Default New DD for now... :)

I picked this up for a DD. Not sure how a coupe will work out instead of a 4 door but hell... if it don't you'll see it on here for other reasons. lol
2000 Civic EX Coupe
Mini Me/manual swap with low low miles. (Motor that was in it was shot from sitting with a blown head gasket.) Swapped trans from an auto to a manual. Tokico Blues w/H&R springs. 16" Track R's. That's it so far.

Yah...I figure I might have to put her in from the driver side to get her in the passenger side rear until she's big enough for it to face forward.

Makes sense to do it. That way you can actually have a seat position to let a tall passenger in your car! lmao

Your right...just read that it is the safest and keeps her away from the car body during side impacts. That will make it work alot easier.

Did the Mini Me outta necessity but only plans are different suspension to go lower, exhaust, front lip, tint, then this spring smooth out the dings and repaint it Midnight Black Pearl. No major motor mods as this gets driven 60 miles a day to and from work.
