Default Best OEM "mods???" for civic?

Hello fellow HONDA-TECHERS!!

I used to own a 1997 integra w/ a fully built LS-Vtec. I sold it & purchased a 1997 honda Civic EX, completely stock.

now i purchased a few mods that i already knew I wanted..

-Honda Domani front end conversion
-Tien S. Tech lowering springs

*saving for a K20 or K24 swap

I came to a conclusion that i wanted to stick with OEM mods but im not sure what would be sweet OEM mods or what would be kinda stupid??

OEM mods are for interior & exterior only please

*im not modding the motor until i get my k-swap

SOOOOOOOOOOOO....????? WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK?

Q: What kind of profile tire would i get for 90-93 Accord alloy wheels, if i wanted to get low profile tires?

THANKS GUYS!!! Suggestions welcomed

Haters are welcomed if you have a legit reason why

Is there a wiring diagram for the s2k cluster? I found some CTR seats I'm thinking about getting.

And I haven't decided on the 5 lug. Would it be a good decision since I'll eventually be getting a K-series?

There's a couple links I found real quick for the s2000 cluster swap...I remember there being a better one somewhere but I can't find it right now...those should at least give you an idea of what you're getting into since you're looking into the idea. Hope this helps.

Teg sway bar, wheels, seats, brakes... S2K clusters are sweet, CTR clusters are sort of cool, not worth $400 though. Maybe Si grill and lip. Check out the visual section and steal ideas from others...

These are great idea's too

Personally, i think the S2K looks like ***, but everyone has different tastes. As far as CTR clusters costs go, just shop around, i paid $200 for mine shipped

The lip and grill do look very good, giving a clean look

Mind me asking what you paid, and what was included?
How much was shipping?

Thanks.

you could install the Civic dash. That'd be sweet!

Going 5 lug would let you run 36mm axles...you'll need them. Otherwise, there are some specially machined 36mm 4 lug hubs. Dunno who makes them Rick_Rabies put a set on his car.

would i need 36mm or 32mm 5 lug for a k-swap?
or do i need them at all?

im going to get an S2K cluster and im doin my interior in CTR.

Anyone know where i can get a complete exhaust from a civic type r? or atleast a muffler?


I got a domani front end conversion and i paid $860 including shipping. and it only took a week to get to my house... not bad because i thought it'd be more

You dont need 5 lug for a k swap. You could do 32mm or 36mm.

Try giving, n1 concepts, weaksauce,jdmspeedworx a call. Im sure one of them can get you a muffler or exhaust.
