Hey guys, haven't really been on here lately but I popped on today and had a poke round and though I should pop up a build thread, just copied from civiclife
Hey everybody, so I've had my civic about 2 months now, haven't really done alot to it but I thought it's about time I put up a build thread, so here we go
Day I picked her up, loved it already! And I didn't even have VTEC haha.
Over the first week or so I didn't really do any mods because buying the car used most of my money. She's lowered on KW Coilovers with a Spoon N1 rep, that was it for the moment.
First up was a decent service, so I changed all the fluids, the plugs and all the filters got some new pads and disks, demontweeks managed to send the wrong disks but I thought I'd hold onto these for a rear disk conversion
Then I wound the coilovers down abit more, actually there as low as they go haha! But I think she's sits nice now.
Next up was a type r front lip totally changed the car I think, love it! Also fitted the jap plates I had with the car, front end was looking nice now, all it needs is some EK9'd lights and it will look the part but that will come later.
D14 powwaaaaa! Haven't decided what to do with the engine yet, insurance won't really let me swap it suppose it will give me time to sort out the bodywork and paint though.
Might need to wind those coilovers back up! front lip catches alot, and she really doesn't get on with speed bumps or any sort of incline haha. Next up was a lick of fresh paint so I decided to do abit of colour coding, don't think it came out too bad for a spray can in a dusty garage still need to do the door handles, wing mirrors and front lip, but I think I might leave that to the professionals
Bit of 6TWO1 bling in next! Think the brushed steel stickers go really well with the silver car As for wheels I decided on black Rota GT3's with the candy red rim, absolutely love them, scared to drive incase I hit a kerb! Haha. Wrapped with Uniroyal Rainsport 2's fantastic tyres! Couldn't get better for the great British weather. Also got an EP3 red recaro from Wasabi on here, absolute pleasure to deal with! Very helpful, perfect guy to buy off
So that's how the car is sitting now so far I'm loving it! All comments and criticism welcome, though I'd prefer nice things stay tuned for updates and thanks for reading.
