When i had court(speeding ticket) i went and fought it>>>>and i won!!! :woohoo: cop didint show!! so i decided to celebrate!!!
picked up some itr seats



I cleaned up the rear a little bit. dry ice is the ****!!!


FInished product, 4 cans of color and 3 clear.(((((SHOUT OUT TO MY HOMIE ALEX A.K.A MUGEN 12.35SEC FOR HELPING ME IN MAKING IT HAPPEN!!)))))

If the last pics is your current setup it looks really good. Mind if I ask what exhaust that is? Looks like a ws2?

At first, I was confused scrolling through the pictures. Things seemed to change at random. But, that last picture... wow. I love the 5th gen hatch profile.

I agree with all posts above...looks awesome.

The title and 1st post did remind me of that episode of my strange addiction with the guy who had a relationship with his car (intimate) haha

**** yeah, thanks dude! You just made me feel reassured, because the day before yesterday I ordered my first set of brand new suspension I've ever bought for a car, lol! I ordered Koni yellows along with 500f and 400r ground control coilovers. I haven't gotten any top hats yet, but I was going to go with the ebay ones too. I'm planning on a little more offset and 16's on mine, maybe around 16x7 +20. I have a 1999 Civic Hatch, hopefully that fills the wells decently without sacrificing much function. How are the Blox upper control arms in the front, no issues with the shock towers? No sway bars yet but they are in the plans. So basically we're going to have almost the exact same suspension setup, haha! I was stressin' over the spring rates, never having ordered anything like that before. I feel better now, thanks for answering!

PS...that stance is ******* stellar. ****, everything about that car is stellar. One of the best I've ever seen, well done!

Thanks man. You're gonna love that set up!! They might be border line too stiff for the road but well worth it! Freeway on and off ramps are going to be a constant reminder of your great decision. If you're planning on lowering your car anywhere close to where I'm at make sure you get some extended top hats at least for the front. They will make your shocks last and work more efficient. My ebay ones have been working great with no problem at all!! 1yr and counting. You just have to bore out the hole from the top bushing a little bit in order to allow the shock stem slide through the top hat. A quick trim with a dremel will make it happen.. FIY just be careful when torquing down the strut bolts because they tend to break if you do it too hard. The blox upper control arms are still great! make sure you preload the control arm and then tighten. Basically just raise the arm where you think its gonna be once the wheels are on and the car is on the floor. If you tighten the bolts down before you preload they will start tearing once the arm goes up to its normal position since the bushings don't move freely. I had to cut the top of the strut tower to allow the arm to go up that high. I've been like that for 5 yrs and i haven't felt any difference in the rigidness of the body. But I'm planning on welding a new top on the shock towers. I highly recommend ITR anti-sway bars you will definitely feel a major improvement on body roll. One more thing i have a godspeed xbar and that thing did wonders!!! You should look into that as well. Way better than just the strut towers. You can actually feel the difference. I got mine polished at magmasters and it looks like chrome. You made a great decision going with those spring rates. Make sure they ship you the right ones. They accidentally sent me the regular springs that they usually come with the coilover set up. If i had put them on they would've been able to exchange them. There's numbers on them so you can call and confirm the spring rates. Good luck!

That's great. But don't post it in the tech section. There's an Appearance and Build section for a reason.

It's a Jdm ej cluster. Unfortunately it was an automatic one so I had to cover up the gear selection indicators lol. I don't mind that much though. I like it because the needles glow res and the back light is amber.
