From rice to nice? smithenhiven's EJ8
Here are some pics of my 98 Civic DX. My photography skills are below average, so bear with me. Also, pics are being hosted on imagestation and I was surprised how bad the quality of the pics turned out after being uploaded, and it's questionable if they'll always be displayed or not.
It came along way from what it looked like a year ago.
Originally a rice bucket as seen here below (O man was that bad):
To what we have today, an Si wannabe
:
Some interior shots (interior is kind of messy at the moment):
Si leather, front and back,
99-00 Climate Control Conversion,
and only 43K original miles.
And that's my car. All comments are welcome.
Thanks for looking.

Thanks, I agree, the headlights came out a little too black.

Definitely a nice Si clone though. Is it swapped?

Not yet, I had plans to do a B20 build, but the block I had wasn't the best. It will be swaped one day though if I keep it, I'm thinking about selling it.

yeah, it's auto. The shift **** is manual, but that's because I seriously thought I was going to convert the car to 5 speed (I had stuff tore apart and what not) and I prematurely changed that over before I put the 5 speed tranny in. When I gave up on the 5 speed conversion, I couldn't find where I put the auto shift ****, so I left it the way it is.
