Default sloganish' 98 VSM hatch

***ive put 2 years of time and money into the car, and i know its not the best looking ek in the world, but im proud so here it goes...




the day i bought the car basically, it was bangin!!! i ended up paying out $3,000 for a 98 civic with dings scrapes and dents with 120k on the clock, not too bad i guess, ran like a champ!



my first mod to the car was some wheels/tires, that was the first mistake dropped around a grand for them with tires, shitty motegi ff7's with nice general tires lol, i ended up selling them about 3 months later for $750.



stock trans was a goner



xmas eve last year, dad back into me, what a shade.....

NOW HERE COMES THE ACTUAL FUN!!!





i loaded the swap up in the ek...final payment was $4300 this is what it included

FULL JDM INTEGRA XSI SWAP
LSD TRANS
CLUTCHMASTERS STAGE 3
JUN FLYWHEEL
SKUNK 2 INTAKE MANIFOLD
NEW WATER PUMP, OIL PUMP, T BELT
JDM HEADER
Mounts
new slave cylinder
a bunch of extra plugs and wires


pretty good deal seeing as how the othe parts totaled up to another 2kish










i got the car repainted







i added a rear disc swap, stainless steel brake lines, skunk2 camber kit, and i just purchased rota circuit 10's with toyo proxes, so update pics will be comin as time goes on...


recent pics


fogs and CF hood



Rota goodness

Looks good, did you at least clean the engine bay before dropping the motor in? Also lower it some more.
