Default my civic project.

ok so i dont get flamed... i know my car isnt anything great just wanted to share a few of my ideas. i dont really have the time or the income to devote to this car so i do what i can with what i got. i picked a second job to support my habit though.
and yes i know its ugly but, header, spoon spoiler, and rims are on their way. i washed and waxed the little bugger so i thought id share....





need to make a block off plate still.





homemade knock sensor. works perfect!

any advice would be cool. i know im guna get a "swap the motor" but i want to see what i can do with this one first. its been fun so far, the mini me swap was pretty easy, so lets see where it goes from here....

its actually one my girlfriend bought me off ebay, its like vadar gauges or something like that. there were like 160 shipped. def, sweet though, everyone always points them out. the needles took a little while to break in and smooth out but they were fine and are accurate.

Alot of people around my area run the steelies, I personally hate the looks of them, put on some OEM style rims would look pimp, GSR blades look good on that body style.

I like it dood.I always wanted either a white or silver hb, but I went to the opposite extreme and got a black coupe.Good luck with the car.I would say patience and quality parts first so that you dont have to do things over and over.

That's a nice gauge cluster. Did you have to do any modifications or just plug and play?
