After a 2yr break, I'm building another car
2000 EBP Civic Si, 128k on the miles. Got it from a guy that used to work at the dealership. He bought the intake and exhaust from me and then 8 mos later he had a slight fender bender. He basically collected a check and sold me the car in it's damaged state and a clean title. As you can see in the pics the damage was very minor...here it is the day I brought it home.
Surprisingly enough the factory driver's fender needed only minor work to be reused and I had an OEM hood, bumper cover, grille, and side skirt to fit the front. I also went ahead and installed a set of OEM CTR headlights. I'll get pics of the repaired version soon. And then I'll move on to the upgrade/modification path.
So after sitting in my shop for 2 weeks I finally finished up the suspension, brakes, and wheels.
I installed Eibach Sportline springs with Tokico HP Struts ('Blues').
While I was at it I fitted Powerslot Rotors, Hawk 'F' Compound pads, and Russell SS braided brake lines.
The rear also got PIC lower control arms, ASR subframe brace, and 22mm CTR swaybar.
Front got the same treatment as far as suspension and brakes go plus ARP extended wheel studs. I had a stock stud broken and figured if I'm going to take it apart to replace it I may as well upgrade.
I took a couple pictures of the outside. Funny thing is that this one shows the front end not matching at all, but it's not off that much with the naked eye. Still needs a buff job and a complete detail outside, the wheels still have compound on them from being polished.
REAL CTR headlights...oooooh, aaaaah! :roll:
See my door dings?! oh, and let's not forget the Skunk2 lugnuts
tried really hard to cut out my shadow on this one.
upskirt shot showing of the Apex'i WSII cat back and the pretty rear suspension bits.
and <FONT SIZE="24">CA-CHOW!!!</FONT> the polished Si wheels.
