Yea I got some big plans for this car but wish I had more $$$ to do the things I want. I wanna get some good dampers and lower it prob gonna go with tien. And of course either 15" or 16" rims and strut bars and other things to improve the ride/suspension. Then prob do a rear disc brake conversion and put bigger rotors and calipers on the front. Repaint the car not sure what color was thinking either orange with metallic flake in it like my cbr 600rr or like a gloss black. Then swap out my D16 for either a B16/B18 and build it up and turbo it. I wanna keep it as a daily driver so not gonna get too crazy still want it to be reliable. Theres so much I wanna do to this car but wish I had more money lol. You got any plans for yous?
sounds good. idk what i want to do with mine, its an automatic so i dont wanna pay a good amount to swap it, plus my mom cant drive 5speed and since her van is broke down and were broke as hell, my civic is OUR daily driver haha. i wanna get a crx or del sol project kinda thing. keep it as a weekend car or something.

Yea I just found that out today when I went to put it on 
Didnt realize the SI grille is wider the my stock one. So I guess I need a 99-00 SI front bumper and the molding that goes in front lol Anyone got one laying around?

you'll need a full front end conversion for that.

Another question? Im looking at replacing both my headlight housings cause the driver side is cracked and they both are really fogged up and dont look very good. Will 99-00 civic SI housings bolt right on or do I need to have the hood,fenders,grille etc for them to fit. They look the same from the pics but wanna make sure before I order. Thanks
