Hi guys. I'm from Poland. I want to show you my EJ9 i bought year ago. I always wanted a Honda and here it is. This is how she looked like when I bought:

After few days I knew body work is grant but motor was a no go. 1L oil - 1000km :) So I throw a D16Z9 that was completly rebuild using OEM, ACL parts, Vision timing wheel, Exedy stage 1 cloutch etc.

So I sorted everything related with suspension, motor, brakes and then moved to interior.
I never liked the ceiling in my civic so I used black alcantara and painted plastic around it with VHT vinyl and boy what a difference. Next buy was bad. I learned the hard way not to buy fake's. I'm talking about fake Recaro DC2 seats , well on photo they look smart but there're very shitty, don't recommend them.
Here is the photo of interior back then:

Then i took care of body work - took my whole 3 days but I'm very happy with the end result (I used Manzerna 500,3000, flexipads, Dodo juice Puprple wax and PB Black Hole).

I know this is very ghetto compared to US or GB project but remember here in Poland mods parts doesn't lay on shelves or ebay ;) and the paycheck at the end of the month is ... let's say is not so good:)

So what you guys think?
Next upgrade will be suspension. I haven't decided yet. Should I go Koni Sport or KYB AGX ( i use car only on the streets since there're no track in my region + roads are shitty - pitholes). Cheers

P.S Excuse my english i havent used it for for some time:) Lived in Ireland for 2 years but forgot a lot hehe
