Default new honda lover from alabama

Yo whats up peeps, I just bought me a 96 civic lx 4dr. Its my first stick and I am enjoying every bit of it.

but I have already started the planning for modding it. I know I am gonna start of with suspension and breaks first, I was looking at the tokico blues, they were good priced but I wanted to know how is the ride quality for a daily driver, this car will only auto crossed probley once or twice a month.

and where should i look at for upgrading my breaks also.

Hopefully by next summer I will have saved up enough money to do the engine swap I want.

I was looking at the b18c1 but i settled for the b16a2, I don't want to go forced induction i want to run N/A, and I want it to atleast be able to push 185 hp no problems possible 190.

So if you have any suggestions let me know I am very open minded.

Yeah, Pinstripes are always pretty gay lol.

Nice car, I have never seen that color before, is it brown?

And for trim i would suggest color matching your trim and door handles to match the car... Would definately look cleaner than black IMO.

Rims.... hmmmm.... I dont know whaat color would go best with the car either lol

That's your opinion. I think pinstripes from factory are fine. As long as they match the car.

lol i just found out its not a stock paint job, the car used to be green looked at the engine bay lol. but i like the color for that fact no one has seen it and its brown, i call the car brown sugar lol.

i was thinking black rims, and if i can figure out the right name for the color i just might paint the molding and handles the same color.
