piping, 3" tip
-16" Motegi racing rims, painted black on 215/40/r16 General Exclaim tires
-K&N cold air intake with a K&N air filter
-20% tint on the front two windows, 5% tint on the back windows and rear windshield
-JVC headunit, 6" Alpine type R speakers in the front doors, 6x9" Type R's in the rear deck
-Two 12" Dual subwoofers in a bandpass enclosure, blue neons on the speaker grills

There are other little things done to the car, but i'm in school right now and my 5th period class is about to end, so i gotta cut this short. In the future, I will be throwing a manual transmission in the ride, and most likely swapping out the engine. As of now, the engine is still the standard 1.6Ld16y8 that has 180k miles on it.

Well, once again, hello to everybody, and i will be back sometime later

 

looks like you've got a good plan, for hte rims seems like you could find some 16" black rims instead of painting them black and it'd cost you less. Good luck and welcoem to the forum!

 

Post up some pics of your ride. We love pictures here. LOL Welcome and hope to see you around.

 

sounds pretty sweet dude. haha get that MT in there as soon as possible! haha MT ftmfw

 

Welcome
sounds like you have a nice head jump, cant wait to see some pic

 

180 k? better get it tuned up first before you start modding it.

 

Nice. Welcome to HCF. Get some pics

 

haha definitely. It also needs some minor body work, but i think i can deal with the little dings and dents, for now anyways. But yeah, i will get some pics up by the end of this week hopefully. I ned to get the rims sanded down and repainted as well. I think i will go with a black powdercoat this time instead of the actual paint, since it seems to be chipping away. Anyways, it seems like everybody here is pretty cool, so thanks for the welcome guys! I'll post updates & everything when i can.
