what to do with my civic
well first off, a little background...
i used to have a 90 crx si, traded it for a 93 civic cx hatchback
this hatchback has a d16a6 head, on a dx bottom end, with a third gear grinder dx tranny, and a dx ecu...
the interior is painted blue, but i'll probably paint it black to keep things relatively cheap
the car has a pioneer head unit, ichiban shift ****, mtx fronts, rockford subs and amp, carbon fiber tails, projectors, it will have a black widow rear/skirts.. front stock with a lip.... i dont care much about how the outside looks...
i'll have around a 100 to start with, what next? the car is phantom grey im pretty sure, but when i put the kit on i'm painting it the same color as car, and i'll also redo the front right fender.... has crx si wheels on it also
not looking for flames, just what to do, im going to be going to college soon, so saving up 2000 for a b-series isn't gonna happen

yah you cant do much with $100. if i were you i would sell all that audi ****. give away the lights. put the stock stuff in, and maybe you can get enough money together to buy a nice set of coils or something. i would sell the kit too. maybe you can get a little money and then i would probably buy a nice exhuast next. then search around for a job maybe

There's not much to do with $100.. If you don't have plans to really do something with it performance wise, I'd say start with any problems and then mess around w/ the suspension.

Re: what to do with my civic (stingray2772)
ok, i'll expand some more, the car came with a kit, currently no sides are on it, and my back bumper has a lot of scratchs in it, so since i'm already buying paint to do the sides, and i have kit sides, im going to paint the kit, if i had all the stock stuff id keep it at that, im not much for kits and stuff, i should have kept my rex, but i didn't and now i have new projects...
the car has a huge mufflar (must be replaced with something...)
car has a ractive intake (should i replace this? i know ractive sucks, it has a shield around the intake but i dont know if i should just take that off, buy a k&n filter and throw on it or what)
i have lots of questions on these cars as things look like half-assed in mine, the ecu is like sitting on the floor in mine, im not sure how its supposed to look, i tried pushing it on the bracket, but the wire sticks out, does a plastic shield cover it? also my lights on the heat controls dont work, how do i test them?
i think it has a dx exhaust mani, d16a6 intake mani.... what would be in a range of 0-250 that would be something worthwhile to buy? it also has coilovers on it, and a short shifter
my main thing for this car is to look good, be reliable, able to have some fun (not much fun now, this car is slow as poo), and decent handling

there is a metal bracket that holds it in place and it also has a plastic thing to hold the wires too. kind of hard to explain. get a job inside of selling weed
