For starters my name is Armani, stationed out in Texas currently working on finishing my last year in the Army. I consider myself new to the car enthusiast scene and learning as I go.

I purchased a 1999 Civic SI (EM1) in 2012. She was poorly treated, ricer vynls, dings left and right... I have slowly been turning it around.

This is how she looked exactly when I bought her.


Old Motor


New Motor


Changes I've done so far;

B16A2 to K24a2
Tanabe Concept G Medallion Exhaust
Varrstoen T1 for my wheels of choice

Goals:

Paint OEM Red
Suspension
Cams, Pistons, Rods -
Intake Manifold -
Headers -
K20z1 Head (fully port and polished) -
DC2 Recaro Seats

 

Guess no one likes some dericing, lol.

 

Welcome to HT and to the EM1 fam. I'm in for this.

Wheels aren't my favorite, but whatever. I'd go straight OEM for the outside and a nice paint job and she'll be sitting nice.

 

I just recently changed the wheels (Varsstoen T1), since the ones in the picture came with the car when I got it.

 

Yo how much did you spend on that k24 swap ?

 

I think it was around 4ish

 

Thanks helped alot

 

How she sits now with the suspension, new wheels and my new hub adapter/axles/bearings.

 

Nice to meet you Armani, I'm new to the site too but not cars. I like the swap! good for you bro. Also on a side note, thank you for your service. You are a better man than I. I was "this close" to signing for the Air Force when I was younger but I slept on it and went to Universal Technical Institute instead.

I do like the rims you have on now!

 

@Shambler2; Thanks mate, appreciate it. I'll continue to upload pictures as they come. Finally got my suspension installed.
