#218434 Hey what's going on everybody this is my first civic and fresh into the Honda scene :woot: i thought about getting an EG after looking at this site a couple times no lie and couldn't decide between coupe,hatch, or sedan....i chose sedan (family car with style).After seeing all the sick rides on this forum i decided I want to make mines uber fresh!! This is going to be my first build and i'm doing this on a budget (thanx california economy) im also learning as i go along so any input, advice, suggestions, criticism lol is welcomed. Sorry about the essay just needed my intro.

I bought this 94 Civic LX for $900 (of course needed work) good deal or bad deal?
The motor is stock d15b7 with about 285,000 miles and climbing(my daily driver)
Automatic transmission
4x4 suspension :lol: jk but it looks lifted compared to ones i seen
When i bought the car it didn't have side skirts, window moldings, antenna, driver seat had foam missing a few tears, front passenger door didn't work (wasn't connected),front bushings were torn and a/c wasn't blowing cold air, cracked windshield

So far i've gotten the side skirts, window moldings,driver seat, and a/c blows freezing air (just needed fuse), painted corners amber from the DIY list :thumb: and put front HyperFlex polyurethane bushings

eeehhh for now

My future plans for this car include:
Paint job
new windshield
Tint
Drop the car not totally slammed just right in between
amber corners
convert it from auto to manual (probably going to do this last need to do research before i jump into it)
Sound system: speakers all around, cd player (mine still has the factory cassette player that doesn't even work!!) :thumbdown:

This is it for now so if you have any suggestions let me know..i'm new to this and still learning so any input would be gladly appreciated :thumb:[list=][/list][list=][/list]

    #218595 looking good. Hope you enjoy the project. Doesnt sound like too bad a deal on the car. Its nice to see you replacing little things like that. Those are what make the difference in the end. Especially in terms of reliability. Looks like the corners turned out pretty well from what i can see in the pics. Glad you went with a honda.

    EDIT: esp a sedan! :woot: :thumb:

    #218635 16's will fit without rubbing at your ride height... my only concern is where your gonna find one more? lol

    Good luck on your build!

    #221989 Alright haven't really updated my car in awhile my babygirl has been keeping me busy :zzz: ...but got a lot of pics :thumb:
    These are the Rota Slipstreams i picked up i only have 3 and still looking for the last one
    Image

    I also picked up these for a good price

    Image
    Tokico HP blues w/Skunk2 springs for the front
    Tokico Illumina for the rear

    but i noticed the Skunk2 springs on the HP blues are short maybe too short idk if they cut the springs or maybe springs are for another car :? What you guys think?
    Image

    I took it for a drive and it feels kinda bouncy in the front :thumbdown: struts are good (tested both) i just think its the spring even though it looks sick with the drop

    I didn't like having 2 slipstreams up front and 2 steelies in the back so until i have the whole set of the spoon replicas i painted my steelies for now...
    Image

    Rear dropped
    Image

    Front stock until i find front springs or ??
    Image

    As it sits currently
    Image

    Front 4x4 Back Dropped
    Image

    Oh yeah and i finally installed a radio antenna to my cassette player haha finally radio for my blown speakers :lol: i'll upgrade sound later
    Installing cap and rotor today and going to order some NGK spark plug wires so they can come in this week anyone know where to get them from? i tried autozone,pepboys and kragen but no luck :thumbdown: also going to get a new windshield this week

    After all that i plan on painting it even though it looks stealthy as it sits haha nobody would want to steal it if it looks ugly but i'm looking around for prices but i don't know what color to paint it i've been thinking teal but i'm open for any other sick colors any suggestions?? :D
