Civic save story
So I just wanted to share my excitement with everyone. I will start from the beginning..... When I was a young stupid teenager i had no respect for authority and disregarded all street laws. Well i got introuble, alot, 4 O.A.S. violations which rewarded me with a loss of license...... for 3 YEARS!!! 
It sucked. So i had to store my hatch in a garage under a cover. Well this afternoon I uncovered my beloved 93 Honda Civic CX B16a swap. The car has not been registered since 09/2004. As I removed the cover i was a little nervous it was not my car? It was covered with so much dust i couldn't tell what it was. After a quick wash I was suprised to feel my pants get tight. 
I will keep you all posted with the status of how it runs when i get it back on the road. Here are some pics of the Hatch. Let me know what you all think. And Please list any suggestions that you think I should add to the car. Parts that are alreadt on order.... JDM tail lights, JDM style fog lights. Gay BIG *** tach removal 
Kenwood In-Dash 7" touch screen TV. I think that is all....

Maybe get a newer style set of wheels?
The wheels on there are very '02.
Hard to tell from the smallish pics and my high res monitor, but they look like slipstreams??

Re: (Riced-EL)
You should remove your projector headlights. good turn around though. I didn't loose my license, I was one point away so I haven't driven my car in about 4 years but I keep it looking fresh. Ive had my car for 7 years and it was stolen twice. Im actually thinking about selling it. Its a Shame to see it sit with no one enjoying it.

Re: Civic save story (Hookeduphatch)
I have coil overs and kyb 5-way adjustable shocks in teh car. I had to lift it up to stock height for towing purposes. Yes they are slipstreams 15lbs a peice with rubber on them. Why would I change? It looks better when the car is lowered. I ll post more pics after i lower it again.

Re: Civic save story (Hookeduphatch)
maybe I just dont know the short hand but what is O.A.S.? anyways I once had a clean ek and ripped the whole front end off while drinking and driving. Then I got my eg and only drove it for like 3 months before I had to park it for a year. that car got so much done to it in the driveway, I put a body kit and wide body on it, then removed it and sold it before I even drove around with it. Hell if it wasnt for the down time I probally would have as much invested in it as I do. it sucked but allowed me to get a bunch of work done to it. congrats man, and be careful.

Re: (Civic_07)
i am building the motor. No turbo. I like to be natural asperated. The hood latch rusted so the hood doesnt latch at the moment. I am thinking the m3 mirrors. Any other suggestions for mirrors?n I also just ordered the JDm style front and rear lips.

Re: (Hookeduphatch)
i'd just use the stock mirrors or some spoon style one. I think you'll be dissappointed with the m3 ones they won't flow with the car very well, just my opinion.
