#331881 hi there peoples i'm danny from the united kingdom (england) I've owned this civic ej2 for 1 yr now havent done much at the moment, had few bits on then had to sell most of it as had money problems but turned it around and started buying parts and storing them in spare bedroom

here are pics when I bought it:

Image

my d16z6, already in wen got it:

Image

then I bought amber corners, spoon replica front lip, bonnet bra:

Image

then i swapped the fat 5's off my eg hatch and put em on to my coupe:

Image

Image

the hatch got scrapped......

a month after bought some scooby seats then got em welded to my eg rails by a friend (i now have standard civic vti seats)

Image

I finally got bored of my fat fives and tried something different, borbet a alloys which needed refurbishing but didnt have the money at the time, i even sold my amber corner, front lip etc it got bad.

Image

Image

as my car failed mot I decided to put in my garden(soon to be drive) and I decided to keep it off road, use my wifes car so I can save up more money for parts
my car looks sad as ive took off front bumper, radiator off, the rad hoses but will be getting upgraded rad and hoses, so how it looks now:

Image

ive also took the power steering pump off and I bought a kit off here so the flow and return on the steering rack are looped together, so I loose weight and gain a few horses
for the last couple of months ive recently purchased some parts which are stored in spare bedroom that will be going in a month or 2 are:

amber corners
oil catch can
upgraded d16z6 plug leads
some dtm mirrors
adjustable camber arms
beaks replica brace
D2 lca's
jdm rear recess plate

AND my favourite wheels of all time......

advan sa3r's: 16x7 & 16x8 (et35 & et38)

Image

Image

then two of the wheels had some nice rubber round em (205/50/16)

Image

and fitted 1 to see how it looked

Image

took it straight off as i was on hol and there is now way i'm leaving em on while i'm away plus other 2 need tyres on but cant put em on as i need to put on my 114.3 hub conversion on the rear.
