Default New member, New car, New ideas!!

Hi guys I just got a 2001 Civic EX. It's a black 2 door, and all that is done to it now is tint. I had that done a couple of days ago, but when I got the car it was bone stock. My buddy is trading me for some wheels tomorrow, and I'm putting the system in as well. I will be posting pictures of the progress as well as a before/after of the car tomorrow. I have plans to do a lot of ascetic mods to the car, mostly because I want it to stay reliable, but also because I hate the sound of "ricer" exhausts. If I do any new performance mods I will want to do an exhaust. Any suggestions?? Thanks guys and I hope to learn a lot while I am on here!!

if you're going to keep the car near stock for reliability sake, the BEST mod(s) you can do are to your suspension. Get a nice spring/shock combo (doesn't have to be a ridiculously expensive set of coilovers, but at the same time you DON'T want to cheap out here!), and eventually some sways and stabilizers.

Suspension upgrades will really up the fun factor of the car.

Oh, and Welcome to HCF!

Nice choice on the wheels. Grids are one of my favorite kinds.

Definitely needs a little drop and the car will look amazing.
