Default Whats up HT! New to this, Suggestion to engine swap? (+My story)

I got my 1998 civic coupe, had it for about a year now. Been working on it ever since. First of all, This was my bros car, he got bapped while a car was trying to back up. He didnt use it after that, so i went to a roadtrip with my *****s picked the car up in LA then back home to the bay area. yee

Here are the pics from the stock start.



Here are pics of my first Set of shoes.



New steering wheel/ nrg quick release.



Then got tired of the forrest green. thought i'd hustle for a free paintjob. For about 15 at most PS3 games at a local Earl scheibs.

Before.


Wet sand process.


After.



This is my recent pic of how my car looks now. i know people say all show blah, blah, blah.. now im tryna swap my ****. D16Y8 isnt enough. any suggestions/comments?

Thanks for stopping by!

Its okay
But i think electron blue pearl(or similair colors) look weird on 96-98 body. At least from someone that knows his hondas.
But it looks nice nonetheless

nice car. not a huge fan of the paint color. but those wheels are awesome.

in my personal opinion. i wouldnt go with a rack on a 2 dr. it just seems like a sedan thing

other than that keep up the good work

Nice car man, Where did you get your roof rack, I have been looking for one. And i got a b16 with a gsr head and a gsr trans for $1200 from my buddy who h swapped his teg, just keep an eye out, deals pop up all the time. b series is a good platform to build off or you could go d series turbo and make all those na b swapped cars look bad.

I actually got my Bike rack on Craigslist for a good price of 140 w/ everything needed and 2 bike carriers. I was kinda leaning towards boosting my y8, but thinking more of going stage 2 ..so see what happens. ill update when i do get my swap done.

If you need to carry your bike, you need a rack, ya know.. I see your point about it being a sedan thing though.

Nice looking car, the paint job looks a little cheapy but I like the color.
