the car is usdm by the way lol. left hand drive. I plan to make it styled after an RS. First thing to go on are tein basics. Then some abs dynamics type-a front, back, and side skirts. After that comes a type-r wing from a teggy. Then some work emotion xt7's in 16x7 wrapped in falken azenis rt-615. after i finish up the suspension and exterior im gonna swap in a k or if dezod comes out with the new fi manifold in time ill go turbo.

put your money into the Mitsubishi instead of the Civic. Better power for money ratio

Yeah, I'm going to agree there. I'd much rather have a fast AWD car, than a fast FWD car with loads of bodywork.

I failed to mention that my friend who passed on wanted to keep the evo stock. I will honor his wish to keep it untainted. Before he left I had plans already to modify the civic. I can't decide if I should convert to an EL front or keep it simple with a lip. i would rather have the EL front to be different.

you already have an evo, why would you want to make your CIVIC look like an EVO? sorry but i think it's going to come out looking like a piece of ****.

I'm curious, but is there a reason WHY he wanted you to keep it stock? Kind of a weird request... I figure if I was him, I'd just tell you to not mess it up.

That'd be fine. The RS is a nice looking sedan.
