- Mon Feb 25, 2008 8:02 pm #43709 *** so the civic was stolen this past wednesday , which happened to be the same day i was going to be heading out of town to visit family for thanksgiving. And the kicker is i think i know who stole it, someone in my apartment complex was asking about it and he didn't seem like he was in a position to buy it. the only reason someone would steal it is for the engine and it didnt run so they had to have towed it out of my apartment complex. which takes some knowledge of both the car and the apartments, so ya had to file a police report instead of getting on a plane. and now i am trolling craigslist, but if anyone sees a b16 for sale or a java black pearl civic shell around oregon i would be forever grateful for the info. O yeah and thieves can DIE ***



ok i have put off posting pics of my ride for a while because i havent had much money to start the build lately. but i figure i can post the pics of it to make everyone feel better about their own eg hahaha!

sooo here it is in all its faded glory...

EDIT: finally starting the build

what are your plans for the car?

well my plans are to eventually have it boosted and pushing around 300 hp to the wheels but i need a lot of things first, like my starter went out yesterday so i am going to try and replace it this weekend (hopefully post a DIY too ) i also need a new clutch, fuel filter, and test pipe. the shocks and bushings are also shot from the 3" gold line springs that were put on before i bought the car so i want to do the whole suspension before i boost it too. but recently a friend of my dad who owns a bodyshop said he would paint my car for real cheap, like next to nothing so i might just do that and then worry about everything else! what do you think? performance first or looks?

- Thu Feb 28, 2008 12:20 am #43948 Get it looking DECENT, just so people don't spit as you roll by, but you don't need to spend $3Gs on the appearance first before you have any performance.

A lot of people throw around the term "all show show and no go go". I mean yeah it's nice to have a nice car, to get a bit of respect and to make it look like you take care of your car. Personally, I'm going to make mine look respectable and clean, then do what's necessary performance-wise, and then go back to aesthetic.

By the same token, having a 300hp civic that looks like a demo derby car can be shocking, but also a little revolting
