Welp....i been missing driving a Honda for yearssss...i tried too get a lil project while back, but got overwhelmed and it was too far gone for me too wanna put anymore money in it.

So after a few mths looking for something swapped already to start with, i came up with nothing...nothing fit my criteria of what i wanted my car too be in the end...or too much work needed

Which brings us here.....i found a prettyyyyy clean STOCK 2000 Civic EX:




Thats the night i bought it....few dings, nicks...nothing major at all.














Interior is stupidddd clean....it doesnt even look like anyone has ever sat in the back

This is exactly the car for me....its what i been looking for for a longggg time....stock and clean, so i can just add to it and NOT fix many things.

Im unsure of the direction this will go, its probably gonna be total different than most others.

Im keeping allll amenities that came with it....fulllll interior, A/C, PS, and cruise.

Im still debating on what swap to do....Bseries is soo much more budget friendly...but that Kswap DOE

Bluto!

looks good to me, whats next?

Skip01

Gonna take it slow...im just enjoying driving it stock right now lol.

In the end its gonna be my lil weekend toy

Well today i put on some smoked taillights....jury still out on if theyll stay or not:







They fit pretty well so ill see how they wear on me

Eddie

Thing is clean man. The tails look pretty good I can dig it

r_Senik

every time i see your post op, i think of mc phat.
tail lights not my cup of tea, the stock oem with a little smoke tint would look better IMO.
civic looks like a perfect mold doe.

Skip01

Yeh....i seen some and im like yuck immediately but these...idk...may stay may not



Yeh, i might buy some other stock ones and get those smoked a lil...these fit pretty good though.....i may leave em not sure just yet


Bought a lip from a local guy for $25....just test fitting it here








It fit pretty good...ima get it painted and than might install....need some 3m adhesive tape....it looks like it only gives u 4 screws.... 2 for each side

I really want a full SI lip kit...front n rear painted and call it a day

Skip01

Man these headlights was horrendous.....lil plasticx to the rescue....til i can find some decent priced CTR or other OEM








Looks 100x better...should have some parts rolling in this week.

nabs.no.abs

can't even tell that those tail lights are smoked lol. but they don't look half bad. waiting to see what's to come

Skip01

Yeh its a subtle difference....i think it like it that way....but still thinking on it, see if they last me out


I also remembered a longggg time ago about someone posting a HOW-TO on getting your bumper to fender gap a lot tighter, well i did it too

This is what i started with:







And after a lil massaging and some bolts n washers instead of the factory crap:



The other side was messed up but i didnt get any before pics:




Still need a lil adjusting but its a lot better than stock...my other side is actually missing the loop on the bumper it broke off so this was the only way to fix it for now.

Some packages came in to today....post them up later....yummy stuff

EK4 SIR cluster





And thanks too my MAIN MAN b18ctrb for the hookups...ALWAYS minty parts

EDM Jordan Civic in MPH










Also from b18ctrb ...EDM grill...mintyyyyy:

Skip01

Stopped by my buddy Steve at CNR Performance's shop, In Baton Rouge , Louisisana, the other day...discuss some plans for some much needed power options

Heres some pics of their drag car...think its been 9.8s:

Had a super hard rain this morning....and i opened door to go somewhere and by my tweeter pillar it was wet...and could see where it dripped down a bit onto the speaker grill

Kinda annoyed me....only thing i could think i did was install a antenna block off plate and had too push the antenna down and it mighta rubbed the drain tube in moof roof...IDK...doesnt seem like that

But i checked my mirror on drivers side and the bolts were hand tight....so im thinking it was that...i snugged em up and it tightened that rubber on it so prolly was that

cetcivic

good luck with build

and please dont put that lip on

Skip01

Thanks...i got another one in i like a lil better...didnt want something over aggressive...but that one was 25$ so couldnt pass it up

I bought that one...too tide me over til i find a OEM SI lip....maybe even buy one from honda for an exuberant amount

Skip01

Also any thoughts on this......keep lips and side skirts unpainted

And plastidip the moldings too kinda tie it all together?

Just an idea

Skip01

I love getting Honda parts in...something special about it:









Windshield wipers new, trunk plastic piece and some trunk screws/push bolts


Oh and i dropped off a front and rear lip with my side skirts too get painted...should be on Friday....see if it brings it out nicely

Skulleds

Clean man. Can't wait to see where you take this.

Skip01

Thanks man... Got some big updates coming in few weeks

Skip01

So so clean welding.....i shoulda got some better pics but i didnt...its already packed up for powdercoat

Skip01

Got lip on...waiting on new OEM hardware for side skirts and need too put grill and rear lip on as well

Paint came out nice....super close...just needs too get same amount of dust on it as OE paint lol

Skip01

Got EDM grill put on today






Also , is that a normal hood too grill gap...just seems a lil high to me

Sebba
