So.. I finally made an account after numerous time's I've visited this site for help and DIY guides. Names Randy, 19 years old, college student, and I drive a 1998 Honda Civic CX Hatchback with a JDM D15B Non VTEC. Has around 60k miles on the motor and trans. Ordered it off Tiger Japan and I got to say it runs like brand new--My close good friend of mines helped me swapped the motor into my car. I bought the hatchback just the shell itself with full interior and exterior. This is my daily drive to school and back home. Not trying to do anything major yet till I finish school (2 Years) so in the meantime I'm just slowly adding mods and gaining experience mechanical wise. Seen too many people of Facebook posting up that their car got stolen. Makes me nervous and paranoid sometimes Even though my car is low and slow, it's my daily commuter and I love saving $ on gas with this motor.

So far mods and changes:

- JDM D15B $600+ shipping I think
- Motor drop Free from my closest friend
- 1998 Honda Civic CX complete exterior and interior 7/10 condition $650
- Progess CS-II Coilovers $700
- Password JDM bumper quick release $35
- New driver and passenger door panels $30
- 00 SI wheels with new tires $200(First pair of wheels I ever owned and bought)
- New Tires all around -$300
- Traded my carbon fiber duckbill for a oem spoiler light (Hard to find in my area)
- Re painted windshield chrome wipers, side body moldings, grille and that one piece outside the window. Before and After
- Aftermarket radio $150
- OEM Cargo cover $30-- HELL OF A DEAL!!
- Install Essentials 451M Dooor Lock Relay Module $10
- Directed Electronics 520T Back-Up Battery System $20
- Install Essentials 507M Tilt Sensor $20
- Viper 5704v Full Feature Car Alarm with Remote Start and 2-way Pager $190
- Install Essentials 524N High Power Door Lock Motor $17
- Alarm install $200 (Plan on re doing it for a discreet alarm install)

Note: I had a full time job at the time when I bought everything. I'm now a full time college student, so i'm broke as a joke lol.

Before and Now pictures of the car.

Here's a photo of me
Alright well I couldn't think of anything else on the top of my head, but I plan on doing a lot of major modifications.
Future plans: Right hand drive conversion, K swap or B series motor swap, 5 lug nut conversion, SIR full conversion, add sunroof, and probably change out the whole interior. I'll keep it updated if anyone's interested. Anyways there's my introduction. If you read up to this point thanks! Cheers!
