Hey guys

As a lot of you know, I had 2 cars stolen from me within the past 6 months. My EG last year and my GSR this year. Both were stolen 4 months apart from my schools campus. Well im back at my parents house for the summer so I figured i'd spill the beans on the new build im working on. I'm still a little iffy on if I should post this up or not but i'm gong to do it anyway.

I dont feel like typing out all the details, but basically I ended up getting a 1999 Civic DX. Pretty much stock minus a few rice parts. Only 118,000 miles. Slow as shit, but I needed a car bad after my GSR got jacked. I picked it up from the guy that painted Sh!tsweak, brice.hayden, Casey's, and many other super clean cars on here. The paint is perfect.

I have plans, but i'm not telling you fools So we'll just jump right into it.

Heres some pics a few weeks after I got it.

The car had a lot of ebay shit on it, for example, this sick Bride shift boot:

Also had some Ebay headlights, cheap ass fake momo hub and steering wheel, crappy shift knob, crappy strut and tie bars, all sorts of little junk. There were also a lot of missing or broken OEM peices. Like one of the visor holders was cracked, and the E brake button as cracked off. So I really wanted to basically get the car back to stock clean parts before I really started getting into it.

Well, first thing was first. Security. I went to my boy Alan to do a hidden/tucked/stealth/legit alarm right away. Heres the car at his shop:

Top notch work, super thrilled, and I still have the car so thats a plus!

So, feeling safe, I went ahead and starting stacking parts and having them shipped to my parents house while I was still at school:

I'll have another update for you guys tonight. I just wanted to get this posted up so I can start throwing in my updates. A lot has already changed since I got the car so keep watching!

Trust me, this car has its share of unclean problems. Paint and body is pretty much perfect on it though.

Thanks guys...

Heres an update like I promised:

So first, real basic, I can't stand not having floor mats, so I nabbed up some brand spanking new OEM ones. Thanks Joey!:

Freshhhhhhh

So when I got the car it had a really garbage steering wheel setup. Some cheap plastic fake momo hub and a super cheap "Type S" steering wheel. I wanted to get another quick release setup anyway, so I went ahead and picked up the whole standard NRG setup. Also ended up buying a pretty unique Personal wheel as well

I can learn to read and count while I drive...

But I ran into a little problem with the old hub that came with the car. For some reason it was smashed onto the steering column splines. I think that one of the previous owners got the wrong hub for the car and just decided to hammer it onto the splines:

Even the strongest man alive, brice.hayden couldn't get it off...

So I ended up replacing the steering column with a fresh one:

And heres a little preview of the next update :

baller862 · 05-10-2009, 11:33 AM

oo round three Huh? Good to see that you dumped out cash on the alarm! I love that color+the wheels. Looks great! good luck!
