Default new to HT, my project

Just started tuning, my first civic...Some of it already done, plan on dropping new engine next tax season, for now its my DD.
d16z6
Chipped p28
NGk Plugs /wires
Cold air intake
Stage 2 clutch
Front / rear Upper and lower struts
Del-sol seats
Nothing spectacular.



















Just gave her a bath in these pictures, I think its stock Epearlblue.

Just ordered Cat and Axel back, and found DC 4-2-1 headers online for 80.
Next I need a new Harness, and Dizzy, Fuel rail, and larger throttle body and intake manifold.

digging those del sol seats. if u plan to swap motor later down the road.....dont spend too much on that single cam....save up that $ for the swap. or buy used from the marketplace here on HT. just my opinion.

Glad you're enjoying the car. It's not to my tastes, but it isn't mine. Good luck with the build.

I hope you can take criticism good because you are gonna get alot of it here. The car is nice and it looks clean but my advice to you would be to take off that bodykit, Unless you like it then by all means keep it(bodykits were popular during the 1st fast and furious movie) over all good start.. and dont waste your money on motor parts if you are gonna swap the motor out. Did you say what motor you are getting?

Well, if you threw some stock tail lights in it and took those glow gauges and big *** tachometer out, and also rid yourself of those neon sprayers, then the car would look pretty nice. Not digging the body kit, but at least the whole car is painted a nice color, so if you don't have the money to paint it I would leave it alone. And are you missing your temp gauge needle? What engine are you planning on slamming down in it?

Im hoping i can do a JDM B18c gsr or typeR engine. anyone know good things about SunriseJDMmotors? their both on there for what i figured a reasonable price.

On the rice, Kit is a pain in my ***, bought it that way, on the picture up close of the front bumper on the left where the big mouth is, its cracked in half. Chipped out, and touch up paint pain in my ***. Its going when I get cash. LED's old, Seats New, Tach new because cluster. and its only 3 1/2 inch, with no monster ugly shift light.

and i have under the ash tray a temp gauge.

Its ricey, Its going to get better. As i afford things, ill post changes.

Criticism is awesome

It's good you have a good attitude. Many people on H-T like to talk a ton of $hit. I'm glad to here the body kit will be going eventually though. I haven't heard of sunrisejdmmotors. Most people on here seem to go with hmotorsonline.
