Right so i have come a long way with my civic and thought id share a bit of a build thread and see if i can keep up with updating it with the things i get up to!
Here it is i got this civic for £300 with a few plans
once i got the car first thing i bought was these wheels on coilovers as i had money left from my cupra which was wrote off a few months back due to some stupid business man not watching
Soon tried the wheels out to find the fronts will need mega mods but the backs looked sick
The fronts i had to get lashed on teh lathe and take 15mm off the faces where the blue line is bit of a pain but it was worth it as they now fit perfect just hope they hold out!
Then shortly after got the coil overs fitted had some chew with a snapped bolt in the lower control arms so got some cheap red ones off edag to tidy the job up still need to sort the hight out but you will see how it stands when i finish the rest of the up dates
After a bit of fiddling and few other mods which really arent worth listing apart from the old bolk of wood and a hammer to get my arches to cover the tyres here it is!
And some guy at work thinks his car as cool yeah i respect him for trying and its his own taste but i had to stance off with him and park behind him
Theres loads more updates to come but for now im off to a pool party will try and keep this updated and i hope most of my typing makes sence as i did this in a bit of a rush!
Cheers
