New (kinda) to Honda-Tech!
Hey guys im somewhat new to HT , ive been browsing it for some time, reading what you guys have to say, and laughing at some people on these forums.
I drive a 96 civic hatch. Its my pride and joy. Been building it for almost 4 years now off and on and its been a blast.
Ill post some pictures up here so you guys can check it out, im not going to go into parts yet, cause its just wayy to much to list, but if you have ANY questions/comments please feel free to post away!
And thanks already for the warm welcomes!!

its the normal Ls/Vtec setup. Up to a 2.1L.
and ya, its not suppost to look like a 700hp car . the front tires go by very very fast on it.. but its all about how to control the throttle, and everyone knows that.
i go through front tires about once ever 2 months
and ya, the audio is a bit much I have to agree, but we also wanted to show it as a show car, won a few awards *best honda of motor trend 07*, Dyno challenge, etc. so we tried to have fun in all area's, but still keep it a daily driver!

Aesthetically the only complaint I'd have about it is that it sits too high. I'm sure that a stiff set of lower springs, at very least, isn't something that just hadn't occurred to you ... what's kept you from altering the suspension? Or have you in fact altered it, and it's just not any lower? I'd think that stiffened suspension would have quite a bit to do with keeping 700+ hp planted.

wow, gorgeous car!! And yeah it's perfect hight. I had my car slammed and had to raise it for slicks, looks weird at times, but soo much nicer to not have to slow down to rocks on the road. haha

Very nice indeed.
Hopefully I can get my 96 hatch to look like that one day. My whole family doesnt think it is a good idea to put money into my car, but I dont care.
Just curious, what did you use for the suspension? I want my car to sit at about that height, since I too hate slammed setups.

Re: New (dj_gizmo)
thanks for all the love .
It sits that high for 2 reasons.
1.because the back scratches when launching with slicks on.
2. My slicks wont fit on the car if its any lower, and living in Colorado we have alot of drive ways with large lips in the front.. so it scratches.
3. its running straight off of a 4" downpipe right now so its pretty wicked sounding, I should have a few video's up in the next few weeks so you guys can see what it sounds/feels like.
and the guy that said it looks like a b16 head well..ya your right, its a b16 head, but a LS block, and a Type R Tranny..
P.S. They are 1200cc injectors, not 750
ALSO! Runing on STOCK type R Axels but those should be blowing up soon i bet.. haha
