So many of the people who know me online or through the Honda scene know me by my old civic. Even many of my close friendships are a result of the time I spent on my civic running around for parts, finding extra hands to help with swaps, and getting involved with some local shops.

I have many fond memories from this time and after discovering all of my old pictures I thought I would reminisce a little and let everyone in on it... hope you enjoy


the first pic I EVER took of my civic




my love for black housed headlights started early. You can see by the style of the automobiles behind me about what year this was...






My first windshield replacement, a result of bad hoodpins haha
ps. this guy was freaking crazy, literally thought he was a profit!




Love this early pic of my civic




I used to bounce this thing off the red line like it was no one's business... and I paid for it repeatedly




before the art of a rolling shot made any sense to me... obviously haha




The early early click




when my lug nuts were still red, not pink!




The only pic I have of my car without a CF hood




The car club thing for me was very short-lived, but it was fun and I still keep in touch with many of the dudes who were in UNIT-ZERO haha... love that ****




This might have been a first "photo-shoot" thanks to the good buddy kevedge, some classics in this bunch, here are a couple








oh yah forgot this earlier pic just before installing the CF tailgate. I knew I wanted one from the first time I saw it as Access Motors...

eventually I got one as a gift from a pretty cool chick. The same chick who I later purchased my Integra from




I like to refer to my years of driving around in this civic my "fat years"... I think the reason is pretty clear. I was nice and chubby at the time




B series time... I rolled around with the single slam for long enough. Went through a bunch of different very fun set-ups. The D15b was one of my favorites when you could still find them WITH the LSD Tranny for barely more than $400






Here is a dash shot, I loved the CF inside and out




First Fuddruckers El Toro meet put together



Second Fudd meet, rain couldn't stop us... cameo by EK4 Tony

RIP JDM JON...




Some more shots by kevedge






Some serious BLING* which I was known for while rolling on Schumachers when everyone else was running out to buy slipstreams and c-8's




Fillin up, kevedge's second hatch... first to most but I had the pleasure of knowing his first red eg that he ran into a transformer box! oh and WITHOUT his license!!




A little BW action for ya... this WAS my last new CF lip purchased, It was #5




THIS IS DEFINITELY MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE SHOT OF MY CIVIC, HANDS DOWN



Hangin' at the "garage" aka my buddy scotty b's place. Where all the magic happened






Some last shots I took with the car in its final stage before selling






BBQ-ing for the homie Tanner's girlfriend's bday. The last meet I took the civic to




And lastly, the picture that went into the Autotrader to seal the deal. It was the end of the road for me and this car. I owned it for about 5 years I think... Now I have moved on to a DC, which is where the whole Honda thing started for me!

I have come full circle in a sense... just with a lot of maturity




I now roll in this...



It's still in progress but I plan to take some decent shots shortly after the holidays

kevedge, hit me up!

 

I don't know if you remember me, but I remember you from way back in the day..

Edit: Your teg is nice.

 

Damn dude hahaha if I had to guess who would be first to post on this topic I would never imagine it would be you


civichatchback.com for life brotha hahaha

 

omg.

cant believe u got rid of the hatch for a TEG after so long man..i remember drooling over that thing back when jdmcivic was moving

 

must have not been that long ago bro i see the s2k right there, the rotas i see those, the LRG STICKER...but i also see rrice cars in the back ground at the show..so im not sure...maybe u had this hatch for a long time..cuz alot of those pictures look new....btw 3years ago doesnt count as back in the day, not flaming..just saying..btw the car is beyond hot!

 

good ****.. i remember your hatch from awhile back. haha, i remember when you first had that picture with the reflection of you guys in the center cap of your schumachers, i thing i had that saved, along with the other pics of your first "shoot."

 

the pics are not exactly in order, and most are from the past 4 years

 

Your eg was really clean, the integra looks fresh..any more pictures?

 

that was very amusing.

was a clean hatch you had. glad to see you didnt leave honda.

 

nice pics man and good looking hatch too

 

nice timelines...!

 

NICE! it was fun looking through your cars history =]

 

I was waiting to see when you would paint the grilles black

Nice end result, nice time line, and nice new car

 

Thanks for all the kind words everyone


And I realize that the "timeline" might be confusing but keep in mind that many of the stages that my car was in lasted more than a few months, sometimes years.

The final stage it was in last two years before I decided to sell it

 

you and your friends really had some nice quality parts being what year it was

 

We liked to think that we were on the right track back then haha

 

gay

 

man i remember that hatch yours and mine shared a lot of things very similar cars

 

I remember this car, lovin' the new DC

 

retro-poster . I remember your hatch from way back when, still to this day looks sick

 

Your old hatch was pretty dope. The current DC is too.

 

Cool pics, I liked it, good luck with the Teg

 

NICE WRITE UP.

 

I remember seeing your old hatch when I first started looking around Honda-tech in like 2003 and was in love. SSR Schumachers were my favorite wheel for a long time because of pictures of your hatch. The new teg is pretty sick too though. Keep it up homie.
