Hey wussup, i'm new to this different world of tuning and racing. I used to think pretty low of honda and acura, even though i know anything can be made fast. I'm a strait up Nissan guy(still am), but i've changed in a way, now that i've experienced this new world. In fact, I went out and bought a 97' Honda Civic EX with a 95' Acura Integra LS engine(b18b1). It has a few mods, but still pretty simple. It is actually pretty fast for what it has so far, but i plan on changing it up a bit. When the owner before me did the swap, he kinda rigged it in a way. So far, i've spend $$$ fixing all the mistakes he's made and made it a lot nicer than what it was when first purchasing this car.

Mods:
- noname regular intake(probably your one of a kind walmart brand)
- noname front and rear strut bars(ebay)
- riced out hood and grill insert(also ebay)
- Greddy Evo 2 cat-back exhaust system - something nice for once
- 16" Enkei RS6 wheels (too big)
- Nitto racing tires(pretty wide as well)
- slotted and crossdrilled front discs



I plan on fixing and changing up this car to a JDM look w/ tight, mean, and balanced performance.

I'd do some engine work, but first.... I must un-rice this car....

I plan on getting:
- Black type R grill insert
- Carbon fiber hood (OEM style) - no rice slits...
- Ground Control Coilovers - I must say... I'm very pleased with these
- Dark grey 5 spoke wheels, 15" - unsure of brand... (help me decide plz)

I have some engine components as well, but I'm not too worried about those just yet.

PS- JDM styling is the New Rice, just looks 1,000,000X better.

 

1st...get rid of the the ugly hood and grille
then lower it and get new wheels.

Want to sell me your wheels? Haha jk I don't know that they would fit an Accord but I wouldn't mind having some like that.

 

Stick with your instincts....Hondas arent made to go fast.
