It was bone stock DX 5 speed, 105k miles on it. Ever since i've been modding it slowly. I was bored today and I was looking back at a few pics from back in the day. I decided to put them together to make a timeline, because I love seeing posts like that.
I named my car "Julie" because I couldn't think of a 'whiter' name than that. I thought to myself, "What's a girl's name that only white people have?" Julie was the only one to come to mind. Ali G helped me out on that name, because he calls his 'bitches' his Julie, and they are all white. lol
The first thing I remember doing was fixing the rear hatch, because the shocks were broken. My dad got some from work (He works at Honda) and we put them on.
*I don't have pics of the car when it was bone stock because my old computer F'ed up and I lost the pics.
^ Picture this, but white. Lol, i couldn't find an official stock white civic picture.
About a month later, we got Tokico Blues w/ jackson racing springs for about a 1.5" drop. I also decided to get some Rims as well. I got Black slips in 15s wrapped in Ziex 512s 205/50
^ Sorry, only pic i have of them, when I was trying trying to sell them.
So after I dropped my car a bit, thats when i started to really get into photography. I started shooting lots of pics with my Canon A80 and my POS $15 tripod. I thought my car looked semi-decent at the time.
Installed:
Looking back I have to wonder wtf was I thinking when i posted these pics on H-T. They are horrible, and so is the car. Regardless, seeing how HT loves stock ugly cars, i always got a
Shortly after I dropped the car, I bought a system. I got 2 10" subs and a 800 watt amp, with a JVC MP3 Head unit that lights up pretty colors and some pioneer front speakers. I was thumpin. Dont have pics of that.
Its around November 2004 now, and im getting tired of my POS single cam. I got fired from my gay ice cream job, so now I have no income. I was driving one day and i make a U-Turn, and poof. There goes my axle. I can't move, so I get towed home and let the car sit in my garage for a week or so.
I call up my rich mother in who lives in Jamaica and tell her of the bad news, I tell her its about $1000 to fix. Then I talk to my dad about a swap for xmas. He agreed to a b16, I give him the $1000 to 'fix' my car, and hell pay the rest. Im like, "Cool."
Since I had no ride (because of broken axles, wouldnt make sense to get it fixed if im swapping) Xmas present came early. He got me a B18C Instead of the b16. It was $2700 + my POS DX motor. I was like "YAAAAAASSSSSSSSS". We install the motor at home in our garage. Took 4 nights to get it running because we got a wrong ECU.
With my motor installed, I had no exhaust to go with it, So i picked up a Greddy SP2 (dont have pics).
I started going to the junk yard, finding black EG carpets and panels... Sold them on HT made like $400 or something from selling stock parts. So then i bought some amber corners.
A few weeks past, I havent done anything to my car in a while... then one night at like 2am I stumbled across this DIY thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=661308 . Right there and then, I did tried it out and...
Pretty cool I thought.
So then I got some mud flaps y0!!
A few weeks or so go by again.. I find a job as a Chinese Delivery Boy. Made some good $$. I decided my Wheels were getting boring, so I decided to strip them, and at the same time I ordered some Omni Power Coilovers. I decided to strip the wheels, and while they are off, install the coilovers. I did that. Basically I woke up on day and I said, My wheels look like ***, and my car looks like a 4x4.
Stripping the wheels took longer than expected (because i was trying to polish them too, but that **** didn't work out. Too hard) So i bought some 15" steelies from my friend Matt (KrazyMC)
Finished stripping the wheels, gave up on polishing.
<FONT COLOR="red">THE THREAD I MADE ON DIY STRIPPING WHEELS https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1226651</FONT> - The highlight of my H-T Career i thought. I Started a 5 page thread !!! Awesome.
So like a week after I finish my wheels, and after all the motivation from that thread, i decided to tackle another DIY. I sprayed my Bumper Vents Black.
<FONT COLOR="red">THE THREAD I MADE ON DIY PAINTING VENTS https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1258646</FONT> - Did not turn out to be quite as big as my Wheel Stripping, but whatever.
Graduation was coming up. My grandparents planned to take me and my older sister to China for the summer. I've been wanting a new camera, so I call my rich mother up, I tell her since im going to china and all, i should get a decent camera(yea right, i just wanted 1 because im somewhat spoilt) She decides to give me $400 towards a camera. I had some money saved up from chinese delivery so I buy this:
Woohoo, I immediately found out that my POS tripod was not cuttin it, so I took one of my uncle's old tripods that he doenst use anymore. I Started taking pics. I got EK Side Skirts
One day of my dad's friends (I've known him since i was small) came up to me and asked me if he can use my car to AutoX, and he'll take me with him and introduce me to it. I was so excited I bought some LCA, because they look cool and i planned to get a sway bar (never got around to that.) He bought me a lower tie bar and some AutoX Slicks. YAAAASSSSSS.
I went AutoXing a second time after that... Just happened to be the DAY before I left to go to China. I could not have asked for a better last day with Julie 
Even thou I suck at AutoXing it is lots of fun. I beat a few cars, but still ranked in the bottom half.
Off to China w/ the grandparents and sister. Its now June 2005. I get back from my trip around the world in like July. So glad to see Julie, and now that I have familized myself a bit with the camera i got, Time to take some pics... But before I did that, I got a mugen Lip from JDMshit. I scraped it everywhere.
^-- I hit a speed bump, and the middle part of the lip bent up. Don't Ask.
Didn't really like the Lip, Sold it to a local person for just as much as i bought it for. Time for college!! I went packed up my Hatchcrap with all my belonging. 2 pairs of jeans, my laptop, my camera and tripod, and some t shirts and boxers. Off to Florida State!!
College got boring fast for me, I lived off campus, and I dont party/drink/smoke so.. there's not much for me to do. So One day I came across the "Post you random cool sticker thread", and i was like holy ****, thats tight. I ordered some stickers.
Then one weekend, I was so bored I painted my wheels gunmetal just for a new look.
https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1374578 = DIY paint wheels
Could only do two at a time because I only had 2 jackstands.
^ I think I liked them silver... but they slowly grew onto me..
^ Then I got some spoon mirrors. Visibility sucks, looks better thou IMO.
^- something is missing...
Hmmm.. OH A FRONT LIP!!
I got the JDM **** WW RS Style Lip y0! And At the same time I got some seats.
My other seat is waiting for sliders.
Next I Plan to put rear discs, when i go home for xmas. I have they at home they are laying in the garage. And since xmas is coming soon, i have to give my rich mother a call again. WW RS Sides maybe this year? I dont know.
Latest Pics are in sig.
*I know, Long *** post and lots of pics. I just thought i'd share my story with HT

Re: (duh naNG)
Your car looks pretty good, it should be quick as hell between the engine and suspension work, your pics are getting better, but what I really give you props for is telling an interesting story. The art of conversation/story telling is lost and you did it online, good job.
