What up peoplesss... New Honda Driver here =]
 

What's goin' on everybody! I hope this forum would fill me in on information about my civic and stuff.
I just bought a 98 Honda Civic LX for 5200
mileage was like 94k, smogged up, recent oil change... I DUNNO.. I'm a noob but my friend which is WAAAY more into cars than I am said that my car isn't bad for the price I got it as (I hope). I'll take pictures of my car and my minor damages on it and see what you guys have to say about it yeah?

What should I do, and what should I leave alone.

What are some dope radio decks I can get, rims, accessories, etc...

I hope you guys would help me out! Looking forward to posting haha..

Peace!

Hai! welcome to the forums. if youre looking for rims we have a great thread with tons of pictures of ppls wheels in the wheels/tires section, and for "dope" radio decks check out what other ppl are saying itn the audio section.

GET THOSE PICS UP K THX =]

lets see them pics. are you looking for a dvd unit or just a radio/cd unit? people tend to like alpines and pioneers, for their quality units. welcome to the forum

Looking for a radio/cd unit and yeah either alpine or pioneer... My ****s an auto so I'm not looking for to like racing or w/e haha... but I would like my car to look nice though! Do people like to put body kits on their lx's? idk cuz mostly i see EX's around that are tricked out haha.. .I'm telling you people I is a noob!

well on this forum you will get steered away from body kits. Most ppl on this forum consider body kits to be rice and they will say get a lip kit instead. lip kits will make your car different enough while still maintaining a clean look.

If your a part of this forum and you get a body kit, you will be cock slapped.

LOL! Thanks for the info! Yeah, like I said I'm a nooob... thats the thing that I DON'T want. making it look like a ricer, I just want to make it look nice you know!?

Haha whats difference between lip and body anyways?

AHH!! I just researched it... Body kit = ricer = bad

Lip kits what I want.

lip kit would be enough for a DD and your car would look different and clean. most people have the type r or mugen lip

Yeah, I just want a clean look.. Plus around my area theres MAD people with Civics.. haha and they all look alike!

DD?

DD= daily driver

btw. got any pics of your civic to post up

HAHA! I saw that one on google images and I was thinking about doing that too sort of but my own stuff... I'm glad theres some cars I can style after lol

I'll post up pics when I get home, I'm at a family party right now... I'm loving these forums already haha

And! http://www.clubcivic.com/featured/03-08/toplevelej.jpg this too maybe lol..

the vehicle information and stuff is on there.. what do you guys think?

couple things i would start out with. tint the front windows, type r grill, lip kit, wheel, lower, and the red and clear tails, like the civic jprommel posted. and maybe some projector headlight and HID's, and foglights. those are some of the appearance mods i would start out with. If your not thinking about turbo then i would do the basic, intake, header, exhaust mod. i dump that exhaust tip right away not liking how small and how it sticks out. i would go with either a welded on chrome exhaust tip or an aftermarket muffler or exhaust system.

Ah! Alright I'll put those into consideration...

Yeah, my friend and I doesn't like how it sticks out too.. I'll prolly take care of that first cuz it kind of rattles too eek >.<

The basicsss... intake, header, exhaust mod. What if I wanted to go turbo? Whats the benefits Turbo anyways?

massive increase in hp lol

Can turbo work with automatic? lol

What if I just went with intake header and exhaust... what are the benefits of those?

yes, with I/H/E at best you might see 12 hp gain

I'll take a picture underneath my hood and I'll post it...
would it help save gas???? hahah

a little bit yes

yes turbo works on an auto. but best on a manual. I/H/E helps your car breath a little better, you will probably get a little bit better gas mileage. but you won't notice too big of a HP gain compare to turbo. turbo takes lots of experience, time, and work, gotta know what you are doing.

Oh I see, I'll just go for I/H/E then.. maybe in the future when I get my own money I'll get some other car... but I'ma work on my LX first w00t

cool, keep us posted about your progress and remember to snap some pics

Word, I'll keep those suggestions you posted into consideration too... unless someone has other suggestions !

you wont regret it. i have a 99 lx bought it for $7200 last year only had like 65-70k on it. was super clean. the guy even had plastic bags over the seats and all of the floor mats on when we took it for a test. had an oil change shortly after i bought it and the mechanic new right away that the guy took good care of it. all in all, im happy with it and i cant wait to do more upgrades!
