Made a build thread over on my local forum and thought I'd share it here as well. It's pretty much a copy paste but I'll keep this thread updated whenever something has been done to the car
Well it's late at night and have nothing better to do so I thought to myself might as well start a build thread since there's a serious lack of them lately (thanks photobucket). Posting photos on instagram isnt the same has having a nice build thread to scroll thru so here we go. #MakeBuildThreadsGreatAgain
As you may know I used to have a JZX100 Chaser for a bit, wasn't really planning on selling that car since it was a pretty sweet car to have but I ended up selling it soon after seeing what I recently picked up was for sale.
Sold that car for dirt cheap so I could quickly acquire this, 1996 Honda Civic in Midori green known as being King Midori from past days
This is what it used to look like when it was in Honda Tuning and Super Street awhile ago
When I picked up the car it was nothing like what it used to be, mostly all the baller stuff from before was long gone and what remained was a pretty good k swapped car. It's an A2 head with an Z1 block mated to a Type R trans with a 5.01 final drive from either a CR-V or Element. The head probably has some work done to it and and has cams or something in it cause it makes close to 240whp, Danny over at SF tuned the car when the previous owner had it and said it could make 250whp and more with bigger injectors and throttle body so I'm keeping that in mind... Suspension consisted of Spoon N1 coilovers, Skunk 2 front and rear camber kits, Swift rear swap bar, A-Spec x ASR subframe brace and SRR LCAs. I made a deal with the previous owner and was originally only supposed to buy the shell with full swap and interior and sell off the rest. I ended up keeping most of the suspension since it was still in pretty good shape and I wouldn't be able to get replacement stuff for cheaper, kept the black housing taillights and spoiler base as well so I could run aftermarket wings. So yes, I sold a car that I could drive for a none running one, pretty good deal eh?
So right away I started to fix up some things here and there on the car, first up was taking the angle out of the ctr spoiler and putting in my old 5zigen steering wheel I had kicking around
After that I fixed up the fitment of the front bumper, front lip and flares
AP Racing setup was pretty sick to look at but was really overkill as well
Let my friend drive the car for a bit and took a some of pics of it and some at my friend's house
Continued in second post due to image restrictions
