Default BrayzieEF9 EJ7 Build 56k Beware!!!

As some of you may know me from my ED7 Build (https://honda-tech.com/forums/appearance-build-threads-122/brayzies-ef9-build-2732653/), this will be the aftermath of that build. So let's get started, I picked up this completely bone stock CLEAN TITLED 1997 Honda Civic HX for $1200 from Copart.com plus buyer fees $390. It had 274,XXX miles on it, but the motor looked rebuilt.Since the hoses and most of everything was fairly new.So I get it towed to a buddy's house and swapped in a new battery and it fired right up.So I was like sweet.....2 days later install a nice security system.SO THEIVES BEWARE!!! YOU WILL GET SHOT ON SIGHT!!!! and replaced the driver side window regulator.A couple weeks later I swap the whole suspension and install a decent sound system.I will update this thread every so often with small and big updates.
PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK!!! IF YOU VISIT THIS THREAD!!!

The day I got it.










Installing suspension

KYB AGX's with Extended tophats
BLOX F + R Camber Kit
Function7 LCA's
Skunk2 Lower Tie Bar













Got new tires mounted and balanced and a alignment.

So my car, took a **** on me last night. The spark plug wire shot off the spark plug.So today I re-torque the spark plugs to spec and troubleshoot all the CEL's. and now it's back to perfect running condition.
