last wash before i got some more looooooooong awaited goodies!!


finally got all my goodies so i can put new shoes on the wagon!! Skunk2 front camberkit, megan racing rear camberkit, and the Custom order 16" Motegi MR224's rebarreled to 16 x 9.5 -10offset and powdercoated frost white with crushed glass clearcoat


a few hours after the camberkits came in they were getting chopped up and custom fabricated for more camber and so the arm would clear the strut.


huge thanks to my good friend Ken Snipes for helping me out all night long getting everything fabbed, installed, and rolling my fenders


on and rolling, had too much camber in the rear and didnt like it much






finally took out alot of camber in the rear and put on my DA9 front lip




getting her all cleaned up for a meet


chillin in seattle with my buddy and his J swapped coupe


Pikes Market


Chilling with my buddies at a meet


At the EF reunion


Wagon wall!! there was a total of 20 wagons at the EF reunion




there are a few more things that i have done recently that i havent snapped any pictures of.. ill be sure to get them up soon enough

actually the mirror delete isnt JDM its USDM, the blockoff plates were an option from honda from factory.. i will be taking the other mirror off and putting fender mirrors on as soon as i can find the other blockoff plate (driver side is the hardest to find)

and the risers will be coming out. i lifted the hood because i was about to put a K20Z3 in but i changed my mind last minute and im going to be putting a J32 in instead

and yeah im stationed at Ft Lewis, this fkn state rains way too fkn much! its annoying

Not as bad as drum. But I hear you on that. The J-swap is a good choice. More power stock than most of the turbo civics you see.

My Civic came without a passenger-side mirror from the factory. I had to install a later model EF mirror... Don't understand why anyone would WANT that removed.

Oh no! I'm not there haha. I got out, I still have a friend who is stationed there. Sucks from what I see and hear.

And the J is amazing. I love my 4 cylinder, don't get me wrong, but the extra cylinders does give it better torque and a nicer sound.

i have heard horror stories about that place, i NEVER want to go there. ive been stationed in Germany, California, and here in WA. i have 2 more years on my contract and ill be done with 10 years.

yeah i had a friend with a J32 and J35 internals and a tune, made a little shy of 330whp in his 1996 civic coupe
