Little about myself, I'm 19, work at a quick lube in the evenings, and attend a technical college during the day for automotive repair. I was never raised around cars, but always had an interest, never had anyone to teach me about them and learned everything I know so far on my own, and am constantly trying to learn more. I've never owned an import before this honda, always had american vehicles.

and on to the civic: Bought the vehicle bone stock. originally forest green and all dented up. It is an auto, but i plan for a swap sometime in the future. It's pretty much stock engine wise besides the intake that came on it when i bought it and the exhaust I put on it.
I've put new axles, thermo, rad, and dizzy in since owning the car, it has a full no-name exhaust i got off a buddy for real cheap, and is lowering on ground control/koni yellows. 5% tint all the way around, and yeah, i am a stickerwhore, i know not a lot of people like stickers but I do. Interior is all stock besides some no name ebay steering wheel (want a NRG qr and wheel) It is sitting on 15x7 drag dr20s with 205/50/15 nitto neogens in the front and 195/55/15 falkens in the rear. it has a rear tie bar on it too. It is plasti-dipped black, which is really only temp. till i can afford a full paint job. It is a daily, i drive it to work and tech every day. I'm always looking for suggestions on what to upgrade on it to make it a better vehicle, so if you have any let me know.

 

Welcome, and nice civic. First bit of advice if you haven't already, put loctite on the 6 steering wheel screws...I've had those loosen up, not sure if it's the way I drive or the vibration from the bass in my car but either way not a good day lol other than that maybe clean up the valve cover, and I'm going to assume you've already aligned the car since lowering, but looking good so far

 

yeah, it's been aligned. I have heard of using loctite on them, but i eventually plan on changing it out for a better quality steering wheel and hub hopefully. And the valve cover was an idea, i've been deciding on if i'm staying sohc so i haven't touched it yet. but thanks man

 

No prob, pm me if you ever need advice on anything and good luck

 

Thanks, appreciate it man.
