Default Project "lil Red" (Build)

well first off i traded a little 2wd toyota for this car and so far im in love lol
it has some dents and dings all 4 tires were diffrent sizes hah, but it gets great mpg! heres some picks etc.



Dent in hood -.- its been in a little wreck i guess also i removed the walmart tint(Bubbles like no other and each window was a diffrent color lol.


muffler is on the wrong side -.-( is there a bumper that had the exsaust cut out on the right side? jw.


Hole in the dash... whyy?!



theres the motor, did a little paint job just to make her a lil good looking


opinion on motor? id like to do a swap but maybe to much for me right now at this point


new rims and tires rides nice now!




then were it sits now with the black rims

pull the rubbing compound and wax and buffer out, looks like you can save that paint before it takes a crap

car looks like a great platfrom! i love my a6 peppy little motor. looks like half the work on your car is done, since it has been mpfi swapped already. i'd go to a muffler shop and have them put the can on the correct side of the car. definately a drop would be nice, i'd order megan lowering springs. nice drop, good ride, and affordable

the hole in your dash is from the center vents/clock, pick them up from the jy they just pop in there.

the car looks like it was the base model civic hatch so they didn't come with that engine the original engine must have been a d15b1 dual point fuel injection, the d16a6 is from the si version of this hatch, but looks like a great start on the car!
