civicseth's civic 4 door from the beginning....to now
Bought it in Fall of 2001 before I had my license. It is a 1994 Honda Civic DX Automatic with the stock motor, automatic, etc.
First pictures I have are after lowering it on cheap sleeve coilovers, clear corners, altezza tail lights, and chrome dub caps.
I had finally saved up enough money to get some wheels, and my old tail lights had been leaking like mad, so I upgraded to the generation 3 altezzas.
The beast of a motor: Automatic d15b7
Wrecked and messed up the front fender, so I decided to purchase some metal z-3 style ones, but didn't have the money to paint them, so I primered them white. I also got some one-piece Halo lights:
Finally got the money to paint them:
What the interior looked like at that time:
Switched out the altezzas to some stocker tail lights:
I decided it was time for a lip kit...
test fit:
and paint:
And after paint:
And then my 3A racing muffler rusted off so I drove around for a year w/out a muffler:
During that time, my motor decided to end it's life...
So time for a jdm d15b sohc vtec (still automatic):
Rolled for a year basically the same, but got some new wheels...Rota circuit 8's...
A theif decided to remove my ricey interior, so I took the liberty of changing it to all gray and power options, and getting rid of the automatic shifter in the process:
I then decided it's time for less ricey headlights and fenders, so I picked up some black housing headlights, oem fogs, and added a little bit of jdm flare.
Screw the Type Zero Side skirts! Time for EK's
And new wheels! Drag DR-16
Now it's time for some performance(greddy turbo kit):
And finally, a new spoiler, and fixed a few turbo things:
This has been over 5 years...probably a long time to some, but it's the only car I've ever owned, and I drive it every single day. Might not be much to some, but I <3 it. There's been plenty of things in between the pictures I've posted as well.
