Consolidating some threads elsewhere here, this stuff has happened in the last year or so I've owned the car, this will not be one of those uber 6 month start to finish builds.

How the Car was when I bought it:









Bought 15" konig heliums w/ 205/50/15 tires




Took apart headlights and did the whole bake/paint thing, turned out pretty well.



Wheel gap before drop



Springs have arrived

Moved to SC over this past week for a job. Packed all I could fit in back of civic, got a buddy and started driving. Car handled 42 hours straight driving, only stopping for food/gas/bathroom. Should have pics up later tomorrow.

headlights came out goooood lol fooled me until i read it
man i want a ek hatch so bad ha
but got the da for now
lookinin into any kind of hatch tho just not ef
how much you pay for that when you got it?

jtedrick

I paid 5600, which wasn't that great of a price, but it was a one owner car previous to me, and it was a really old lady that owned it. I actually wanted a coupe at first. Went to this russian dudes used car dealership in portland. Found a black EX, looked pretty nice, good paint and whatnot. I told him I would be having a PPI done before I bought anything. He said he had a mechanic on staff that could do it, which should have been a red flag right there. Told him I was gonna take to Honda and have them look it over. Driving it I notice the shifter is moving quite a bit forward/backward when I accelerate. Get to Honda, the Honda guys pull me out into the bay and are like "Hey it looks like this thing has been wrecked at least twice. Engine only had *ONE* motor mount connected. They showed me where the bumper supports and whatnot were bent back into place. Best 89.95 I've ever spent.
